Lost Cherry for the Budget-Conscious,
I finally had the chance to sniff Tom Ford Lost Cherry and Bitter Peach on a cruise, and I must say, I was blown away. I love fruity scents. I love cherry. However, the Tom Ford is honestly too expensive for me, as I wouldn't even know where to wear the fragrance.
Back home, the scent wouldn't leave my mind. I pondered back and forth, searched for a good deal, and then I came across Forbidden Love from an English YouTuber.
Ordered, sprayed, and immediately felt that vibe again, opening with a full-bodied, delicious sour cherry that develops into memories of childhood Caprisonne cherry. A really awesome sweet cherry bomb that comes very, very close to its role model, with a bit of marzipan vibes coming through in the dry down. The longevity of the scent is about 4 hours for me, during which the fragrance is still noticeable.
Where would I wear this scent? Good question... I see it in winter and would wear it subtly in the evenings when I go out.
Unfortunately, the bottle looks cheap, with printed glass, a plastic sleeve that looks inexpensive, and a light plastic cap without a magnet that still fits well. The sprayer is flawless.
