A fairly straightforward and mostly linear offering. I love seeing a cherry fragrance that isn't weighed down with things like almond, marzipan, and/or heliotrope. The cherry here is a bit deeper without being heavy or syrupy and reminds me greatly of the cherry note in L'Occitane Cerisier Rouge (which is divine!) It's really delightful until the midpoint where I would have sworn it was a saffron note and not Haitian vetiver (for reference, I'm extremely anti-saffron/leathery notes). This saffronic element is not as harsh as some others I have come across, but it's just evident enough to be distracting and slightly nose turning. Once this fades, the musky drydown is rather muted and becomes a skin scent. Overall, I think this is a respectable fragrance that was maybe priced a little higher than it should have been for Avon, but is definitely of better quality than their standard fare. Discontinued now and getting harder to find.
