Raw Cherry

Raw Cherry by Aaron Terence Hughes is a bold, unisex gourmand fragrance that centers on a realistic, juicy cherry accented with dark chocolate, nutty almond, vanilla, and a distinctive Thai oud that adds woody, earthy depth. The opening features bright citrus and sour cherry notes that feel fresh and effervescent, before evolving into a rich, slightly boozy, and gourmand base layered with tonka bean and amaretto. The perfume delivers a striking performance with long-lasting projection and considerable sillage, notably strong in the first hours and lingering on clothes for up to days. Its dark, sensual character makes it ideal for evening wear and intimate occasions, with many praising its seductive, provocative quality. While some find the cherry note too prominent or synthetic, others appreciate its realism and strong backbone. The fragrance strikes a balance between sweet and masculine, earning praise for its complexity, versatility, and impressive longevity. Notably, it is not a subtle scent—its presence is bold, and it may overwhelm if over-applied.
