Alexandria Fragrances Fructus Virginis Perfume for Men & Women - Long Lasting Jasmine Sambac & Tonka Bean - Elegant Fructus Virginis Cologne for Daily Use Day & Night - Perfect for Any Event - 100ml

Fructus Virginis is way better in scent profile, longevity, sillage, and more affordable than Tom Ford's ridiculously overpriced Lost Cherry. Fructus Virginis is a juicy cherry-almond fragrance without the Jergen's lotion vibe — though, as a base, Jergen's would be great!!. Alexandria Fragrances is an outstanding brand — their velvet pouch packaging was lovely to receive, and I'm enjoying a decant sample of their Ouddiction!

Having tried both the tom ford LC and this alexandria I must say I prefer this one. The TF is a bit synthetic, syrupy (maraschino) almost medicinal cherry to my nose initially and dries down smoky. The FV smells to me more of a darker real cherry with a bit of boozy sweetness. The TF loses alot of that cherry note very quickly and does not last very long on my skin unfortunately making the price outrageous for what it is. This keeps that strong cherry note throughout the duration of its wear. If you buy this you must love a strong cherry note that lasts. (I definitely do.) The dark cherry is very prominent which i was hoping for more of in the LC. I'm very happy to have this in my little collection!

My first time ever leaving a review. I have try multiple dupes in the past and they are never good enough, despite the price (at least to me) no matter how good the reviews or how hyped they are by influencers, they just never hit the spot. This one however is like 98% close to LC. I have LC and tried them both 2 sprays on each arm and they smell exactly the same. After a couple of minutes FV gets this weird smokiness which isn’t necessarily unpleasant but im not the biggest fan. Then after it settles, I can’t distinguish between the two of them. FV does last a little longer but the cherry note doesn’t stay all the way to the end like others said (at least not on my skin). Overall this one scratch the itch I had for a cherry fragrance. I enjoy more the almond note on LC which is a little more prominent than on FV but for the price this one is an absolute win. Try it!

Smells like Lost Cherry. Lasts about the same for me as well. I never found the Tom Ford version to be particularly long lasting which is why I tried this fragrance out in the first place. I love the scent and don't think I'll spend $300 when I can buy this for $65 and it smells just as good or better.

I got this as a dupe for a super expensive Cherry perfume, and I am not disappointed. On me, this perfume is long-lasting and is not overpowering, it is something you will only smell if you are close to the person, which I what I prefer.

I was in search of a nice winter fragrance, so I bought a sample pack from Tom Ford. While searching for a cheaper alternative to Lost Cherry I came across Alexandria's dupe version Fructus Virginis, and I was surprised I like it even better than Tom Ford's version. When Ford's version wears down it leaves a sweet smell that isn't always the best, but Fructus Virginis simply ages better. If you are wondering if the fragrance is for you, I am a woman in my late 20s and Mediterranean coloring (brown eyes, brunette, olive skin tone). If you are fair skinned, I would not recommend this for you. It might be a little intense. Though that is just my opinion.

I've had this for about 3 months and worn it a dozen times and can confidently say this is a no for me. I will not comment about the scent itself because that's personal preference and body chemistry. And it isnt lost on me that the unfortunate reality of a blind purchase of a scent is that you really are gambling. However, since this listing does not offer returns, id like to put it out there that this product's synthetic smell is so intense that it causes headaches. At first sniff, i thought it smelled like liquor + syrup which was a little sickening but wanted to give it a fair try before deciding it isnt for me. Wore it, went out and returned in 30 min, came back home with the worst headache. The second time I wore it, i had sprayed this on the back of my coat that I wore to a restaurant. I couldn't eat because of the overwhelming scent that had stransfered to me from the coat. Came home with hangover level headache without consuming even a drop of alcohol. Reddit search said that I should leave it be for a bit before using it so after a month of a break, i tried again. I tried to be so so so light handed with it but noticed that I have a headache within a couple of hours of wearing it everytime i tried. Everytime i wore this, i would come home and would have to rip everything off of me and put it in the washer and take a shower. And then I'd be screwed if I touched anything and there were transfers since no amount of febreze could lift the smell. Thanks to this one, ive learned that i get headaches from non-natural ingridients. While I've never encountered issues with other scents, I shall be staying away from synthetics from now on.. Im not one to leave reviews often but I've decided to this time to help those who are sensitive to synthetics. Stay away. Beautiful bottle though.

Great dupe for Lost Cherry. I’m glad to have purchased this instead of Lost Cherry after reading the reviews on fragrantica. This is worth the money. Scent is very sweet so definitely for a gourmand lover. Last long time.
