Review Guerlain 2009 Cherry Blossom

Oh, this is a nice fragrance! And it’s even better that it’s priced at only $57, from the Aqua Allegoria line.

Cherry Blossom is being billed as a

floral green fragrance (Frangrantica).

It also has some green tea in it, which is generally off-putting to me and puts it more squarely into a masculine feeling scent that I usually cannot wear. (I do wear masculine scents, just not ones with tea.) But in this fragrance the green tea takes a back seat and never takes over the fragrance the way, say, Arden’s Green Tea does. I don’t discern that it is there.

Notes: bergamot, green tea, cherry tree flower, cherry, peach, powder accord.

I think I like this fragrance because I have nothing exactly like it. Generally department store fruity fragrances smell so artificial on me that I think, bleh. On the other side, vintage Rochas Femme (peach) is one I wear less well than vintage Madame Rochas (love this still.)

But this one seems to sit well, albeit it is short lasting, which is OK by me, because I like to change fragrances as the day goes on.

A few years ago I bought a Guerlain Cherry Blossom parfum, then never really wore it, because it was so sweet. Unfortunately, I believe much of it has evaporated from the bottle, despite being in the dark. The bottle is undeniably cute, but it was too much money to spend for something I never wore. Nonetheless, I’m glad I have it, and there is still some in it. I just wouldn’t buy it again.

Because this version is light, I envision spritzing a pretty heavy dose. I’m dabbing my sample liberally. But, you know, if it makes me happy, go for it!

How it makes me feel
There is a carefree, luminescent quality to it. It makes me happy and light hearted. I can always use a heavy dose of that~

What do you think?
Have you smelled this? Do you wear it? Have you worn any other of the Guerlain Cherry Blossoms?

Where to buy this?
If it were me, I’d call (702-732-7008) or email Claire (GuerlainPalazzo.STORE@lvmhuspc.com) at the Guerlain boutique in Las Vegas. There is no sales tax and no shipping charge for mailing in the US. (I think you’d pay tax if you lived in Nevada.) (I can’t speak for international shipping.) I’m letting him know today that this is one I want to have.

They are the best in this store. I was recently at the boutique in the Breakers. They were nice, but it doesn’t compare.

Let me know if you decide to buy it, and tell them you heard it from me.
