Spring in Tokyo
Had I tested this one blindly and had to match it with a country, I would have picked Japan for sure.

The first impression is inflammatory!
You sense this wonderful bright tea note paired with a citric nuance immediately, although I can't find anything citric in the pyramid. Soon after there is a soft floral note coming to life. I don't know if it's the cherry blossom or the cyclamen, however it stays decently in the background.
The vanilla in the drydown is slightly sensible as the blossoms.
Vetiver, oakmoss, laurel? One has to be patient to sense a tart, herbaceous note . On my skin it takes long for it to develop, but it's there.

What's left of it, is an impression of a freshly brewed cup of green tea, instead of a white one, with a dash of lemon and a pinch of vanilla sugar, drinking it in the middle of an asian garden.

To me 57 Tokyo Spring is soothing, but vitalizing at the same time. I assume it's the mix of floral and vanilla components with green, herbaceous elements. A very well done fragrance.

The longevity is very good, 6 - 7 hours, but the sillage lacks.
Edit: After nearly 10 hours the citrus note vanishing, making room for a smoky note.
57 Tokyo Spring now is unisex at the latest.

Oh dear...
The beginning is great! The refreshing white tea, lightly sweetened, and the delicate violet make my scent receptors practically leap with anticipation, along with the previous comments. Well, then it appears, the bay leaf, disguised as a clove! It stabs my nose and causes slight discomfort. Now one might hope that the cherry blossom would soften the whole thing a bit, but it comes across as so artificial to me that it only intensifies the nausea! I am terribly sorry, but at that point, I had to abandon the test and reach for the disinfectant!

I always feel uncomfortable when I write such a harsh critique, but how am I supposed to sugarcoat this?!

"57 Tokyo Spring" was on my wish list, the pyramid sounds so promising. However, I find this scent exceptionally unique.
I tested it for the first time blind and suspected Yuzu, the sour Japanese citrus fruit. I smelled something spicy that initially seemed a bit too dominant, but now I know it is the bay leaf. However, it retreats after a short time. I detected delicate flowers and something reminiscent of lemon balm, but not quite, something familiar to me. Then I remembered "No 30 Le Cherche Midi" and yes, it is Shiso, but used much more subtly. And then there is what I noted as oak moss during my second testing.
A very delicate, transparent scent, almost minimalist in the dosage of the many ingredients, not all of which can be individually identified. White, cautiously flavored tea, that is "57 Tokyo Spring" as well. The intention is perfectly captured: Spring in Tokyo and a fragrance that represents the Japanese scent tradition: Light, delicate, very balanced with a small sillage to not overpower the natural scent.
"57 Tokyo Spring" delivers what it promises, a wonderful light spring and summer fragrance with that certain something.
