Artisan Cherry Vetiver, from Avon was released in 2020. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Cherry, middle notes of Vetiver, and base notes of Musk.
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.
