My fascination with cherries didn’t begin with the actual fruit, funnily. Lana del Rey, every Tumblr girl’s favourite artist, released ‘Cherry’ and I was hooked the minute I heard it. So much so that I ended up getting a pair of cherries tattooed on me. Followed by my love for cherry pies and cherry cola, cherry fragrances are my current favourite and here’s why you must try the scent too.
When we think of fruity fragrances, citrus and berry scents are everyone’s first choice. Somehow, cherry fragrances don’t even make it to the line! However, cherry fragrances are quite the cherry on top when the memo is sultry, revitalising and magical. A powerful scent which has the ability to transform into a sweet and seductive one, cherry fragrances deserve an equal spot in our fragrance wardrobe.
Here are our picks for cherry fragrances that need to be on your shelves if you’re convinced to buy one.

Fruity-floral fragrances never disappoint. Dior’s Rouge Trafalgar was created to celebrate the vivid designs at Christian Dior’s haute couture shows.
