Lost Cherry by Tom Ford

This smells rich and sweet, like cherry juice with vanilla, but it gets a bit tiring to me. Even though it has vetiver and looks more masculine, I still feel it’s feminine. The downside is it doesn’t last or project well; it fades within hours with a weak trail. There’s a similar Armaf (Uniq) but with more punch. I wouldn’t recommend buying either without smelling them first. 🕉️🕉️🕉️

I bought a decant to see if it was worth it. It’s not bad, smells good, but for the price and hype, it lacks projection and longevity. After 4 hours, it’s just skin scent. Is it worth the investment? I don’t think so. There are other cherry and almond options with better longevity and price, like the Mayar Cherry.

I met this scent a year ago and it was my best discovery. I’ve smelled many perfumes and none have captivated me like this one. It’s simple and complex at the same time. I never thought cherry could smell anything other than synthetic, but here it smells like real cherry with almond, vanilla, and woods. It’s incredible, even if the price is very high. Maybe I should save up to treat myself.

Lost Cherry surprised me from the very first second. The opening is an explosion of acidic, juicy cherry, balanced and not cloying. It smells sophisticated and original. Then it evolves into soft, creamy vanilla mixed with warm woods. The contrast between sweet and wood is perfect. It’s elegant and different, totally recommended.

Sometimes I love it and other times I don’t feel like wearing it, but when I do, it’s my signature. It’s complex and well-balanced, a wonder that depends on my mood. Some say it smells like cherry balsam, others like cider or clean. It has shifting facets that tell a story: starts juicy, then aldehydic notes, plums and cherries, and finally a velvety Turkish rose. In the end, it’s sweet and spicy, with a hint of dirtiness that makes you feel like a lost cherry in a velvet suit. It reminds me of 90s pink and gold baths, touching up lipstick before seeing someone special. Intimate dinner, liquor, Portishead and Massive Attack music, an Alaïa coat, silk sheets, and him in his leather jacket. My footsteps on marble, wild but never vulgar embraces. My best blind buy.

I wanted to try it because I can’t find it in stores nearby and it’s always been hailed as the king of cherries. After trying it, I understand why it has good reviews: it smells great, like that sour cherry candy but with a fantastic boozy twist. Even though my nose isn’t very trained, I don’t find it childish; on the contrary, I see it as super sophisticated for going out at night. I wouldn’t buy it, though, because the longevity and sillage don’t justify the high price (on my skin, by 5 PM it barely smelled anything). It’s unisex, but I feel it’s more feminine.

My wife bought it for me, but since I was tired and hungry, I didn’t try it until the weekend at dinner. Boom! What a delight: it’s sweet, like chewing on a cherry from a cake with a boozy kick. It’s totally sensual, nothing for everyday wear, it provokes unexpected reactions, and it deserves the Tom Ford signature. Pure quality, what a gem! I give it a 9/10 as a first impression.

I love the smell of cherries, but other perfumes with this note used to disappoint me: they seemed girly, like air freshener or syrup. But here it’s different; Lost Cherry is special. It smells of well-combined boozy almonds with sour cherry and plum that sound amazing on my skin. It’s not for everyone or every occasion, I ordered decants of several and will definitely buy the big bottle. Always test on fabric, blotting paper, and skin before buying to save money.

I tried it yesterday and loved it. The opening literally smells like cherries, the fruit as if you were tasting it; at first it’s fresh, after 15 minutes it turns into boozy cherry, then the almond appears which, with the resins, gives a honeyed touch. It lasted 4 hours on my arm, I’m not sure if it leaves a trail, but my husband liked it a lot. I want to have it in my collection because it’s off the beaten path, it’s peculiar, and that fascinates me since I hate the generic ones.

It smells like Nivea’s Blackberry Shine, lol, exactly the same.

Many people smell alcohol or medicine in it; it holds a special place in my collection for being the most criticized and despised.

At first, it smells like maraschino cherries, a bit irritating, but once it dries down, it becomes sweet and very pleasant to the nose.

Very good perfume; it’s one of the few unisex ones I like because most are feminine. It smells like cherry liqueur; for us in Chile, it’s similar to ‘enguindado’ but finer and with riper cherries. The cherry is present all the time and projects well. It feels elegant, though I think it’s for parties or bars, not for everyday wear. The only issue is that its value is too high for a fruity aroma without complex notes to justify it.

Friends, the perfume opens with natural maraschino cherries in syrup, a delicate cocktail cherry, a delicious macerated cherry of top quality and nothing synthetic. It maintains a trail of 2 meters for 2 hours, then fades but you still feel it in your personal bubble, although you need to reapply after 4 hours. Delicious, refined, and entertaining; it makes you want to smell it all the time, but it’s very expensive for the size of the bottle, which is beautiful; these Tom Ford potions seem like magic.

It smells like medicine; I don’t recommend buying it blind. Scent 6.5/10, Projection 7/10, Longevity 7/10.
