Ambery Cherry

Oh my gosh I was not expecting to love this. I haven't tried TF yet, so I can't speak to it's accuracy, but I might have to actually get a bottle of this. I was disappointed at first spritz, because it starts off very smoky and almost incense like, which I don't dislike, but where was the cherry? After a few minutes, the cherry/almond notes really took center stage. I'm really not a fan of overly sugary notes, so I love that it's a rich dark cherry instead of a cheap candy cherry scent. Now, a couple hours later, it's mainly a lovely warm almond, but there is still a cherry or plummy edge to it that is very pleasant.

I did smell Lost Cherry a few times, but do not own it to do a side by side. However, from the memory, they are very close. I get super strong and addictive sweet Cherry-plum smell. Not even a tiny bit “medicinal”, not at all juvenile or “candle like”. The smell is rather heavy and evening leaning (so does the original). But for dates or special occasions - it is great. I use around 10 sprays, can feel it on me for around 5-6 hours, after it fades more of a skin scent. Probably if you spray less you can get away with day wear, but I suspect that then it will fade faster

I’ve had my bottle for going on two years and it gets better with age. Most dupes or less expensive knocks tend go sour in a year. Dossier for sure has made this work. It’s not Tom Ford or Killian but if you’re looking for a softer less kick in the face version this absolutely hits the mark. In the fall I blends with Vanilla 28. Otherwise this is a great all year scent.

I have this and it definitely leans more feminine out of the bottle but dries down into what I would say is a sweet amber that is more unisex. I love it. It's heavy, bold and the longevity is (DAYS) no joke. I wear it on occasion but need to let it sit on me for a while to let it tone down. Nothing Dossier produces is bad. You can't really go wrong with a Dossier frag.

This was my signature scent for many years! A very sexy mature cherry. On me, it was sort of smoky and dark and boozy smelling. Not in the way that bad perfume just smells like alcohol, but a sexy bourbon almost smell to it? Not sure where that came from given the notes. But an amazing scent that lasted forever and had great projection. Very very distinct smelling!
