Cherry Punk
by Room 1015
Cherry Punk is a bold, unapologetic fragrance that blends juicy cherry with a deep, worn leather base, creating a dark, sexy, and unexpectedly complex scent. The opening bursts with a bright, slightly artificial cherry—reminiscent of a maraschino cherry or syrupy cough drop—that quickly fades into a smooth, smoky leather with hints of patchouli, tonka, and saffron. The transition is abrupt: the cherry becomes a subtle, sweet undercurrent rather than a dominant note, while the leather takes center stage in the drydown, often dominating the scent. This evolution gives the perfume a dynamic, almost dramatic quality—starting playful and youthful, then maturing into a deeper, more mature, ‘I’m not messing about’ vibe. It's excellent for evening wear or night out, offering a raw, punkish energy without being overly aggressive. While some find the initial chemistry a bit synthetic or tire-like, many describe it as an authentic, well-blended leather-cherry duet that feels both bold and wearable.
