This fragrance is a decadent plunge into the sweet and the dark. For Tom Ford Lost Cherry, I have used a "Luscious, Sophisticated, and Provocative" tone to match its reputation as one of the most famous and daring scents in the Private Blend collection.

Tom Ford Lost Cherry

Target: Unisex | Character: Tempting, Gourmand, and Opulent

A Journey Into the Forbidden

Lost Cherry is more than just a fragrance; it is a full-bodied journey into a forbidden territory of scent. Launched by the house of Tom Ford in 2018, it reveals a seductive dichotomy: a playful, candy-like glint on the outside, and a lush, succulent flesh on the inside. It is where innocence crosses paths with indulgence, creating a contrast that is as intellectual as it is sensory.

As a high-end unisex perfume, Lost Cherry has achieved cult status for its unconventional blend of oriental and floral notes. It is a scent for those who command attention and appreciate the finer, more provocative things in life.

A Rich and Contrasting Olfactory Pyramid

The fragrance is built on layers of dark fruit and warm spices, creating a "liquefied" effect on the skin:

• The Opening (Top Notes): The journey begins with the perfection of Black Cherry dripping in a thick Cherry Liqueur. A touch of Bitter Almond provides a sophisticated edge, mimicking the scent of a crushed cherry pit.

• The Heart (Middle Notes): The scent explodes into waves of sweetness. The cherry notes continue, now flooding a breathtaking floral heart of Turkish Rose and Jasmine Sambac. The addition of Plum adds a dark, jammy depth that penetrates the senses.

• The Signature (Base Notes): A warm, woody melange. Peruvian Balsam and Roasted Tonka Bean provide a creamy richness, while Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Cedar ground the fragrance. A final decoration of Cinnamon, Vanilla, Cloves, and Patchouli leaves a spicy, lingering trail.

Why Lost Cherry is a Modern Masterpiece

• The Master of Gourmands: It redefined what a fruity fragrance could be—moving away from "simple and sweet" toward something deep, boozy, and incredibly mature.

• The Iconic Red Flacon: The bottle features a luscious, translucent cherry-red interior that looks like a piece of high-fashion candy on your vanity.

• Complex Versatility: While it is undeniably sweet, the heavy spices and woody base make it equally attractive and commanding on both men and women.

• Winter Perfection: The warmth of the liqueur and cinnamon makes it an extraordinary choice for cold weather and intimate evening settings.

Expert Tip

Lost Cherry is a "dense" fragrance that performs beautifully when layered with natural body heat. To keep the bright cherry notes alive longer, apply it to pulse points like the wrists and neck, and consider misting your clothing—the fabric will hold onto the spicy vanilla and cinnamon base for days. It is a scent that rewards those who dare to lean into its intoxicating sweetness.
