Tom Ford
Lost Cherry EDP
“Cherry liqueur spilled on a velvet couch at 1am — and nobody's cleaning it up.”
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
