Description
Somei Yoshino is a delicate floral fragrance that captures the essence of Japanese cherry blossoms with an elegant, minimalist composition. The fragrance opens with fresh, airy green notes infused with minty shiso, creating an uplifting and herbaceous character that prevents it from smelling like a typical soapy floral. At its heart, luscious jasmine sambac blends with soft, green patchouli from Indonesia, creating a sophisticated bouquet that remains refined and well-balanced throughout wear. This clean, refreshing fragrance evokes springtime contemplation with subtle fruity undertones and a delicate pink floral character.
