Lost Cherry is cherry liqueur and marzipan over a warm tonka-vanilla base, with a rose heart that keeps it from being purely edible. It smells expensive, indulgent and slightly decadent.
It is genuinely unisex and firmly cool-weather. The price per millilitre is steep and the 50ml is the common size, so decants are a sensible way to try it. It launched the cherry-gourmand wave that now dominates the market.
Best for: Evenings, cool weather and trend-aware collectors.
The opening — what you smell in the first fifteen minutes.
The core character, emerging after roughly half an hour.
The dry-down that lingers on skin and fabric.
Lost Cherry suits date night, night out and weddings & special events. Its bold intensity means one or two sprays is genuinely enough — this is a fragrance that rewards restraint.
Expect roughly 8-10 hours on skin with strong projection. Longevity drops in high heat and humidity, so Queensland and Northern Territory wearers should plan for the lower end of that range. Spraying one of your applications onto clothing rather than skin extends it considerably.
It performs best in autumn and winter. It is not our pick for a hot Australian summer — the composition becomes heavier as temperatures rise, so keep it for the cooler months.
Yes. It is built around notes that carry no strong gender coding, and it is commonly worn by anyone.
Approximately $400 - $520 (50ml) at Australian retail. Designer fragrance is discounted almost continuously, so compare pharmacy chains, duty-free and online marketplaces before paying full department-store price.
