My very first interaction with the brand Rituals came through a candle called Jasmine Dream, a candle that I have loved for years and one which I have re-purchased time and time again. Now having been introduced to the Sakura Collection, I am bowled over by just how amazing it is.
When this amazing box of products was delivered, I could smell the scent of Cherry Blossom befoe the box was opened and it is just beautiful. The legeng has it that for centuries, the Japanese have celebrated the annual flowering of the Cherry Blossom, or Sakura. Marking an awakening of nature, this symbolises that beauty is momentary and life must be enjoyed. Inspired by this tradition, The Ritual of Sakura collection blends the sweetness of Cherry Blossom with nourishing Organic Rice Milk, to make each day feel like a new beginning.
The two main ingredients for this range are Rice Milk and Cherry Blossom and throughout Asia rice is a symbol of abundance, happiness and fertility. Formulated with the essence of rice milk your skin is left soft, supple with a healthy glow. The fragile blossoms of the sakura tree (Japanese cherry) is often described as spring snow by Japanese poets. For the Japanese cherry blossoms symbolise the rebirth of nature and purity since ancient times. The delicate fragrance is wonderfully relaxing.
Within this box of joy are four products which come together to make a really beautiful gift.
