Oakcha Sinful
Oakcha Sinful is a $50.95 fragrance that Oakcha itself labels "Inspired by: Tom Ford's Lost Cherry." The two published pyramids share the signature cherry liqueur and bitter almond opening plus a sandalwood-vetiver base, and the pairing is a fixture of community dupe discussions.
In short: Sinful is Oakcha's openly declared inspired-by take on Lost Cherry — the same boozy cherry-almond idea, backed by a substantial computed note overlap. Our editorial similarity assessment is 8/10; it remains an independent fragrance, with a noticeably leaner base than the original's.

What Is Oakcha Sinful a Dupe For?
Tom Ford's Lost Cherry may be the single most dupe-hunted gourmand of the past decade, and Oakcha Sinful is one of the most frequently named alternatives. The claim starts with the brand: Oakcha's official product page carries the label "Inspired by: Tom Ford's Lost Cherry." The community backs the pairing up — Sinful comes up in Reddit's r/Perfumes threads hunting the best Lost Cherry alternative, and Refinery29's review of Oakcha's inspired-by catalog covers the brand's approach directly.
One thing up front: Sinful is an independent perfume aimed at the Lost Cherry mood. It is not the original, and Oakcha's own "inspired by" labeling keeps that explicit.
Which Notes Do Sinful and Lost Cherry Share?
Per Oakcha's published pyramid, Sinful opens with cherry, cherry liqueur, and bitter almond; its heart is cherry syrup, rose, and jasmine; its base is sandalwood, vetiver, and cedarwood. Lost Cherry's documented structure runs bitter almond, black cherry, and cherry liqueur on top; sour cherry, plum, Turkish rose, and jasmine sambac in the heart; and a famously dense base of vanilla, tonka bean, cinnamon, Peru balsam, benzoin, sandalwood, cloves, cedar, patchouli, and vetiver.
The strictly matched overlap counts four notes: cherry liqueur and bitter almond in the opening, sandalwood and vetiver in the base — a computed overlap of roughly 44 percent against Sinful's compact list. The kinship reads closer still once naming variants are considered: cherry versus black cherry up top, rose versus Turkish rose and jasmine versus jasmine sambac in the heart, cedarwood versus cedar below. The signature gesture — liqueur-soaked cherry over bitter almond — is present in both lists in nearly the same words.
An explicit official claim, a solid computed overlap, and steady community comparison put our editorial similarity assessment at 8/10, the top of our range. It is an editorial judgment: note lists describe ingredients, not proportions or performance.
Where Do the Two Fragrances Differ?
The base. Lost Cherry's documented drydown stacks ten materials — vanilla, tonka, cinnamon, Peru balsam, benzoin, cloves, patchouli, and more — into a thick, balsamic-spicy cushion. Sinful's published base is three woods: sandalwood, vetiver, cedarwood. By the note lists alone, expect Sinful to dry down cleaner and woodier, while Lost Cherry's pyramid points to a sweeter, spicier, more enveloping finish. Sinful's heart also swaps the original's plum and sour cherry for a smoother cherry-syrup accent. If Lost Cherry's dense balsamic drydown is the part you love most, factor that difference in.
Who Is Sinful For?
At $50.95 per Oakcha's official listing, Sinful suits anyone chasing the boozy cherry-almond opening that made Lost Cherry famous, at a fraction of the niche price — and who is comfortable with a leaner, woodier drydown than the original's documented base suggests.
