How do the English imagine Japan?!
"Cherry Blossom" by Floris could almost be called a colonialist perfume, without meaning to imply that in a derogatory way...
Here, the British interpret the Japanese cherry blossom in a very strict, routine, and professional manner... and so far, it works. It just lacks any flashes of inspiration, it lacks passion and fire, fizz and the highest quality to avoid blending into the uniformity of UK perfume culture. I think perfumers from the land of the rising sun could do this much better, more teasingly and engagingly. "Cherry Blossom" is a nice companion for the office and leisure. It never smells bad at all. Not even remotely. But it also clearly lacks that certain something. Easily wearable. Quickly forgotten, fleeting, a missed opportunity for an olfactory bridge. Quite a bit dull and banal.
Bottle: Floris & fine
Sillage: more delicate than smart
Longevity: 3-6 hours, very temperature-sensitive
Conclusion: solid cherry blossom juice with British self-assurance and Asian simplicity. It's okay. But it hardly enchants. I love its powdery makeup-like quality the most during parts of its existence.
