Lost Cherry

This formula is rated intermediate. It uses 16 materials and comes with step-by-step maceration and dilution guidance, so it suits makers comfortable with weighing materials on a precision scale. Every material is listed with its CAS number so you can source the exact item.

All of the materials are stocked by the major hobby-perfumery suppliers in the US, EU, UK and Australia. Each material includes its CAS number to make ordering unambiguous, and our free Ingredients Guide lists trusted suppliers by region. Specialty bases are flagged with supplier notes in the formula.

The formula is given per 100 g of concentrate, with grams-per-100g figures for every material, and our on-screen batch calculator scales it to 10 g, 50 g, 1 kg or any size instantly. Diluted to roughly 20% in perfumer's alcohol, a 100 g concentrate batch makes around 500 g of finished eau de parfum.

Yes, for personal use. Fragrance scents themselves are not protected by copyright, and our formulas are original reconstructions — our own interpretations, not the houses' confidential formulae. Trademarks protect names and logos, which is why we describe formulas as "inspired by" a fragrance and never use brand logos. Read more on our blog about clone-formula legality.

Each formula includes IFRA notes. The percentages describe the concentrate; your skin-level exposure depends on the final dilution. If you ever sell or gift a finished product you should check the current IFRA Standards for restricted materials and confirm the maximum for your product category. For personal use, always patch-test and follow supplier safety data.

Because formulas are digital products delivered instantly, we do not offer change-of-mind refunds. We will, however, refund or correct any formula that contains a genuine material error within 7 days of purchase. See our refund policy for details.
