Updated Autumn 2026Eau de ParfumMethodology: note-pyramid analysis + community performance data + AdeGbe scoring model

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.

One Honest Warning

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.
