Black Cherry Sufganiyot

Sugar-dusted and overflowing with Luxardo maraschino cherries and a hint of blackberry.

This one is super good! The yummiest cherry filling with just a touch of pastry. It’s truly mouthwatering. Smells exactly like cherry filling rather than a fresh fruit. Kinda reminds me of the smell of a cherry Toaster Strudel.  This will probably be the one Yules I’m tempted to full size.

I get a full on meaty black cherry jam with a thin layer of pastry with a hint of powdered sugar texture. 

 

The cherry note is a tricky one for me, but here it's very well balanced with the dough pastry. Lovely!

This is a very sweet cherry on me that never veers into candy/artificial territory.

Like most sufganiyot scents, this is more about the filling than the pastry, but the pastry is present. It goes on as cherry jam and powdered sugar, but the cherry has a tartness to it that doesn't make it sweet enough to veer into cherry lollipop territory. The pastry ends up showing up with wear, but is mostly noticeable when you smell the scent close to the skin. It remains mostly cherry in the throw.

 

My partner and I both really enjoy this since we both are fans of cherry scents, so I'll probably have to get a back-up bottle before it goes away.

LOUD black Cherry over vanilla. Black Cherry syrup over vanilla. In a good way. The pastry is a barely there background note.

In the bottle, it smells like thick cherry filling, canned and ready to be poured for pie has been drizzled with maraschino cherry syrup. 

 

Then I put it on myself and it immediately went to pastry. Not only was the cherry filling darker, trending into black cherry, but I instantly smelt like I had rubbed buttery, flaky pie crust across my skin. 

 

Ultimately, a few minutes in it mellowed out into a sharp cherry pie and stayed there. 

 

I usually like sugary scents, but I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It is so distinctly one specific sweet treat that it mostly keeps making me crave pie. 

 

Low to medium throw. Lots of staying power -- I still smelled just as cherry after 12 hours, which is longer than most BPAL scents last on me. 

 

My best friend tried it too and ended up smelling like someone tried to bake maraschino cherries. They're not a fan of sweet scents and said this one was particularly sweet.

Thoughts before testing: cherries are my one true fruit love to eat, but I’ve never found a cherry perfume that didn’t immediately turn medicinal cough syrup on me. My hopes for this are high though because Dorian Suf from last year was one of my most worn perfumes of 2024. 
 

Wet: Mmm! Sweet, real cherries, super juicy and delish. No medicinal hints here but also no pastry. 
 

Dry down: Absolute 100% cherry all the time. It’s deeper and a little darker than in the wet stage, maybe from the blackberry?

 

Dry: This is freaking phenomenal. The cherry stays lush and dark and sweet, never medicinal. 
 

Final thoughts: I’ve found my cherry perfume true love. This is terrific from the wet stage all the way to the far dry down (this lasts a solid 6 hours before I have to try and smell it). The pastry never shows up but I actually don’t miss it. 
 

Verdict: hoarding, at least 1 backup.
