The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, surrounded by the bright neon lights of Tokyo's gaming arcades.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 by Escada, Cherry In Japan is a vibrant floral fragrance that captures the essence of Tokyo's dynamic energy and the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms. Created by perfumer Honorine Blanc, this Eau de Toilette opens with a sparkling cherry blossom note, leading into a heart of jasmine petals that evoke the natural splendor of spring in Japan. The warm tonka bean base adds a sensual touch, creating an uplifting and addictive scent that bridges the gap between nature and modern city life.

How to wear it

For optimal wear, apply this fragrance to pulse points and allow it a moment to settle. The cherry blossom top note is bright but fleeting, so layering with a light mist can extend its radiant presence throughout the day. This scent reads best close to skin rather than in a room.
