The bloom of the cherry blossom trees in my estate was always the first indicator that the milder months had arrived when I was growing up, so this scent is particularly evocative for me.
This new limited edition Cherry Blossom L'Eau fragrance is beautifully light and delicate, a fresh scent to step forward into spring.
There are top notes of lemon, blackcurrant and watermelon, a heart of cherry blossoms and delicate violet and rose notes, with a subtle musky, woody base.
The range also features a Fragrance Touch (€21 for 14ml) which can be dabbed onto pulse points, Shower Milk (€17.50 for 250ml), Moisturising Milk (€24.50 for 250ml) and Hand Cream (€10.50 for 30ml) all containing a beautiful Luberon cherry extract.
The limited edition Cherry L'Eau range will be available in L'Occitane stores nationwide from February 5.
