813 Cherry On Top

This fragrance is a floral fruity gourmand, led by a strong cherry and raspberry opening. The heart features sweet marshmallow and gardenia, creating a sticky, playful scent that feels like a dessert on the skin. It sits comfortably in the sweet and fruity category, perfect for spring or summer outings.

The opening is a sharp, juicy blast of cherry and raspberry that grabs attention immediately. As it settles, the marshmallow and gardenia bloom, smoothing out the fruitiness with a creamy, powdery texture. By the time it fully dries down, the sandalwood and musk provide a soft, cozy base that lingers closer to the body.

You can expect moderate longevity, typically lasting about four to five hours on skin. Because it uses delicate fruity and floral notes, it may need a top-up if you are wearing it for a full workday or a long evening out. It performs best in mild to warm weather settings.

The sillage is moderate, projecting at about arm's length for the first hour or two. It leaves a pleasant, sweet scent trail without being overpowering, making it a safe choice for crowded spaces like offices or casual brunch gatherings where you want to smell good but not intrusive.

This fragrance shines brightest in spring and summer. The fruity cherry and raspberry notes feel fresh and light in the heat, while the marshmallow note adds a fun touch for sunny days. It could work in early fall as well, though it might feel a bit too light for harsh winter temperatures.

Yes, it is generally office-friendly due to its moderate projection. The sweet marshmallow and gardenia notes are approachable and not too challenging. It conveys a cheerful, friendly vibe that works well for casual professional settings or creative environments, provided you do not overspray during the morning commute.

While marketed as unisex, the marshmallow and gardenia notes lean it slightly toward the feminine side of the spectrum. However, the woody sandalwood base provides enough depth for anyone who enjoys gourmand scents to wear it comfortably. It comes down to personal taste rather than rigid gender norms.

It is an excellent choice for a beginner who enjoys sweet, accessible scents. The cherry and marshmallow notes are immediately recognizable and easy to like, making it less polarizing than woody or animalic fragrances. It is a safe, playful gift for birthdays or holidays for someone building their collection.

Yes, this works well for layering. Try pairing it with a simple vanilla or woody fragrance to ground the fruity cherry notes and give them more longevity. It also pairs nicely with light floral mists if you want to emphasize the gardenia heart during a warm spring day.

Compared to darker, boozy cherry scents, this version is brighter and more playful. It lacks the heavy incense or medicinal quality found in some niche cherry perfumes, focusing instead on the edible, candy-like facets of the fruit. It feels more like a cheerful summer accessory than a serious winter evening scent.
