If you’ve been following the latest beauty trends, you’ve probably noticed a recurring theme: black cherry is everywhere. From skincare to makeup to fragrance, this rich, deep berry hue is making its mark and the beauty world can’t get enough. Whether it’s the bold, seductive colour or the sophisticated vibe it brings, black cherry is fast becoming the shade of the season.
You could call us psychic because we did already report on this growing beauty trend back in December 2024. Pintrest’s Beauty Trend report explained that cherry coded cosmetics would take over this year.
The platform noted: “Dark, sweet and such a vibe. Gen-Z and Millennials will infuse cherries into their makeup, menus and mood boards this year.” As the year progresses, its clear that this true.

Well, its become a favourite because it often strikes the perfect balance between sweet and tart, offering a mixture that many other fruit-based fragrances lack. Unlike traditional cherry, which can sometimes lean too sweet, black cherry has a deeper, darker undertone – think ripe, juicy cherries with a hint of a smoky richness.
