Body Shop Sakura Collection

Spring in Japan is invariably associated with cherry blossoms (sakura). The sight of hundreds of majestic cherry blossom trees blooming along the river banks in Japan and casting showers of light pink petals on the sidewalks is simply a magical experience that stays with one forever.

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of sakura-fragranced products or sakura-flavoured food but I do like the look of the Body Shop's Sakura collection which will debut on 23 February in Japan.
