Gorgeous cherry-tonka
Cherry is absolutely gorgeous. The cherry-almond opening is rich and the tonka base lasts for hours. My go-to evening fragrance now. Cannot justify £250 when this exists.

For comparison, the official Tom Ford Lost Cherry note structure.
Opening accord of Tom Ford Lost Cherry, as composed by Tom Ford.
The middle accord that carries the wearer through the day.
The dry-down. Cherry follows the same architecture at 22–30% oil concentration vs 15-20% (EDP).
More oil, more scent. Longer wear, stronger projection. Cherry sits at the upper end of EDP-grade, overlapping with Extrait.
Designer Eau de Toilette typically contains 5–12% fragrance oil. Designer Eau de Parfum contains 15–20%. Extrait sits at 20–30%. Cherry is formulated at 22 to 30 percent oil concentration, the upper end of the EDP range, overlapping with Extrait. Higher oil concentration means longer wear, stronger projection, and a fuller scent profile. Tom Ford Lost Cherry at 15-20% (EDP) is more dilute than Cherry.
Cherry is developed by perfumers who have composed scents for houses you already own. Same training. Same suppliers in Grasse, France. Same note structure as the £395 original, at 22–30% oil concentration (EDP grade). We cut the theatre, not the oil.

"We cut the celebrity endorsement, the department store concession, and the brand licence. The difference goes back into the formula."
Katie Johnson, Founder · The Fragrance WorldDesigner brands charge £300 or more for a 100ml bottle. The perfume itself costs three to five pounds to make. The rest is theatre: a campaign, a celebrity, a licensing fee, a retail margin, a bottle heavy enough to feel expensive in the hand.
It is simply how the industry has worked for forty years. What has changed is the assumption that you, the buyer, don’t know.
We started The Fragrance World in Liverpool to make one without the designer tax. One bottle. Thirty pounds. No apology, no compromise.

I received Cherry as a gift and was blown away. It smells expensive. My colleagues keep asking what I am wearing and are shocked when I tell them the price.
Tried the 5ml, fell in love, now own the 100ml. The cherry note is authentic, not synthetic. Better projection than my friend's actual Lost Cherry.
A 5ml atomiser. Enough for a full week of wear so you can decide on skin, not from a description. Worst case: out £4.95 and a week.
