English Cherry Blossom

by Julie Massé

Shay & Blue London English Cherry Blossom is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Julie Massé. English Cherry Blossom opens with Cherry Blossom and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Sour Cherry, and dries down to a base of Woody. Shay & Blue London's English Cherry Blossom carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper mixed bag. While some find it a delightful, clean spring floral, others are utterly put off by its 'shampoo' or 'hairspray' vibe. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test before you commit.

About

Imagine a delicate drift of cherry blossom petals, dusted with a zesty flick of bergamot to open. It soon mellows into a surprisingly tart, juicy sour cherry heart, preventing it from becoming overly sweet or cloying. The whole affair is grounded by a subtle, understated woody base, keeping it light and airy, though some find it a touch too sheer, bordering on an ambiguous 'clean' scent rather than distinct woods.
