About this deal

One hour in the raisin smell is less pronounced, and I am picking up vanilla and nuttiness that to me was more pecan than almond. I’ve had mine for a few weeks macerating but I am not getting much cherry at all … which is why I bought it . This one is stronger at first spray, way more cherry, and lasts at least a few hours (longer on clothing). So far it’s been 5 hours and I still smell it, the sillage is moderate and the drydown is a silky, woodsy, luxardo cherry dream.

It's a teensy bit smoky but not so smoky that I get the stale-cigarette musty, morning-after-a-club-night odor, which I dislike. It doesn't project much, but I can easily catch whiffs of it when I move my arm closer to my face, and I really love the smoky cherry-vanilla drydown. All I know is that I love cozy gourmands that are grounded enough that I can wear them and not smell like I’ve sloppily eaten a dessert and am wearing it and I got just that with this fragrance. Once you're into the mid and dry down, the almond kind of fades away, and is replaced by a smooth and sweet tonka bean. Soon as you spray it smells like vanilla cherry Pepsi but when it dies down it smells like baby diapers 😭.

Not saying men can't wear this or that but I prefer to smell this on a woman or works better on a woman. I have Nina Ricci's L'extase Rose Absolue, which I haven't been 'feeling' for a while now; just had it out today to see if I wanted to declutter it. I find this feminine but have seen many reviewers who love and uses this being guys as well so it's probably unisex to some. HOWEVER, TFLC's poor performance mean it likely won't make it to midnight let alone drunkenly stumbling out of the club at 5AM or the 6AM walk of shame. The Guess Seductive Black Women's Eau de Toilette was created for the ritual of seduction and will attract the attention of all the objects of your desire.

These cherries are a little boozy but not too much; they smell more like the cake filling than a liqueur. Seen is a fresh, luminous and precious fragrance that opens on the lusciously inviting fruity notes. Lovely Cherie is close to Dossier's version as well, but this is the better bargain with a nicer presentation.A full-bodied journey into the once-forbidden, a contrasting scent that reveals a tempting dichotomy of a playful, candy-like gleam on the outside and a luscious scent on the inside.

I have no idea what Tom Ford Lost Cherry smells like so I have no comparative comments here, but I was interested in purchasing a cherry fragrance for my collection. I don't think this resembles Lost Cherry except in the vanilla and nut notes, and there are endless frags with those notes that don't open smelling to me like something a convict made in the toilet.

In the opening, I get a heavy dose of perfumer's alcohol smell in Lost Cherry but I get none of that in Lovely Chèrie. Bright Peach is Fresh, juicy - Presented, a ripe peach, with some accords of green leaves, Top notes: Peach Heart Notes: Blood Orange Oil Base Notes: Peach, Patchouli. An exceptional layering fragrance when added on top of other fragrances that are dense, complex, dark, deep, rich; especially those that are boozy, spicy, and sweet gourmand types.

I've never smelled the TF version, BUT everyone says that Finery (Target sold brand) smelled like a dupe of it so I bought it and smells delicious. I have a few carded samples of Lost Cherry that I never used, so I thought I'd use one of them today to compare Lovely Chèrie to Lost Cherry. Can't say if this is a perfect dupe for Lost Cherry, but if you love this scent profile I feel like you're better off with this than spending a fortune at Tom Ford. I don't get the Designer smoothness but I also don't find it at all screechy, like cheap cherry-centered frags can be. For example, some top note citrus scents smell stronger immediately upon application, while a lavender middle note may be sensed after some time from application as the top note evaporates.Top notes are Bitter Almond and Rose; middle notes are Cherry, Black Cherry and Amber; base notes are Tonka Bean, Toffee and Peru Balsam. Purchased this together with the Bright Peach just to see what the hype is about, and I find this to be the more likable of the two. Somehow the almond gets a bit powdery when the time passes by and the fragrance smells a little more clean and elegant.
