Sakura Eau de Parfum
by Acqua di Parma
Sakura Eau de Parfum by Acqua di Parma is a light, fresh floral with a delicate cherry blossom heart and a clean, musky drydown. The opening features a crisp citrus burst of bergamot and mandarin, quickly giving way to a soft, feminine floral profile dominated by cherry blossom and jasmine sambac. The fragrance remains linear and understated, with a low sillage and fleeting presence—most wearers report noticeable scent for under an hour, with the drydown becoming intimate and skin-like. Despite its popularity in spring, it lacks both longevity and projection, making it more suitable as a subtle, daytime accent rather than a statement perfume. Many note its subtle clean soap-like quality and fresh, dewy aesthetic, likening it to a quiet moment in a cherry blossom garden after rain.
