Dark cherry, rum and a trace of ink
Cherry Ink is Lorenzo Pazzaglia's avant-garde take on cherry. Cherry and black cherry twist together with an unusual ink note, and rum and red wine warm the fruit from the first moment. The brand describes the result as deep, dark and reflective, ending in a grand amber and woody finish.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Cherry and black cherry lead, lifted by bergamot and black pepper, while a rum accord already puts a warm, boozy edge on the fruit. The cherry here is dark rather than candied. The brand lets rum and red wine run through the whole perfume, so that warmth is there from the very start.
Red wine opens the heart, joined by damask rose, jasmine, lily of the valley and mimosa. Warm spices and myrrh add depth, and the ink note sits here too, the element the brand uses to make the cherry deep and reflective. It is the most unusual stretch of the perfume.
Vanilla berries, tonka bean, benzoin and amber make the base sweet and resinous, while patchouli, musk, precious woods and agarwood (oud) add weight. The brand calls the finish grand, amber and woody. In extrait strength the base stays concentrated and wears close to the skin.
Wearing it
Cherry Ink is rich, so one or two sprays on the chest or the inside of the wrists are enough. It is at home on cool evenings in autumn and winter, when the spices, rum and amber have room to settle. In warm weather, apply it with a lighter hand.
For people who like dark fruit with a boozy warmth, and who prefer their cherry deep rather than sugary. It is listed as unisex. It fits evenings out, dinners and occasions where you want a perfume with some mood, more than a quiet office or a hot afternoon.
Cherry Ink starts from a clear and unusual idea: cherry made reflective by an ink note, with a boozy side of rum and wine. It was created by Lorenzo Pazzaglia himself, handcrafted in Italy as an Extrait de Parfum, and belongs to the brand's own Cherry collection.
Questions
Cherry leads, but the brand pairs it with an ink note, rum, red wine and spices, so the effect is deep and dark rather than candied. The base adds vanilla berries and amber for some sweetness.
Autumn and winter evenings suit it best, as do dinners and special occasions. In summer or in daytime heat, keep to one spray and let the fruit stay in front.
Start with one or two sprays on the chest or wrists. It is an extrait with a dense base, so there is no need for more, and a light hand keeps the wine and spice balanced.
Yes, for someone who likes dark fruit and a boozy, amber-woody finish. For a person who prefers fresh or light perfume, a gentler choice would suit better.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
