Green Tea Sakura Blossom offers a light, fresh, and floral profile that captures the delicate essence of cherry blossoms within a green tea base. The opening features crisp bergamot and mandarin orange, followed by a soft, sweet floral heart of jasmine, peony, and a nearly imperceptible cherry blossom note. The dry down reveals a muted musk with faint earthy undertones, making it feel airy and clean rather than rich or complex. While it’s described as soft and tender, many users note a lack of distinct cherry blossom character, with the sweetness and floral presence fading quickly. The fragrance has a significant longevity issue — most find it lasts only 1–3 hours, especially in heat. It's most appreciated in spring and summer, particularly for casual daytime wear in warm climates. The scent is universally deemed light, unobtrusive, and suitable for offices or school, with minimal sillage. However, its simplicity and lack of standout features are noted as limitations. Though some appreciate it as an understated alternative to pricier floral scents, many find it generic, bland, or synthetic-sounding — recalling body sprays or soapy perfumes — particularly compared to similar bottles like Burberry Her Blossom or the original Green Tea.
