Overview

Lovefest Burning Cherry Eau de Parfum provides an initial vibrant burst of cherry and raspberry, transitioning into a woody base with notes of palo santo and patchouli. While aiming for a sophisticated blend, the fragrance falls short in longevity and projection, offering a fleeting experience that swiftly departs shortly after application, leaving behind a smoky woody trail.

Reviews

Public Review Sentiment

Initial impressions appreciate its captivating bottle presentation, yet several users note the fragrance as 'screechy' and 'poorly blended,' lacking depth and refinement. Many express disappointment at its transient nature, evaporating 'off almost entirely in 30 minutes' and likening the scent to 'a cheap body spray.' Nevertheless, some insist preferences include peacefully smoky notes, finding satisfaction in its low-key aroma.

When to wear

Casual Outings

Spritz this fragrance for a day of leisure activities or casual gatherings—its light, sweet aroma offers a delicate touch for laid-back settings.

Evening Events

Though fleeting, the subtle smoky and cherry notes can add a playful yet mysterious element to an evening ensemble, ideal for informal night meet-ups.

At Home Relaxation

Perfect for enjoying a quiet evening at home alone or with close friends—this scent adds a warm, personal dimension that uplifts spirits.

Night-Time Wind-Down

Apply before bedtime for a touch of nighttime luxury and comfort, rendering a serene environment as you unwind from the day's hustle.

Layering Tips

Softening Florals: Blend it with a light floral fragrance to soften the sharpness and offer a more rounded experience. Suitable for all genders.
Sweet Accentuations: Pair with a sugary scent, such as Sabrina Carpenter's Sweet Tooth - Cherry Baby, to enhance the sweetness. Suitable for all genders.
Enhancing Woody Depth: Combine with a richer woody fragrance to underline and extend its smokiness, adding depth for a more robust finish. Suitable for men and women.

The "Deep Dive"

The Dry-Down

Initially sharp, the fragrance quickly shifts from its bold opening to a somewhat smoky end with lingering woody notes. Unfortunately, it loses much of its complexity shortly after application, leaving a faint trail dominated by the smokiness. Many of the expected sweet and fruity notes diminish rapidly, leading to a rather abrupt evaporation and a predominantly woody residue. Overall, it lacks smoothness, with the blend feeling unrefined and rushed, failing to deliver a lasting or cohesive scent experience.

Who should wear it?

Those who enjoy fruity and woody fragrances with a hint of smokiness will appreciate this scent. It's perfect for individuals who want a less intense projection for low-key outings or personal relaxation. Ideal for casual settings, this fragrance is suited for both men and women who enjoy playful yet subtle scents.

Pricing

The 'Lovefest Burning Cherry' Eau de Parfum is available in a single 50ml (1.7 oz) size priced at $95 (£75). This pricing is competitive within the designer fragrance category, although the performance does not always justify the cost. Given its lackluster longevity and projection, prospective buyers might find better value alternatives. However, for those enamored by the scent profile, the price might still be justifiable for occasional wear.
