Bath and Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom For Women 8 oz Fine Fragrance Mist

Product Information

I do feel like it has gotten stronger and on the fruitier side, maybe to compensate for 2010s preferences. But overall it is still a classic millennium scent, pleasant, romantic, and not overly mature. I can't place it - the strength of a rose fragrance without smelling directly of roses. (I've yet to smell an actual cherry blossom, if they truly are this fragrant). Definitely evocative of one's actual perfume instead of a watery body splash. i wish the edt had this intensity and longivity as the roomspray. bought the luxe travel edt spray to reaply when i m out of home, small enough to get in every purse :) indeed a wonderful scent for springtime and summer! There are many superb Orientals like Shalimar, Emeraude, Samsara and Mitsuoko that are timeless and beloved perfumes. While Japanese Cherry Blossom by Bath and Body Works are nowhere near the level of sophistication of Shalimar, this is no less an Oriental. The fragrance might not last very long, and the projection and sillage is poor, but it's like a little breeze when you spray it, a light gust of wind from the Orient, blowing cooly on cherry blossom. In Japan, the cherry blossom is the equivalent to the rose in England; it's their signature flower. These fragrant flowers grow on trees caressed by winds and are found even in the gardens of the Imperial Palace. Everywhere in Japan you see the pink and white cherry blossoms remindng you where you are: in the Far East. This fragrance is subtle but it takes you to Japan for at least a couple of minutes. I found it sweet and comfortng, like drinking green tea under a cherry blossom and under a delicious breeze.

Another best thing happened when i layer the body mist along with the body butter. The body butter has strong japanese cherry blossom scent too which helps extending the longevity of the body mist. When I wear it I pair it with Bodycology Japanese Cherry Blossom body cream and it's really pretty. I enjoy wearing this again and I should go test the new formula to compare. My old body spray has really stayed in tact and still smells wonderful. As I said the scent is simple yet paradoxal because while it is a bubbly sort of scent it also, on me at least, has some warmth and a good bit of muskiness and that makes it extremely comforting. Yes I know its marketed to a younger crowd and probably a bit of an immature scent for the true perfume snobs but what can I say? I like what I like and I this is a lovely scent for any woman whose chemistry meshes well with it. the special edition flacons are truly adorable with its japanese red metalic cap and blossoms over the puristic elegant flacons.

The flowers are delicate and powdery. The dry down is woodsy with sandalwood and cedar wood. I can really smell that cedar and sandal. Then it turns a bit musky but not animalic at all. Sometimes the very last part of it smells like burnt incense. It's also quite powdery. Very subtle and very easy on the nose. Japanese Cherry Blossom is an all purpose any time anywhere fragrance. I bought the fragrance mist and the body butter because both are actually on sales (you know the Bath & Body Works always have crazy sales happened). If I had to describe this scent, I'd say it's floraly, fruity, musky, and woody. The cherry blossom note is the most dominant in the fragrance, which smells fresh, powdery, and subtly sweet. The fruity quality to the fragrance provides a watery feel, rather than a sugary sweet one. The musk adds heavyness and softness to the fragrance. The woody notes provide some subtle spice to it. It's beautifully blended, and it's very sophisticated by Bath & Body Works standards. I found that more often than not the body spray is definitely very floral at first, it does mellow quite nicely within the first 10-15 min. However, after an hour or so of wear, I think it often smells strange on me - almost like the notes are clashing. It might be the way the cinnamon note mixes with the florals?

So happy I got this, it is nostalgia in a bottle. It makes me feel so feminine and mysterious, like the beautiful geishas from an age gone by. And might I add, the body splash is just as great. However, as to be expected, it is not quite as complex as the EDT. It's more like the third stage of the EDT right from the start. But the quality of both is great, they've held their integrity very well and they put the current version to SHAME. I ended up using all my lotion but kept the spray. It is as strong and long lasting as an EDT and now I really love wearing it. I even poured some into a little atomizer spray bottle.

Japanese Cherry Blossom from Bath & Body Works

So, I stand behind this as the masterpiece that it is...but I suppose even some of the best art doesn't hit everyone in a positive way... Instead, Japanese Cherry Blossom is warm and soothing, a comforting floral that blends woodiness, musk and vanilla in the dry down. This scent reminds me a bit of Kenzo's Amour, but it's far less heavy than Amour, and is much more wearable, in my humble opinion. In fact, I far prefer the combination of notes in Japanese Cherry Blossom- it's warm but not too heavy, never overpoweringly floral or spicy, and just the right hint of sweetness without being cloying; it's very well blended, and I find it suitable for both day and night time wear. It makes me feel quite feminine, delicate and pretty when I'm wearing it. Am I the only one who thinks that this smells like shampoo out of the bottle? At first, I didn't like it but I agree with my brother, it smells cool. It reminds me of cold weather and rainy days at night. Then I put some on my skin and wow, it smells amazing! It's all about floral and fruity that is not cloying but rather comforting if you give it a minute. This is also that kind of mist that could be compared to expensive perfumes because it does not smell cheap to me. Yeah I know I said that it smells like shampoo but it's not like your typical shampoo. Expensive shampoo, maybe? Ugh, I'm bad at comparing but my brothers like this one. This is perfect to wear in cold weather but also all year round. I can say that it is distinct from all the mists of BBW. It smells amazing! I did say it twice even though it smells like shampoo before but I changed my mind. One of my favorites! Also, this stays on my skin longer than I expected unlike the other mists which is a plus. Apply the body butter first than spritz the body mist on top is totally perfect match. The only downturn is the body mist liquid is red color and the body butter color content is pastel pink which can leave stain on white clothes.

love love love this one! so tart, creamy soft powdery and flowery with a slight noticable warmth sniffing near the skin.Being that Japanese Cherry Blossom is such a popular scent, I have tried it numerous times. It is strange, but every time I try it I have a different reaction to it. I don't know if that has to do with the way the scent responds to my body chemistry or if it has to do with my mood, but there are days when I love it and days when I can't stand it. Oh man, when I was in my late teens and really early 20s, this was my end all, be all fragrance. I wore this scent to death for almost three years straight (and I wore nothing else, aside from Tommy Girl once in a while). After that, I developed an aversion to it, to the point of hating it for over five years. I wore out my love for Japanese Cherry Blossom for a long time. It has really good projection on me without being to strong of a scent to choke people out if that makes sense and lasts all day on my skin and for ages on my clothing. I do not find this scent terribly sweet, as the listed top notes of plum, pear, and apple might lead one to expect. It seems clean and neutral in a unique way. I know of no fragrance to which this one compares, aside from the one used to scent the BBW body product line "self-meditation," which claims to be rice-laden, and which I also like, but I believe has been discontinued. Once the spice recedes, the fruits and florals come through nice and strong. Then on the dry down, you're left with an absolutely gorgeous pear, cherry blossom, slightly powdery, vanilla-amber scent. Maybe a little sandalwood in there too. This final stage is what most people would imagine when they think of JCB. But this is the real deal, not the ghost that people have become accustomed to. It's so comforting and beautiful. The sillage and longevity are pretty darn good as well, I have to say.
