Sakura
Sakura opens with a cool green note — not exactly grassy, more like the faint scent of the air around spring branches before the blossoms are fully open.

By the editors · 2 min readSakura opens with a cool green note — not exactly grassy, more like the faint scent of the air around spring branches before the blossoms are fully open. Cherry blossom, jasmine, and rose form a light floral heart that is recognizably Japanese in its restraint: the florals suggest rather than assert, with hedione (a synthetic that reads as diffuse, transparent jasmine) lending the composition its characteristic shimmer and reach.
White musk, mimosa, and violet bring the dry-down to a powdery finish that is clean rather than cosmetic. Sakura is La Collection Privée at its most legible — a feminine skin scent built around a seasonal motif without being literal about it. It suits light layers and warm-weather wear.
