ANNA SUI Fantasia Mermaid Eau De Toilette 30ml

Product Information

The cardamom and honey its warmth on your brow contrasted with the cool sweetness of citrus and litchi on the breeze. And I've had the bottle for a year now, so it's had some time to mature, yet I still don't get the praline.

However -- the scent itself is less commercial/overly chemical fruity floral (what I hate and what I was expecting) and more a simple, lovely sugared fruit. I love how it smells on my skin, it's not too overpowering, and it just radiates such a positive vibe- if that makes sense. But honestly what really caught my attention were these comments comparing it to the smell of public schools and home depot, as I didn't have anything like that in my collection.

I've been wearing this for about three days in a row to try and like it or understand this fragrance. It's fairly linear, although the very end-stage drydown has a just a touch more woodsy-ness than the majority of the scent's life-on-skin.

The magical Mermaid fragrance opens with sparkling blood orange and sweet mandarin, with a rebellious and spicy touch of cardamom and pepper. Praline is not too over powering and it's like other Anna Sui perfume; mysterious and able to use nausea inducing notes and turn it lovable for most people. They should have just stopped there bc that juicy fake smelling thing just takes over and NEVER shares the limelight. I want to add that I'm a bit confused as to why the fragrance is a fruity woody floral and not something marine-like.So, I got this blindly but I think it’s great; I also like that it doesn’t go the crowd pleasing route.
