Delicious cherry gourmand, but not a good cherry smoke dupe
All in all, a delicious gourmand with a cherry theme. I smell predominantly sweet cherry, incense, saffron and marzipan. The fragrance is very different, darker, more masculine than Lost Cherry, but can certainly be worn by women just as easily due to its sweetness.
The question I'm sure many are asking is whether 1505 is similar to Cherry Smoke. I've seen reviews on YouTube comparing it to Cherry Smoke and I have to disagree, as far as I can tell with my slowly fading memory of Cherry Smoke. The Cherry Smoke is classically smoky in my memory (no incense) and this smoky note is more clearly differentiated from a differently composed cherry, as is recognizable in many expensive fragrances. In contrast to the CS, the 1505 clearly bears the Arabian signature that we already know from many Lattafas, is sweeter and also smells of marzipan to me, which I can't remember in the Cherry Smoke.
The longevity and sillage are very decent, the square bottle, which I don't like, is certainly a matter of taste, but I think it's quite pretty with the clock and quite detailed.
Conclusion: If you were hoping for a dupe, whether of Cherry Smoke or Lost Cherry, I would advise against it. But if you are looking for a rather sweet, oriental cherry gourmand with incense, this fragrance could be something for you. Whether I will buy it with the very present marzipan note is questionable, but overall it is a beautiful fragrance. It's just a shame that many of the good Lattafas are now simply being marketed under Lattafa Pride, so that you have to spend considerably more on fragrances that were previously available from Lattafa in comparable quality. When it comes to fragrances that approach designer prices, I'm actually out, because we know that the fragrances are produced cheaply.

Cherry Smoke has the Wrigleys Cinnamon effect, 1505 is sweeter, more marzipany (unfortunately also very chemical and soon just a mishmash). But I can only smell the difference in a direct comparison on the test strip, under my nose (except for the chemical)
My recollection is that it wasn't in Cherry Smoke in that form, but as described in the review, it's been a while.
That's what other cherry fragrances are for.
And the fact that Lataffa has brought out a dupe for TF here is actually also clear.
The House of Commons has already done that.
No offense meant, but IHMO it's headlines like this that create rumors of this kind
Because someone then interprets it as a dupe to Lost Cherry.
No offense meant. Maybe I'm wrong about that too.
I personally can smell marzipan. Not as much as in Lost Cherry, but there is at least something in that direction. My nose may just be interpreting it that way, but it is a bit kitschy. By the way: Lattafa sometimes releases 3 dupes of a fragrance in different houses. So the "dupe has already been released" is not an argument, especially as Lattafa is not currently offering a dupe of Lost Cherry.
Best regards
