Description
“January of 2017 sees the release of the first in a new series by Ikiryo called the “These Three” series. Each package contains 3 different fragrances in 10 ml bottles. Each one will also be represented by historical figures, whom will also tie into the theme of each prospective “These Three” the release.
The inaugural release, “These Sinful Three” features fragrances which will contain (among others) notes of “grown-up vices”. “Vanilla Opi-oud” (represented by Lucrezia Borgia) features opium and amaretto, “Blood Cherry Cordial” (represented by Elizabeth Bathory) features cognac and “AppleRum and Jasmine” (represented by Anita Berber) features rum” — press release of the brand. The nose behind this fragrance is Vincent of Dreamhouse.

As a primer to this collection, I strongly believe that the artistic expression here was something more along the lines of “These Three Stank A** H**s”. As in a collection of fragrances that represent one of three call girls, each of which whom possess a distinctly undesirable feature about them. The artistic expression then places you as the recipient, whom after having paid in-full upfront now has to figure out what to do with their unpleasant company.
Upon my initial impression, I would suggest that the unpleasant attribute of our lady Blood Cherry Cordial would be a dumb p**** that’s super loose. The fragrance is considerably sweet with the chocolate and cherry, but the notes are very poorly supported, with seemingly no surrounding elements whatsoever to add any depth, complexity, texture, or dynamic stimulation to them. The aroma is so simple, that it’s demotivational, and leaves you feeling very ripped off.
Very natural chocolate note here too, which I’m personally not a fan of. I can’t image anyone would be able to actually enjoy this for very long. It fails on both the naturalist front and the minimalist front as well—impossible to respectably identify as either style with dignity.

I bought myself a These Sinful Three collection specifically for this perfume, and it hasn’t disappointed me.
The heady, delicious chocolate is sweet enough to give you cavities. Beautifully blended with syrupy cherry, it almost crosses from scent to flavor in uncannily delicious intensity.
On my skin, the grown up candy notes took center stage for several hours, with the base of sexy, honeyed musk slowly coming forward to a warm, long lasting dry down.
There’s something very witchy and inviting about this scent- I swear that Vincent is working some kind of magic here, and I never want it to stop.
The complexity of this scent will probably appeal to you if you like Angel, or other delicious gourmands blended with non-food elements in a successful way.
I’ve received tons of compliments on this, and it seems to last forever. I put it on in the morning, and I can still smell it at bedtime.

I’m obsessed with the history of Elizabeth Bathory and the imagery and art behind this; but cherries, vanilla and cacao? I’ll just save the money and wear my Paco Rabanne Black XS for Her or one of my other “dark” cherry scented fruity florals. Even the cheapie Body Fantasies Vampire’s notes sound more interesting. Since when do cherries = blood? Give me something slightly metallic at least!
