Summary
Summary
French Defense centers on dark cherry but keeps the fruit polished through florals and dry woods. Cherry leads the opening with violet leaves and chamomile adding green and aromatic contrast. Geranium, rose, and mimosa soften the middle without turning it into a full floral bouquet. Amber, cedarwood, and blonde woods create a warm, smooth base that gives the cherry more depth and staying power. It is best for shoppers who want a fruit-forward fragrance with a darker liqueur-like feel and a refined woody finish rather than a bright candy-cherry profile.
