Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.

What does Sakura smell like?
It opens with the citrusy lift of mandarin orange, Calabrian bergamot and pink pepper. Towards the heart, jasmine sambac and cherry blossom take over, and the scent turns floral with a light fruity touch. Musk sits underneath, settling everything onto a sweet, creamy base.
Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin without crowding anyone. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits leisure, daytime and office wear. Most read it as feminine, though it also has a modern character. Acqua di Parma Camelia and Ex Nihilo Vesper Glitz have a close profile.
