Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sakura EDP
A truly gorgeous, delicate cherry blossom floral, it's just a shame it lasts about as long as the blossom itself. Fleeting beauty for those who appreciate the ephemeral.

Our Verdict - Cherry Blossom Serenade EDP
A budget reading of Acqua di Parma's Sakura. The airy, slightly powdery cherry-blossom heart over clean musk with a bright citrus lift comes through, and since Sakura is itself a deliberately subtle, soft-projecting floral, this dupe stays close to its serene spring character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sakura

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its soft sillage and poor longevity make it ideal for casual wear where close proximity is more common, and completely inoffensive for the office. It's too subdued for formal events but perfect for a quick, fresh pick-me-up during sports or everyday errands.

Cherry Blossom Serenade

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The airy, dewy cherry-blossom freshness is the essence of spring and carries well into summer warmth.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its delicate, clean floral character is ideal for the office and daytime and slips gently into casual dates.
