Love Spark

I LOVED the tom ford electric cherry when I first smelled it, love at first sight, I kept sniffing it throughout the next 4 hours that I had it on, and I STILL loved it, but it didn't last. This offers (conservatively) 90% of the same feeling, and the opening being 98% spot on. It being 1/10th of the price is what shocks me. If you like this scent profile, you'll LOVE this scent. This shit FUCKS. - man

I just hauled 8 Maison Alhambra clones of well known fragrances for my wife this Valentines Day from FrangranceX in New York State. One of those fragrances happens to be Love Spark. All were roughly 20$cad per item if you calculate total by items bought with shipping and tax included. Some were $23 others $14 etc. none went over 25$. I'm sweet on cheap. I have to be fair and mention these were just shipped to me and spent the night out in the cold . The shipper dumped them in a shrub outside my workplace. I have a firm belief fragrances have to sit after shipping and on a seperate matter, mature to something more stable and defined. I decided I would wear this one this morning because it seemed really light and unoffensive when shot in the box top. Initially I got zero cherries. Just a cloud of light jasmin that smelled like a Litchi . (that's my closest sweet note). I sprayed it on liberally at least 8 sprays counting inner elbows and wrists. I knew it was one of those frags that creep up on you from under your clothes. This isn't very potent right now but by experience with a similar Cherry frag (Hercules) I suspect the cherry will mature into a more noticeable note in a matter of months. It creeps up from under my shirt and I can sorta huff it once on my wrist before it's no longer noticeable to me. We do go noseblind to some stuff. This is a truly nice Cherry scent. It's light with a slight tartness that is nice as opposed to some thicker sweeter scents. It holds together in a nice clean scent. It's very very nice. I wouldn't pay TF prices for this scent but I understand those who go for stuff like Cherry Smoke at those prices. There's a simplicity that works in this . There's no juxtaposed Masculine to Feminine note that usually defines some of the TF lines. It's energizing and clean enough but can also carry a bit of sensuality and fruitiness. The ginger against cherry gets a lemon tinged Cherry carries on a jasmine and amber base that just gels into something pleasant. I would lean it more Feminine than masculine. I think that's what I love about it. My wife likes wearing men's fragrances and I love to wear women's scents...after all we swoon over the opposite sexes scents . They just can't lean totally on way when we wear them...at least not to us ...but who cares really. Life is about being yourself and doing what you like for the limited time we are here. This one is an example of "LIVE WITH YOUR SCENTS" see how they evolve and then pass on them if they don't mature into something you like. I've been surprised by stuff I hated and then changed with time. It applies to the cheap stuff and my Upscale stuff (Givenchy Gentleman junky here)

Each time I was able to spot Tom Ford’s Electric Cherry in a store, the freaking bottle was empty. I was never able to try it, because of that reason. Being a TF fan, I was curious, even though I heard that EC was the worst of his cherries. When I was able to found this one online, I was willing to blind-buy it, because the Maison Alhambra scents definitely are worth it, and good dupes in my opinion. I definitely like this one, it was better than my expectations. It’s a fresh, musky, clean cherry. It’s not like Lost Cherry and Cherry Smoke at all. I don’t agree with other commenters that I’ve heard describe this one as like a shampoo styled fragrance. It’s definitely a clean and fresh take on cherry, though.

It physically pains me to give a Tom Ford fragrance credit but im trying to affordably chase the high. This is good, but it doesnt fill me with light the way Electric Cherry does. It quickly dries down and just smells like...perfume. I dont get super definitive cherry here as much as just an ambiguous mix of red fruits in a sea of musks. This reminds me of Mariah Carey’s lollipop bling more than Electric Cherry. If I had bought this unknowingly/not with the intention of trying to replicate the TF fragrance, I’d probably like miss Love Spark more. Will probably be trying Irida next. 🤭

Smells identical to Tom Ford’s Electric Cherry. Sprayed them each on a hand, no one I asked could pick out a difference. That said, cherry goes away pretty quickly and just becomes a generic ambery musk (like EC). Longevity is terrible. Just like EC. Projection and sillage are good the first hour if you overspray it, vanishes after that into a skin scent. Also just like EC. I always advocate for originals over clones except in rare instances, like right now; just go for this one. You’ll be getting the same experience.
