Bittere Kers

The dry-down is where this really shines—the sandalwood and vanilla melt into the black cherry so it never turns syrupy, just a warm, creamy depth that lasts for hours. I keep catching whiffs on my collar long after lunch and it's honestly addictive.

I was a little worried the cherry would smell like candy, but the sandalwood grounds it so well—it’s tart and creamy at the same time. The drydown is all warm vanilla, and it lasts through a full workday without turning cloying.

That first spritz is pure black cherry, tart and juicy, but it settles into this creamy vanilla warmth that lasts for hours on my skin.
