    Real talk

    Rum-soaked cherry, sweet enough to flirt. Some find it bold; others find it their signature. The sweetness is a feature here, not a flaw, if you've been avoiding gourmand fragrances.Melting Lust
    If you want a fragrance that smells like a Venetian palazzo in autumn, this is it. Black cherry and clove create a cozy, opulent feel, but the iris in the drydown keeps it from being overly sweet.Duchessa
