How Lost Cherry smells — the notes, top to base

The opening is unmistakable: plump, glossy black cherry drizzled in cherry liqueur, so juicy and syrupy it almost smells edible. Within minutes a striking contrast appears — bitter almond and a boozy, marzipan-like richness cut through the sweetness and stop it from becoming sugary. At the heart, a soft Turkish rose and jasmine add a plush, slightly jammy floral depth that keeps the fruit from feeling one-dimensional. The base is pure comfort: roasted tonka bean, creamy sandalwood, vanilla and a touch of vetiver and cedar give a warm, woody-gourmand landing that hums against the skin. In short, it is a boozy cherry-and-almond dessert wrapped in warm woods — sweet, but with a grown-up, liqueur-soaked edge.

Longevity & sillage (what to expect)

Rich gourmands like this one tend to perform strongly, and the tonka-vanilla-sandalwood base does most of the heavy lifting. At Eau de Parfum strength you can expect eight hours or more on skin, with the sweet, almondy drydown clinging to clothing well beyond that. Sillage is generous in the first few hours — this is a fragrance people notice — before it mellows into a cosy, close-wearing warmth. Because it is potent and sweet, restraint is wise: one or two sprays gives plenty of presence, and over-application can tip it from decadent to cloying in a warm room.

When & where to wear it

This is an evening and cold-weather scent at heart. Its boozy sweetness and woody warmth come alive in autumn and winter, making it ideal for dinners, dates, parties and nights out where a memorable trail is welcome. It is bold and unapologetically noticeable, so it suits occasions where you want to make an impression rather than blend into a quiet office. On a chilly evening it feels like a warm, sweet embrace; in high summer heat it can read a little heavy, so save it for cooler days.

How our No. 414 inspired version compares

Our No. 414 is an honest interpretation of that boozy cherry-almond gourmand signature — not the original, and in no way affiliated with Tom Ford. We aim to capture the same overall character: the juicy black-cherry-and-liqueur opening, the bitter-almond and rose heart, and the warm tonka-vanilla-sandalwood base. Blended and bottled in the UK, vegan and cruelty-free, it is offered at Eau de Parfum strength, with a 5ml sample from £4.95 the low-risk way to try the accord on your own skin before committing to a full 100ml bottle.
