Skin Saints Eau De Parfum Cerise 100ml

Review: Skin Saints Eau De Parfum Cerise 100ml – A Sophisticated Scent at an Accessible Price

scents

The fragrance market has seen a rising trend of affordable perfumes that rival high-end scents in both quality and complexity. One standout in this category is the Skin Saints Eau De Parfum Cerise 100ml, currently available at Tesco. Priced at just £8—or £7 with a Clubcard—this perfume is turning heads not just for its affordability, but also for its surprisingly luxurious composition.

Fragrance Profile

Cerise opens with a burst of juicy cherry, evoking the playful yet decadent appeal of ripe fruit. This initial note is quickly softened by a heart of almond blossom, adding a creamy, floral nuance that balances the sweetness with sophistication. The dry-down is subtle but lasting, leaving a gentle trail that leans gourmand without becoming overpowering or headache inducing.

Performance and Longevity

For a fragrance in this price range, Cerise offers impressive longevity. On skin, it wears for around 5–6 hours before fading to a soft skin scent. When applied to clothing, the scent lingers even longer, making it a great option for day-to-night wear. The sillage is moderate—enough to be noticed without overwhelming those nearby.

Comparisons to Luxury Perfumes

Fragrance enthusiasts have been quick to point out the scent’s resemblance to Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry, a luxury perfume retailing at £390 for 100ml. While Cerise doesn’t offer the same depth or complexity of the original, it presents a remarkably similar olfactory experience at a fraction of the cost. For those looking to enjoy a cherry-forward fragrance without the high-end price tag, Cerise is an excellent alternative.

Packaging and Presentation

The 100ml bottle is simple and elegant, with a clean design that reflects the minimalistic branding of the Skin Saints range. While it may not have the heavy glass or intricate detailing of designer bottles, it remains practical and visually appealing.

Final Verdict

Skin Saints Eau De Parfum Cerise 100ml is a compelling choice for anyone looking to expand their fragrance wardrobe without breaking the bank. It delivers a beautiful balance of fruit and floral notes, decent performance, and a scent profile that rivals far more expensive perfumes. Whether you're a seasoned fragrance collector or simply looking for a new signature scent, Cerise is well worth considering. Purchase here: Skin Saints Eau De Parfum Cerise 100ml x Neil.

Avon Far Away Beyond the Moon Parfum

scents
Indulge your senses and others around you, when spritzing the new intense Avon Far Away Beyond the Moon Parfum. Recently launched this year (2023) and being the new addition to Avon's popular fragrance range "Far Away" the floral and oriental scent is definitely a must-have for anyone's fragrance collection. Containing a higher concentration of fragrance oil for better projection and longer lasting wear time, far away beyond the moon contains specific notes to make anyone believe your wearing a designer fragrance rather than an affordable one. 

Presented in the typical and same style far away bottles, far away beyond the moon distinguishes itself from the collection by appearing as blue to capture the moonlit sky you see at night. Opening with the top notes wild cherry, Baies Rose and Blackberry Accord, it then progresses to the middle notes Water Fruits Accord, rich Tuberose and of course the Belle de Nuit flower - a nocturnal flower that only blooms in the moonlight. The fragrance is then supported by the base notes of velvety Milk Moon Accord, Madagascar Vanilla, and Australian sandalwood.

Spritzing on the pulse points, this impressive fragrance will draw compliments day or night and lasts a considerable long-time from the moment of application. Suitable to wear anytime of the year, Avon has provided a unique designer fragrance but at an affordable price! Available individually as a 50ml bottle, purse spray, or body lotion, you can also purchase all three as a giftset! x Neil.

Moschino Toy Fragrances

scents

Discover the Moschino Toy fragrances that each present their specific scents in the legendary Moschino bear bottles. Launched in 2014, the Italian fashion design house presented the first scent Toy, followed by Toy 2 (2018), Toy Boy (2019), and then Toy 2 Bubble Gum (2021) in which each bottle is distinguished by the colour it presents with. I have loved Moschino fragrances throughout the years, in fact i can remember the scent Uomo? that still invokes happy memories from my teenage years, lets take a look at three of the Toy Fragrances. 

Toy 2.

scents

Presented in a clear bear bottle, Toy 2 was created by Alberto Morillas and Fabrice Pellegrin to be a floral, woody, and musk fragrance for women. The opening notes of apple, mandarin orange, and magnolia welcome the senses with sweet and fruity notes but there is a floral undertone from the magnolia to stop the citrus and fruit becoming too much. The heart notes peony and jasmine elevate the floral appeal while the white currant brings a character of tartness and sweet fruitiness. The base notes of musk, amberwood and sandalwood bring depth to this fresh and clean feeling scent.

Toy Boy.

scents

Presented in a opaque black bottle, Toy Boy was created and designed by creative director Jeremy Scott to be a Woody Spicy fragrance for men. The opening notes of pink pepper, pear, indonesian nutmeg, elemi and bergamot bring attention to your senses with its spicy, citrus, and woody profile. The heart notes of magnolia, rose absolute, clove bud, and flax flower contribute florals with spice and warmth. The base notes are Sylkolide, Cashmeran, Haitian Vetiver, Sandal Wood, and Amber that bring spice, warmth, sweetness, with woody, leathery, and smokey undertones in its entwined scent profile. A unique fragrance that sets itself apart from any other scent in your collection because its a rose scent that has been formulated extremely well!

Toy 2 Bubble Gum. 

scents

Presented in a transparent glass body with a cap offering the colour pink, the nose behind Toy 2 Bubble Gum is Olivier Pescheux that created a floral fruity fragrance for women. The opening notes are Candied Fruits, Bitter Orange and Lemon that when mixed bring a clean and fresh citrus with added sweetened fruit appeal. The heart notes are Bubble Gum, Bulgarian Rose, Blueberry, Peach, Cinnamon, Peach Blossom and Ginger which consists of sweet florals and fruits while the cinnamon and ginger add a touch of spice and warmth. The base notes are Musk, Ambroxan and Cedar which play a sweet and woody undercurrent to add dimension and play the important foundation to boost the lighter notes. A fun and playful eau de toilette that gives you a scent of bubblegum before transforming to a sweet and candied rose aroma.

It will be interesting to see if Moschino will be adding any new toy fragrances to this existing scent line and i wonder what the next one will be? I believe all scents are gender neutral, regardless of the marketing, if you like the scent and want to wear it, then wear it! x Neil.

Creightons Noir Rose Limited Edition Eau De Toilette. 

scents
Prepare yourself for the day ahead when spraying the delightful Creightons Noir Rose Limited Edition onto your pulse points and even your hair. The eau de toilette fragrance is a delightful day scent that combines the top notes of full rosy nuance geranium that has aromatic green undertones while aromatic clove offers a slight spicy warmness. The heart notes of romantic rose with sweet and cosy vanilla sit perfectly with the base notes of smoky oud and the woody and green notes of sandalwood.

Perfectly presented in outer packaging with roses adorned on the box, Noir Rose is presented in a glass bottle with a gold spray head and clear bottle cap. The term eau de toilette came from the French term “faire sa toilette” which means washing and getting ready while they typically contain 5% to 15% of aromatic compounds (a lot less then eau de parfum's) meaning they are much lighter and fresher with their scent profiles to gradually fade over several hours.

Targeting the pulse points of the wrists and also applying on the neck, Noir Rose performs exceptionally well throughout the day or night gently reminding you of its scent profile every now and then. The believable and realistic notes transport you to a rose garden that will uplift your wellbeing while reducing stress and relaxing you. Suitable for all ages and occasions, the Creightons Noir Rose Limited Edition Eau De Toilette is priced at £12.95 and available here: Noir Rose Limited Edition Eau De Toilette to add your scent collection x Neil.

Louis Varel Extreme Rose EDP 100ml.

The Louis Varel Extreme Rose Eau de Parfum 100ml. 

scents
Featured from the Louis Varel oriental collection, the extreme rose presents itself as a unisex sweet-oriental Eau de Parfum. Beautifully housed in a white heavy bottle, the roses are mixed with toffee and vanilla while also incorporating other specific notes to give this scent its unique scent profile, read on to discover more. Disclaimer: The links used are not affiliated and are placed for you to discover the product at the end of the blog post. 

Rose scents have somewhat been categorised to be just as they state "floral" with also their appeal being targeted to a mature audience, which i think do them an injustice. It is great to see more rose scents arriving on the scent scene that involve much more than their title or name might suggest while also seeing them appeal to a broader audience thanks to the perfumers who have re-invented rose perfumes.  

Louis Varel Extreme Rose EDP 100ml Scent Profile Features: 

Top Notes: Orange, Lemon & Toffee

Mid Notes: Rose, Patchouli oil & White Wood

Base Notes: Amber & Vanilla

Spraying onto the pulse points of the body will allow any perfume to project further because these areas are warmer, but extreme rose does not disappoint as from the first spray it lets you know immediately of its arrival and is still around you 5-6 hours later, longer when sprayed on clothes. Opening with the refreshing citrus notes of orange and lemon, the sugary sweet toffee note also included is the start of its unique journey. You will start to notice the powdery rose arrive while the sweet and dark patchouli oil and white wood provide the depth and character that any scent needs to make it unique. The amber and vanilla brings a warm and comforting undercurrent sweetness throughout the scent without it being nauseating or inducing a headache, the Louis Varel Extreme Rose EDP 100ML can be worn any season of the year and for any occasion. Discover the collection here: Louis Varel and available to purchase from Superdrug: Louis Varel Extreme Rose EDP 100ml  x Neil.

Petit Attitude Bee Avon.

Petit Attitude Bee Eau de Toilette 50ml Avon. 

Scents
Delight the senses when spraying the Petit Attitude Bee by Avon that is an affordable floral and gourmand fragrance that can be worn by any perfume lover. Presented and packaged to captivate your imagination before you have even pressed down on the spray head, the bees and flower cap head design give you a clue on what to expect, let's take a look at the notes and lasting power to see how well it performs.

Petit Attitude Bee features a top note of sugared pomelo, a middle note of orange blossom and a base note of honey nectar accord. The sugared pomelo reminiscent of grapefruit with its citrus profile is the perfect opening because of its enhanced sweetness, before the fresh white floral note of orange blossom mingles perfectly with the gourmand and powdery florals of the base note honey nectar accord.

The 50ml Eau de Toilette is one of those perfumes you reach for to subtly brighten your day by it  influencing your mood and lasts up to 3-5 hours when sprayed onto clothes, though you can safely store this in your bag for a quick spritz to relinquish its sweet, floral, and citrus profile. Petit Attitude Bee is priced at £7.00 and available to buy direct and delivered to your door here: Avon x Neil.

GoBo Natural Aluminium Free AHA Deodorant.

GoBo Natural Aluminium Free AHA Deodorant.

skincare
Discover the GoBo natural and AHA-formulated aluminium free deodorant that cleverly eliminates odours while still allowing the body to perspire naturally. Featuring naturally infused flower waters to provide the natural fragrance, this great alternative is ideal for those who cannot use essential oils and highly perfumed options because your armpit is a sensitive area that contains nerves, blood vessels, and lymph nodes. Read on to learn more about the GoBo natural AHA deodorant range, disclaimer: The links used are not affiliated and are placed for you to discover the product. 

The GoBo Natural AHA Deodorant Range.

Featuring a range of different floral waters to suit your personal likes you can choose from Jasmin, Orange Blossom and Rosewater while an unscented version is also available to purchase. The aluminium-free and alcohol-free deodorant features the AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) glycolic acid that is derived from sugar cane and is able to penetrate the skin to exfoliate and kill the bacteria that omits the B.O odour. The other great benefits are because it is effectively exfoliating and renewing the armpit area it can help to prevent in-growing hairs and painful blocked sweat glands while also helping to fade dark pigmentation caused by shaving. 

Applying The GoBo Natural AHA Deodorant.

Presented with a rollerball applicator, it is ideal to apply the deodorant to clean skin while also making sure if your underarm is exposed to the sun to wear a sunscreen as using any AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) may increase sun sensitivity. I love how hydrating the deodorising fluid feels because of the glycerin featured in the formula while the arrowroot also included does absorb excess moisture but still allows the armpits to sweat, but with no odour detected! You can also apply it between skin folds and even under breasts to prevent or neutralise body odour while for excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis, GoBo can be used under an antiperspirant deodorant to prevent odour and then can be reapplied throughout the day if needed. 

The GoBo natural aluminium free AHA deodorant is ideal for those wanting to detox and renew the underarm area or for those to looking to switch to a aluminium-free option.  Purchase and find out more here: GoBo Deodorant x Neil.

The rich base notes bring a depth and dimension to the scent by adding a warmth from the amber while the smoky vanilla is a key player throughout its wear.

Valentino Voce Viva Eau De Parfum.

Valentino Perfume
Discover the latest perfume Voce Viva launched by Valentino that is presented and will appeal to floral, woody, and musk wearers. The intimate and personal Eau De Parfum creates a scent that each individual can identify with by drawing a parallel between the sound of your voice and the scent of your fragrance, to celebrate every women's voice.  The outer box packaging cleverly uses the colour "Valentino Red" which is what the fashion house became widely recognised for throughout the world while it is also featured on the spray cap. 
Valentino Perfume
The VALENTINO VOCE VIVA bottle is visually stunning when presented at any angle because of its unique character design. The square glass bottle features Valentino in red letter branding on the front while the left and right side are precisely inverted in, to not only allow the wearer a secure holding when spraying but to also allow a v of light to emerge when light passes through the fragrance. Featured also is Valentinos renowned rock stud detailing that accompanies on the chrome bottle collar and cap that not only sets itself apart from any bottle in your own collection but to also remind you its a Valentino perfume, incase you forget. 
Cleverly incorporating its notes to bring a fragrance that does not ostracise or exclude because it allows the wearer to identify with it to make your own memories, the fragrance notes are as follows:

Top notes:  Mandarin Orange, Bergamot, and Ginger.

Middle notes of the florals: Orange Blossom and Gardenia.

Base Notes: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk, Sandalwood, Oakmoss.  
Valentino Perfume
On the first spray the citrus notes mandarin orange and bergamot greet the senses with a slight hint of the spicy ginger fleetingly making an appearance, before the white florals gardenia and sweet orange blossom arrive on the scene. The base notes all equally play a part in supporting this beautiful fragrance by supplying sweetness from the vanilla and tonka bean (both key players in this perfumes projection) while the musk brings a powdery note and the wood notes of sandalwood and oakmoss add depth and dimension.  Lasting many hours after the first spray, the sweet scent will entice your senses surprisingly at any moment to remind you how simplistic, but beautiful, this white floral, musk and woody fragrance wears when sprayed. Voce Viva Valentino is available in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml sizes x Neil.

Britney Spears Prerogative Fragrances.

Britney Spears Prerogative Fragrances.

scents
Discover the Britney Spears Prerogative fragrances that actually might take your senses by surprise when wearing any of the current three fragrances available. The three unisex fragrances are presented in flankers that are typically not your standard type bottle but this helps them to stand out individually from current perfumes in the shops and even in your own collection. Created in 2004, the britney spears fragrance line has grown in popularity due to the creative thoughtfulness put into each bottle design and the parfum it stores inside. 

Britney Spears Prerogative Eau de Parfum. 

scent
The first fragrance launched in 2018 from the Prerogative line, Prerogative opens with top notes pink pepper, goji berries and apricot nectar. The heart of the fragrance consists of red calla lily, latex petals, espresso foam and saffron while the supportive woody and warm base comes from the sandalwood and amber. Presented in a matte black bottle and spraying on to the pulse points where your body's heat will continue to emit any scent you apply, i was pleasantly surprised with prerogative's performance. Lasting throughout the day, my senses were reminded of apricot with hints of coffee while the warm depth of the base notes stops it from being too overly sweet.  

Britney Spears Prerogative Rave Eau de Parfum.

scent
The second fragrance launched in 2019 from the Prerogative line, Prerogative Rave opens with top notes of mandarin, williams pear, and raspberry while the heart of the fragrance consists of red calla lily, freesia and jasmine. The base notes sandalwood, cedar, cashmeran and musk support this fruity, woody, and floral fragrance. Presented in a silver metallic bottle with a pink spray cap your senses are greeted by the fruits before the florals start to make their appearance. The base notes support the fragrance by perfectly balancing it to stop it becoming too fruity or a light floral but the result is a perfect combination of the two, though there is a sweetness that lasts throughout the day. 

Britney Spears Prerogative Ego Eau de Parfum. 

scent
The third fragrance launched in 2020 from the Prerogative line, Prerogative ego combines a warm floral bouquet with sun-soaked woods and sensual ambers. Presented in a matte white bottle with a white spray cap i was unexpectedly taken by surprise with this scent because i was expecting it to overpower or overtake my senses, until i re-read the press release which states "envelopes the skin in a soft, irresistible glow". The florals are perfectly combined by the warmth of the amber that adds a seductive element to this soft and light skin scent that lingers closely for you to enjoy. 

All three of the Britney Spears Prerogative fragrances enchant the senses with their own unique identities which is what you want from an evolving fragrance line that you can pick and choose to suit your mood of the day, a special occasion, or wear all year round xNeil.

The New Tonino Lamborghini Men's Fragrance Lifestyle Collection.

The new Tonino Lamborghini Men's Fragrance Lifestyle Collection captures everything you want and expect from a mens fragrance house. Capturing the essence of the historic Lamborghini brand, they have extended their famous designs by featuring purposely angular cut glass bottles to remind you of their clean and sharp lines. The famous and iconic shield that includes the miura bull is also featured on each bottle whilst the signature colours red and black are included, along with the colours of yellow and blue to individualise each scent. Presenting four fragrances that represents Lamborghini with sophistication and luxury, each scent can be worn to reflect your lifestyle and the changing seasons. Disclaimer: The links in blue are not affiliated and are only used for you to discover the fragrances quicker.
The Tonino Lamborghini INTENSO Eau De Toilette for men features top notes of bergamot and apples, middles notes of Jasmin, lily of the valley and precious woods, whilst the base notes of sandalwood, musk, and amber greet you. Housed in a black bottle, the scent is easily recognisable with its featured red shield that is emblazoned on the front to distinguish itself from the others in the collection. Spraying onto the neck and wrists, the scent opens with spicy citrus, before the floral notes begin to appear, and then dries down to a balanced musk with slight warmth from the sandalwood and amber. I would suggest that INTENSO would appeal to anyone looking for a scent for daily wear and to apply before any special occasion or event. Purchase the gift set of INTENSO - Buy It Now.
The Tonino Lamborghini PRESTIGIO Eau De Toilette for men features top notes of Sicilian lemon and plums, middles notes of gardenia, violet leaves and velvety woods, whilst base notes of vanilla, musk, and sandalwood are included. Housed in a black bottle, the scent is easily recognised with a yellow shield featured on the front to help it stand-out from the others in the collection. Spraying on the neck and wrists, the scent opens with soft notes of fruits and florals but is supported by a masculine base of sandalwood with a slight hint of sweetness from vanilla. I would suggest this fragrance is for anyone looking for a daily scent that is not overpowering but is mysteriously unique. Purchase the gift set of PRESTIGIO - Buy It Now.
The Tonino Lamborghini SPORTIVO Eau De Toilette for men features top notes of lemon, grapefruit and apples, middle notes of Jasmin, gardenia, and lily of the valley, whilst base notes of musk and sandalwood are experienced. Housed in a red bottle, the scent is recognised with its silver embossed shield displaying perfectly to help it stand out from the other scents in the collection. Spraying onto the wrists and neck, the scent presents itself by opening with zingy lemon accompanied with slight fruity notes from the grapefruit and apples, whilst it is cleverly balanced by the florals and base notes to add dimension and depth. I would suggest this scent would appeal to anyone who enjoys citrus scents and who enjoys leading an active lifestyle to refresh the senses and spirit.
The Tonino Lamborghini ACQUA Eau De Toilette for men features top notes of lemon-lime and fougere, middle notes of velvety woods, Jasmin, and lily of the valley, whilst base notes of musk, sandalwood, vanilla and cedarwood are presented. Housed in a black bottle, the scent is easily recognised with its blue coloured shield that displays the fragrance to its finest. Spraying onto the wrists and neck, the scent opens strongly with its sharp citrus notes with the light florals making an appearance quickly after, before drying down to a slightly sweet woody scent. I would suggest this scent would appeal to anyone who likes green/woody fragrances because the fougere note does dominate the scent to bring woody, sharp, and sweet elements for a unique experience for the wearer and anyone standing near you.
I actually cant decided which Eau De Toilette i like out of the four because they each offer a unique scent when sprayed. Out of the four, the two stronger scents are INTENSO and ACQUA, whilst SPORTIVO and PRESTIGIO sit proudly into a category of their own. Fragrances are worn to reflect your own personality and also help to enhance your mood for any occasion's and settings daily life presents to you. The Tonino Lamborghini Men's Fragrance Lifestyle Collection easily achieves this by offering four fragrances that you can rotate to incorporate in your ever changing daily demands or you can simply wear your new signature scent from this luxury fragrance brand, x Neil.

Ethanol and the essential oils of Lavender, Lavandin, and Rosemary is the formulation.
It contains alpha-pinene x, dl-limonene (racemic), eucalyptol. linalool, caryophyllene.
