Shopping Writer Meghan has branched out, wearing another cherry-scented perfume that she says had ‘everyone asking what it was called and where it was from – I got so many compliments’
The last fragrance I took for a spin was Sabrina Carpenter’s Cherry Baby perfume, which I wrote about here. That fragrance got me many compliments when I wore it out, and it featured notes I could smell. So when I found this cherry-scented perfume, I figured it would be worth trying – and I’m so glad I did.
As I’ve said before, I don’t have a brilliant sense of smell, so finding and liking a perfume can be difficult. There are some scents I can recognise and know I like, so I’ve found a handful of fragrances over the years that I’ve turned back to repeatedly because I know they smell great. But over the last few months, I’ve been branching out and trying various new scents.
The fragrance is the Cherry Fiesta from Who Is Elijah, currently available from Boots. A predominantly cherry-focused scent, this perfume had so many people, from bar staff to strangers to my friends, asking me what scent I was wearing and where they could buy their own.

Touted as a vibrant and unique, playful yet sophisticated scent, this Cherry Fiesta is described as transporting the wearer to dancing on tables in Mykonos with a cocktail in your hand—and it definitely invokes that imagery; I can’t wait to take it with me on my Greek vacation this summer.
A fragrance set to deliver a playful indulgence and seductive freedom, with bright, bold, and decadently irresistible notes that make a statement that won’t be ignored, and from my experience wearing it out, it definitely draws attention.
My new favourite fragrance opens with a sharp burst of mandarin and pear, teasing the senses with a touch of anise for a flirtatious and opulent layer that delves deeper into a heart of white florals and ripe cherry, creating an addictive, sultry blend that is sweet yet daring, innocent yet tempting.
The scent that pulls people in closes with accords of creamy vanilla and benzoin, which create a magic finish that wraps around you like liquid velvet. The fragrance also boasts green patchouli, which cuts through the sweet and fruity core with an earthy, rebellious edge.
Set to inspire notes of decadence, the sensual and unforgettable perfume has quickly become a top pick on my vanity. Many people have been quick to say they’ll be buying their own after I clued them in on the scent that seemingly had crowds addicted all weekend.
Retailing for £105 for 100ml from Boots, shoppers keen to join me in loving this new cherry-scented marvel can also pick up 50ml for £80 from Cosmetify or for £118 from Free People. For more cherry fragrance recommendations, check out my review of Sabrina Carpenter’s Cherry Baby here.
