Short answer: ALT. Fragrances Cherry Smash is the alternative the Scento roundup ranks first for Tom Ford Lost Cherry, and Dossier Ambery Cherry is the other one that names the original itself. The other four are comparisons made by a retailer. None is the original, and none can be called identical.

This page is desk research. It draws on brand pages, Amazon listings checked on October 19, 2026 and a published roundup. We have not smelled, worn or blind-compared any of these. The roundup comes from Scento, which sells perfume and a Lost Cherry decant, so its ranking is opinion with a commercial interest. We do not repeat its similarity estimates or hour counts, which are mostly unsourced and conflict between sections.

The alternatives

ALT. Fragrances Cherry Smash No. 12: the closest, per the roundup

Scento says Cherry Smash goes straight after the boozy cherry feel and names it the closest overall match. The Amazon listing is the 60 ml Extrait de Parfum sold by ALT. Fragrances, and its title says it is inspired by Lost Cherry. A 100 ml size is also listed.

  • Choose it if you want the alternative that openly names the original.
  • Skip it if you expect the same formula or the same brand experience.

Dossier Ambery Cherry: the clearest note list

Dossier’s Ambery Cherry page lists cherry, almond and cinnamon on top, cloves, rose, jasmine and plum in the heart, and Peru balsam, tonka bean and vanilla at the base. It calls the scent its impression of Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry and says it is not affiliated with Tom Ford. The Amazon listing is the 50 ml Eau de Parfum, sold by Dossier.

  • Choose it if you want to read the notes before you buy.
  • Skip it if you want the sparkle of a brighter opening, which the roundup says alternatives often miss.

Alexandria Fragrances Fructus Virginis: the boozier route

Scento describes Fructus Virginis as a boozier, more concentrated Extrait take on the profile, and credits Alexandria Fragrances with its own claim of capturing most of Lost Cherry’s character. The 100 ml listing is sold by Alexandria Fragrances, and a travel spray is listed separately. The brand’s own comparison is a marketing claim, not a test.

  • Choose it if you want a concentrated cherry with a boozy edge and a small trial size.
  • Skip it if you want a maker who states the inspiration on the product page.

Kayali Burning Cherry 48, Oakcha Sinful and Flaming Elixir: cherry gourmands

These three are the roundup’s looser comparisons. Scento says Kayali Lovefest Burning Cherry 48 is a value-first cherry scent and “not an exact” Lost Cherry match, with a 10 ml travel spray also listed. Oakcha Sinful is described as a ripe cherry gourmand with a softer opening, and Maison Alhambra Flaming Elixir as a cherry gourmand with a gentler opening and sweet vanilla depth. All three are third-party offers that showed limited stock when we checked.

  • Choose one if you want a sweet cherry perfume and do not need it to match the original.
  • Skip them if the bitter-almond edge of Lost Cherry is the point.

The original, if you would rather start there

Amazon listed new third-party offers for Tom Ford Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum in 3.4 oz and 1 oz , both with limited stock when we checked. The 50 ml size our review discusses showed no current in-stock offer, so search Amazon for Tom Ford Lost Cherry 50 ml Eau de Parfum if that is the size you want, and avoid mixing it up with Cherry Smoke. A third-party seller also lists a 1.5 ml sample vial , which is the cheapest way to test whether you like the original at all. Our Lost Cherry review covers what to check before paying for a full bottle.

Before you buy any of them

  • Sample the original first. If you do not enjoy cherry and bitter almond together, a cheaper interpretation will not fix that.
  • Do not confuse Lost Cherry with Cherry Smoke. Most alternatives are aimed at Lost Cherry.
  • Judge each alternative on its own. Buy it because you like wearing it, not because a roundup used the word “dupe.”
  • Compare the delivered total, the seller and the return terms. Opened fragrance is often final sale.
