Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lost Cherry EDP
Lost Cherry is a provocative cherry liqueur fantasy wrapped in almond and vanilla, decadent and utterly distinctive. Unapologetically sweet and boozy, it demands attention and invites indulgence.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Afghan Cherry EDP
Afghan Cherry is Perfume Parlour's mash-up of Nasomatto Black Afgano and Tom Ford Lost Cherry - boozy sour cherry and almond bolted onto a dark, resinous bed of coffee, tobacco, oud and incense. The dupe captures the striking sweet-meets-smoky contrast but flattens both halves, sitting closer to the skin than the nuclear-performing Black Afgano.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lost Cherry

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Lost Cherry's intense cherry sweetness and liqueur warmth shine best in cooler weather, making it ideal for fall and winter. Its density can feel cloying in heat but works for spring evenings.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

This is a statement scent for special nights out or formal settings where you want to leave a memorable impression. Best avoided in professional or athletic settings due to its bold projection and gourmand sweetness.

Afghan Cherry

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The dark resinous oud-and-cherry profile is firmly cold-weather and overwhelming in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

A bold, statement-making blend built for evenings and dates rather than office or daytime wear.
