The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, followed by the first sip of a rich cherry-infused cocktail.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Raw Cherry, created by Aaron Terence Hughes and launched in 2022, is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that balances the tartness of sour cherry with rich woody notes and vanilla warmth. The opening burst of sour cherry liqueur and mandarin orange sets an immediate contrast against the darker tones of dark chocolate and tonka bean in the heart. The base notes of Thailand oud and nutmeg add depth, creating a composition that is both vibrant and complex.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance with a light hand; the sour cherry and mandarin notes are bright but fleeting. The base notes of oud and nutmeg will develop over time, so one or two sprays to the pulse points is sufficient for a lasting effect.
