I'll be honest -- I wouldn't know wisteria or ume blossoms if someone waved them in my face, but I do know cherry blossoms. Hanami is strong on cherry blossoms. There's something else here, which I can only assume is the other two flowers. This is gorgeous and I only wish it were stronger on me.

On me, Rose Cross is mostly tea rose with frankincense way in the back. It's nice but not really me. Still, I'll keep it around.
-
On me, this seems to be incense resins, amber, and maybe some musk. It's a very warm, dry scent. I like it, but it doesn't have much staying power on me.
-
On me, Nuit is rose and moonflower with a hint of jasmine and a white musk base. She's Moon Rose's older sister, very pretty and feminine. I love it.
-
On me, Eternal is light, white flowers. No individual note really stands out, but that's not a bad thing. It's very pretty and a good way to introduce someone to BPAL.
-
It's not listed, but Gluttony on me is almost pure honey. It's not a bad scent, but not what I was expecting. Still, I'll keep this and see if it ages into something better.
-
I second Hope and Faith and Two, Five & Seven.
Antique Lace on me is sugared vanilla and violet, so it might work for you.
Try Love-In-Idleness. It's a light and pretty floral, though not as sweet.

Rome
in Wanderlust
Wet on my skin, Rome is tea rose and juniper. Absolutely lovely. Unfortunately, the juniper soon vanished. Drying, Rome's tea rose and a hint of chamomile. Dry, it's just tea rose. I don't need another tea rose sn, but I'm going to age this and see if it improves.
-
On me, The Pool of Tears is a salty, aquatic floral. It's very pretty and perfect for Spring. I love it.

Strangely, I've been poring the net for Sun, Moon and Stars information today.All I can say is that I'm going to layer Hanami with Schrodingers Cat when they arrive. I have Schrodingers Cat, and it's the right level of fruity. Hanami will hopefully add the florals. Thinking of a little bit of Fautus underneath it all, but I only ever got fruity floral joy from Sun, Moon and Stars.
Hanami and Schrodinger's Cat? I definitely have to try that. Thanks!

Has anyone else noticed that Antique Lace is similar to Vanilla Fields?
Years ago, I wore Karl Lagerfeld's Sun Moon Stars and Coty's Exclamation pretty much exclusively. I was wondering if anyone knows of any BPAL equivalents?
ETA: The notes
Sun Moon Stars
fruit, oriental florals, orange blossom, amber, musk
Exclamation
amazon lily, orangeflower, jasmine, bergamot, musk, patchouli, amber

On me, Forbidden Fruit is lotus flower and lemon. Since lotus morphs on me, it's actually bubblegum and lemon. Someone else can have this.
-
On me, Mad Hatter is lavender, vanilla, and mint. It's not what I was expecting, but I love it just the same.
-
Maybe it's my nose (or my chemistry), but I'd swear there's vanilla in Morocco. On me, it's spice and vanilla. I love it and I only wish it were stronger.
-
On me, Madrid is spicy wine (which was very nice) but then the clove started to burn. Someone else can have this.
-
"Longing" is my favorite poem ever, so of course I had to get a bottle. On me, it's a spicy rose scent with the barest hint of rum. Amazingly, the cinnamon doesn't burn. I love it.
-
On me, Belladonna smells like pine and earth. It's not me, so I'll pass it on.
-
On me, Voodoo Lily is a spicy, foody, green scent. It's interesting but not me, so I'll pass this on.
-
Black Lily is indeed a darkened lily scent. Initially, it was very faint, but now that it's dry it seems to be a little stronger. It's still a little weak for my taste, but I'm hoping age will help that.
-
In the imp and wet on my skin, Hairy Toad Lily is a sweet, purple scent. Like grapes, but not juicy. Drying, a green note starts to show. Dry, the purple and green notes are even. This is very pretty, and something I'd recommend to people who don't usually like florals.
-
Wet on my skin, The Phantom Calliope is black cherry and patchouli. They don't smell well together on me. Dry, it starts to burn so I had to wash it off. Someone else can have this.
-
On me, Mata Hari is a strong, deep floral. I thought it was plumeria at first, then when it dried I realized it's jasmine. I don't detect any of the other notes, which is a real pity. Here's hoping aging will help.
-
On me, Xanthe is just powdered sugar-slathered bubble gum. Not a bad scent, but not what I'm looking for.
blueberry?

Baneberry on me is blueberry and raspberry. I don't think everyone gets those notes from it, but it's worth a shot.
