Lovely Chèrie

Lovely Cherie by Maison Alhambra offers a sweet, gourmand cherry profile that closely resembles Tom Ford's Lost Cherry, though it is lighter and less syrupy. The opening features a prominent bitter almond note that quickly softens into a smooth, luscious dark cherry with a nutty vanilla and toffee base. The dry down has a warm, slightly smoky, and subtly powdery character that leans unexpectedly masculine for a fragrance so sugar-laden. The scent is most effective in cooler months—autumn and winter—giving it a sultry, intimate aura suitable for evening wear. It performs moderately, lasting around 3 to 6 hours on skin and up to 15 hours on clothing, though some users note a short initial burst and rapid fade after three hours. The sillage is moderate and not intrusive, making it suitable for day or night use without overpowering.
