The note presents a wonderfully vibrant and often audacious sweetness, immediately conjuring the image of a candied, ruby-red fruit suspended in syrup. Its initial burst is intensely sweet, almost cloyingly so for some, with a distinctly artificial yet appealing fruitiness that marries the juicy, succulent essence of a ripe cherry with a pronounced almond-like undertone, reminiscent of cherry pits or marzipan. There's often a slight boozy or liqueur-like quality to it, adding a layer of sophisticated indulgence. The texture is perceived as syrupy and smooth, lacking the tartness or crispness of a fresh cherry. Its intensity is high, providing excellent projection that can fill a space with its playful aroma. As a top or heart note, it makes a bold statement, commanding attention, but can be artfully woven into a base to lend a prolonged, sweet, and somewhat nostalgic trail, especially when paired with heavier fixatives. Its longevity is surprisingly good for such a vivid fruit accord, often lingering pleasantly for hours, evolving slightly to reveal more of its sweet, powdery, or almond facets.
