Hana Sakura

"もろともにあはれと思へ山桜花よりほかにる人もなし" Hana Sakura, a drop of dew hanging from the tips of white petals. This vase of Hana Sakura is a gift from Shiseido to the members of the Hanatsubaki-kai. The bottom has the wording of the year '63. (The other time was '88.) Sakura are always the first symbol of Japan. Even if there are sakura growing in other countries, people subconsciously equate Japan with sakura. Whether at the national, spiritual or aesthetic level, Sakura and Yamato are inseparable. As a kind of flower that we know well but do not actually smell in our daily life. The perfumer has a lot of room to play. Usually, taking into account the preferences of Asian consumers, sakura-themed fragrances capture the impression of sakura - pink, light, fragile. Various fragrance products of sakura can be seen everywhere in Taiwan and Japan, and are widely loved by consumers. On the incomparably clear lake, in the wind and in the white mist, the ripples of the water expand in circles, and the petals fall. Hyacinths are well-defined. White rosin and aldehyde incense teamed up and pushed the hyacinth together. The hyacinth jumped out. I thought to myself, isn't it sakura? The pungent odor dissipates quickly. Lilacs with no sweetness, the astringency of narcissus bulbs, and the clean, clear and moist daffodils of daffodils have various characteristics, highlighting the fragrance of sakura before and after. The weak posture that blooms alone on the branches is reserved for the back tone. The scent of cherry blossoms develops along the lines, narcissus, lilac, and then the main character sakura. The whole process has no clear turning points and no layers. It is a completely artistic Japanese atmosphere experience. sakura is a powdery fragrance with soft green notes. You could say it doesn't have enough character, but the sakura smell pleasant, full of Shiseido's gentle qualities. Western perfumes, some like Serge Lutens, smell full, and some are mellow and elegant like Guerlain. Shiseido's perfume is light and fuzzy, like a faint trace of ink dragged across a piece of paper. The Japanese feel pity, lament, and feelings for the changes of all things in the world, so there is an aesthetic context of "matter sorrow" that belongs to Japan. The aroma of sakura is fleeting, like sakura, like a lifetime. I have seen sakura in the sky in Japan, and the pink flowers are raining on the body in piles. Although I forgot where I saw the sakura, the sakura can bring me back to the mood at that time.
