Lost Cherry by Tom Ford
Amber Floral
Louise Turner
Black Orchid, Velvet Orchid, Tobacco Vanille. Lost Cherry is another love by Tom Ford. Yes, the price is totally ridiculous and we all know it; nevertheless, there is something exquisite about Tom Ford’s perfumery. The scents are daring and wild yet soft and wearer-friendly 🙂 If that’s a word. I don’t know how he does it. Lost Cherry fits right in what makes her another treasure, a shiny “diamonte”.
The fragrance is dark, sensual and delicious. Losing cherry implies losing one’s innocence in a sexual context. The aroma is creamy and fluffy thus many people associate Lost Cherry with fall and winter. I think she makes you a star all year round, during the day and the evening.
Yes, the rumour is true, longevity is crappy but what can we do. Just moisturise your skin before application, spray a lot and start saving for another bottle of Lost Cherry 🙂
So, without all the hype and nice talk, how does it actually smell? The opening is dark cherry, almond and booze. The liquor is sweet and intoxicating. Have you ever drunk Griotte? This is it. Mouthwatering! The mid is more youthful with candy or bubblegum-like cherry and a bunch of florals. It dries to warm, sugarcoated almonds. Powdery almonds. Almost cologne-like concentration, skin scent. And then is officially off. You can see my frustration. Oh well. It is difficult to make a cherry-centric fragrance last. That we know also.
It is a masterpiece anyway. There is nothing like it. Mature, boozy cherry. Lovely on women as well as men. I can’t wait to try Smoke and Electric Cherry. Yummy!
