Masaki Matsushima Cherry is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Jean Jacques. Masaki Matsushima's Cherry carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive cherry blossom scent that promises fruit but often delivers a delicate, watery floral, sometimes veering into 'bathwater' territory. If you want a fresh, light cherry BLOSSOM without the saccharine fruit, it's worth a sniff.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Seasons

Sport

Its weak longevity and moderate sillage make it a good fit for everyday casual wear and office environments where subtlety is key. It's too understated for formal events and not quite 'date' material, but the fresh, light character works for sporty activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Cassia Cinnamomum Cassia Leaf Oil from Cassia
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Cherry opens with a delicate, fresh burst of cherry blossom, often bypassing the sweet, juicy fruit itself. Hints of tart blackcurrant and subtle raspberry mingle with a watery melon note, preventing any cloying sweetness. As it dries, a clean lotus and soft sweet pea emerge, settling into a light, musky base. It's more of an airy, dewy floral than a fruity gourmand.
