Brilliant Cherry Blossom

Very girly and sweet in a fresh way, like a floral laundry softener. The notes are blended together very cleanly. It has a slightly powdery finish. It's definitely a fruity-floral, but no specific fruit. Very stylized vs natural. Every cherry blossom inspired fragrance smells kind of fake, but this one is quite obvious about it. I love the purple bottle. Spring seems like the only appropriate time to wear this. It's too cloying for summer, too soft for fall, and too fresh for winter. In the spring, it evokes happiness and serenity. It's a softer fragrance, so it wears about 2 hours on skin. You can make it last 4 by over spraying on clothing. On first spray, it might smell too sweet but it quickly balances itself. Layering: you can layer this with Very Sexy Euphoric, which is heavier due to tonka, more complex with a sour facet, and can be worn in winter. Comparisons: It's nothing like the BBW Cherry Blossom line, with its powdery, perfumey sandalwood base. Cherry Blossom (flanker) has a mellow and juicier summer fruitiness. Cherry Blossom Forever is delicate and wispy, not as cloying and fruity. This mostly reminds me of a Japanese mist, Fiancée Sakura. Except Sakura has an apple type smell instead and transforms into a shampoo-y smell vs laundry softener.
