Fresh and feminine

I had tried it for a couple of times, rhubarb from the begining was too harsh for me, but eventually i used to it. When that phase is gone, beautiful fresh bouquet comes to the stage. Cherry blossom, magnolia and peony, in fresh, citrusy surounding, perfect for spring and summer months. I really enjoy wearing it so much more than i expected. It is youthful, wearable all day long, very feminine and not cloying, light but there for a long time. I don't thing that it is made from some top quality ingredients, but for a perfume of that range it is very good!

Caution, Risk of Confusion: Vesna in Shibuya. Or Vojna and the Shiba

Aida looked at me expectantly. “These are your favorite dogs, right?”
“You mean Shiba Inus? Over 9000!” But I just couldn't grasp this gift; the connections refused to reveal themselves to me. A Karl? Is that supposed to be a Lagerfeld? A bit nervously, I fumble with the thick paper-like sticker that adorns the vessel with rounded corners and toss it back and forth between my hands.
Aida hands me a few lemons. “Sour makes fun!” She is right, as she often is; the wisdom of… no, the youth - goes back to none other than my little sister.
And yet. Tft tft = poke poke.
I didn't imagine it like this.
A phone call pulls me out of my thoughts. Like any normal person, I first google the number and then decide to call back.
“Is this Vojna? Vojna Vladimirovna?” “No. Vesna Volodymyrovna. You must have dialed the wrong number.” What kind of joke is this? “Oh. Please forgive me. These letters with special characters. Yes, indeed, Vesna. That fits. Please give me your customer number and date of birth so I can process your request.” “Excuse me, what?! You called ME.” “Oh, right! You don’t need to tell me your date of birth. Congratulations, Vojna!” “Vesna. V E S N A, like spring.” “Oh, my apologies. But you are a bit early for that.” “Ijaaaah, I’ve heard that one already, besides, it’s two months too late for Christmas. That’s just how it is. For some, it’s spring and there are crystalline pink flowers from Versace in the air, for others…” (In the background, Okean Elzy is playing… ‘What will be in the minds of young people tomorrow? One will have hope, another fear.*’)
For others, cities are confused with dogs, but the similarities are obvious:
Japan as the home of Shiba Inus and Shibuya. Has anyone ever seen a Shiba eat cherry blossoms? I haven’t, so I might assume that they don’t grow in Shibuya either.
But every dog loves to fetch sticks, including Yoshi, one of the cutest Shiba Inus in the world, regardless of what material these sticks are made of. You need patience with Shibas, but hours later it might happen that he not only brings back one stick but also a little extra. Stick Bros. He’s just a good boy. Aida nods. “A no-brainer that you can love!” Yes, at least one. Hopefully, spring won’t take too long to arrive. It’s cold.

*Translation Tshajbukoshka. Original: Okean Elzy - Ne tvoja vijna.

Memory of Selfless Love and Loyalty.

The perfume intrigued me with the name Tokyo Shibuya - this is a station where, in 1934 (during the lifetime of the dog), a monument was erected for the legendary dog Hachiko of the Japanese Akita Inu breed in honor of his loyalty and devotion to his suddenly deceased owner. Hachiko waited at the station for 9 years until he died on March 8, 1935.
Today, the Hachiko statue at Shibuya Station is a meeting point for lovers, and the image of the dog has become a symbol of selfless love and loyalty in Japan.
Furthermore, I have a dog myself, Naoko, of the Shiba Inu breed - a smaller version of the Akita Inu breed. My red sun!
When I saw the perfume in the store, I liked the smooth, round bottle made of thick glass that fit comfortably in my palm. Pleasantly refreshed by a beautiful water accord. And then a delicate heart of warm pink blossoms of cherry, peony, and magnolia opened up. A wonderfully light scent of pure spring water, falling into the petals...
This aroma in a bottle will live with me.
I applied the perfume to a scarf. I breathe in the cool spring breeze along with the floral scent. I remember Hachiko. March 8 is just around the corner. A little sad. We walk slowly along the embankment with my Naoko. I watch her tail wagging joyfully like a ring... And yet, life goes on.

I am a child of spring!

The title says it all and the scent is the program. I really, really like this perfume; after all, I am now using my third bottle of it. I bought it for the first time about 4 years ago and used it religiously afterwards. I chose it back then because I am fascinated by many Asian countries, including Japan. At that time, I wasn't very interested in fragrances, meaning I just wanted a pleasant, everyday spring scent.

The fragrance starts off very citrusy; to me, it initially smells strongly of grapefruit. The acidity of the rhubarb probably plays a role here as well. The aquatic notes soon make themselves known. After about 30 minutes on my skin, I am greeted by the Far Eastern floral bouquet. Finally, a fine, soapy musk comes into play. The scent is therefore many things: fruity, clean, floral, watery. It lifts my spirits and prepares me for the awakening of nature. Due to the watery note, it also suits a rainy day well for me.

Unfortunately, the longevity of Tokyo Shibuya is not so great, which is probably my only downside. However, if you "overspray" a bit or simply carry the fragrance in your bag/backpack, then you won't have a problem with that either. It’s also generally not a bad thing if some fragrances don’t perform too intensely. I have several acquaintances and relatives who work in the health field, including my mother-in-law. As far as I know, she is not allowed to wear perfume at work due to her job (which I can understand; not everyone likes strong and headache-inducing scents). Therefore, she also prefers "light" fragrances in her private life (her favorite is the White Musk body spray from The Body Shop, but she is currently also enjoying White Tea by Elizabeth Arden). However, four years ago, when Tokyo Shibuya had not been in my possession for long, I received a compliment from her that my fragrance, this very one, smelled very good. I have never received that compliment from her again since then. What I think I want to say with this is: It’s good that not every fragrance is a longevity beast, even if I would probably like it that way, and I finally know again what I want to gift my mother-in-law next.

3...2...1...Fight!

I love cherry blossom and everything I read about this perfume seemed to fit me...
So I wished for it blindly...
Since then it has been sitting in the closet waiting for a new owner, because as soon as we get too close, we scratch each other's eyes out, quite literally!
This scent bites and scratches like no other.
Nail polish remover would be too harsh a comparison, but yes, we just hate each other!
The longevity is at least quite okay, which has made it even harder for me.
