“Espresso” has arguably been the anthem of summer season, so after I heard singing sensation Sabrina Carpenter was launching one other perfume (she already has Candy Tooth, a vanilla scent, and Caramel Dream, with amber and almond, in her assortment) the very first thing I considered was…a chocolate espresso-scented perfume, in fact. And I wasn’t too far off.
The pop star lately launched Cherry Child, a vivid new perfume housed in a chocolate bar-shaped bottle. Inside isn’t your typical fruity scent—notes of chocolate and brown sugar are blended into the juice. In a press launch, Carpenter stated she wished the scent to be “sudden however one thing upscale and complicated whereas nonetheless feeling playful and provocative.” And that it’s.
Attract editors are accustomed to the opposite cherry-infused fragrances available on the market, and Cherry Child reminded a few of them of Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry, which kicked off the development when it launched in 2018. The (actually!) large distinction although: At $55, Carpenter’s is a fifth of the value (in comparison with round $405 in case you are including Tom Ford’s to your cart).
Personally, upon first spritz, I discovered Cherry Child to be a bit candy for my floral-loving nostril. Because the scent dried on my pores and skin, it advanced into one thing much less sugar-y candy and extra fruit-forward. Nonetheless, it wasn’t cherries I used to be smelling. As an alternative, it resembled the aroma of freshly baked apple pie—like a lighter model of Kayali Eden Juicy Apple, one in every of my favorites.
Seems, I used to be on the nostril (forgive the pun). Cherry is definitely within the combine—and so is apple and plum, plus peony and vanilla. In case you couldn’t inform from that checklist, it’s candy. How candy you ask? Take it from 4 different Attract editors who gave Cherry Child a whiff.
