Tom Ford Lost Cherry

Tom Ford Lost Cherry is a unisex Eau de Parfum from 2018 that has become one of the most talked-about fragrances in modern perfumery. The concept is simple but executed brilliantly, take the sweet, slightly tart scent of ripe cherries and surround it with dark chocolate, warm spices, and creamy woods.

The result is a gourmand masterpiece that smells like the most decadent cherry dessert imaginable. The opening is an explosion of cherry in all its forms.

Black cherry, cherry liqueur, and bitter almond create a rich, boozy, slightly tart introduction that is immediately captivating. The cherry liqueur adds an almost alcoholic sweetness, like a glass of fine kirsch.

Bitter almond contributes a marzipan-like quality that complements the cherry perfectly. It is one of the most distinctive and recognizable openings in all of perfumery.

The heart deepens with sour cherry, plum, Turkish rose, and jasmine sambac. The sour cherry adds tartness that keeps the sweetness balanced and interesting.

Plum contributes a velvety, dark fruit richness. Turkish rose and jasmine sambac provide unexpected floral elegance that lifts the gourmand notes and adds sophistication.

Without these florals, Lost Cherry would be just a fruit scent, but with them, it becomes art. The base is complex and long-lasting with vanilla, tonka bean, cinnamon, Peru balsam, benzoin, sandalwood, cloves, cedar, patchouli, and vetiver.

The vanilla and tonka create creamy sweetness, cinnamon and cloves add warm spice, and the woods provide depth. Peru balsam and benzoin contribute balsamic warmth that makes the dry down feel rich and expensive.

Lost Cherry is a cool weather fragrance that excels in fall and winter, though its fans wear it year-round. It is perfect for evening wear and special occasions when you want to make a memorable impression.

Both men and women can pull this off beautifully.
