Here we have Aaron's response to the very well-known Lost Cherry by TF.
In stark contrast to the original, Aaron takes a different approach to implement the idea and makes the scent significantly better for me.
The fragrance starts with a very lovely and authentic, ripe cherry. While the TF scent is more reminiscent of a synthetic maraschino cherry or a sweet cherry juice, the Raw Cherry is much less shrill and rather darker and more subdued... more authentic.
The alcoholic note in Lost Cherry has always made me think of Amaretto in connection with the bitter almond. In this fragrance, it's more of a pleasantly sweet cherry liqueur that soon blends with chocolate. Almost a modern and very high-quality Mon Cheri?
You actually don't smell the oud and the rose, but what stands out is that this scent is significantly more niche than Lost Cherry and also leans more towards a masculine direction. The fragrance is much darker and more authentic compared to LC, while also being sweet and tempting.
Deep down, there it is, the Amaretto :D But even here it's more subdued and totally pleasant.
The scent is strong without being intrusive. It is more mature than Lost Cherry and can therefore be worn for occasions or in a professional setting. It's simply "uplifted".
The longevity of this fragrance is extremely good, typical for ATH.
The new bottle, adorned with Swarovski stones, is truly eye-catching, and the sprayer... you just have to try it. Nothing comes close.
I like it very, very much and I've often been close to buying the fragrance... but I'm just not the type for cherry scents at the moment. As an alternative, I went for the Baraonda by Nasomatto.
However, anyone who loves cherry scents should definitely test this wonderful fragrance here! :)
