The Ultimate Tom Ford Lost Cherry Dupe (That Actualy Lasts All Day)

By Dave Wrench

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry is an absolutley stunning fragrance. The mix of black cherry, bitter almond, and tonka bean is a masterpiece. But there are two massive problems with it.

First, the price. They are asking nearly £300 for a 50ml bottle. In this economy? It's completley ridiculas.

Second, and this is the real kicker that no one wants to admit: The original doesn't even last that long! Anyone in the fraghead community will tell you that Lost Cherry is infamous for fading away after about 3 or 4 hours on the skin.

The Problem with Cheap Cherry Dupes

Because the original is so expensive, the UK search trends are going mad right now for a "Tom Ford Lost Cherry dupe". Everyone wants that incredible cherry-almond scent without having to remortgage their house.

But here is where people go wrong. They run to the high street and buy a £15 clone. Think about it logically mate... if the £300 designer version struggles to last on your skin, what do you think a watered-down £15 supermarket spray is going to do? It is going to vanish before you've even got in your car. Cheap cherry notes are notorious for burning off almost instantly.

Why Our Extrait Hits Different

This is where Alexandria Fragrances UK steps in. We knew that if we were going to make a premium alternative to Lost Cherry, we couldn't just copy the scent. We had to fix the performance issue.

We don't do weak Eau de Toilette sprays here in Newton-le-Willows. We craft our fragrances as Extrait de Parfum. By packing in up to 35% pure, premium perfume oils, we ensure those rich, boozy cherry and almond notes actually anchor to your skin. We use heavy, high-quality base notes like Peru Balsam and Sandalwood to trap that cherry sweetness so it projects for hours and hours.

Our creation is called Fructus Virginis.

When you wear Fructus Virginis, you aren't just getting a bargin. You are getting a richer, deeper, and far longer-lasting version of the scent profile you love. Three sprays of our Extrait will easily out-perform the original designer bottle.

Don't waste your money on weak cherry water. Get the beast mode version.
