Fruity · Sweet · Synthetic
Alexandria Fragrances Fructus Virginis is a sweet, gourmand unisex scent built around black cherry, cherry liqueur and bitter almond; it has been discontinued.
The notes are not split into top, heart and base, so the scent reads as a single whole. Black cherry, cherry liqueur and griotte syrup give it a fruity, sugary weight, while bitter almond and tonka bean push that sweetness in a gourmand direction. Jasmine sambac and Turkish rose add a soft floral touch, and sandalwood, cedar and vetiver set down a spicy, woody, slightly smoky base.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters suggest leisure and evening wear, with daily, night out and business use close behind. It sits as a unisex scent. Tom Ford Lost Cherry and The Dua Brand Popped Cherry have a close profile.
