    What do reviewers say about Maraschino and French Defense?

    It opens fruity. Aggressively fruity, cherry and strawberry that some find almost medicinal in the opening minutes. But that initial sharpness settles.Maraschino
    Cherry-forward fragrances can feel one-dimensional, but the addition of chamomile and violet leaf here keeps it from skewing too sweet. It earns its romantic, refined reputation.French Defense
