Community Sentiment Pulse — Electric Cherry
Mixed43 opinions · Source: r/fragrance community
5.2
/10
Cherry Smoke receives genuine praise as a sophisticated, well-executed fragrance, while Electric Cherry disappoints as an overpriced, generic mall fragrance. The broader community consensus is that Tom Ford's luxury pricing has become indefensible, with many recommending decants or waiting for price drops rather than purchasing full bottles at the suggested retail price.
Positive
- Cherry Smoke is rich, deep, and well-rounded with non-medicinal cherry
- Lost Cherry remains a beloved benchmark for cherry fragrances
- Cherry note performs well with good longevity (up to 10 hours)
Negative
- Electric Cherry smells like Bath & Body Works Cherry Blossom, too generic and feminine
- Pricing is extreme ($390+) and considered offensive even for Tom Ford standards
- Tom Ford performance and quality don't justify the premium pricing
- Prices have increased dramatically (136%+ since original 2007 launch)
