Tom Ford Lost Cherry EDP

Description

A juicy black-cherry liqueur wrapped in almond, rose, and warm spice. Tom Ford Lost Cherry is the 2018 Private Blend release composed by Givaudan perfumer Louise Turner. It opens on a hyper-realistic candied cherry and bitter almond, think maraschino and cherry cordial, before turning rosier and more grown-up as Turkish rose, jasmine, and a tonka-vanilla-balsam base lend it depth. Reviewers describe it as playful yet sensual: a candy-flavored cocktail with an adult finish, equally at home on men and women.

Scent Character

Performance

• Longevity: Moderate and somewhat variable. Most wearers report 4–8 hours. The cherry-almond opening can fade faster than the warm base, so longevity depends a lot on skin chemistry.
• Sillage: Moderate to strong in the first hour, with a sweet, noticeable trail before it settles closer to the skin.
• Projection: 2–3 feet early on, easing to arm's-length as the tonka-balsam drydown takes over.

Best Occasions & Season

• Season: Fall and Winter. Its sweetness and warmth shine in cooler weather.
• Occasions: Evening and Night Out; date nights, dinners, parties.
• Gender: Unisex, designed and widely worn as genderless.
• Skip for: Hot summer days and conservative office settings where its candied sweetness can read loud.

FAQ

Is Lost Cherry for men or women? It's unisex, part of Tom Ford's genderless Private Blend line and widely worn by everyone.

How long does it last? Moderate and skin-dependent, typically 4–8 hours. The bright cherry opening can fade faster than the warm tonka-balsam base, so we recommend sampling to see how it performs on you.

What does it smell like? A realistic black-cherry liqueur with bitter almond, rose and jasmine, drying down to sweet tonka, balsam and creamy woods. Playful but sophisticated.

Why try a decant first? Because longevity varies by skin and the scent is polarizing, a 1mL or 5mL decant is the low-risk way to confirm Lost Cherry works for you before buying a full bottle.
