the cherry blossom, all delicacy and poetry

In Japan, cherry blossoms herald the fragile beauty of the world. For centuries, people have celebrated "Hanami," a poetic ritual in which they contemplate the petals in flight, an invitation to celebrate the fragility of existence and its perpetual renewal.

Originally, aristocrats held banquets beneath the cherry blossoms, composing poems praising their fleeting beauty. Hanami gradually spread to all levels of society and became a popular celebration. Japanese people gather each year with family, friends, and colleagues beneath the blossoming trees to contemplate and honor their beauty. It is a time for sharing, reflection, and connecting with nature.

The Japanese cherry tree (Prunus serrulata) blooms in early spring, between March and April. Its flowers are very fragile: essential oil cannot be extracted directly from them. Its fragrance is almost imperceptible. What we call "cherry blossom note" is an olfactory composition; an interpretation inspired by its delicacy, its freshness and evanescent sweetness. A composition that invites gentleness and tranquility of body and mind. Its symbolism of renewal makes it a perfume that brings peace and balance.

At Domaine Singulier, a cherry blossom accord of great beauty and delicacy, both floral and fruity, slightly powdery, has been composed. You will find this natural accord at the heart of the Eau Belles Toilettes green almond Bulgarian rose and cedar perfume and the Savon de Belle Façon green almond and cherry blossom.
