I like the scent. It's my fav scent from B&B. This lotion is ok though. Too heavy for me. I know some poeple say the thicker it is the more hydrating it is. But for me, I don't like the poreclogging, oily, really thick feeling.

I love this cream! For me, it is not too thick and moisturizes well. What surprised me the most was that the scent is very long-lasting and I love that. <3

Initially, I was drawn to this simply because of the design on the tube. It's definitely a plus that it smells so wonderful. Usually, floral scents are a turn off for me but this one is an exception. You get a subtle sweet smell also with the floral scent. I apply this sparingly since it can take on an overly perfumey scent. Since this is a body cream it's thicker than the lotion, but the texture isn't overly greasy and hands are left velvety soft. I love it so much that I sent a bottle to my sister in China.

At first, I loved this particular scent. It was refreshing at first but then the over powering perfume smell overwhelmed the subtle floral scent. I only use just a little bit or else it gives me a headache. But that's just me being sensitive to perfume smells. If you like that strong perfume scent than I'd recommend this for you.

I agree with pretty much everything that's been said about the delicious scent and great moisturizing benefits (even up here in the mountains of Colorado) without being sticky. My ONLY complaint is the packaging. They really need to come up with a better method; because the cream is so thick, the last little bit gets that toothpaste-effect and it's so hard to get out especially after a shower. The bottles are a better idea for thick lotions, I think.

Along with jasmine and gardenia, this scent is a staple for B&BW. Stock up on the semi-annual sale. These are my HG for moisturizing dry skin in the winter time. I receive compliments for the jasmine and cherry blossom scent too.

I absolutely love Cherry Blossoms, so when I saw this range of products, I knew I had to have them. I started off with the body spritz, which I love. It has a warm, floriental scent to it that just hugs the skin, with light floral notes, but not overpowering by any means. The splash sent me on a frenzy to own the rest of the line. This is probably my least favorite of the lot. I don't find the scent that true to the splash or the edp, and I find the cream to be heavy and not that absorbent. I love the packaging which is the only reason for me keeping this right now.

FYI, 2x a year B&BW does a huge semi-annual sale where you can get fantastic deals on this.

I am in love with this lotion. Love the subtle scent, and it lasts all day even if I don't use anything else. Extremely moisturizing also. I always get compliments when I wear this lotion!

I have a signature scent, but I sometimes cheat on it with bath and body japanese cherry blossom. It started with a bubble bath, and I loved the scent so much I purchased this body cream. I soon realized if I use the cream on my legs and arms in the morning, the subtle scent lasts all day. I now do that instead of my signature on lazy weekend days and some casual days at work.

i only buy BBW things on sale as I can go through one so quickly (1 TUBE generally lasts me about 2 months of daily full body use), and I got this tube for $3. I love the subtle scent and the thick lush texture of this cream as with all BBW creams. I have been using it daily and am wishing that I bought another one at the last sale. Guess I have to wait for June!

This is by far my favorite bath and body works scent. Subtle, and layers well with almost all of my perfumes. Most everyone loves the scent, so it makes a great gift too! I prefer the cream over the lotion because it seems to moisturize my skin better, and also I like the container better than the bottle too!

I got this product after smelling it on a friend who smelled absolutely divine. On me, at first, it was nice. Very moisturizing. But after an hour or so, I got a huge migraine from the fragrance. Tried it again this morning, and the same thing happened. So, great moisturization, great fragrance, but just not for me. Still smells great on my friend, though. Oh, and georgous packaging!

First and foremost, let me say that imo, the Eau de Toilette (EdT) of Japanese Cherry Blossom is a "must try" in order to really appreciate the depth of this BBW creation. I find the BBW body creams and body butters exceptionally moisturizing, but sort of linear when it comes to the overall BBW scent in some cases. To a small degree, this is one of those cases. This "issue" is not exclusive to BBW, but is sometimees the case with perfume "line extensions" (lotions, shower gels, etc.) Anyway, about the scent...BBW hit a grand slam - home run with this scent, IMO. It's a really beautiful "flori-ental" that blossoms beautifully on my skin. It's sensual, but not overly sexy, so it can be worn daytime. It's not heavy, so it can be worn year-round. It's the epitome of versatility imo. Well, let me tell you, I ended up buying the body cream, an EDT, daily scrub, shower gel, etc. I absolutely love this scent. What a jewel!

This cream has a woody, musky, yet floral scent that is not too feminine and girly like a lot of BBW scents are. This is one of the few BBW scents that I like and find wearable. As far as the moisturizing effects of the cream - it is very think, yet absorbs quickly and keeps my skin moisturized all day. I keep a bottle on my desk at work and rub it into my hands when I need a little pick me up. I hope this one is never discontinued.

This is my favorite BBW scent, by far. This is a sweet floral, powder and soft musk fragrance. I have gone through 2 body creams back to back, and that is saying alot, because I usually tire of a scent about half way through. The body cream version of this is the best....it is thick,non greasy and moisturizes really well. I perfer the cream because it seems to smell sweeter than the splash, which i find smells more "musky" and not as sweet. The scent lingers throughout the day and layers well with alot of my other perfumes. It reminds me of dk cashmere mist and vs heavenly(some my favorites, as well.) Beautiful scent and gorgeous packaging. I would repurchase this over and over, I think it has become a staple in my fragrance collection. :)

I bought this product because the gorgeous red metallic tube embossed with white cherry blossoms would look good on my dresser next to Urban Decay's Red Hot body powder. I wish I could give the packaging 6 lippies - it's such a pity they changed it. As to the contents, the scent is pure sandalwood and subtle, clean musk with a very light cherry blossom hint on me. I've been using this all of Spring 2009, and it's beautiful, much lighter after sitting on my dresser mostly unused a for a couple of years, but still too strong to mix with perfumes. The cream itself moisturizes well, but for an actual body cream to use in spring I think something like Enchanted Orchid would be better.

The cream is nice and rich and I just love the metallic red bottle it comes in. Beautiful packaging. It's a very unique fragrance, and very popular, so you run the risk of smelling like a lot of other women.

The only thing I don't like is that it has mineral oil in it, and that clogs pores. You would think BBW would do a better job on choosing higher quality ingredients for their creams.

A lot of people don't like this scent, but I love it. I don't even need perfume...just the body cream. I use this for the evenings when me and my husband go out...he loves it. It's different from my daytime scent...sort of musky.

I'm currently wearing this as I write and trying to fight off an enroaching headache. I really really wanted to like this, with the luxe packaging and the very good moisturizing. Huge fan of BBW, even some of their stronger scents, but this one takes the cake. As someone said, the scent dries down FAST and in an hour, the lovely plush exotic complex sexy-sweet scent has disappered, leaving me with a horrid cheap old-lady/ washroom detergent scents. Why, oh why!!!??? Is it just me and my chemicals? anyway i'll try the body splash. i guess if i put it on my clothes, the scent wouldn't be so altered.

I am in LOVE with this scent. I'm so glad I purchased it online even though I had never sniffed it in the store. It's a warm floral that kind of reminds me of Burberry Brit. The cream is actually moisturizing, too. I can't rave enough about this product!
