Sakura is part of La Collection Privée Christian Dior, and embodies the essence of Japanese cherry blossoms in full bloom. The official description beautifully captures its inspiration:
“The silhouette of cherry blossom‑embroidered silk.” The scent evokes the tender caress of barely bloomed cherry petals, draping the skin like a soft silk veil, subtly embroidered with an almond accord. It’s a tribute to Dior’s deep appreciation for Japanese aesthetics—an ode to delicate, fleeting beauty.
Perfumer’s Word: Christian Dior fondly remembered a fresco in his childhood home—two herons captured in movement, reminiscent of classic Japanese prints. Sakura translates that memory into fragrance, encapsulating cherry blossoms as a symbol of ephemeral grace
According to reliable sources, the scent unfolds with the following accords:
Top Notes: Green notes — offer a fresh, slightly dewy opening that suggests early spring
Heart Notes: Japanese Cherry Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, Hedione — these combine to create a soft, floral core that's both delicate and radiant
Base Notes: Mimosa, Violet, White Musk — lend a gentle powdery and musky finish that softens the composition
