Visiting Bonn...
... I walk through Breite Straße towards Heerstraße in early April under these wonderful blooming cherry trees. Everywhere there are pink and white blossoms both on the trees and on the street. The whole street smells of these wonderful flowers. The woodiness of the trees blends in. It is simply wonderful. I look for a café to let the scene sink in.

Upon applying this fragrance, the first thing that hits you is a citrusy note with a light floral cherry scent. There’s also a fruity floral element, and the cherry makes its presence known here. It adds a bit of woodiness and a powdery note from the iris.

The longevity is good and the sillage is average.

Here we have a unisex fragrance that is well-suited for ages 18 and up, even though this perfume is already quite mature. It makes a good impression on warm and hot days. During the day, it is a nice discreet scent that works well at school, university, in the office, during a meal, while shopping, or simply when meeting at a café. In the evening, I find this fragrance less noticeable as it is quite reserved and will get lost in a crowd.

Those who enjoy a citrusy floral woody powdery cherry scent will find this quite appealing, and the price is very reasonable for a niche fragrance.

Delicately scented pink petals - freshly washed hair
Once again, the opportunity to describe my impression of a fragrance completely uninfluenced by other comments.

With an order, I had a sample of "English Cherry Blossom" sent along. Therefore, I cannot provide any information or evaluation regarding the packaging and the bottle.

The first impression of the scent - freshly washed, still damp hair. Don’t ask me where the association comes from. Whether someone in my circle uses a shampoo that goes in this direction, or I noticed it at the hairdresser's. It could also be a hint of hairspray that lingers. Which is definitely not meant negatively.

The scent starts fresh, green, citrusy, with well-perceptible cherry blossoms, slightly sparkling - piercing, but by no means disturbing. I suspect this comes from the green mandarin.
Over time, a pleasant fruity sweetness becomes noticeable; whether this comes from blackcurrants and black cherries, I cannot confirm. However, what stands out is a slight bitterness behind the blossoms that could remind one of the aroma of blackcurrants.
The cool, sparkling aspect fades a bit over time and transitions into a slightly warmer heart note.
The fragrance has not shown much development on my skin; it simply diminishes gradually over time. The listed cherry wood in the base remains hidden from me, and the iris could also be a figment of my imagination since it is included.

All in all, a beautiful floral scent with initially a lot of volume. The longevity and sillage are, in my eyes, perfectly fine for this price range.
The fragrance is noticeable throughout the day and can be perceived at about half an arm's length after approximately 6 hours.

I am absolutely not a fan of prescriptions/recommendations for whom a fragrance is intended. Most men would probably say it smells feminine; of course, it’s called "English Cherry Blossom," and the blossoms dominate this scent. In my opinion, everyone must decide for themselves. For my part, I find it very appealing and will definitely order a small bottle for spring and early summer.

Addendum:

Unfortunately just discovered, but I find it quite interesting in principle. Whether it belongs here in a comment, I am not sure, but why not.

Juicy, not-medicinal cherry backed by soft florals and warm, dry woods. A more casual, playful cousin of AdP Sakura.

Too little of everything, but enough of that. Diffuser fruit mix in green-orange-red without scent development, which quickly runs out of steam.

The cherry blossom just peeked around the corner shyly. I mainly smell wet wipes, sweet powder, and wood.

Surrounded by pink blossoms that release their fragrance, I blissfully bite into the fig that is so juicy, the scent blends with the flowers.

At first very sweet and artificial. Luckily, it fades quite quickly and then leaves a soapy scent for a while. It didn't blow me away.

Delicate cherry blossoms? Missed the mark. Fruity hairspray stings the nose. Becomes a bit milder and more harmonious, overall very artificial.

Green-fruity scent for warmer days with a light sweetness. Cherry blossoms are hinted at. Sillage is rather weak. Still like it.

Fresh green, sweet fig, with other berries on a lacquered table, first loud, then light and watery, and then it's gone...

Initially fresh with grass, lemon, and cherry. Occasionally there's a plastic smell. Fruity and floral.
