I gotta admit, I’m a sucker for anything cherry scented. I mean, who isn’t? But sometimes, you get those fake-y cherry smells that just scream “cough syrup” and nobody wants that, right? Thankfully, from what I’m reading, “Oh, Cherry” seems to be aiming for something a little more… sophisticated.
They’re calling it an “irresistible addiction” and saying it brings on the bold with a “punch of red fruit.” Okay, Bath & Body Works, I see you with the marketing speak. But the real kicker is the fragrance notes: black cherry, sheer magnolia, and tonka bean. Magnolia and tonka? That’s, like, unexpectedly fancy! It sounds like it’s trying to be more than just your average sugary cherry bomb, y’know? Maybe even… *gasp*… classy?
I’m personally intrigued by the tonka bean in particular. That adds a warmth and a depth that you just don’t get with a straight-up fruit scent. It’s, like, the secret ingredient that could elevate this from “teeny-bopper body spray” to “actually kinda grown-up fragrance.” Fingers crossed!
I mean, the description promises it “puts the cherry on top!” of everything. Which… okay, a *little* cheesy, but I’m willing to overlook it if the scent delivers. And honestly, the fact that they’re selling it as a fine fragrance mist and body lotion makes me think they’re taking it seriously. They’re not just throwing cherry flavoring into some hand soap and calling it a day.
The big question is, will it live up to the hype? I’ve been burned before by Bath & Body Works scents that sound amazing online but smell like something vaguely chemical-y in person. Ugh, the *worst*. But something about the description of “Oh, Cherry” just has me hooked. Maybe it’s the promise of a less-cloying cherry scent. Maybe it’s the allure of magnolia and tonka. Or maybe I’m just a sucker for good marketing. Whatever it is, I’m tempted to snag a bottle and find out for myself.
