Somebody must have lost the cherry...

The title is actually as ambiguous as it sounds.

Without a doubt, Lost Cherry is an unusual, delicious, almost gourmand, yet fruity fragrance. I immediately fell in love with him and was even more happy that I got him as a present for my birthday this year. Nevertheless, I find the name so wrong that it is actually right again. Because in my opinion, the cherry only plays second fiddle here. For my taste (more exactly: my nose) the bitter almond dominates here clearly.
Now I have to say that due to my experiences in various chemical laboratories in the past I react a little sensitive to bitter almond aroma (the poisonous and carcinogenic chemical nitrobenzene smells totally delicious after bitter almonds - which ruined my enjoyment of a glass of Amaretto for some years).
As I said, it may be due to my hypersensitivity to the aroma of bitter almonds, so for me the cherry, although present, is a little lost.
However, this does not diminish the uniqueness of this beautiful composition.
Perhaps they could be seen as a reminiscence of the time when our grandmothers in robes sipped a glass of cherry liqueur or amaretto over afternoon coffee. Not that my grandmother (she had an agricultural farm) would have done this, but the performance is simply beautiful ;-)

The fragrance has an overall long shelf life, which is in line with the price segment. What is a pity for me personally is that as soon as I have applied the scent, I no longer smell it on myself at all. With other fragrances it is usually the case that they say "hello" again and again during the day, but the lost cherry is always lost on the way to my nose. Is anyone else going to do it like this?
Despite everything I would let him give me at any time again ;-)

My case was not the Lost Cherry, but my wife found a long-winded replacement in Dua's Popped Cherry. It is still clearly perceptible even after a few hours.

I have had the exact same thing happen with this scent! I bought without testing and after a burst of almond on first spray literally a minute later....NOTHING!
TF frags are usually so potent, wish I had tested before spending nearly £200 on a perfume I can’t even smell :(

Nice comment. The scent is too liqueurish for me.

Very beautiful, very vividly written. If you are a friend of cherries, try "L'Homme Ideal (Eau de Parfum)" from Guerlain. Here the pome fruit plays a much more dominant role ;)
