A long shot

The review

Cherry Defense scores 3.5 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing French Defense.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is French Defense's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is $83 per 100ml.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
