Too one dimensional
Cherry in Japan starts out sweet and heavy. Not only do I smell cherry, but it also smells of berries. It stays heavy and sweet for about 3 hours, after that this fragrance tones it down to a pleasant cherry blossom and jasmine combination. The heavy start is honestly too cloying for me on hot summer days, so I'd prefer to wear Cherry in Japan in spring.
While it smells very pleasant once the heaviness fades away, I still miss a little something. It smells a little one-dimensional, almost focussing solely on the smell of cherries. Of course, this should not come as a surprise. However, it could have used a bit more notes to give it that little something extra! Now, it's almost generic smelling if not for the top stage of heavy sweetness. I don't smell the tonka bean at all, and it could have used some vanilla in the dry down. And perhaps another flower note?
But alas, the purpose of this fragrance is to smell like cherries. Which it does. So it does what it's supposed to do. I enjoy wearing Cherry in Japan, however I can also see myself getting bored with it.
