Bath and Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom For Women 8 oz Fine Fragrance Mist

Product Information

I found that more often than not the body spray is definitely very floral at first, it does mellow quite nicely within the first 10-15 min. However, after an hour or so of wear, I think it often smells strange on me - almost like the notes are clashing. It might be the way the cinnamon note mixes with the florals?

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. I ended up using all my lotion but kept the spray. It is as strong and long lasting as an EDT and now I really love wearing it. I even poured some into a little atomizer spray bottle. It’s been really interesting revisiting the fragrances that resonated with me when I was younger now that I’ve had a few years away, and have moved into different scents. I remember never really being able to say what this smelled like, which I’m sure is part of why I liked it. It was maybe the first fascinating (to me, at least) scent I owned. It was stronger and felt darker, sultrier than the other things I’d worn up to that point; Strawberries and Champagne by Victoria’s Secret, Dolly Girl by Anna Sui, Hula by Roxy, Chanel Chance. I started wearing it in college, and it seemed appropriate. It was a break from my girlhood; it felt sophisticated, maybe how I imagined the woman I wanted to become would smell. I have the Bath & Body Works set of the perfume, the fragrance mist, and the body lotion. When you put on the lotion and then the perfume it smells amazing. Wish it lasted longer though. This has been reissued in a different bottle with a reddish color. I was gifted with a powerful lotion of this. Upon application I was hit with the memory of that blossom, wrapped around something like berries and a brown sugar cube. Not 100% my style of scent as it reminds me of too many other faceless women who leaped for this kind of "musky floral" as their constant signature over the years. However, I don't hate it because of its versatility. Anyone can wear this if they can *own* it.I do not find this scent terribly sweet, as the listed top notes of plum, pear, and apple might lead one to expect. It seems clean and neutral in a unique way. I know of no fragrance to which this one compares, aside from the one used to scent the BBW body product line "self-meditation," which claims to be rice-laden, and which I also like, but I believe has been discontinued.

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! 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'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! 🤔In Stores & Online – 40% Off Entire Store on November 27, 2023 at 6:00 AM ET to November 29, 2023 at 5:59 AM ET. At first its a bit strong but after 30min this turns to something heavenly. The best part that I loved about it is it blend well with my body heat. The more heat my body produce the more stronger the heavenly smells wafting. when i use the roomspray in our appartement i feel like in a japanese garden in spring full of cherry blossoms in bloom! If I had to describe this scent, I'd say it's floraly, fruity, musky, and woody. The cherry blossom note is the most dominant in the fragrance, which smells fresh, powdery, and subtly sweet. The fruity quality to the fragrance provides a watery feel, rather than a sugary sweet one. The musk adds heavyness and softness to the fragrance. The woody notes provide some subtle spice to it. It's beautifully blended, and it's very sophisticated by Bath & Body Works standards. 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.
