Love The Virgin Cherry Fruit: Historic, Seductive, and Scented

Who would have thought that King Henry VIII, a man more famous for his wives than his whims, would inadvertently lead us to lose our virginity? Yet, in a twist of historical irony, his royal penchant for cherries has done just that. When the king imported the fruit into Britain, he couldn’t have imagined that centuries later, the term “cherry” would evolve from an innocent, juicy fruit to a cheeky metaphor for something far more intimate.

But that’s the magic of cherries: they’re as multifaceted as they are flavourful, symbolising everything from purity to passion, from fleeting beauty in Japanese cherry blossoms to the nostalgic aroma of cherry-scented brandy. And now, this complex, evocative fruit finds its ultimate expression in a fragrance that captures all its sweet, sensual, and surprisingly historical layers.

Beyond their sensual symbolism, cherries have their quirks. Did you know that cherry pits have been used as a secret ingredient in certain liquors, adding an almond-like depth to the flavour? Or that in ancient Rome, soldiers would carry cherry wood as a good luck charm on their conquests, believing it would bring them victory in battle? Even more curiously, cherry trees can produce a chemical defence against insects, releasing a substance that smells like almonds when under attack. This fruit, so seemingly simple, hides a world of fascinating secrets beneath its glossy skin, much like the layers of our new fragrance—a scent as intriguing as the cherry itself.

And if you think cherries are only grounded in tradition, think again. In a surprising twist, NASA sent cherry trees to space as part of an experiment to understand how plants grow in zero gravity. These “space cherries” grew faster and bloomed earlier than expected, defying the norms of their Earth-bound counterparts. The experiment revealed that the unique conditions of space could accelerate growth, leading to cherry blossoms blooming in record time. This unexpected phenomenon added another layer of intrigue to the cherry’s already rich history, proving that even in the vast unknown of space, this little fruit continues to surprise us.

From royal orchards to the far reaches of outer space, cherries have transcended their humble origins, becoming symbols of both tradition and innovation. Whether evoking the delicate scent of cherry blossoms or the sweetness of ripe fruit, this fragrance captures the essence of a cherry’s journey—a scent that’s as groundbreaking as it is timeless, blending the mysteries of the cosmos with the nostalgia of Earth.

For Koreans, cherries are seen as a symbol of purity and beauty. They have also been used in Korean pop culture, particularly in K-dramas, to represent true love. The color red, often associated with cherries, holds special significance in traditional Korean weddings and celebrations, symbolising vitality and joy. In Korean, cherry blossoms are known as Beotkkot, embodying both the elegance and transience of life.

This rich cultural tapestry is the inspiration behind Born to Stand Out, a true Korean niche luxury perfumery brand. With a commitment to unique and original fragrances, this brand merges modern design with a deep respect for history and an avant-garde ethos. Born to Stand Out invites you to abandon cheap standards and discover the real you—through scents that defy convention and celebrate individuality.

Born to Stand Out was born in Seoul, South Korea, in the city’s most eccentric and lively area: Itaewon Street. Known as an international hub, Itaewon is a place where diverse nationalities and cultures converge. Its global village history can be traced back to the 1970s when many foreigners settled near Itaewon after the US military base was established in South Korea. The area gained worldwide recognition after the Asian Games in 1986 and the Seoul Olympics in 1988.

Famous for its modern artworks, Born to Stand Out transmuted its unmistakable style into an innovative, unique collection of perfumes. These fragrances aim to subvert the standard to which we are accustomed, allowing us to fully explore our individuality. The result is a collection of original and surprising fragrances that transport anyone who smells them into a sensory universe that is both overwhelming and exhilarating, destroying the reference systems of traditional perfumes and reconstructing them in unexpected ways.

The bottle of Born to Stand Out fragrances is a work of art in itself, reflecting the brand’s objective to blend tradition with modernity. It reinterprets Joseon porcelain, specifically Joseon baekja—the white porcelains produced during the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910). This nod to history, combined with a forward-looking design, encapsulates the essence of Born to Stand Out: a brand that honours the past while boldly embracing the future.
