Alexandria UK Fructus Virginis is an Eau de Parfum. Fructus Virginis opens with Cherry Liqueur, Almond, Cherry, and Black Cherry, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Peru Balsam. Alexandria UK's Fructus Virginis carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A budget clone of Tom Ford's Lost Cherry - Fructus Virginis delivers the boozy black cherry and bitter almond opening well but its floral heart and woody base are simpler and less creamy than the niche original, running sweeter and slightly more one-dimensional.

About

Fructus Virginis opens with a genuinely intoxicating triple-hit of cherry - dark black cherry, boozy cherry liqueur and a tart syrupy edge - matched with a mouthwatering bitter almond accord that closely echoes the original's famous pâtisserie-cherry opening. The heart is comparatively thin, with Turkish rose and jasmine sambac offering a light floral touch rather than the original's fuller, more textured mid-stage. The base of tonka bean, Peru balsam, cedar and sandalwood gives a warm, creamy woody finish, though it lacks some of the original's plush, long-lasting sillage. Performance is solid for the opening hours where the cherry-almond combination shines, then settles into a soft, sweet skin scent. A strong budget option for anyone chasing that specific boozy-cherry gourmand craving, even if the finish doesn't quite match the niche original's polish.
