I just picked this up for $20 at Burlington. I was literally in the store watching review videos before buying. A problem I have with alot of these cheaper colognes at department stores is a lot of them tend to have a weak scent and smell very similar. I was extremely impressed by this one. It has a hint of a cherry smell but you really smell the Amber. It has a very manly smell to it definitely worth the $20. Highly recommend if you want to add something new your collection that different.
The first time I smelled it, my olfactory senses were overwhelmed. I didn't know what I was smelling. I didn't like it. But now, I do like it. I use it for sleep time. It's relaxing now. But I have to use it as a layer if I want to wear it outside. I like to layer it with Varsha
I just recieved this one and off the back i got a sweet and beautiful Cherry Cola vibe then the dry down does give me Baccarat Rouge 540 vibes. I love it just wish it were a bit stronger. This fragrances smells like something my dad use to wear and it makes me miss him dearly 🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤🕊🕊🕊
I too picked this up yesterday at Burlington. It was was a blind buy but the notes peaked my curiosity. As it dries down i think its going to be an enjoyable fragrance. I'm just now opening it while watching your video. For now I'll rate it 7/10. Not my favorite but for $20 it was a good investment & I will be wearing it ! Thanks for your review.
I just purchased this and tobacco & tonka bean at my local Burlington and man for 40 bucks you can’t go wrong. I wore it right away and layered it with Initio magnetic blend no 7 and let me tell you I SMELL GOOD TONIGHT
I have a sample of this. Loving this scent. It’s addictive. It isn’t too syrupy. I get the Cherry . The Amber isn’t overwhelming. Hoping to get a full bottle soon. It’s So good.
This really sounds like a great fragrance. The presentation seems pretty basic which is fine because it is quite affordable. Thanks for the review Steven.
i also love La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto(black bottle one with white pink sticker). The smell is so addictive. Smells cherry like but no cherry is listed on fragrantica though. Only rose, leather, almond , tea etc.
This is my first time looking one of your videos, usually i just watch latino channels because i'm mexican so in that way i can understand 100% what they're saying, but i understood 95% of the things you said, also i need to improve my english lol, but i really liked your review, i was looking a review in spanish, but nothing and you were the first on the list, good job! I am gonna buy It!
Oooh 2 of my favourite notes, need to get this. Thanks for the video Steven! My favourite cherry fragrance of all time is BDK's Rouge Smoking. Have you tried that one?
Thanks for the review! I too like a good cherry scent. I couldn't agree more this fragrance is very pleasant. I also own Black Perfecto and wear it more formal saving the Dark Cherry & Amber for casual occasion. Glad that you mentioned Guerlain L'homme Ideal I have the EDP (which I love) and will consider the EDT. Again Thanks!
Nice job Steven appreciate your thorough breakdown on this one. I've yet to try any but it seems Banana Republic does a pretty good job with their fragrances from this line and the icon series u mentioned. As always I appreciate u sharing ur knowledge! - Colin
As always enjoyed your review. I haven't checked your older videos but wanted to know if you have reviewed Lalique Encre Noire, Encre Noire Sport and Encre Noire Extreme and what's your take on them. 😊
I love a good cherry scent , I've not tried anything from the line. So it's interesting to learn more about it. Some other great ones are Montale intense cherry & mancera wild cherry. Ramon monegal cherry musk and bdk parfums rouge smoking 🔥
Notice though that all notes are often not listed, because all fragrances has a set of synthetical notes, for example a cherry can be 20 synthetical fragrance material, so it`s not really "cherry" it`s just what people picture it, it`s the same no matter niche or designer.
Hi! I was looking for a fragrance which I can wear alongside my traditional japanese clothes. I am into japanese culture and I am usually combining my dressing style with samurai fashion. I found this fragrance on the internet. What do you think? Can this fragrance be associated with Japan? Does it fit the picture?
The banana republic tobacco and Tonka has became my most worn scent this winter, the vintage green 75 is a nice sent as well. I'm most curious to try this on I just haven't found it in stock at a local discounter yet.
Just got this from my local BR Today. It’s a skin scent (that means it’s dead) within an hour. Good thing it’s only $50 so you can afford to repeat apply all day. Cuz you’re going to have to.
This one is getting hard to find, finally picked it up. I haven't found one of these style Banana Republic I didn't like. I'm trying to get the whole collection in this style bottle.
@@Redolessence All is well with me too! I am still waiting with baited breath for the Dua release of their take on Roger and Gallet's Blue Carnation. Have you heard anything in these past few weeks?
Delices de cartier is a cherry based perfect perfume from 2006..............opulent, gourmand and "delicious". Please can you review it? It would be very instersting to me to hear your opinion. Hi from Mexico.
Oh wow! Shawn Mendes signature 1 is actually one of my favourites! It always gets me compliments. The second one is absolutely generic and really underwhelming. So I don't know which one you exactly mean this smells like. Because if this smells like the first one, I'm ordering this right away. Since the Shawn Mendes fragrance got discontinued.
I bought them when I heard about them being fragrant, but unfortunately they smell like men’s scents and I cannot use them because I almost lose consciousness and have shortness of breath. My favorite perfumes are only fruity perfumes🍉🍓🍇🍒
I need some more colognes to look into, I love polo ultra blue, eternity aqua,Invictus,d&g light blue,d&g intenso,1 million,Kenneth Cole black & blue,any suggestions?I love aquatics as you can tell.
In here South Korea Louve,Lost Cherry,are Cherry Musk 3 famous cherry fragrances. I'm actually curious about this one. As Lost cherry is bit expensive, is it okay to use this??? I used to be sad, because every time I smelled cherry fragrances, other notes such as patchouli,leather,and powdery notes disturb me enjoying pure cherry note.So I dislike Guerlain and Mancera cherries..... I hope this could be a great cherry fragrance for me
Isn't it a burden to always acquire a full bottle for a perfume review? I noticed that you rarely review samples or decants. I would imagine running out of space! Or maybe videos that feature full bottles tend to get more views? Maybe a collector thinks differently than I do--a collector would probably acquire a bottle because it's good or interesting and that's enough. Thanks always for taking the time to do these reviews!
Great vid as normal, there's another similar frag to this from a brand I've never heard of in the UK, the fragrance is Black Amber by WOMO(think it's an Italian brand as that's where it shipped from). Anyway, the fragrance itself is very nice has a cherry, cacao, bitter almond, tobacco, amber, and vanilla and a few herbs and spice (can't remember off top of my head) the scent itself has a spicy cherry brandy feel and very comforting lasts around 6-7 hours on skin and around10 hours + on clothes with a moderate projection for around 2 hours. In all worth checking out.
hi steven, totally unrelated fragrance i know, but i just wanted to ask a question, what in your opinion is the best in the ' boss bottled ' line, also if i buy ' the scent absolute ' would ' the scent intense ' be a pointless purchase, hopefully you see this and respond as i need to know asap TIA.
I don’t know if you’re still interested but pretty much all the The Scent line smell 90% the same as each other with the addition of a few separate notes in each one. The Scent Absolute is definitely my favourite in the line though. It’s amazing. The Scent Private Accord is nice also. Chocolate vibe.
Yes! I already have a bottle and I'm watching this. It's a gorgeous dark, smoky, sensual, grown up cherry fragrance with a bit of an edge, and as far as unisex fragrances go, this one has probably one of the best balances between feminine/masculine I've found. Quite unique in my experience of perfumes.
Idk why but when the cherry blossom comes out, I feel like it smells like sand or glass if they had a scent. I think I don’t like this cherry blossom note.
I concur with everything you have said. I don't like fruity scents. But< this one here... is a Grown woman's scent. It comes off unisex but, more lady like to me.

Why am I in the store watching this review 😂 thanks I’ll buy
I love this scent! Really pleased with the purchase. And I get a Baccarat Rouge vibe.
Right. But I personally do not like BR540, but this one I loved at first sniff.
Definitely do
It smells like Baccarat but with a cherry top note
The first time I smelled it, my olfactory senses were overwhelmed. I didn't know what I was smelling. I didn't like it. But now, I do like it. I use it for sleep time. It's relaxing now. But I have to use it as a layer if I want to wear it outside. I like to layer it with Varsha

I tried this the other day and liked it! I couldn't see many if any reviews on youtube and wondered why. Thanks for your review
Thanks for watching!
The fragrance smells wonderful layered with 83 Leather Reserve. If you feel it leans too feminine, try that.
I just purchased this and tobacco & tonka bean at my local Burlington and man for 40 bucks you can’t go wrong. I wore it right away and layered it with Initio magnetic blend no 7 and let me tell you I SMELL GOOD TONIGHT
I have a sample of this. Loving this scent. It’s addictive. It isn’t too syrupy. I get the Cherry . The Amber isn’t overwhelming. Hoping to get a full bottle soon. It’s So good.
check burlington coat factory if you have one in your state, they are 22 bucks on clearance.
This really sounds like a great fragrance. The presentation seems pretty basic which is fine because it is quite affordable. Thanks for the review Steven.
Thanks for stopping by, David!
£25 on sales for a banana republic fragrance is not exactly cheap!
Zahra Lamin very cheap
Its smells really good
Picked this up this weekend , 1st cheaply I’ve ever brought . Last all day on me and I love it ! Great with 540
Good choice!
Could you give a list of cherry heavy scenes, please 🍒 thank you for the review
Tom Ford Lost Cherry is my fav wear it daily
@@tragicmagiclover1396
Mancera- "Cherry Tobacco" is a secret assassin.
BDK Rouge Smoking - very unusual, nothing else quite smells like it.
Great video Steven , I have a sample of this fragrance. The fragrance smell good I wish it last longer on my skin.
Thanks!
Hi Stephen

Great review Steven! I do not own anything with a cherry vibe as of yet, and this one sounds intriguing. For the price it sounds like a safe choice.
Thanks for watching, Mike!

@@SnEaKeRSkEr thanks for the update! Have a great day!
Omg found this today at Burlington for 19.99 it’s a very dark in fragrance but still floral it’s definitely a nighttime scent
Yep I found it at Burlington yesterday 20 bucks that's crazy
Lol I just got it right now from Burlington Also for 19.99 in between all the Davidoffs & Adidas it stood out with the alarms around it lol
Yes at the Springfield mall in PA! 19.88
Same. Haven’t seen it again after I bought it so I’m glad I got it when I did
Sounds great thanks for sharing the tobacco one sounds great as well it's a purple bottle I believe if im not wrong
You're right!
Not sure when this came out I just picked it up today I don’t get anything maybe my bottle is old but for $20 bucks I won’t complain .. 🤷🏽♂️
What do you mean you "don't get anything?" Does it have no smell whatsoever?
Just got this from my local BR Today. It’s a skin scent (that means it’s dead) within an hour.
Good thing it’s only $50 so you can afford to repeat apply all day. Cuz you’re going to have to.
I just bought this...its gorgeous
This sounds like a great fragrance , the presentation , tanks for the review my friend Steven,. From Wisconsin..
Thanks, Israel! My pleasure!
Love this scent! Live from Wauwatosa!
This one is getting hard to find, finally picked it up. I haven't found one of these style Banana Republic I didn't like. I'm trying to get the whole collection in this style bottle.
I love all the hard work you put in and you always reply back to me Stay special never change
Thank you so much, Lenny! I will always do my best to reply back. I appreciate all the love and support! Have a wonderful day!

In here South Korea

3 famous cherry fragrances.

Hi Steven which two are your favorite from Prada line in terms of versatility and performance as well as scent
I love Infusion d'Cedre and Marienbad! However, keep in mind that I don't find Marienbad to be too versatile.
@@Redolessence what's your take on Prada l'homme intense and Prada Luna Rossa carbon or black
@@kevin_mugo I love Carbon, but I find it too similar to Sauvage. I'm not a fan of Black, and I like L'Homme Intense much more than the original.
@@Redolessence thank you sir
Thank you, handsome, for providing links. I wish more of your colleagues would do the same. Cheers and love.
Thank you too!
I have this fragrance and ❤ it.
I'm so glad to hear that!
Can you please review wild cherry by Mancera. You’d be the first to do it! Please!!!
I'd love to!
Thanks for sharing your video take care 😇
Do you prefer Banana Republic Dark Cherry & Amber or do you think Lost Cherry by Tom Ford is a better scent?
Isn't it a burden to always acquire a full bottle for a perfume review? I noticed that you rarely review samples or decants. I would imagine running out of space!

Maybe a collector thinks differently than I do--a collector would probably acquire a bottle because it's good or interesting and that's enough. Thanks always for taking the time to do these reviews!
I think that the liquid inside decants can't always be trusted and it's usually not enough for me to fully understand the fragrance.
Great vid as normal, there's another similar frag to this from a brand I've never heard of in the UK, the fragrance is Black Amber by WOMO(think it's an Italian brand as that's where it shipped from).

@@loud6037 How about longevity? How many hours approximately the fragrance stays?
Am I the only one that thinks that the opening kind of smells like Baccarat rouge?
I'm sure there are others out there who would agree with you.
This one sounds interesting
Let me know if you want me to bring it on Thursday!
😎waw amazing content, I liked dark cherry n amber review 👍
Thanks!
ehhhh dont kno about this 1 ....cherry scents not my thing ...besides pure havane that has a bit of sweetness but other than that nayyyy 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤔🤔
Thanks for commenting! I completely understand
I want this fragrance but i can't find it and it's going for 85 is ir worth it ?
It’s in all the Burlingtons I go to for $22 before tax.
Love your shirt ;)

Idk why but when the cherry blossom comes out, I feel like it smells like sand or glass if they had a scent. I think I don’t like this cherry blossom note.
Do they have any samples of it
I think you can purchase a sample, yes!
Thanks Steven! 🌿🇺🇸🦅
My pleasure!
I have this. Its way too light and weak to me. No strength or power to it. 😮
Good review
Thank you, Dawin!
Is this fragrance unisex?
I would say so
@@Redolessence ordering it for sure. Thank you
Is this fragrance Vegan?
Yup! No animal ingredients (musk, ambergris, civet, castoreum, etc.) are used and they don't test on animals.
Awesome! So happy to hear this. Thanks a lot for your quick response!
Been dying to get this for fall
This one is good!
@@Redolessence I just processed cart and got it lmaooo. Can't wait to get it. Great Review!
Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to receiving it.
4-5 hours for a cherry/amber fragrance? Ouch... but it is a Banana Republic offering.
Yeah, I was hoping for better longevity from it.
You can say it's just a Banana Republic offering but they hire some famous perfumers
Dark cherry is for men or women?
Unisex in my opinion!
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

Strange and interesting combination !
