Запах

The vanilla-like smell of cherry blossoms is mainly attributed to coumarin. Coumarin has a sweet odor resembling vanilla. Among the volatiles of sweet cherry flowers, lilac alcohol has a lilac fragrance and (E)-2-hexenal a fresh green leaf fragrance. Diluted acetaldehyde smells fruity, coffee-like, winey and green.

Докладно

Sakura usually refers to flowers of ornamental cherry trees, such as cultivars of Prunus serrulata. Prunus serrulata is a species of cherry tree that grows wild in Japan, China, Korea and Vietnam. Its flowers are white to pink, with five petals in the wild type tree.

Coumarin is found naturally in many cherry blossom tree varieties of the genus Prunus. The major volatiles of sweet cherry flowers, which are mainly responsible for their characteristic aroma, are ethanol, linalool, lilac alcohol, acetaldehyde, (E)-2-hexenal, benzaldehyde and dimethyl sulfide. Benzaldehyde has the aroma of bitter almond, cherry and nut, and is produced by enzymolysis of amygdalin in flowers.

The blossoms last only a week or two. Mono no aware is a Japanese idiom for the aesthetic appreciation of impermanence. The connection between cherry blossoms and mono no aware dates back to the 18th-century scholar Motoori Norinaga.
