Cherry In Japan

Cherry In Japan by Escada is a sweet, fruity floral fragrance with a prominent cherry blossom opening and a soft, creamy tonka bean base. It evokes a nostalgic, youthful charm reminiscent of sugary cherry candies and maraschino cherries, rather than fresh fruit. The scent is light, airy, and linear—ideal for summer days and casual wear—with a crisp, slightly synthetic quality that many describe as cheap or plastic-like. It performs well in the moment but lacks intensity and longevity, often fading within a few hours. The dry-down features a subtle, waxy sweetness, which some find appealing and others dismiss as dull or unremarkable. Many consider it a direct successor to the now-discontinued Cherry in The Air, sharing its cheerful, gourmand character, though slightly more floral and less marshmallowy. Despite some investors' disappointment over its lack of true fruitiness and weak sillage, it remains a likable, harmless choice for those drawn to bright, girly scents without strong aromatic depth.
