The notes and mood of No. 414 Black Cherry & Almond
The opening is plump, glossy black cherry drizzled with cherry liqueur, so juicy it almost smells edible. Bitter almond cuts through straight away with a marzipan like richness that stops the sweetness becoming sugary. At the heart, a soft Turkish rose and jasmine sambac add a plush, slightly jammy floral depth. The base is pure comfort: tonka bean, creamy sandalwood, earthy vetiver and warm benzoin give a woody, gourmand landing that hums against the skin. In short, a boozy cherry and almond dessert wrapped in warm woods.
- Top notes: Black Cherry, Cherry Liqueur, Bitter Almond
- Heart notes: Turkish Rose, Jasmine Sambac
- Base notes: Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Benzoin
- Fragrance family: Fruity oriental gourmand
Who it suits
No. 414 suits anyone who loves a statement scent. It is unisex and especially loved by those who enjoy sweet, fruity fragrances but want something richer and more sophisticated than a simple fruit perfume.
When to wear it
This is an evening and cold weather scent at heart. Its boozy sweetness and woody warmth come alive in autumn and winter, which makes it ideal for dinners, dates, parties and nights out where a memorable trail is welcome. In high summer heat it can read a little heavy, so save it for cooler days.
How to apply it
Spray onto moisturised skin from about 15cm away, aiming for warm pulse points such as the neck, the inside of the wrists and the chest. Let it dry naturally rather than rubbing your wrists together, which can flatten the top notes. One or two sprays is enough; cherry and tonka are rich, and a light touch keeps it elegant. For a softer finish, spray once into the air and walk through the mist. Keep the bottle somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight so the fragrance stays fresh.
