Cherry blossom
Prunus serrulata
In Japan, the blossoming of the cherry trees, or sakura, is celebrated every spring during hanami. These white or pale pink flowers have a very faint scent and yield no oil: perfumers recreate a delicate floral note, often slightly fruity and almond-like.
What it brings
A light, powdery floral freshness.
