March Birth Fragrance
Birth Fragrance
Cherry Blossom
Cherry Blossom is a birth fragrance inspired by Japan's iconic sakura flowers. This fragrance masterfully harmonizes the delicate sweetness of pale pink petals with the fresh, verdant coolness of young leaves. Scientific research has revealed that cherry blossom components such as coumarin and benzaldehyde profoundly affect the memory centers of the brain, simultaneously evoking nostalgia and hope. This is not merely a floral scent, but an olfactory embodiment of 'mono no aware,' the Japanese aesthetic philosophy at the heart of Japanese culture. It sublimes opposing concepts—full bloom and ephemeral fading, meeting and parting, permanence and change—into a single fragrance, making it an extraordinarily philosophical birth fragrance.
