Cherry In Japan

i've had this perfume for years and forgot to review it on here lol oops. i always whip this one out for spring, which it's perfect for. today is a dark and snowy day and i'm in a very pink mood right now, so i decided to throw it on because why not. well, i am pleased to say that this is also perfect for winter! i actually think it could be even more appealing for winter when it's a dark and depressing day out. i have a feeling it would also layer really well with a fluffy sweet vanilla, as long as they didn't become too sweet together. i'd have to try it. *edit- I was right. It’s absolutely amazing with AG mod vanilla! about the actual scent i get from it/on my skin: delicious, easy cherry blossom. i don't get the fruit cherry at all, which is what i expected, so i'm not disappointed. it's sweet and pink and happy. i used to think it smelled kind of like a fruit gummy lol. i can see why people call it shampoo-y, and yeah i kind of agree, but that's not a detractor for me. any perfume that has like 3 or less notes is probably gonna give shampoo. it is pretty fresh too, i wouldn't disagree if someone called it aquatic. so overall, if you expect a crazy and unique masterpiece, this isn't gonna satisfy you, and that's ok. but if you want a fairly simple and sweet scent then you'll be happy. it does kind of fade fast and not project well enough for the price in my opinion though. if it were like $10-$20 cheaper i wouldn't mind as much. i mean, i did get the roller first and then get a full bottle, so i like it enough for that!

Escada summer editions usually aren't my thing and are too sweet for me, but I usually test them. I saw this one in Superdrug and was curious about it, as it didn't seem like the usual. I liked it enough to buy a 100ml bottle, which was all they sold. It isn't particularly sweet to my nose, but it's definitely a floral. The cherry blossom is very prominent and the jasmine gives it a freshness that I can't really describe, as it's not what I'd describe as 'clean'. The tonka is definitely there, but it blends with the cherry blossom very nicely. I don't get any fruitiness from it and if the scent wasn't from this line, I wouldn't think it was aimed at a particularly young market, unless most of their other offerings. I didn't love Cherry In The Air, but that was very fruity to me. Besides their names, there isn't really a similarity on me. I haven't smelt anything particularly similar, despite it not seeming like a unique scent. The scent itself is very pleasant, the longevity on my skin is about 3 hours and stays on my clothes for about 12 hours, but the sillage is poor. It's not a skin scent, but I wouldn't say it was moderate either. Having said that, only one Escada fragrance was better than this one for performance and it was sickly sweet. I don't get a particular season out of this one. It's quite a linear scent and nothing screams summer about it. I think someone of any age can wear it, in my opinion.

I was looking for a playful, lighthearted summer fragrance. I walked into Ulta and bought Cherry in Japan on impulse. The cherry accord and jasmine were so refreshing on that hot, sticky day. I can see why there is some confusion about it not smelling of cherry blossoms. Despite the package and promotional materials, there is no cherry blossom in this scent! The website describes it as "cherry accord," and I agree. Not fresh cherries though, it reminds me of maraschino cherries or Swedish fish. I've noticed a trend in the perfume space, [fruit + blossom] can just mean [a hint of fruitiness + something vaguely floral]. It bothers me that this is normal practice. For the sillage and longevity, I wish the price had been a bit lower. It was $35 for the travel vial. I think $25 would have been more appropriate. At 30 years, maybe I'm too old for this scent. I don't care, it makes me happy.

Cherry in Japan gets the job done for a young girl or a teenager. It is a 1st perfume kind of perfume. Pretty, girly and bright. Smells like cherries, cherry blossoms and vanilla. Edit: 8/4/22 I revisited this again today while at Ulta. I was sampling a few other things and had to stay in the store do to a very heavy downpour. I ended but buying a small bottle of it. I felt a little weird buying it because I know that I'm not the age demo for this fragrance. I'm a 51 yr old woman. But I found myself really liking it. It's the kind of perfume you wear on a summer day when you and a bunch of friends go out for ice cream. It is sweet but not sickening, there is a freshness to Cherry in Japan. I find it very easy going, fun, and sweet w/out being syrupy. Young yes but for those that are still young at heart, and I am that. Thumbs up on this youthful little gem.

I found a 100 ml of this at Ross for $30 and since it's been on my wishlist I didn't hesitate to pick it up. I'm soooo glad I did! This is for fruity clean lovers. Initially on first spray get the Swedish fish red gummy candy some are comparing this to which I love but after it dries down I get a clean fruity cherry red soap. I'm not really getting any floral in this. This isn't a unique or groundbreaking fragrance especially with the performance being equivalent to many body sprays. (I get about 3 to 4 hours with this on) it's also not a projecting strong fragrance. I've really been gravitating towards this for a bedtime scent since it's so cheerful and fun without giving me a headache. I don't ever pick up back ups but I'd definitely snag one more bottle if i see it again at a good price since it's limited edition.

Surprisingly, this is one of the best 'food' gourmand perfumes I own. It's so sweet in the opening, like sweedish fish, but also very floral on the dry down (cherry blossom). Fortunately, this scent is very reminiscent of Cherry in the Air which was my fav Escada scent. It isn't exactly the same, but close enough for me to buy two bottles (one for a back-up). Obviously, with Escada summer perfumes, the performance isn't great. The longevity is around 4 hours and projects within the first hour, so you'll need to re-apply it throughout the day. My main issue is that Cherry in Japan is just a limited edition, meaning it'll likely be discontinued by next year, as with all limited edition Escadas; guess that explains buying my back-up bottle.

Fresh, fruity, a bit sweet, yummy and flirty. This projects so beautifully I chased down a department store employee to ask what she was wearing. This is such a fresh, youthful and pleasant scent to be around. Berry/fruity and the cherry is a fresh, bright red cherry, just like the ones pictured on the pretty box 🍒. Lovely calm jasmine and soapy-clean magnolia balance the fresh/fruity notes alongside a bit of tonka. Casual and linear. Moderate/strong projection/longevity on me, still there after 6-7 hours. These are the notes listed on Notino's website: Top: Cherry, mandarine, pear Middle: Jasmine Base: Tonka, sandalwood, marshmallow

I really love Escada summer limited edition frags. But in the last years instead of fruity, they have gone floral, which I don't really like, cause florals can be a bit bitter on me and I am not into bitter perfumes. But this one... It is similar to Cherry in the Air that was my first love of Escadas summer perfumes. It is not as strong, but the sweet scent of the Cherry In The Air is in there. I sprayed it in the store. I didn't get any manly drydown after. I will buy it next month and will add something, if I will have anything else to say after owning the whole 100 ml bottle for a while.

Shoutout to everyone who hoped it’s close to Cherry in the air 🙌🏻 it is almost 1:1 for me, just a bit more fruity and with a more sour cherry. The older perfume was more marshmallowy and I preferred it. But this is very Escada: sweet, slightly artificial, fun fruity summer fragrance. I burned through a small bottle of this on my summer vacation, it’s just fruity enough to not sicken you in the heat and it faints away just when it should. I do feel like this is more suitable for the younger audience though (younger than me sadly 😬)...

I loved Cherry in the Air, so I tested Cherry in Japan today, on a cold winter day (-12°C). this is not a cherry fragrance, the delicate cherry blossom has the main role. So Cherry in Japan is a floral fragrance, and a very fresh and pretty one. The fragrance's smell of spring enchanted me to buy it. I agree with almost everything that passionata20 wrote, but I still like this scent a lot. It's definitely not unique, but it's pretty enough to brighten a dark and cold day. Very easy to wear, at work or at home.

I’m sorry but I still have a little bit (literally a few drops) of the Cherry in the air and Cherry in Japan in my opinion smells exactly the same. They are 95% similar. Only difference is maybe the fact that Cherry in Japan is a bit sweeter. Love both of them. My favourite Escada is Thai sunset for sure and i recently managed to buy it again. :) I also liked Miami Blossom, Born in Paradise, Agua del sol and of course Cherry in the air (if someone wants to know my taste to compare).

Wow, this is actually beautiful! It’s light and fresh, a little bit sweet in the dry down. Very feminine, inoffensive and light enough to be perfect for spring and summer! It’s not strong, it’s not overpowering, it is soft and airy ... it doesn’t really last more than a few hours on my skin, but I will just carry a bottle of it in my bag and reapply throughout the day. The fragrance is beautiful, I highly recommend. 😍

this is the first perfume where i had the in-store experience of immediately falling in love and purchasing. it smells like sweet maraschino cherries and genuinely smells juicy, i cannot get over it! perhaps that is why i am so forgiving of its lack of lasting power. after i spray it on, i can guarantee that an hour or two later it will completely disappear. a slice of bliss for just a short while of time.

I LOVE this!!!!!! The cherry is prominent, but not in the sickly sweet cherry candy way, while it's still sweet. It's warmer and deeper than I'd expect from a scent like this. I like wearing this at night but works very well in the day too!! The longevity might not be great but it stays on clothes for more than a day

For me this smells like A sweeter version of Escada cherry in the air. So I Wonder if the notes are listed right? Or then there must be something wrong with my nose 😅😅 Cherry in the air was my favourite, this is the second favourite of Escadas ❤️❤️❤️

I love it. It reminds me very much of Cherry in the Air that I LOVED. It is not as sweet, but still, that sweet, light cherry scent is there and it makes me happy (I'm 39 and I don't think it is like a shampoo, candy or anything childlike)

If you love this and want something that's longer lasting and a bit more complex, BTSO Indecent Cherry smells almost identical. I also had Cherries in the air at the same time and that one and this smelled exactly the same to my nose.

I'm not a fan of the boozy, mature cherry scents, like Lost cherry from Tom Ford, I want the truly artificial cherry drink kind of vibe, and this is it! It's sweet, but with a clean touch, like a fruity schampoo. Great for summertime.

That’s lovely! It’s a soft, musky and fruity cherry without overpowering sweetness. It has a nice balance between traditional cosmetic-y musk and playful fruitiness. For this price, I think it’s a really good scent!
