Tom Ford

Lost Cherry EDP

2018

Cherry liqueur spilled on a velvet couch at 1am — and nobody's cleaning it up.

Lost Cherry
cherry
sweet
almond

Black cherry, cherry liqueur, and bitter almond at the top; griotte, rose, and jasmine at the heart; tonka, Peru balsam, and sandalwood at the base. Louise Turner's 2018 Tom Ford Private Blend release — widely credited with launching the modern cherry-gourmand category. Performs strongest in fall and winter, leans evening, lasts 8–10 hours with strong projection.

The take

What works

  • Black cherry and almond accord is lush, instantly memorable, genuinely gorgeous
  • Unisex in a way that flatters both — not just a marketing claim
  • Outstanding evening and cold-weather presence

Trade-offs

  • Price is aggressively high even by TF Private Blend standards
  • Gourmand-forward structure limits versatility outside evening wear
