What does Sakura Imperial smell like?

Longevity and projection are both rated good, though only a small number of votes stand behind those ratings. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, which suits its unisex character.

The top carries Italian lemon, black pepper, Madagascan cypress and chamomile, with the lemon and chamomile giving a bright, slightly green freshness at the start. In the heart, jasmine absolute, apple blossom and Japanese cherry blossom lead, keeping the florals sweet and fruity. The base of raspberry blossom, tonka bean absolute and sandalwood settles into a powdery, creamy, lightly woody softness.
