The title is actually as ambiguous as it sounds.

Without a doubt, Lost Cherry is an unusual, delicious, almost gourmand, yet fruity fragrance. I immediately fell in love with him and was even more happy that I got him as a present for my birthday this year. Nevertheless, I find the name so wrong that it is actually right again. Because in my opinion, the cherry only plays second fiddle here. For my taste (more exactly: my nose) the bitter almond dominates here clearly.
Now I have to say that due to my experiences in various chemical laboratories in the past I react a little sensitive to bitter almond aroma (the poisonous and carcinogenic chemical nitrobenzene smells totally delicious after bitter almonds - which ruined my enjoyment of a glass of Amaretto for some years).
As I said, it may be due to my hypersensitivity to the aroma of bitter almonds, so for me the cherry, although present, is a little lost.
However, this does not diminish the uniqueness of this beautiful composition.
Perhaps they could be seen as a reminiscence of the time when our grandmothers in robes sipped a glass of cherry liqueur or amaretto over afternoon coffee. Not that my grandmother (she had an agricultural farm) would have done this, but the performance is simply beautiful ;-)

The fragrance has an overall long shelf life, which is in line with the price segment. What is a pity for me personally is that as soon as I have applied the scent, I no longer smell it on myself at all. With other fragrances it is usually the case that they say "hello" again and again during the day, but the lost cherry is always lost on the way to my nose. Is anyone else going to do it like this?

Despite everything I would let him give me at any time again ;-)

Resonance is an exciting fragrance. Exciting above all, because here a guiding component is used, which one hardly finds in other smells: Cork.
There are currently only 4 fragrances listed on Parfumo that contain cork in some form as a fragrance ingredient.
What destroys a valuable product in wine as a false aroma is very elegantly played and represented here. Elegant not in the sense of fine, floral, chiselled - but elegant in the sense of "Here is cork and we round it off beautifully with vanilla and incense". Even if the other components always appear in the perception, they are never so overdosed that the cork as star of the fragrance is robbed of its main role.
In any case a recommendation for lovers of unusual wood notes.

Sounds weird at first... it's also!
A daring experiment, but at the same time also surprising. I assume that the scent polarizes strongly, especially because of the strong synthetical note.
Henry of Blackbird told me on Esxence that they had been researching the fragrance component for a long time, which leaves this typical impression of warm electronics. I think they did a good job. To like the scent you probably need a certain electro-affine prehistory. I still remember too well how as a teenager I often sat in front of our Commodore C64 and gambled with my buddies for hours or nights. At that time the computers were not "tres chique" in aluminium and glass, as they are today, but in an ordinary plastic case with large transistors inside, which became warm when the needles were constantly being removed and caused the pleasant smell of warm electronics and plasticizers evaporating from the plastic cases. That was my youth.
But quite apart from the nostalgic enthusiasm, I might add that I have a penchant for synthetic fragrances. Who likes e.g. Odeur 71 or 53 from CdG is also in good hands with the electronic banana.
The banana, however, is very discreet. When you know she's inside, you can smell her right away. If you don't know it, you only notice a trace of creaminess in the background, which literally holds the electronics together.
Not for everyone, not for every day, but always something extravagant to attract attention!

I'll tell you what: Fascinating.
Right at the first test, I thought to myself, this smells like hay. I hadn't known that about a scent like that before. I find Erawan unusual, even unique - in a positive way. He stands out very clearly from the umpteenth rose, the 500th oud and the countless repeated fragrance themes and dares to go a new way.
In Thai, Erawan is a mythical elephant that has the magical ability to make rain. I can't smell the rain here, though. The fragrance has a rather pleasant dryness for me - I would almost draw a certain parallel to the powderiness of Iris
Perhaps it is because I grew up in the country - at least this hay aroma radiates a certain cosiness and security to me. Just like children playing on the farm in the straw, or a romantic date on the hayloft of the old barn.
All other notes of the fragrance description play a subordinate role for me and are difficult for me to identify in detail. I think that's also intentional, because they subordinate themselves to the actual theme of the fragrance, as I perceive it, and provide a harmonious cohesion.
For friends of extraordinary scents, which should nevertheless be wearable, absolutely recommendable.

Bois Premier - the first wood... i think and smell and there it is: The smell of a freshly broken green branch. One clearly smells the wood, but there is still such a light-fresh, almost green smell. The branch is still fully in its juice and when you open it you can literally feel the power and energy that is in it. Nevertheless, I feel the fragrance rather gently enveloping, than intrusive-forsch.
It's also not the green note of freshly cut grass or violet leaves, it's rather juicy here, almost fruity.
I don't think Bois Premier is smoky or peaty at all. Since I don't like smoky or peaty scents (and whiskeys) at all, I wouldn't miss such a note.
I find the coffee here exciting: if I had not read it, I would never have suspected it to be there. If you know it, you can imagine it, but it nestles gently against the wood and stays very much in the background. I'm a great friend of coffee fragrance and find it very exciting, for example, in Café Tuberosa by Atelier Cologne. Here, however, I would not have discovered him blindly.
All in all, I think Bois Premier has succeeded very well. In addition to the beautiful fragrance composition, the bottle is very beautiful, heavy and cuddly in the hand and comes in a high-quality box. Who hasn't tested this and the other fragrances of the Sources d'Origine collection yet: It's worth it!
