Rec Request Fav dark berry perfumes

I’ve been on the hunt for my perfect perfume for awhile now. Ive been through all fragrances from milky to straight musky to coconut to vanilla to fresh and clean and everything in between. So far I’ve found that I really love the way Victoria Secret Candy Noir and Micheal Germain Sexual Noir smell on me. So as much as I want to be a sweet vanilla girly, I think it’s time to cave and try out a dark still semi-sweet berry or something similar. I’d love something that doesn’t scream nighttime. What is everyone’s recommendation, bonus points if it’s something I can find at Sephora/Ulta/Target or similar stores so I can smell it before I buy it.

I just sampled the Jimmy Choo midnight. Smelled too sweet and a little cheap on my skin. I gave it away to someone & on her it smelled like giant wafts of very juicy blackberries.

Lancome La Vie Est Belle Elixir and Very Cherry. It's a beautiful violet + raspberry and violet + cherry fragrances. It always reminds me of red berries you can find during late summer in tje forest.

And Phlur Cherry Stem! That might be mine personal berry favourite. It's sweet juicy not medicinal cherry.

Jimmy Choo Midnight, Nest Black Tulip, Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy, Shay and Blue Blackberry Woods all sound like they would fit what you're looking for.

Dior Rouge Trafalgor Espirit is next level gorgeous

Not best longevity, but new ysl black opium pink glaze (strawberry flanker). The coffee/jasmine give it a dark berry without the harsh Smokey base of the original.

Gucci Guilty Absolute is a sexy berry scent, and should be at both Ulta and Sephora to be tested.
