Question "Peach blossom eyes"

How do they look? I know "phoenix eyes" ("long and slender"), but peach blossom?

 

I too, wish to know this.

 

Google is your friend.

 

When one cultivates the Dao of Peach Blossoms and mastered the Sharingan...

 

Oof, this is quite a literal translation. 桃花眼，right? It's related to the term 桃花, which is essentially someone's love life/relationships. Having good peach blossoms is encounters with good prospects who could develop into something more. Rotten peach blossoms are encounters with the sketchy, the odd, the randoms that really don't fit you.

Having peach blossom eyes (which I honestly would translate as naturally seductive/alluring/flirty eyes) means someone who easily attracts a member of the opposite gender (or whichever gender floats the MC's boat). Often used in conjunction as 桃花眼一勾, which means their eyes flung out a look that hooked in their target.

It's not an actual shape like phoenix or almond-shaped eyes.

Selectively translated from Baidu~ of course there are probably some extent of exaggeration


1. 桃花眼 (Peach Blossom Eyes)

Traits: eyes long and slender, with the tails slightly tilting upwards; tails of the eyes long, akin to the petal of a peach blossom; slight pink-ish tint around the eyes akin to that of a peach blossom; long lashes; glassy gaze tinted with slight drunkenness; double-lidded; the curve of the upper eyelid is larger; eyes look like a crescent moon when one with peach blossom eyes laughs; one with peach blossom eyes may appear as though (s)he has not fully woken from her/his sleep—slight lax, unfocused, veiled gaze

On Females: intoxicating gaze; she appears pitiful/stirs one's sympathy for her, akin to spring rain on a pear blossom (describing her loneliness and her tears that rain down)

On Males: distinguishingly romantic; a slant of his gaze will send your heart/state of mind rippling; especially when matched with lying silkworm beneath his eyes (talking about aegyo sal here, not eye bags); very charming

"Peach blossom eyes are also known as bedroom eyes; they have an exceptional ability to attract the opposite sex. Her downward-turned nose indicates that she will never be taken advantage of while its rounded tip hints of the ability to negotiate."

This literally the first result when I search peach blossom eyes and apparently Jennifer Lopez have them

 

Hmmm, Bedroom eyes

 

I know right, what da heck is bedroom eyes suppose to look.......nevermind

 

I know the look. No way to describe them tho. You KNOW when you see them

 

I would say it's a look that makes you think immediately of doing things with that person in your bedroom.

 

Many thanks for your research and input

 

Bedroom eyes.... it actually refers to how the eyes look when a person wakes up...... just take a photo when you just woke up and is half asleep and you will get a temporary peach blossom like eyes.....

 

I don’t know I think of Day of the dead Sculls and their flowers for eyes.

Almoat though its like mia from gurren lagann eye

 

Doesn’t make any sense when they represent tree or flower to eyes.
I don’t really like Asian eyes. I don’t call Asian eyes beautiful. They are average or bad. I am into foreign eyes. They have beautiful stunning eyes like sparkle blue, green? Gray, violet. I wish I have blue eyes.
Also love their eyes shapes.

 

Ok.
So.
What I'm going to imagine from now on when I see "peach blossom eyes" is that cliche moment in jp media where the two love interests meet eyes under a sakura and their hearts go doki-doki, and then petals fly everywhere with sparkles.

 

So it can also be called "Just woke up" eyes?
