Question

Could you please recommend fragrance oils for a body cream with the following characteristics?

  • A light, fresh scent similar to Sakura (Cherry Blossom).
  • Other floral options that are not too overpowering.

Answer

For a body cream with a light and fresh scent similar to Sakura (Cherry Blossom), I recommend the following fragrance options:

1. Sakura (Direct Match)

  • Sakura: This is the direct choice for the scent you are looking for. It provides the delicate, sweet, and fresh floral aroma characteristic of cherry blossoms, perfect for a gentle body cream.

2. Fresh & Light Floral Alternatives

If you would like to explore other mild floral scents that aren't overpowering, these are excellent choices:

  • Apple Blossom: Offers a very fresh, clean, and slightly fruity floral scent. It feels youthful and light.
  • Orange Blossom Flower Absolute: A natural extract that provides a refreshing, clean, and sophisticated floral scent with a hint of citrus.
  • Rose Blossom: A softer, more delicate version of a rose scent compared to traditional heavy rose fragrances.
  • Flower Red (compare to Kenzo): A soft, powdery floral scent inspired by a famous perfume. It is known for being gentle and clean.

Usage Recommendation for Body Cream:

  • Dosage: For a body cream, it is generally recommended to use fragrance at a concentration of 0.5% to 2%.
  • Tip: Since you prefer a "light" scent, start with 0.5% - 1%. You can always add more if you find the scent too faint, but starting low ensures it won't be too strong for your preference.

Would you like advice on how to mix these into your cream base?
