The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 by Guerlain and crafted by perfumer Delphine Jelk, Cherry Oud is a daring blend of cherry sweetness and the deep richness of oud. The composition opens with bright, juicy notes of cherry that cut through the smoky, animalic base of leather and oud. This contrast between the fresh fruitiness and the earthy warmth creates an intriguing tension that keeps the scent engaging throughout its evolution on skin.

How to wear it

Two sprays are sufficient — the fruity top notes are vibrant but fleeting, giving way to the richer base notes. This fragrance performs best in cooler evenings when its smoky warmth can envelop you without overpowering.
