🇫🇷 French Perfumes!😶‍🌫 Long Lasting and Intense Scents!👍 Fraction of the Cost of Designer Fragrances

PRODUCT DETAILS

Fiction is an eau de parfum, 50 ml, with roughly 20% fragrance oil. It costs €25, the same as every scent we make, whatever the original behind it, and stays affordable no matter how often you reach for it. From €55 the shipping is on us, and delivery runs 2 to 5 working days.

Tom Ford sells Lost Cherry as an eau de parfum, and Fiction is built to the same concentration rather than a lighter eau de toilette. If you know an extrait de parfum, this sits a step below that in richness, which keeps it wearable for longer stretches without feeling heavy.

Longevity is 6 to 9 hours, with the cherry and almond staying noticeable well past the halfway point. Handmade in small batches, vegan and cruelty free. Fifteen days to swap Fiction for something else if it does not suit you.

NOTES

Top notes

Bitter almond, black cherry, cherry liqueur

Heart notes

Sour cherry, turkish rose, jasmine sambac, plum

Base notes

Tonka bean, vanilla, cinnamon, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, clove

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Fiction is our perfume dupe of Tom Ford Lost Cherry, made for anyone who wants that boozy cherry liqueur opening as an everyday scent rather than saving it for special occasions. It starts on bitter almond, black cherry and cherry liqueur, moves into sour cherry, turkish rose, jasmine sambac and plum, then settles into tonka bean, vanilla, cinnamon, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver and clove.

The cherry liqueur accord up top is what most people notice first, dark and a little boozy rather than sweet in a childish way. As the jasmine sambac and rose come through it turns more floral, and the tonka bean and vanilla in the base give it that gourmand warmth people describe when they say it smells like a grown-up cherry dessert. Sillage is strong for the first hour, then settles closer to skin and carries well into the evening.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

Fiction

Inspired by: Lost Cherry, Tom Ford

Fiction reads warmest from autumn through winter, when the boozy cherry and tonka base has cold air to push against, though a lighter hand in summer still works for an evening out.

Tom Ford originally aimed Lost Cherry at women, and Fiction follows that lead as a scent for her, but the almond and patchouli give it enough depth that plenty of men wear it too. It isn't strictly masculine or feminine, so treat it as leaning toward women rather than fully unisex if you like a clear direction.

Choose our Inspiration

Tom Ford is an American luxury house built by the designer of the same name, and its Private Blend line is where the brand puts its most unusual, less mainstream ideas. Lost Cherry launched in 2018 and became one of the line's most requested bottles almost immediately.

Most people just call it Lost Cherry rather than reaching for the full Tom Ford name every time. It's become one of the fragrances other niche and designer houses get compared to, and it's the scent most cherry-forward perfume dupes are chasing.

Why choose us?

Fiction is our alternative to Tom Ford Lost Cherry, similar to the original rather than an exact clone, built from our own French fragrance oil recipe and filled by hand instead of mass produced in a factory line.

We keep it as an eau de parfum because a lighter version would lose the cherry liqueur richness that makes people recognise it. Reviews so far point to the almond and cherry opening as the part that convinces people fastest. Some would call it a fragrance dupe, we just call it our version. If it doesn't smell close enough to what you remember, send it back within 15 days and we will exchange it.
