Whether it is in Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden in Tokyo, the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., along West 22nd Avenue in Vancouver or in Toronto’s High Park, the spectacle of cherry trees in full blossom is always awe-inspiring. The pale pink flowers are also a darling to skincare lovers. Rich in anti-oxidant and soothing properties, it is said to have potent anti-aging, whitening and brightening properties. Their subtle scent and beautiful sight are an inspiration for many beautiful fragrances.
