Transient Cherry Blossoms
This fragrance is inspired by hanami, the traditional Japanese custom of viewing cherry blossoms in early spring. Japanese cherry blossoms last for a mere two weeks, and this seasonal motif has become one of Japan’s most symbolic aesthetics. Japanese people find beauty in the flowers’ short life, from the hatch to the fall of petals dancing in the air. The Sakura fragrance is inspired by the Oshima-sakura, a variety with a particularly vivid scent.
Top note: Ozone breeze
Middle notes: Oshima-sakura, rose, muguet
Base note: Warm wood
This fragrance contrasts “blue” and “pink”, combining ozone breeze with muguet, rose and white floral fragrances. These soft fragrances are set off by a warm wood base note.
