947 Lost Cherry

947 opens with a genuinely convincing rush of black cherry and cherry liqueur cut with almonds, capturing the boozy, juicy-sweet character that made Lost Cherry an instant cult classic. Griotte syrup, Turkish rose and jasmine sambac carry the heart, adding a floral, slightly jammy depth that tracks the original's structure closely. The base of Peru balsam, roasted tonka bean, sandalwood, vetiver and cedar delivers a warm, gourmand finish, though it comes across as lighter and less syrupy-rich than the real Lost Cherry's famously indulgent dry-down. The opening and heart are the strongest stages of this dupe, arguably the most accurate match in the whole range, while the base is where the budget format shows through most, fading to a soft cherry-almond skin scent rather than the original's lingering gourmand richness. For fans of boozy fruity-florals, 947 is a genuinely enjoyable, easy-to-love scent in its own right.
