The review
Forbidden Love scores 7.2 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Lost Cherry.
Maison Alhambra sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Lost Cherry's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $30 it costs 93% less than Lost Cherry.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra 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
Tom Ford Lost Cherry is black cherry, cherry liqueur and bitter almond at first, sour cherry, Turkish Rose and jasmine sambac at its heart and peru balsam, roasted tonka bean and sandalwood at the end. Maison Alhambra set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- black cherry
- cherry liqueur
- bitter almond
Heart
- sour cherry
- Turkish Rose
- jasmine sambac
Base
- peru balsam
- roasted tonka bean
- sandalwood
For the one who wants candied cherry and almond turned decadent and dark, a liqueur-soaked indulgence that draws people uncomfortably close all night.
