The Italian kiss of the cherry blossom
When I leave my apartment building to go to the bus, I pass a short path lined with four trees. Inconspicuous, a passageway through the maze of high-rise buildings. But for about three weeks a year, the path between the trees turns into a sea of pink blossoms and announces exultantly, "Now it's really spring!"
What I enjoy here with us mostly quietly for me alone, is in Japan a giant event. The annual cherry blossom and the associated Hanami festival is so important to the Japanese that even in the blossom season daily in the news is reported by the degree of opening of the flowers in the various areas of Japan and at the end, in addition to the weather map also a "cherry blossom front" map is inserted, which shows where the pink blossom dreams are just in full bloom
Again, so much culture board in advance of the scent description I, know, but I just can not resist sharing interesting with you, sorry, not sorry.
But yes I come now also to the fragrance. Acqua di Parma interprets the cherry blossom, how could it be otherwise, with an Italian/Mediterranean flair. The prelude of the fragrance is the citrus, which, I am now already accustomed to the brand, again very natural effect, although these are not as intense compared to the blue Mediterraneo series, they are here only companions and not star of the perfume.
With the citrus then also quickly mixes a cherry note, this initially reminds more of the fruit than the flower, but in the course of the perfume it becomes more and more floral.
Then in the heart we have a really beautiful cherry blossom. Delicate, sweet and gentle, it envelops and caresses one, like a pink silk scarf that gently brushes the face. This fragrance does not shout out its existence, it does not need to. Like the delicate pink flower whose name it bears, it is a stylish understatement. To put it in colors: it is pink, but not squeaky candy barberry pink, but an elegant gossamer pink hue. This then also becomes paler and paler towards the end, when the white musk mixes into the fragrance and lets it fade gently.
