Japanese Cherry Blossom-lotion

This fragrance was so overplayed around 2005-2010 that my nose couldn’t take it anymore. Everyone and their grandma’s dog wore JCB. I just rediscovered the lotion and mist in my stash this week... and now that it’s not so commonly worn I can appreciate it for what it is. JCB is really nice! I had forgotten about that powdery, smoky, spiced musk in the base notes. It’s delicate, not heavy, but it has presence. The fragrance isn’t chokingly sweet; the apple and plum and cinnamon are just supporting actors for the woodsy note. This is very wearable by anyone. Would be stunning paired with a sandalwood or musk oil.

Fragrance description: "An oh-so-fresh blend of Japanese cherry blossom, Asian pear, fresh mimosa petals, white jasmine & blushing sandalwood" A very strong burst of tart cranberry fruit for the first minute (love). Then it turns a powdery floral similar to that in Beautiful Day (not so fond of). The scent doesn't lasts long, around 20 minutes. The lotion has alot of glycerine so it makes skin sticky, then after 10 minutes dries down to a smooth yet tacky powdery coating (silicones) that makes skin feel drier than before. Itches my skin. Not great for dry skin, sensitive skin, and the scent doesn't last long. I'm better off buying separate lotion and perfume from another line.

The smell is just wildly overpowering. Kill me now. It's like, "Why did I buy something that punches me in the face every time I open it?" Packaging is fine, lotion quality is standard Bath and Body Works.

My signature scent! This lotion is gorgeous. I love it so much that I even bought the body mist. The only downside however is that the scent doesn't last that long

The bed bath and body works Japenese blossom is a wonderful scent. My problem is the scent doesn't last . It's really important for me to have a fragrance lotion that last because I use it as an alternative to perfume.

I love Bath And Body Works and this sent it is the best Cherry Blossom sent ever

Amazing scent. Can be worn year round but I prefer the spring and summer. Nice and light but still detectable and just sweet enough I find the lotion to be light and refreshing.

Too overpowering/strong. Something in it, gives me a headache and makes me nauseous. So many people like it though.

I love exotic scents. This scent reminds me of a beautiful Japanese cherry blossom tree and it isn't an old lady scent nor a childish Strawberry Shortcake one. This is very moisturizing (like all Bath and Body Works lotions), and the moisture lasts longer than the scent but when I apply it before bed, it relaxes me. Definitely recommend.

One of my close friends buys this in sets for my birthdays and Christmas. She knows I love how it smells, and there's no way I'll be disappointed. For those wondering what friends may like from the Bath and Body Works line, this is pretty universal and worth a try.
