Actually, I am a big fan of Simone Andreoli. Here, I expected something of a similar caliber to 'Vicebomb' – a composition where the fruit is showcased beautifully in combination with a certain alcoholic heaviness and sweetness. Unfortunately, the passion fruit is hardly perceptible to me; instead, the fragrance develops in a rather masculine-tart way and seems overall quite unremarkable.

I was able to test the fragrance in the perfumery today and was immediately tempted to buy the full-size bottle. It interprets floral femininity in a new, creative way – like a lady who is almost too elegant to be touched.

I have to disagree with the other reviews: For me, the scent hardly smells of cherry, but rather gourmand like almond and shows a very linear development. In my opinion, the name "Cherry" is more of a marketing thing here. This fragrance is also not comparable to Duchessa by Gritti, as that one contains a significantly fruitier, less sweet cherry and offers more dimension overall.

I absolutely cannot understand the reviews that claim the fragrance has poor performance. Perhaps this is because nowadays people are only used to synthetic Ambroxan and 'clean musk' monsters. It is a great perfume, even if the price is set quite high. The cherry smells wonderfully authentic here, while fruity orange and woody notes provide a noble, Italian elegance. I am absolutely in love – for me, one of the best cherry fragrances, as the cherry here is not just an empty marketing promise. In this fragrance, the fruit literally comes to life.

The fragrance features a rather bright fruity cherry note and develops a strong sweetness that is personally a bit too much for me. Since the fruity aspect is more important to me than the gourmand one, it doesn't quite suit my taste. However, those who prefer a more marzipan-almond-like cherry will get their money's worth here. For me personally, the fruit unfortunately does not stand out enough.

The fragrance is warm, spicy and cherry-like, yet possesses a beautiful complexity and an understated elegance. It is reminiscent of Lost Cherry, but impresses with significantly more sophistication and longevity.

To me, this fragrance smells like old books by candlelight and a white, dramatic ruffled blouse – exactly how I imagine 'Interview with the Vampire' as a perfume. It reminds me a bit of Feminité du Bois, but possesses an even more pronounced, warm sensuality. For those who love dark-romantic scents, this bottle is an absolute must.

The fragrance is definitely masculine-tart; anyone looking for the feminine-sensual side of a dark cherry will likely be disappointed. For men or androgynous women, however, it is an exciting cherry option. Unfortunately, the cherry note hardly comes through on my skin – it might be different on men. On me, the fragrance develops an unpleasantly strong soapiness, which is why I eventually had to wash it off. The longevity is (unfortunately) extremely good. Furthermore, the comic-style look of the bottle would bother me a bit on the shelf, but I suppose I'm just picky about that.

Imagine this fragrance as the profound, slightly darker sister of Lost Cherry. To me, there is a note here that reminds me of red wine or fine leather. It feels erotic without being common or pandering. 12/10 – I am absolutely in love!

Overall, the fragrance seems very synthetic and has disappointing projection and longevity. It strongly resembles YSL Black Opium Over Red. After just five minutes, only a synthetic vanilla note remains, which can only be detected by sniffing very closely on the skin. Narcotic Delight would probably like to be what Vicebomb actually is.

The scent is okay, but not really mind-blowing. Unfortunately, the cherry is not the focus here. The tobacco, on the other hand, is pleasant and has a slightly hay-like note.
