Fleurs de Cerisier: Frequently Asked Questions
What are the skincare benefits of cherry blossom?
Cherry blossom extract is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that help protect skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors.
It supports a smooth, even complexion by promoting healthy skin renewal and can help to even out skin tone over time. Cherry blossom is also a gentle ingredient that suits sensitive skin, making it a versatile option across hand cream, body lotion and body care routines.
What does cherry blossom smell like?
Cherry blossom has a soft, feminine and slightly powdery floral scent with a subtle fruity sweetness. It is a delicate fragrance that sits close to the skin rather than projecting strongly, which makes it suitable for those who prefer a lighter, more intimate scent. L'Occitane's Cherry Blossom range captures this signature with velvety floral and sweet fruit notes across every product, from shower gel through to the Eau de Toilette.
Is cherry blossom suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Cherry blossom extract has natural anti-inflammatory properties that make it gentle and well suited to sensitive skin types. It helps to calm redness and irritation while providing light, comfortable hydration. The Cherry Blossom range across hand creams, body lotions and shower products is formulated to be gentle enough for daily use without causing dryness or irritation.
Where does L'Occitane source its cherry blossom?
L'Occitane uses cherry extract sourced locally from the Luberon region of Provence, which sits within the natural Provençal landscape that has always been central to the brand.
The cherry tree is a well-established part of this environment, and sourcing from the region supports local producers while ensuring ingredient traceability. The extract brings both its skincare properties and the essence of the Provençal spring into every product in the range.
How do I layer cherry blossom products for the best fragrance result?
For the most lasting effect, start with the Cherry Blossom shower gel or soap, then apply the body lotion or body butter while your skin is still slightly damp to help the scent and moisture absorb together. Finish with a spritz of the Eau de Toilette and, if needed, a touch of the hand cream throughout the day. Layering products from the same scent family helps the fragrance develop and last significantly longer on the skin.
