Description
In February 2013 the house of Floris is launching their fragrance Cherry Blossom. This floral-fruity fragrance celebrates several centuries of Japanese tradition Hanami when friends and families have picnic under cherry tree and rest under romantic clouds of pink cherry blossom petals filling the air with charming, intoxicating scent. During the day, at picnic, they drink sake and enjoy tasty food while cherry petals relax the senses and bring true joy.
The new fragrance Floris Cherry Blossom provides a fresh, lively and luminous blend of bergamot, orange and pink pepper, as an overture to the floral bouquet in the heart, composed of cherry blossom, osmanthus, rose and peony. Floral notes of the heart are enriched with fresh fruit of juicy cherry. The base incorporates creamy, warm sandalwood and sensual musk.
Cherry Blossom by the house of Floris can be purchased in the amount of 100ml EDP.

This is very soft and pleasant. To me it’s somewhere between Fleur d`Osmanthus (Roger & Gallet) and Fleurs de Cerisier (L`Occitane), but way too close to something so cheap…

I think this is a lovely perfume, intensely floral and longlasting, yet poetical and not too much in your face.
It really smells like cherry blossoms, at least what we are used to think of cherry blossom in perfumes, but it also has an aromatic edge with beautiful osmanthus and some kick with sandalwood.
It’s not a complex nor an extremely original one, yet it gives a good mood vibe as if you were surrounded by a beautiful pink garden where nothing can reach you for harm.
Pleasant in summer when you don’t want thick syrupy fragrance, still you don’t like to smell all citrus and fresh pungent. This is soft and round.
It does reminds of L’Occitane Cherry Blossom, so you might think that you can have that for a fraction of price, but if you like osmanthus, this is better and more nuanced.
I’m not saying that it smells all natural, of course, syntheticals are everywhere. I get the “clean old woman” comment, but it doesn’t really seem so. It’s just intensely feminine, clean and a little carefree. You can be like that at any age. A garden is a garden.
A relatively simple fragrance with pleasant feeling.

I bought this when it was first released and absolutely loved it. The top notes were amazing, like sparkling, tart, glamorous cherries with a shot of tequila over them. I couldn’t get enough of it and truly thought I’d found my signature scent. I didn’t pay much attention to the drydown to be honest as it kind of gently faded away rather than changing too much, or so I thought. Fast forward a couple of months to lunch with my best friend. I leant over her to reach my bag on the floor in the restaurant and she said “Ooh! You smell lovely!” Yes, I thought to myself, smugly, yes I do. “Is it Olay?” she continued, “I’d know that smell anywhere” What?????? To my horror, I realised that my lovely friend had spoken the truth as I sniffed myself like a madwoman. I did smell like Olay. Like my grandmother. Who is 92. I had spent £100 to smell like a clean old woman. I sold the bottle on eBay the next day.

I might be wearing this perfume. It was in a vial marked only Floris Private Collection, and appears to be the only fruity floral in the group. Unfortunately, it does not smell like cherry blossom. Just another generic, abstract, sticky fruity-floral. Not for me.
