Fragrance Note
Black Cherry
Black cherry is a deep, slightly boozy fruit note · distinct from sweet supermarket cherry. It powers the famous "cherry liqueur" opening of Tom Ford Lost Cherry (2018).
About Black Cherry
Black cherry in fragrance is recreated synthetically using molecules including benzaldehyde and various nitrile compounds. The note reads as darker, denser, and more boozy than red cherry · closer to morello, kirsch, or maraschino than to fresh fruit. Tom Ford Lost Cherry (2018) repositioned cherry from a juvenile fruity note to a sophisticated adult signature, pairing it with bitter almond, tonka, and vanilla. The accord became one of the most copied in 2020s fragrance, spawning an entire "dark cherry" category in both luxury and dupe markets.
