Cherry Smoothie

Cherry Smoothie by Zara delivers an intensely sweet, synthetic cherry scent with prominent almond and vanilla notes, creating a gourmand profile that feels more like a dessert than a traditional perfume. The opening is bold and sticky—some describe it as resembling cherry cough syrup or a sweet, artificial candy like Haribo gummy lollies. While it quickly evolves into a creamy cherry-almond jam with warm tonka and plum undertones, its projection is moderate to strong and lasts surprisingly long on the skin (up to 8 hours) and exceptionally well on clothing. However, it is noted for being overly sweet, with some users finding it cloying or even headache-inducing, particularly in warmer weather or when over-sprayed. The fragrance is not a strict dupe for Tom Ford Lost Cherry, though it shares similarities in the cherry-forward dry-down; it’s more youthful and playful than the sophisticated, boozy original. It layers well with other perfumes, and many appreciate its value, versatility, and performance for such a low price.
