For those who are picking up leather/suede/saffronic notes, this is likely coming from the osmanthus which can either go fruity/creamy or leathery. I have not tried Sakura, but I HAVE tried OJ Osmanthus, and her interpretation does go the leathery route.
Sakura is a beautifully soft and clean sweet floral perfume, with a gorgeous dry down. It opens with bright citrus, bergamot, lime and mandarin combine with a blast of pink pepper alongside a hint of dates and saffron. Ambiguous green notes become present on skin, surrounded by a bouquet of airy florals - mainly rose, as well as a gentle incense. The notes listed on fragrantica are very different than the official listed notes. The base takes the sweet rose from the heart, and deepens it with vanilla, cardamom and woods. Oud is an officially listed note, however I don’t find this very apparent. Sakura is a very pretty fragrance, easy on the nose and easily enjoyable. It’s very nice, but quite gentle and from the official notes listed I would have expected a bit more depth and character. Intensifying the oud, dates, rose and frankincense would’ve rendered this a truly great fragrance.
Imo, smells a nicer version of Dior Sakura. cleaner original smell of it with a soapy undertone usually found in OJs
