12 Cherry Blossom Perfumes That Are Springtime In A Bottle
Say hello to your new fave floral scent.
From sultry cherry perfumes to dark “cherry cola” hair colors, it’s clear that juicy cherry motifs and deep red hues have owned the trends over the last few months. However, come spring 2024, those themes are taking a much softer turn.
Enter: cherry blossom perfumes, which of course, take cues from the vibrant, pastel pink trees that bloom throughout March and April.
Unlike the decadently succulent aroma of scarlet cherries, pale pink cherry blossoms are, first and foremost, a truly floral scent. More subtle and sheer than a full-bodied rose perfume, they are known to have an almost lilac-like quality, made even more unique by their sugary sweetness (often compared to the smell of vanilla or almonds).
When found in perfumes — like the ever-popular Jo Malone London Sakura Cherry Blossom Cologne or even the nostalgic Japanese Cherry Blossom Mist à la Bath & Body Works — the result is classically fresh and feminine.
In need of a fragrance refresh ahead of the springtime months? Below, find 12 cherry blossom-filled perfumes that will instantly transport your senses to a garden of pink-hued trees in full bloom.
