So, I stand behind this as the masterpiece that it is...but I suppose even some of the best art doesn't hit everyone in a positive way... 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.

There are many superb Orientals like Shalimar, Emeraude, Samsara and Mitsuoko that are timeless and beloved perfumes. While Japanese Cherry Blossom by Bath and Body Works are nowhere near the level of sophistication of Shalimar, this is no less an Oriental. The fragrance might not last very long, and the projection and sillage is poor, but it's like a little breeze when you spray it, a light gust of wind from the Orient, blowing cooly on cherry blossom. In Japan, the cherry blossom is the equivalent to the rose in England; it's their signature flower. These fragrant flowers grow on trees caressed by winds and are found even in the gardens of the Imperial Palace. Everywhere in Japan you see the pink and white cherry blossoms remindng you where you are: in the Far East. This fragrance is subtle but it takes you to Japan for at least a couple of minutes. I found it sweet and comfortng, like drinking green tea under a cherry blossom and under a delicious breeze. 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. I do feel like it has gotten stronger and on the fruitier side, maybe to compensate for 2010s preferences. But overall it is still a classic millennium scent, pleasant, romantic, and not overly mature. I can't place it - the strength of a rose fragrance without smelling directly of roses. (I've yet to smell an actual cherry blossom, if they truly are this fragrant). Definitely evocative of one's actual perfume instead of a watery body splash. At first spritz, the spiciness is center stage. Definitely cinnamon, and I'm assuming the cedar and patchouli. Very challenging if you've only recently been introduced to JCB, but it's glorious in comparison to the swill they're charging money for these days. 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.

You can wear this to work, the office, school, University, a date, an outing with friends, the beach and so forth. Smells like it is best worn in spring and summer.

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. I was young when this was released to major popularity. Somewhere in the '00s, someone decided that these heady, musky yet sweet florals would be the base of future BBW scents following it, as well as the hallmark scent of at least the first half of the decade. Before they all started transitioning to the strangely full-onslaught sugar scents we have post-2004 to 2005.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! Japanese cherry blossom is a powerful, yet discreet fume to me that doesn't want to try too hard to get your attention. What I particularly in JCB like, is that it's there without being too much. What I smell is a mixture of fruity, floral,woody and gourmand. It really has the potential to be either! I sometimes think it smells like butter and marmalade on toast, while the other moment I smell something like a woody pomegranate, then something like combination of red apple and citrus (red apple and fortunately not green apple, that I dislike). It smells a little like cherry in the air, but much better and ladylike. It's almost ironic that I hadn't tried this perfume, as one of the icons of the house and I'm not a BBW hater! but better late than never.

love love love this one! so tart, creamy soft powdery and flowery with a slight noticable warmth sniffing near the skin. unfortunately does not last very long on my skin, I love also the oil wash, bodycream, satin mist, handcream and of course the incredible yummy roomspray of japanese cherry blossom. Oh man, when I was in my late teens and really early 20s, this was my end all, be all fragrance. I wore this scent to death for almost three years straight (and I wore nothing else, aside from Tommy Girl once in a while). After that, I developed an aversion to it, to the point of hating it for over five years. I wore out my love for Japanese Cherry Blossom for a long time.when i use the roomspray in our appartement i feel like in a japanese garden in spring full of cherry blossoms in bloom! My JCB is an old bottle of the body spray that I hung onto. I used to wear it with the lotion but it got to be too strong and overbearing for me. The EDT is absolutely AMAZING. I bought it brand new I believe, if not close to it. I know that after 10-15 years it has probably steeped a bit, and is a little more concentrated than it was when it was released. But I was surprised by how complex it was! As you can see from the notes, it had far more personality than the current retail offering. And it really does not disappoint. 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. 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.

Being that Japanese Cherry Blossom is such a popular scent, I have tried it numerous times. It is strange, but every time I try it I have a different reaction to it. I don't know if that has to do with the way the scent responds to my body chemistry or if it has to do with my mood, but there are days when I love it and days when I can't stand it. Am I the only one who thinks that this smells like shampoo out of the bottle? At first, I didn't like it but I agree with my brother, it smells cool. It reminds me of cold weather and rainy days at night. Then I put some on my skin and wow, it smells amazing! It's all about floral and fruity that is not cloying but rather comforting if you give it a minute. This is also that kind of mist that could be compared to expensive perfumes because it does not smell cheap to me. Yeah I know I said that it smells like shampoo but it's not like your typical shampoo. Expensive shampoo, maybe? Ugh, I'm bad at comparing but my brothers like this one. This is perfect to wear in cold weather but also all year round. I can say that it is distinct from all the mists of BBW. It smells amazing! I did say it twice even though it smells like shampoo before but I changed my mind. One of my favorites! Also, this stays on my skin longer than I expected unlike the other mists which is a plus.i wish the edt had this intensity and longivity as the roomspray. bought the luxe travel edt spray to reaply when i m out of home, small enough to get in every purse :) indeed a wonderful scent for springtime and summer!

Yes I know its marketed to a younger crowd and probably a bit of an immature scent for the true perfume snobs but what can I say? I like what I like and I this is a lovely scent for any woman whose chemistry meshes well with it.
