Fructus Virginis

Fructus Virginis by Alexandria Fragrances is a bold, boozy cherry gourmand with prominent almond-marzipan and tonka bean notes that linger long after application. Its opening is a bright, syrupy burst of tart cherry and bitter almond—intensely sweet but not synthetic—crafted in a way that amplifies the boozy liqueur character. In the dry down, the cherry note remains stubbornly present, blending into a creamy, slightly nutty warmth of almond, vanilla, and woodiness. The fragrance has strong projection and impressive longevity, easily lasting up to 8–9 hours on skin, making it ideal for evening wear or cooler seasons. It feels unisex with a playful, sensual edge, often garnering compliments and being perceived as both seductive and cozy. While it closely resembles Tom Ford's Lost Cherry in core profile, it leans more toward a jammy, sweeter interpretation with stronger presence through the smoke and sweetness, rather than the sharp, precise elegance of the original. Its performance outpaces the original in longevity and sillage, making it a cost-effective alternative for cherry fragrance lovers.
