Sorry, Tom Ford's Lost Cherry "Fructus Virginis" by Alexandria Fragrances just wins this battle (opens in a new tab)I have Lost Cherry mainly because the wife really likes it, but it doesn’t last more than 3 - 4 hours on my skin. It’s sad really but that opening note is so good. TF Private Blend is so expensive now.

14m my beautiful fragrance collection (opens in a new tab)Their 'clones' are sometimes better than the real thing IMO. I have said this before but I think Fructus Virginis is better than TF Lost Cherry.
