Gritti Duchessa Perfumy

I don't see the point in comparing this fragrance to anything else. It's exquisite. The cherry note is very vibrant and it lingers for a very long time. And when I say very long, I mean verrrry long. Back in the spring of 2024, I sprayed this fragrance on my hand in a well-known department store. Of course, it ended up on the sleeve of my jacket. So, in the autumn of 2024, I took out my jacket from the closet and the sleeve still smelled of this fragrance. For me, it was a sign that I had to buy it. And I did. I'm very happy that it turned out to be an original fragrance (the relatively low price did raise some concerns, but it was worth it). The fragrance smells so wonderful that I'm ready to wear it even through an oxygen mask. The longevity, I can't stress enough, is outstanding (including the longevity of all the main components, including the cherry, which can be quite temperamental in perfumery and tends to leave a composition quickly). But I must warn you, there is also a hint of incense that can be overwhelming in closed spaces if you overapply it (: 1-2 sprays are more than enough. Even if you plan to wear the same clothes the next day, you can skip reapplying it - you will still have a trail for another day or two).

I received the Tom Ford Lost Cherry perfume and they also showed me this one, which is similar. I fell in love and took it home. In terms of Tom Ford, I will come back as they have similar scents. There are similar notes to Bacardi. The cherry is slightly sharp, almost not sweet, and somewhat smoky or alcoholic, but not overly so. It reminded me of going to the dentist, which I don't like, but it's appropriate here, possibly because of the presence of cloves and anise. It has a slight bitterness, perfect for evenings and autumn. I don't usually wear this type of fragrance, I prefer more vanilla and heavy scents. However, the composition is successful and I will continue to wear it.

You will like it if you appreciate MFK BR540 and TF LOST CHERRY. It reminds me a little of Marc-Antoine Barrois Ganymede. Can you imagine how amazing that blend is? The scent is really similar to those fragrances, smoky and hookah-like, and it lasts a long time. It's perfect for an evening out. If you enjoy the scents I described earlier, I highly recommend giving it a try. You will have a pleasant experience.

A good cherry scent. The cherry is not sweet, not sour, not chemical, but slightly dried. It may feel a bit suffocating in a warm room.
Overall, it is a very worthy unisex fragrance that suits both men and women.
It has a longevity rating of 4+ out of 5. It is worth its price, I bought an 8ml decant and really liked it. There was no chemical or iodine smell on us.

I am satisfied with the purchase.

In addition to my previous review, I would like to mention that after 2 weeks of use, a iodine note has been added to the scent, which is quite noticeable from the bottle but less noticeable on the body. Only now I understand why some users compare it to bakara.

I have a perfume. The longevity is excellent, I sprayed it in the evening and still feel it on my hair in the morning. I apply it behind my neck, under my hair. Not many fragrances last well on me, but this one does. The cherry note is not like a sweet compote, it's more sophisticated and refined. I can barely detect the almond, although I would prefer it to be more prominent.

I applied 2 sprays in the morning and the scent lasted until the evening. They are unreal! I have fallen in love completely and irrevocably. For the first 2 hours, I could smell a bright, sweet cherry with hints of almond, iris, and a subtle clove fragrance (but not irritating). Somewhere around the third hour, a masculine scent unfolds on me with a final cherry note. As the evening approaches, the masculine scent becomes stronger and the cherry note fades. Now, this is my favorite.

The fragrance is intriguing and sensual, but unfortunately, it lacks longevity. After just 2 hours, it completely disappears, making it even difficult to detect on clothing by the evening.
