About this deal

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. the special edition flacons are truly adorable with its japanese red metalic cap and blossoms over the puristic elegant flacons. 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 smelled this in a BBW store when it first came out. They were scenting the whole front store area with the oil warmer or something like that. It smelled so glorious that I ended up choosing all the layering products. That was around 2007 maybe. I wore it a lot and then stopped. Life changed and I moved and it became part of a closed chapter of my life.

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.I've browsed the alleged basenotes, and they're all things I adore as well. Truly, I have no idea what bothers me about this. I love many strange and wonderful frags too, so for me to dislike a "weird" and creative one like this is highly irregular, I have even enjoyed all of the Mugler edps that I have tried! 🤔 unfortunately does not last very long on my skin, I love also the oil wash, bodycream, satin mist, handcream and of course the incredible yummy roomspray of japanese cherry blossom.

I'd been known to enjoy BBW's Japanese Cherry Blossom scent, but a friend bought me a set of Cherry Blossom bath products for Christmas (by happy mistake?!), and it wasn't until I breathed in the delicate, powdery-light gentle sweetness of the body wash and shampoo/conditioner in the shower that I grabbed the bottles for a second look! OH, "plain" Cherry Blossom! Lovely! The whole house smelled beautiful after that shower! At first spritz, the spiciness is center stage. Definitely cinnamon, and I'm assuming the cedar and patchouli. Very challenging if you've only recently been introduced to JCB, but it's glorious in comparison to the swill they're charging money for these days. Japanese cherry blossom is a powerful, yet discreet fume to me that doesn't want to try too hard to get your attention. What I particularly in JCB like, is that it's there without being too much. What I smell is a mixture of fruity, floral,woody and gourmand. It really has the potential to be either! I sometimes think it smells like butter and marmalade on toast, while the other moment I smell something like a woody pomegranate, then something like combination of red apple and citrus (red apple and fortunately not green apple, that I dislike). It smells a little like cherry in the air, but much better and ladylike. 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. 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!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. I've become quite fond of Japanese Cherry Blossom over the last month or so. I bought the fragrance mist in travel size- for three dollars! Who could resist that!- and unlike the other B&BW fragrance mists, it doesn't have that rubbing alcohol SQUEAK! that most other B&BW fragrance mists have.
