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.

Our Verdict - Astray Fruit EDP

Astray Fruit chases Tom Ford Lost Cherry - the same boozy sour-cherry-and-almond opening over a warm vanilla-tonka base. The dupe captures the addictive cherry-liqueur impression but reads sweeter and flatter, with the dark, syrupy depth thinned and projection closer to the skin.
