Flavia Cherry Illusion

Cherry Illusion, formerly sold as Cherry Lust, is Flavia's interpretation of Tom Ford's Lost Cherry, matching that fragrance's bitter almond and black cherry opening over a jasmine sambac and Turkish rose heart.

Mykonos Dolce Cherry

Dolce Cherry is a unisex Eau de Parfum from Mykonos built around pink pepper, clove, bergamot, vanilla and maraschino cherry over black cherry, cinnamon leaf, dried apricot, vanilla and plum, before tonka bean, sandalwood, amberwood, vetiver and cedar take over in the base. Tom Ford Lost Cherry is the clearest inspiration, but Mykonos pushes the spice much harder.
