Japanese Cherry Blossom

Japanese Cherry Blossom by Bath & Body Works is a sweet, floral-centric fragrance with prominent jasmine, mimosa, pear, and sandalwood notes, delivering a soft, powdery, and slightly synthetic aroma. It has a light to moderate sillage and is perceived as being unisex, though overwhelmingly favored by women. The scent is often described as nostalgic, evoking memories of school, mother’s perfume, or high school, with a vintage, retro feel. Most agree it lacks depth and complexity, leaning more toward a clean laundry or soapy floral aesthetic rather than a true cherry blossom profile. The longevity is weak or moderate, and many note it fades quickly—some even describe it as almost undetectable or having ultra-short wear. While some find it comforting and elegant, others find it cloying, overly sweet, or reminiscent of ‘old lady’ scents due to its powdery and musky undertones. It’s appreciated for its familiarity and reliability among fans, though criticized for being dated, synthetic, and lacking projection. It's best worn in spring during daytime hours, rather than for intense or bold occasions.
