Sour airy floral

The sakura fragrance I never knew I wanted! Sakura in full bloom doesn’t have a smell, yet this feels like the correct abstract watercolor painting of its odor.

Many western interpretations of sakura fragrances are bizarrely sweet. Thankfully, this perfume doesn’t follow that route. It reminds me of sakura-flavored snacks from Japan, which tend to be more doughy / pasty and strangely powdery, like crabapple flowers. The citruses (and there has to be something more!) add just enough sourness to make me think of springtime treats: pickled sakura leaves and blossoms. Combined with the light touches of green, it captures the spirit of sakura mochi, perfect to usher in the spring.

Sakura Ormonde jayne

Sakura comes out with citrus, spice And quite spicy green notes. That citrus sensation does not last long and gives way to almond and cherry notes. Next to osmanthus very notorio. La pink And violet I also perceive it on my skin but very soft. The drying is much more woody And creamy thanks to sandalwood, vanilla And tonka. A different perfume that has captivate me.

Bouquet of feminine florals

A very mouth-puckering citric start that had me stopping for a moment. Citrus fruits are dialed way up on the sour scale and less sweet than what I thought it'd be. Underneath that there's a spiciness that enhances the fresh aspect and a subtle green undertone. As it moves on, it starts morphing into an array of florals backed by freshness and a slight spicy tone. Florals are very spring-like and they have a subtle, fleeting fruity and sweet aspect to it that adds dimension to the scent. I can't make out any distinct flower among the bunch, but they do work together! Drydown starts leaning sweeter with some powderiness and a creamy, warm woody end note.

It's very lovely: a true feminine-leaning floral fragrance. I can't attest it smells realistic, like sakura blossoms, since I've never smelled one in real life, but this fragrance could be worn by any lady wanting to smell like a beautiful bouquet of flowers. For my part, I did find it lovely, but it's a like, not a love and I'm not a fan of the powderiness I smelled, so it won't be going into my collection. Still glad I got to try it out!

Icy florals melting into milk and pollen

With its crisp but milky florals, that first spray feels like a white-gloved waiter handing you a Bellini – fridge-cold Champagne poured over a puree of white peach – with a drop of cream added to aid digestion. Sakura arrived on a morning so cold that the bottle itself felt like handing ice. It was only later that I noticed that the colour of the bottle matches the emotional hue of its contents – at the bottom, a bright, clear layer of peachy osmanthus jelly, volatile citrus ethers, and muddled green leaves, at the top, a cloudy tint that might be almond milk blushed pink with cherry blossom.

Sakura borrows heavily from the Ormonde Jayne library, with clear reference to the bright, sunshiny osmanthus of Osmanthus, the tango between the lime peel and buttery gardenia cream of Frangipani, and even some of that green-tinged milkiness of the brown rice in Champaca. But it never once feels like a re-do.

I used to live in a city where apartment buildings were ringed with cherry trees, and to me, cherry blossom smells very light, fresh, and indeterminate. Their scent is delicate, with some nuances similar to lilacs, by which I mean they smell honeyed, green, pollen-y, and very slightly bitter or woody. But real cherry blossom doesn’t smell anything like its representation in commercial perfumery, where, being entirely a fantasy note and not a real material for perfumery, it is invariably interpreted in a heavily fruited, cherry-like, syrupy, and almondy fashion.

Sakura avoids this trap. It captures the sharp, fresh brightness of cherry blossom live from the tree, thanks mostly to a clever clustering of greenish, pollen-laden floral notes (cyclamen, freesia, water lily) and the woody, ionone-rich twang of violets. But make no mistake – the freshness does co-exist with sweetness. Someone, somewhere along the line decided that cherry blossom is predominantly sweet, so Sakura is amply cushioned with enough rose, sandalwood, tonka, and creamy white musks to align it with the collective idea of what cherry blossom smells like, i.e., soft, feminine, a bit powdery, and so on.

But never mind that. The real magic of this scent is at its melting point, where the fresh, sueded florals sink into the milk and pollen below. The combination of sharp and milky achieves the same sort of milk-over-ice, endorphin-releasing effect as Hongkong Oolong for Nez Magazine (bitter tea against milky floral musks) and Remember Me by Jovoy (fresh green leaves against steamy condensed milk). Alas, the glory of this moment passes quickly and the rest of the experience is more humdrum. That is to be expected, I suppose – some beautiful things are meant to flare brightly and then die out. But while its sillage is not immense, Sakura has impressive longevity on my skin, wafting subtle hints of sharp but milky floral essences for a good twelve hours or more. I highly recommend Sakura as a transitional spring fragrance, as it is crisp and invigorating enough to make you yearn for the new plant growth due any day now, but warm enough to brace you against the chill of March wind.

My current spring favorite

First of all: I consider Geza Schön to be one of those creative perfumers who often dare to do something out of the ordinary and are rightly praised for it. His Molecule series is proof of this.

Sakura is a reset button for me in the new year. Its green-citrus opening is invigorating, refreshing and cool. The heart of cherry blossom, violet, freesia and osmanthus opens completely on me after about 20 minutes and immediately brings its floral feminine softness. The bed of musk, tonka bean, sandalwood and amber is very pleasantly sweet and beguiling. The fragrance remains fresh, floral and draws you in.
All in all, it is my absolute cherry blossom favorite
