I love this scent in the antibacterial foaming hand soap. I am now so addicted to BBW scents! My other faves are Tangerine, Aqua Blossom, Coconut Cove, White Citrus and Apple Blossom.

A very popular scent, but it does get boring after a while. The wash foams up nicely and the smell really sticks to skin.

I just love this scent and the soap is actually a lot better than I expected. I usually choose creamy, moisturizing body washes as I have very dry skin on my body. After finishing a long favourite, the Dove moisture body wash, I just grabbed this shower gel as it was in my cupboard.
It smelled so nice and floral and it lathered wonderfully!
I felt refreshed after using this, and surprisingly, it did not dry out my skin!
My skin feels smooth and it gives the same results as any other moisturizing cream body wash.
I would recommend these!

I have a ton of mini bottles of this shower gel sitting under my sink from gift sets, but I never use them because I know this isn't my favorite scent. I finally decided to use one, and I do like it more than I thought I would. The shower gel does not smell like the lotions & sprays. I find the scent in the lotion too heavy and strong, but this shower gel smells much more perfumey. Like, if they tweaked the scent a little and made it into a perfume, it would smell like this. That probably makes no sense. It's a much lighter floral-y version of what you're used to Japanese Cherry Blossom smelling like. Anyway, since I can't explain it, I'll just say I like it. It lathers well and the smell lingers for a little while after you shower. BBW shower gel packaging still drives me nuts though. The lid always gets stuck, through no fault of my own, and I have to twist the cap open to use it. Not a big deal, but it always bothers me. In all, it's a nice shower gel. I won't run out to repurchase it, but I like it. If I could I'd give it a 3.5.

I love this! I understand why the shower gel gets the low reviews that it does, it smells nothing like the Japanese Cherry Blossom lotions, but those scents are too heavy for my taste, so for me the difference is a redeeming factor. The shower gel has a unique spicy scent, very warm, with a bit of woodsy earthiness to it, and none of the cloying sweetness or vanilla that bothered me so much in the lotion. (Some might find it a little masculine since it's not so sweet.) It has pretty amazing staying power for a shower gel too, I can still smell it in the evening from a morning shower, and I definitely had a date that went a little crazy trying to figure out what it was, and wouldn't believe I wasn't wearing perfume. I generally don't go for expensive shower gels, but this I've bought repeatedly. Enthusiastic 5 on this one!

My second favorite of all Bath and Body Works scents. I am also a huge fan of Velvet Tuberose, which is, sadly, scheduled to be discontinued. Like Velvet Tuberose, this is a very interesting floral that is not too sweet ir too, well, floral. It's not one-dimensional in the slightest, as other notes, namely some spices and musks really balance out the floral. This fragrance also has notes of rose, so I still get my rose fix that I will be missing once Velvet Tuberose is gone for good. I'm thinking I actually may like this one slightly better than that one, as it is, as I said, more complex. This is a scent that I believe could work for both warm and cold seasons, as the florals usher it into spring and summer, but the other notes make it deep enough for fall and winter. Same is true for daytime and evening too, I think, although, I would apply it lightly for the day, as the scent can get a little on the strong side and might be a bit too much for the day, but even at its strongest I don't find it irritating at all. But, as a good rule of thumb, always try scents before you buy them. Bath and Body Works stores are great about stocking "testers" in their stores of all their different scents in the multiple products they offer in each fragrance. So, I definitely recommend and will buy this again in many products. Maybe I'll splurge and get an EDT of this one too. I have one of Tuberose and have put the Twilight Woods one on my Christmas list, but as the EDTs are the most expensive of Bath and Body Works items, (though not at all exorbitant when compared with more luxury perfumers that their product is just as good as), I can't afford to buy to many right now. But it's definitely a possibility.

Its smells sexy...and it LASTS. I have used some fragrant body washes to find that after I've rinsed off...there is no more fragrance.
THIS is absolutely divine! I am going to look for the EDT i must have it!

Awwww lovely scent. It's perfect for summer or winter. It really doesn't matter. It smells sort of mysterious, which I like a lot. However, I noticed it's like $12 for the spray or lotion now. I don't know if the price went up or I just didn't remember correctly.

OK I rec'd this by mistake from a seller on Ebay, I ordered the original Cherry Blossom, but no biggy. I actually really like this. It's a nice floral scent, not big at all, very light. But the best part is that this stuff is amazing. Lathers so well and just alittle goes a long way. the bottle is the newer one, I really like it too. This made my skin so soft the next morning. Love it...

This review is for the jcb shower gel. I love this scent in all of the different products, but I like this one the least out of them all. Standard BBW shower gel as far as cleansing and level of scent (I happen to love BBW shower gels). I prefer the scent in the creamy body wash but like the texture of the gel for the summer months.

Sniffed from the bottle this smelled lovely, a light but deep floral, sweet and woody. Once used though it was just too perfumey for my taste. Very heady and overpowering, instant headache in the shower.

Ick, Ick, Ick......this scent just turns me off for some reason. I don't know what it is, but it's just not for me. I really love Bath and Body Works' shower gels, but this one makes me gag. For some super crazy reason I got the bright idea of finding out what this would smell like if I put it on the laundry.....at the beginning of the wash cycle, I dumped a small glob of it in a washcloth and tossed it in with everything else. I normally use unscented soap when I wash my bedsheets, but I wanted to try something different. I don't know why, but it totally smelled awesome once the sheets were dry. So....although this is not in my shower anymore, I do like to use it in the laundry to add a really different (but pleasant) scent to sheets and towels.

I have this in the Creamy Body Wash.This is a full-bodied, feminine fragrance. It smells like a cherry floral with a deeper oriental wood undertone. Relatively sophisticated for BBW. However,. this is a little too perfumey for me as a body wash. I might get it in the EDT, though.

I can definately understand how this scent may not be for everyone. It's described as a sensuous blend of Japanese cherry blossom, vanilla rice, oriental woods and delicate mimosa petals.
It just does something to me. I FAR prefer the Japanese Cherry Blossom to the Cherry Blossom.
So far I've only purchased the shower gel in this line, but I will repurchase this along with other items in the line.

This shower gel lathers well and leaves my skin softly scented. Although Japanese Cherry Blossom is one of my favorite BBW scents (and there aren't very many that i like), i don't care for it in shower gel form as much as i do the lotion, body cream, EDT or EDP. The shower gel has more of smokey edge that i don't care for but that i didn't really notice in the other product renditions. But it's fine for layering. I bought my second bottle.
