Opened it on a gray morning and suddenly it’s spring in the room—that cherry blossom note is soft, not syrupy, and the whole thing wears close to the skin for hours. Four generations of perfumery clearly shows in how balanced it feels.

The little cherry-blossom note is so delicate and airy, it genuinely feels like standing under a blooming tree in the spring. I get a good six hours on skin, which is plenty for a daytime spritz. It's become my go-to for when I want something soft but not at all generic.

The opening spray is pure spring in a bottle — that cherry blossom note is delicate but somehow lasts most of the day on my skin. I’ve worn it to work and got a compliment from a stranger in the elevator.
