Hey good people, I decided to wear this AMAZING fragrance by the house of Room 1015. Cherry Punk was kindly introduced to me by our brother @Frank Barnett who sent me a sample a few months ago. First of all… look at that bottle. Red like bad decisions. Red like “texting your ex at 1:37am.” Red like “I swear it was only 2 sprays.” This is not sweet, innocent cherry, it’s more like a cherry in a leather jacket. Opening: dark, slightly tart cherry, no cough syrup vibes. Then the leather kicks in and says, “We’re not baking today.” It’s smooth, a little edgy, slightly spicy with that tonka warmth in the drydown. Performance? 6–8 hours on me. Solid projection early on. Not nuclear, but people will notice (especially if you do my classic 7-8 sprays… purely for science). Best in fall and winter nights. Date scent? Yes. Classroom scent? Let’s just say… maybe not! Cherry Punk is Lost Cherry’s rebellious cousin who joined a band! Here’s Frank’s great review: https://www.skool.com/bos/wavechd-by-room-1015?p=9e9e773c

Day off work today, so I went, again, for some fragrance testing. This time I managed to get a full wear spray of Fifty Four by Jusbox. These niche Italians make a lot of music-themed fragrances, and pair each with a playlist. Fifty Four is a collab with YouTube perfume content creator The Perfume Guy, and the name comes from the seminal New York disco club of the Seventies. I absolutely LOVE this fragrance. Spicy-boozy-tropical-fruity off the top, with Pina Colada and Cardamom, which mellows through a sugary sweet deliciousness into a boozy woodsy smoky delight. Lots going on, and all of it good. I've got a full bottle on my radar. One annoyance is that I'd love a discovery set as they have a voucher-off-a-bottle-with purchase thing going on, but the house ship to everywhere in the world except the UK (stupid stupid stupid Brexit). They have a wonderful selection of fragrances, but I can't get my hands on any of them at a sample level. I've sent them emails to try and melt their Italian hearts, to no avail. Just as well really, my second-favourite fragrance of theirs is Micro Love, and I could never in good conscience buy a fragrance that evokes U2.

Yes I am, Addicted to Addicted
