Lost Cherry is Tom Ford's boozy black-cherry-and-almond gourmand — the bottle that kicked off the entire cherry-fragrance craze — and at $250-plus, one of the most-cloned scents in perfumery. Its liqueur-soaked cherry-almond accord copies unusually well, so the best dupes get genuinely close. Below are the 3 worth owning: the classic Arabian clone, the Grasse-made refined one, and the drugstore cherry you can find anywhere.

Quick Picks — Our Top 3

Lovely Chèrie

Maison AlhambraEDP

Bitter almond and black cherry over tonka and toffee — the velvety, boozy heart of Lost Cherry for the price of a cocktail.
Lovely Chèrie

Lovely Chèrie is the bottle the whole cherry-clone conversation keeps coming back to. It opens on bitter almond and black cherry — that same glossy, liqueur-soaked fruit that made Lost Cherry a phenomenon — then sinks into tonka, toffee, and a soft rosy warmth. It's rich, boozy, and a little decadent: the cherry-on-velvet feeling intact for a fraction of the Tom Ford price.

The catch is patience — fresh from the box it's soft, and it genuinely blooms after a few weeks of maceration and in cold air. At $22–$40 that's an easy wait. If Lost Cherry is the bottle you keep talking yourself out of, this is the closest cheap way in. See the full breakdown.

Ambery Cherry

DossierEDP

Dossier's Lost Cherry riff — candied cherry and almond over cinnamon, tonka, and vanilla, sweet and boozy in the gourmand-cherry mold.
Ambery Cherry

If Lovely Chèrie is the crowd favorite, Ambery Cherry is the connoisseur's pick. It's Dossier's official Lost Cherry interpretation, blended in Grasse, and it's the tightest note-for-note match here — candied cherry and almond up top, then plum, clove, and a whisper of rose over tonka, vanilla, and Peru balsam. The materials read cleaner and more polished than the budget clones, and it never tips into cough-syrup territory.

It comes only in the smaller 1.7oz bottle at $35–$80, and it's a shade more restrained than the boozy original — but it's the best-behaved cherry gourmand on this list, the one to reach for if you want Lost Cherry's composure rather than its volume. See the full breakdown.

Not Another Cherry

Fine'ryEDP

Maraschino cherry and almond amaretto over a rosy sweetness — the fun, affordable cherry gourmand you can grab at the drugstore.
Not Another Cherry

Not Another Cherry is the one you can grab on a drugstore run. Fine'ry built it around maraschino cherry, almond amaretto, and a rosy sweetness — the fun, top-half read of Lost Cherry, lighter and more playful than the Arabian clones. It's sweet and immediately likeable, the cherry gourmand you spray without thinking twice.

It's lighter and sweeter than the original and it fades faster — closer to a rich body mist than a beast — so treat it as the easy everyday option. At $20–$50, sold everywhere from Target to Amazon, it's the no-hunting, no-maceration way to wear the cherry. See the full breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Tom Ford Lost Cherry dupe?

Maison Alhambra Lovely Chèrie is the closest cheap one — the same boozy black-cherry-and-almond heart for around $24. Dossier Ambery Cherry is the tightest, most refined match (Grasse-made, around $47), and Fine'ry Not Another Cherry is the lightest and most affordable at drugstore prices. Start with Lovely Chèrie.

What smells like Lost Cherry but cheaper?

All three picks here reproduce Lost Cherry's cherry-liqueur-and-almond signature for a fraction of the $250 original. Lovely Chèrie and Dossier Ambery Cherry are the closest, boozier matches; Fine'ry Not Another Cherry captures the sweeter, fruitier top for the least money, though it's lighter and shorter-lived.

Is Dossier Ambery Cherry a good Lost Cherry dupe?

It's the tightest note-for-note match on this list — Dossier's official Lost Cherry interpretation, blended in Grasse with cleaner materials than the marketplace clones. Candied cherry, almond, plum, and clove over tonka and vanilla, polished and never cloying. The tradeoff is the smaller 1.7oz bottle and a slightly more restrained feel than the original.

Are Lost Cherry dupes worth it?

Yes — Lost Cherry runs $250 to $470 depending on size, and its cherry-almond-liqueur accord copies unusually well. Maison Alhambra Lovely Chèrie gets genuinely close for around $24. You give up some density, refinement, and longevity, but for a scent this distinctive and recognizable, the budget versions land the impression.
