Japanese Cherry Blossom 2011

Well, I was getting nervous because my JCB in the square bottle was running low and I have been treasuring this scent every fall. Well, the purchase of the "new" bottle was made and what can I say? It smells nearly identical to my square bottle; I'm so glad I was worrying for nothing. (I've written a review for the square bottle as well). I also might add that the body cream has fantastic throw and longevity and can almost be worn alone, it's so fragrant. There is something so deeply intoxicating about the marriage of florals with cinnamon/sandalwood accord that it smells spicy but fresh at the same time. Also the addition of fruit makes it very rejuvenating for my senses- the apple and pear work perfectly in windy, fall weather. For $34.50 this is honestly a steal! I constantly get complimented on this as it does something with my chemistry but honestly I feel that the composition itself is overlooked. It really is a fabulously constructed feminine perfume. It has such great balance and depth to it that when I wear it I really feel so comforted and don't want to reach for anything else. I'm in my 30's and love this scent so seriously this is a scent for any woman of any age (not just the teenies that B&BW targets) and I'm not embarrassed to say that I own and love Japanese cherry blossom forever! People seem always surprised when I tell them which scent I'm wearing too. Classic and well- done. I will say to Bath and Body Works that I hope this never gets discontinued and that they make a stronger incarnation of this with darker facets for the upcoming fall/winter season. It is absolutely gorgeous on its own but they did do a stronger, EDP version a while ago that I hope will come back as a special edition.

This is definitely a fragrance that I have been wearing on and off for at least 12 years. I remember when I first started wearing it because a friend of mine gave me a small size of the lotion and I really liked it. My best friend for whatever reason didn't really find it appealing because she said it smelled "weird and kind of like a boy". Now, I do have to say, that she's not completely wrong and she has grown to like the scent by the way. The only way I can truly describe how this fragrance smells is just intoxicating. It's masculine, feminine, sweet, earthy, spicy, fresh, floral, bright, muted, and just plain beautiful. I remember the older formulation of this fragrance and it is pretty sad to admit that it's not the exact same as it was before. The older formulation had a little bit more of an 'exotic' edge with a creamier base. But I do have to say, smelling them side by side they are very similar. I just wish Bath and Body Works and other fragrance houses would stop reformulating their iconic scents. I'd pay more for a better quality product, i'm just saying...

This is an intresting japanese cherry blossom, this has more depth than the Body Fantasies one. I really like the warmth to this perfume, it's really great for winter. I can smell the vanilla rice, incense, and cimminon the most. I can smell the other notes, but I feel they play a supporting role in this perfume. A few sprays go a long way. This can be a bit strong for me sometimes. It's really great for colder days. I would wear this day, and night time. Overall I give this perfume a 7/10.

I am a younger man and I rock this sometimes. I got it from my sisters table and told her I'm taking it, cuz its smell is magnificent. While I understand that its not really a men's fragrance, its woody enough after the dry down to still suit a dude. especially a younger more casual dude. however would i spend more than 25 on it, not really, if you could find a cheap one. its awesome

Did the stores stop selling the edt spray ? I don’t see it online
