Lovefest Burning Cherry is a dark, woodsy cherry fragrance with a complex evolution. The opening delivers a bright, juicy cherry accented by raspberry and bergamot, creating a photorealistic, elegant fruitiness reminiscent of a deep red cherry liqueur. This fades quickly into a warm, creamy praline and tonka base, layered with smoky palo santo, guaiac wood, and vetiver. The result is an intimate, sensual scent with moderate projection and longevity that settles close to the skin, making it ideal for cooler months and evening wear. While some find the cherry note fleeting or medicinal, many describe it as a refined, gourmand-oriented alternative to Tom Ford's Lost Cherry—opulent yet less boozy, with pronounced woody and balsamic depth. Its performance varies significantly by skin chemistry, with some reporting 8+ hours on clothing and brief but noticeable sillage on skin.
