What do reviewers say about Blackbird and Cherry Ambition?
Blackberry and fir are not subtle notes, they're here to announce themselves. The tart edge splits the room: some find it electrifying, others find it sharp. That charge is the whole point.Blackbird
This is cherry done differently, less syrupy than expected and more about the interplay between fruit, florals, and warm woods. The marshmallow softens the edges without making this feel juvenile.Cherry Ambition
