Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
Dark cherry is the star of this stain-and-gloss duo, a buildable color where the tiniest bit goes a long way, and fans of the classic Benetint like the modern revamp. The catches: the gloss runs out before the stain, dry patches can grab the color, and the rose fragrance is one some would happily skip. Dot it on, smudge it out, and let it sit to build.
