L’Occitane Cherry Blossom Solid Perfume Review
Hello Beauties,
I really wanted to try solid perfumes and the last time L’Occitane had online sale going on, I grabbed the opportunity to try one from their “Cherry Blossom” range. I am going to review today “L’Occitane’s Cherry Blossom Solid Perfume,” also know as Fleurs De Cerisier.
It comes in a cute heart-shaped tin which I recently came to know is a limited edition product. The lid closes pretty tight, so you can keep this in your handbag or take it with you while travelling. The entire packaging is pretty sturdy and looks very cute and attractive.
Product Description:
The cherry tree is part of the Provencal landscape, and is widespread in the Apt region. This tree changes colors with the seasons, a source of inspiration for local artists: pure white in spring, bright red in summer, soft green in autumn. L’Occitane’s new fragrance range celebrates the poetic beauty of the cherry blossom. This delicate and soft fragrance is an alcohol-free solid perfume, perfect for fragrant touch-ups throughout the day.
Ingredients:
Colza, Rapeseed and Cherry Tree.
Perfumery Notes:
HEAD: Cherry, Freesia, Blackcurrant.
HEART: Cherry blossom, Lily of the valley.
BASE: Rosewood, Amber, Musk.
My Experience with L’Occitane Cherry Blossom Solid Perfume:
I mainly bought this perfume to use during the day time and due to its packaging, I can easily carry it around in my handbag. I use it on my pulse and sometimes neck and it has never irritated my skin. Another reason to get perfume is that its completely natural and alcohol free.
I have been using this perfume the entire summer and have mixed feelings about it. I like my perfumes to be a bit strong and long lasting and this one is totally opposite to that. The fragrance is very sweet and floral. Its not exactly mesmerizing, but if you love sweet floral fragrances, then you would love this! It reminds of sweet cherries in flower valley. Its a pretty feminine smell, but not over empowering, and you will definitely not get headaches.
The staying power is terrible! It hardly stays for a maximum of 2 hours, that too is a stretch! I definitely don’t want to apply this every couple of hours, especially when I am in the office. This kind of disappointed me and honestly I won’t be repurchasing it again.
Pros of L’Occitane Cherry Blossom Solid Perfume:
- Sweet, floral fragrance, its mild and soothing.
- The packaging is very cute and attractive and you can keep it in your handbag without worrying of the lid coming off.
- Limited edition.
- Feels very moisturizing on the skin and never caused any allergies or reactions.
- Alcohol-free product.
Cons of L’Occitane Cherry Blossom Solid Perfume:
- Staying power is a big disappointment.
- L’Occitane products are not easily available.
- Cost can be an issue, especially when its not on discount.
IMBB Rating:
3.5/5
Price:
600 MRP
Do I Recommend L’Occitane Cherry Blossom Solid Perfume?
If you are a fan of sweet, floral fragrances and you don’t mind applying the perfume every 2 hours, then you can give it a shot or else I would rather suggest you to skip it!
Hope this review was helpful, until tomorrow, take care and stay beautiful 🙂

What good is a perfume if it does not have staying power.. The idea of solid perfume intruiges me bt i def wont be gttng this..thnx fr the reviw
welcome Neha
Hi Parita! I have tried bodyshop’s solid perfume and I had the same problem 🙁
Thanks for the review
🙁 m gonna stay away from these for a while now
Most solid perfumes by L’occitane are quite mild and has less staying power. I think you have to layer with body lotion /EDT to make it a bit more lasting ….
I have delice de fleur solid perfume and it lasts very long by layering ….also weather condition/ climate etc …we rarely sweat here
I agree weather conditions matter a lot..never tried layering the perfume with EDT..thanks for the suggestion but most EDTs have alcohol and i dont like them spraying them directly on skin
I’ve never trid solid perfumes..but the staying power is so less !! 🙁
yes staying power is really terrible 🙁
I was eyeing these solid perfumes from quite sometime, and in a close selection I took christian dior sprey perfume over Loccitanne Solid perfume. And after reading your review Parita, I am happy I did not buy this one 😀
yeah stay away from this one
good morning everyone. 🙂 parita i have never used solid perfumes by loccitane but i was looking forward to. the only benefit i see is that these can carried around easily so you can reapply the perfume. but really the staying power should have been decent .. 🙁
I too brought it for the same reason Rati..so easy to carry around and cute but i really hate the staying power!
I had the TBS Love etc. solid perfume which smelled nice and woody which I like but it would stay for not more than 3 hours. Nice review, Parita ! (:
thanks christine
Parita, its so chotu and cute……perfect to show off as well…..sad it doesn’t stay long….:(
I agree it is cute 🙂
I almost made up my mind to buy this. The staying power of their hand creams are fabulous. Too bad this stays for such a lil time.. 🙁 🙁 It looks so cute may be i will try some other variant..
i agree their hand cream staying power is much better
never ever used solid perfume!!! 🙁
i never like perfumes dat dont stay!!!!! nice review 🙂
me too somreeta! thank you
I would still get these for travels when I cant carry the bottles! these are terrible for regular use!
