Bath & Body Works has had two cherry blossom scents already - so perfect for Spring! Have you seen the Spring Cherry Blossoms in Washington, DC yet? If not, make sure you plan a trip to DC to see them next year - you won't regret it. Anyway, the earlier two scents were Cherry Blossom and Japanese Cherry Blossom - both nice scents. In fact, I very much love Japanese Cherry Blossom (it launches with soft fruit scents, shifts to florals, and ends with delicious amber/musk/cinnamon/cedarwood/sandalwood/vanilla rice - my type of scent)!
The newest member of the B&BW cherry blossom parade is Blushing Cherry Blossom. Here it is:
Pretty, huh?
Meant to represent the first scents of Spring, this was designed exclusively for B&BW by perfumer Jane Konnyou. "I chose to explore the pink, petally, textural floral nature of the flower in springtime, introducing other red and pink tonalities from peony, rosebuds, and fresh jasmine. The results is an extremely feminine expression of blushing pink petals as joyful and uplifting as a fresh spring morning," she said about the scent.
The breakdown:
Top Notes | mandarin, leafy green accord, sparkling quince, lush berries, and fresh melon.
Heart Notes | rose damascena, super hedoine, white jasmin, and rose juliette greco.
Bottom Notes | musk, violet, soft amber and creamy sandalwood.
The review:
I like this scent, though it's more floral than I usually am attracted to. I think because it's soft, it's something I can handle. The time of year may also be influencing me, since early Spring has me wanting a bit of a lighter, fresher mood - and perfume. If you like florals, you should definitely try this one!
Blushing Cherry Blossom is only available at Bath & Body Works stores and at Bath & Body Works online. It comes in the typical gazillion formulas, including eau de toilette, body lotion, shower gel, body splash, and body cream, plus a limited edition Satin Body Veil.
