Japanese Cherry Blossom 2020 Edition
by Bath & Body Works
Japanese Cherry Blossom 2020 Edition by Bath & Body Works offers a delicate, fresh floral profile centered around cherry blossom, enhanced by pear, jasmine, and sandalwood. The opening is clean, sweet, and refreshingly light—ideal for spring and summer days. The fragrance balances fruity sweetness with a powdery, milky sandalwood base, creating a soft, romantic aura. Many users appreciate its light weight and wearable quality, noting it feels youthful and clean without being overwhelming. However, some find the dry-down marks disruptive, with musky notes that resemble stale breath or musty fabric, leading to a perceived 'stuffy' or overpowered feeling. While longevity is moderate, some users report it fading too quickly, particularly the cherry blossom top note. It's predominantly worn during daytime and garners frequent compliments, especially when layered with complementary scents like Zara’s Violet Blossom.
