Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

On paper, Cherry Lightning is a strong bet if you want Electric Cherry for less.

ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Electric Cherry's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $82 per 100ml it costs 83% less than Electric Cherry — the 5th cheapest of 7 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength ALT Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on cherry, red berries and pink pepper, turns to plum, cherry blossom and violet, and settles into amber, patchouli and woody notes. That is the brief Cherry Lightning is working from.
