I am not a big parfum fan. I think there have only been five perfumes that I have used and loved in my whole existence in this planet. That is very few. I really don't use perfume very often and when I do its either just a quick spritz or I spray into the air and I walk through the mist. I don't like really heavy scents because it triggers my allergies and I go into a sneezing fit. I don't like very sweet, fruity or overly floral kinds either. I prefer light and delicate scents. I guess thats why after some time I am starting to use perfume again on a daily basis..well okay this is body splash. I like Bath & Body Works' "Japanese Cherry Blossom". Its really light and delicate and appeals to my olfactory nerves in the most positive way. It has japanese cherry blossoms, vanilla rice, oriental woods and delicate mimosa petals as parts of its blend.

Its been awhile since I forayed into a B&BW store because for one thing I really don't have anything to buy because aside from there's just tons of choices to pick from that its giving me a headache, I guess I just chose not to go rather than not finding one that appeals to me at all. But two Christmases ago, Chrissie gave me a shimmer lotion in this scent and I liked the smell. I thought that it was just a fleeting thing since it was a new scent so I didn't think much of it until late last year. I didn't want to be using perfume on a daily basis so I wanted something light and airy so I decided to give the body splash a try if it will have the same effect on me as that of the lotion. Yup, it did and I am really liking it.

I read reviews online and some people have said that it has this "grandma" scent which I absolutely disagrees with. Sure, it starts off as kind of musky but as the day goes by it becomes this really nice, delicate scent. It is hardly attention grabbing or worse allergy inducing and that appeals to me.
