Something about the Japanese cherry blossom : The cherry blossom lotion has certain extracts that help to smoothen the skin and make it soft and naturally shiny. It cleanses the skin of harmful toxins and keeps it looking good and healthy. These benefits are further heightened when coupled with the sweet fragrance of cherries that comes from the lotion and from those areas of the body on which the lotion is applied. Japanese cherry blossom lotion has been present in the Japanese culture for many years.

It is a white thick lotion with a strong smell and gets aborbed in a jiffy.

Pros:

1. It is totally non greasy and gets absorbed instantly.
2. Nice easy to carry packaging.
3. The flip cap..which is very hygienic.
4. Part of their Signature Collection and one of the most widely sold ones.
5. Keeps skin moisturised the whole day.
6. The fragrance lingers on the whole day.
7. Not tested on animals.

Cons:

1. Has alcohol and parabens.
2. I know many people love this smell but I found it a bit overpowering for my taste. Since fragrances are personal choices I cant really comment..
3. Availability..not available in India easily and if available..would be more expensive coz of customs.

Overall rating- 3.5/5 (less coz of the smell)

Would I buy it again- If I get to I would surely…esp the Warm Vanilla Sugar, Black Amethyst, Twilight Woods..
