Sakura Snow

Snow
falls on snow-
and remains silent.
-Santoka Taneda

The austere beauty of winter in Japan, a perfect subject for the evocative minimalism of haiku, is also an intensely compelling olfactory tableau- the crisp chill of winter air, an early bud of cherry blossom, and a bright ray of sunshine melting the soft powder snow. This is Sakura Snow, a poetic and gently compelling portrait of the cherry blossom tree at the turn of seasons. On a bed of fresh, musky snowfall, warm solar notes illuminate a smooth, delicate cherry blossom note accented with clean muguet and aromatic juniper. Lovely, gentle, and deeply, compellingly relaxing, Sakura Snow is a meditative beauty.
