Fragrance Profile:

• Top Notes:

  • Black Cherry: Raw Cherry Extreme opens with a more intense and darker cherry note than the original. The black cherry is ripe, juicy, and almost decadent, with a slightly boozy undertone that adds complexity. This cherry is less sweet and more robust, immediately captivating and drawing you into the fragrance.
  • Almond: Almond remains a key player in the top notes, but in this extreme version, it’s richer and more pronounced. The almond provides a creamy, nutty contrast to the cherry, enhancing the gourmand quality of the fragrance and adding a smooth, almost marzipan-like sweetness.

• Heart Notes:

  • Turkish Rose Absolute: The heart of Raw Cherry Extreme is dominated by a luxurious Turkish rose absolute. This rose is richer, darker, and more opulent than in the original. It adds a velvety floral layer that beautifully complements the intensity of the black cherry, providing a sophisticated balance between the fruity and floral elements.
  • Cinnamon Bark: The cinnamon in Raw Cherry Extreme is deeper and spicier, adding a warm, almost smoky quality to the heart of the fragrance. This spiciness enhances the richness of the cherry and rose, creating a more complex and layered scent experience.
  • Jasmine Sambac: Jasmine Sambac introduces an exotic, slightly indolic floral note to the heart. This jasmine is richer and more intense, adding a touch of white floral sweetness that contrasts with the darker notes and elevates the overall composition.

• Base Notes:

  • Tonka Bean Absolute: The tonka bean in the base of Raw Cherry Extreme is more concentrated, providing an even richer, creamier sweetness. The tonka bean absolute adds depth and warmth, enhancing the gourmand aspect of the fragrance and contributing to its long-lasting power.
  • Sandalwood: Sandalwood remains a key base note, offering a smooth, creamy woodiness that grounds the fragrance. In the extreme version, the sandalwood is richer and more luxurious, adding a velvety softness that perfectly complements the intense cherry and floral notes.
  • Patchouli: Patchouli is intensified in Raw Cherry Extreme, adding a deep, earthy, and slightly spicy dimension to the base. This patchouli is darker and more pronounced, providing a sophisticated contrast to the sweetness of the cherry and tonka bean.
  • Amber: The amber in Raw Cherry Extreme is warmer and more resinous, infusing the base with a golden, glowing warmth that enhances the overall richness of the fragrance. It adds a subtle sweetness and depth, helping to extend the longevity and sillage.
  • Vanilla Absolute: Vanilla absolute adds an even creamier, more indulgent sweetness to the base. This vanilla is richer and more decadent, rounding out the fragrance with a luxurious smoothness that lingers on the skin for hours.
