The Ever Cheerful and Merry Fragrance – Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Mist from The Body Shop9/23/2020 I have never come across a person who doesn’t like the scent of Cherry Blossom flowers from Japan. I know, in India no one gets to smell how the original cherry blossoms smell like in Japan. However, the versions that we get here are the ones that we have to do with. From body lotions to creams, body mists to perfumes, Japanese Cherry Blossom always wins the heart of fragrance lovers across the country and the world. Being no exception to this huge craze around cherry blossoms, I tend to reach out for every cherry blossom fragrance and the body mist from The Body Shop has been my longtime companion in this love for cherry blossom. Believe it or not this was my first Japanese Cherry Blossom fragrance so I cherish it more than any other brand’s version of this scent. So, here is every detail about this fragrance.
Packaging Every TBS body mist has their classic packaging of transparent cylindrical glass bottle with a black lid. The lids are usually made of very thin type of metal, but they are not super sturdy as they can come off easily. I love the fact that The Body Shop doesn’t use plastic for fragrances and glass bottles. To few people, this maybe an inconvenience as carrying a glass bottle around is risky. However, my bottles have been perfectly safe during my travels or regular visit to the office. So, this is never an issue for me. All over the bottle, there is a sticker with transparent floral patterns in black and at the center of the bottle, the name of the fragrance is written against a pink background. Overall, from the packaging perspective, I can give this fragrance 9 out of 10 strictly because of the flimsy lid and nothing else. Scent A classic cherry blossom fragrance is something you can never go wrong with. Same goes for this one. It is delicate, sweet, and floral fragrance. The top note in this body mist comprises cherry blossom petals, at the heart you get a hint of magnolia, while at the base you get a touch of hinoki wood accords. Together, they create a subtle and surreal fragrance that you will go sniffing all the way. It is an amazing fragrance that is great for sensitive noses. This will never give you a headache as it is mild, gentle and comforting to the senses. It is kind of a fragrance that can instantly cheery you up and make you feel happy. For the scent, I can give this fragrance 9 out of 10. It is kind of a safe fragrance to use and gift as well. Longevity and Silage This is where the fragrance’s rating in my eyes drops slightly because the lasting power for the body mists are not incredible. I have heard and read tons of reviews where the reviewer has mentioned about the lack of longevity in the body mists from The Body Shop. However, on my skin these last for something around 3hrs – 4hrs, which is great because there are several EDTs or eau de toilettes in the market with that kind of lasting power. So, I am not complaining much on this ground a lot. Yes, definitely if the lasting power and silage is worked upon, it will be great. The silage is decent but after a while people won’t recognize or smell this on you at all. After reapplication, definitely you get the same performance cycle from the start. For this category, I can give 8 out of 10. Quantity and Price Point All The Body Shop’s body mists come in 100 ml bottles and their prices vary. This one in particular is expensive as it retails for Rs. 1,195, which is quite a lot for a body mist. The price point would have been a bit better justified if the fragrance lasted or projected sufficiently for long hours. Since that is not the case here, it is overpriced. The fragrance is fabulous but the price should have been lesser. This is a category where I can give 6 out of 10. If you consider this to be lenient then I may say that their products are organically made or the elements are organically procured. Which is why, this is the least I can go for them. After all, organic stuffs are expensive. Final Thoughts Hm... My final thoughts is not hard to guess I think. The cons are the price point and longevity, but I am ready to overlook that as the scent itself is stunning. So, I would recommend you to try this fragrance for sure. However, be a smart buyer and order in your fragrance during the discounts that keep on running on The Body Shop’s website. You can enjoy their fragrance and save some money as well. |
