Tom Ford Lost Cherry was released in 2018 as part of the Private Blend line of fragrances. Described as candy over luscious flesh - innocence and indulgence. Opening with a big cherry and almond burst, slightly medicinal, and the base of balsams and woods tampers down the brashness of that open and turns into a complex perfume you weren't expecting! If you like Serge Lutens Feminite du Bois, you will probably like this.
Tom Ford Lost Cherry has notes of black cherry, cherry liqueur, bitter almond, griotte sirup, turkish rose, jasmine sambac, peru balsam, roasted tonka, sandalwood, vetiver and cedar.
From Bois de Jasmin - "It opens on a bright accord of fresh sour cherries, but it darkens almost instantly to woods and burnished spices. The cocktail of rose, jasmine, sandalwood, and a beautiful note of salty vetiver balance out the gourmand decadence of the fruit. Imagine the scents of pipe tobacco and aged Scotch, stewed plums with star anise and roasted almonds. Imagine their sweetness being removed, leaving behind just the intensity and warmth."
From Kafkaesque - "Lost Cherry opens on my skin with a blast of sugar and sugared musk lying like a white lacy veil over a brimming bowl of dark cherries. The cherries are black and rubied, sticky, juicy, and succulent. A tiny whisper of tartness quickly appears under them, a nod to the Griotte semi-sour varietal. It’s followed by an equally elusive whisper of greenness and woodiness, much like a singular, budding sprig of green and the woody stem of the actual fruit." (just go read the entire review, it has so much detail!)
From the Cut - "Maybe the scent was inspired by a time when Tom Ford lost a batch of Bing cherries on his way from the grocery store and stood outside his New Mexico home smoking a single Gitane, trying to mentally retrace his steps. Or maybe it smells like a rite of passage, after all." P
Perfume Posse - "Ultimately, I have decided the Lost Cherry represents the entire trajectory of memory – something sharply memorable, unforgettable that may not be all that happy or great – though it could have parts of that – but it is something you love(d) with silliness – like cherries! – and it always fades, sharp edges lost in the mists of time and forever re-shaped by memory’s untrustworthy razor. You lose so much of the present’s vivid juiciness – and also its harshness and pain – and that makes the softer, rounder, fuzzier memory so much better. So. Yeah. Genius."

I could talk about notes and longevity but lets be real...Who even gets half that stuff? Does this smell fantastic? Yes. Will you smell like anyone else? No. Do I understand what happens when this magical potion says hello to my skin and warms up? Nope. Do I feel sexy and fierce when I wear it? Yes. Yes I do. Well played Tom Ford. Well played.
Lovely scent, unfortunately doesn't last long at all.

If you want to smell like pie... I sure do. It's so yummy and sweet but not sugary or mouth-watering. TRY IT!
I seem to be one of the few who get NO cherry. I was hit with a blast of tobacco that lasted about 10 minutes before it mellowed. Then I smelled something faint that may or may not have been cherry. After 20 minutes everything was gone.
This is a costly scent - but worth it. Sensual and subtle. Beautiful.
