Sakura Eau de Parfum, from Acqua di Parma was released in 2019. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, and Pink Pepper, middle notes of Cherry Blossom and Jasmine, and base notes of Musk.
What you expect from AdP is outstanding citrus opening and Sakura has that, with a watery, juicy, nearly green effect (I often associate with fig) but it's heavily perfumed with a dominant cherry blossom right from the get go, I actually didn't realise just how much so on first spritz, but then this is laden with fresh cherry blossom. Very nice just a bit femme and a little too 'norm' and reminscent of air fresheners for me. This speaks more to the skill and quality of air freshner formulation that it does about this being a poor fragrance because it isn't. There's Nothing wrong with a functional fragrance and the floral musk and jasmine sambac (which isn't particularly prominent) just add to what is a very pleasant and good quality, light, summer floral. I'm wearing it at the height of Autumn and it's bringing a little sunshine to an otherwise miserable day.
