Lost Cherry
A decadent, dark, full-bodied fragrance capturing the dual scent profile of sweet cherry syrup, bitter almonds, and warm, resinous woody dry-downs.
Lost Cherry opens on Black Cherry and Cherry Liqueur, moves through Griotte Syrup and Turkish Rose, and dries down to Peru Balsam and Roasted Tonka Bean. At $250 - $395 it is firmly luxury pricing that demands you love the profile first, with moderate (4h - 6h) on skin. Reasonably safe to blind buy if the note list appeals to you.

EXPERT ANALYSIS, COMPOSITION & PERFORMANCE
Composed by Louise Turner for Tom Ford in 2018, Lost Cherry sits in the juicy fruit space of modern perfumery. Below, our research team breaks down its olfactory structure, measured performance, and ideal wearer.
The Opening
It opens on Black Cherry, Cherry Liqueur, Bitter Almond, a juicy fruit and sweet gourmand introduction that sets expectations before the heart emerges.
The Heart
Beneath the opening, a floral heart of Griotte Syrup, Turkish Rose, Jasmine Sambac forms the signature most people will recognise.
The Dry-Down
The dry-down anchors on a dry woods and sweet gourmand base of Peru Balsam, Roasted Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, the phase that clings closest to skin and lasts longest.
Who Should Buy Lost Cherry
Lost Cherry leans feminine but is wearable by anyone who enjoys the style. Its season vector points strongest to autumn, and its day/night balance makes it best suited to evening wear and going out. If you gravitate toward juicy fruit and floral compositions and want a more moderate, easy-going wear, it belongs on your shortlist.
No major red flags in the composition, but fragrance is personal, skin chemistry can shift the balance of notes, so a sample wear is always wiser than a blind purchase at this price.
