What Is ALT Fragrances Cherry Smash a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what ALT Fragrances Cherry Smash is a dupe of, the answer is Tom Ford Lost Cherry. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of cherry liqueur, almond and warm woods. Here are the notes worth comparing before you choose a bottle.

The idea behind the comparison

ALT’s chart gives you several cherry impressions to follow: fruit, liqueur and syrup. Bitter almond and warmer woods add another side to the comparison. If you like Lost Cherry for a particular balance of fruit and almond, make that your starting point rather than judging sweetness alone.

How do their notes compare?

ALT lists a top, middle and base structure for this scent. Its listed notes include Cherry, Bitter Almond, Cherry Liqueur, Cherry Syrup, Rose, Jasmine Sambac and Roasted Tonka Bean. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Tom Ford Lost Cherry lists Bitter Almond, Black Cherry, Cherry Liqueur, Sour Cherry, Plum, Turkish Rose and Jasmine Sambac among its notes. You can see the complete profiles above, with each scent’s own labels and structure. A note list describes the idea; it does not tell you the proportions or guarantee that two fragrances develop the same way.

What would we compare on skin?

Compare the cherry and almond first, then check the liqueur impression beside the woods and tonka. We would see which part of that balance you actually want from a bottle.

Which one should you choose?

If cherry liqueur, almond and warm woods is the idea you want to explore, this pairing is a useful place to start. We’d choose between them after checking the actual bottle size, current offer and return terms, rather than assuming one is automatically the better deal. Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can, and compare them again after the opening has settled.
