Anna Sui Fairy Dance Secret Wish

This perfume does not get enough credit! I just received Fairy Dance from my boyfriend as an early Christmas present and I can't get enough of it . Not only is the box and packing beautiful but the scent itself is fantastic. If anyone is feeling glum on a Monday morning this perfume is ideal as its light fragrance boosts confidence and mood ; it also lasts forever and I don't even have the concentrated version!

this is 1 of the better fragrances from Anna Sui, I love the combination of fruity and floral notes in this. Even though most of her fragrances are notorious for being very weak in longevity, they usually only last on my skin for about 1-2 hours, but alot of her perfumes do smell nice and let's be honest, the main appeal of her perfumes are their very beautiful and elaborate packagings.

i love love this, the notes are soft, woody and elegant. Besides, the bottle is very cute with beautiful package. Feeling fresh all day wearing it! i really recommend..

Beautiful, easy to wear and nostalgic to my teens lol. Very feminine and sweet. Gorgeous bottle.

Like I did with Flight of Fancy, I fell in love with the bottle first before the scent. Anna Sui's bottles are always beautiful that sometimes the juice doesn't do the bottle justice. In this case, however, it's a fair play. Fairy Dance is as pretty as it gets--pretty decorative bottle, pink elixir, wonderful smell. I expected it to smell really sweet, but it turns out that even Forbidden Affair is sweeter than this, which is a good thing. Fairy Dance is nicely balanced, with a lot of tropical sweet fruits and flowers in it. Think a very mouthwatering fruit cocktail. The opening is sour-sweet, not as harsh as Flight of Fancy but not as cloying as Forbidden Affair. It's just nice, even though longevity and sillage are below average so you may need to go to town with this one. Overall, I find it very likeable without being too generic. I have Flight of Fancy and Forbidden Affair, and even though they all are quite similar to each other (my friends can't really differentiate the three), Fairy Dance emerges as the most likeable amongst my clique. It's sweet but not cloying, it's sour but not harsh. Like ripe mango with a hint of sourness in it. Lovely bottle for younger audience. Rating: 7.5/10

I found this with 18 euros and thought of trying it before buying it. (yes it costs 30 in my country sto 18 is a good deal). But anyway, the bottle is a piece of art indeed. I could have bought it just from it. The perfume is ok. But during the first hour it is strange. Maybe because of the bamboo. I never liked its smell anyway, but sometimes it works ok in the mixing (of perfumes). So, for the first hour I could smell something plastic, like the head of a plastic doll. Seriously. Plastic with the addition of fruits. Well it wasn't that bad. After the plastic goes away, for the next few hours I stayed with a nice flowery scent. In me the longevity was ok. I put it at about 14.30 and I could smell it until 21:00 (just the base notes). In terms of smell, I would have given it something like 6/10. It is nice but not something special after the plastic fades. (well to smell like a doll's head is something special after all haha). So if it was for 10 euros I would have bought it to wear at work during summer and spring. Maybe even for an afternoon picninc. But 18 euros (24 dollars) I don't know if it worths it.

A common complaint about Anna Sui perfumes is their longevity, it seems. Yes, there are other Anna Sui fragrances that disappear within a few hours on me, but Fairy Dance lasts much longer. The mandarin orange is crisp, bright and juicy, supported by the mango. The bamboo adds an interesting touch which I love, tempering it down with a scent of paper that holds your attention. If you're not familiar with bamboo, it's a clean-smelling note. Fairy Dance is also supported by the mustiness of vetiver nicely to create a fragrance that's not all sickly sweet fruit. It moves on to a creamier scent as the vanilla kicks in, almost reminiscent of the old-fashioned Good Humor orange and vanilla ice cream bars, but not quite as sweet. The bottle is chunky and the topper is a cute fairy sitting aloft and if you're a collector, it's a nice one to have. All in all, Fairy Dance surprised me as a tropical yet earthy fragrance with a fresh feel to it. I think it's seasonless because of the bamboo/vetiver/vanilla notes. Daytime, sleeptime, it's a comfortable scent to wear.

Fairy Dance Secret Wish is a pleasant fruity floral, with more emphasis on the fruits. Some citrus in the beginning from the mandarin orange, then what I assume to be the mango comes to the forefront. Not quite the fresh mango that I enjoy eating, but juicy-fruity and a little tart. I didn't really get much woodiness from this, but I found the perfume rather fleeting and mild, so perhaps I just didn't notice it. A bright and pleasant scent for a summer day, but for me, not very memorable and nothing much to make it stand out from other fruity florals. I'm using a mini dabber bottle, so I don't know if I'm missing any notes or nuances that could be better detected when sprayed on. I like this enough to use up the entire mini, but I wouldn't be inclined to get a full bottle.

Sweet and woody, I think the name Fairy Dance is appropriate for this perfume. When I see mango listed as a prominent note, I immediately think of sweet sugary scents like the ones from Escada and Bath and Body Works, which I do like, but this mango is not quite like that. This mango is equally paired with a woody base. Although this scent is still sweet and fruity, its more than just that. There is a citrus note that is very bright at first spray but fades quickly, leaving a floral woody mango drydown that's definitely sweet but, at the same time, seems a bit more grown up. Mango and wood seems like an odd combination but here, I think it works well. Sadly, this doesn't last long, and I find myself respraying about every two hours.

I love Anna Sui's Dolly Girl and Secret Wish,so when I saw Secret Wish with Flight of Fancy and Fairy Dance in a 3 pack of travel sprays,I snapped it up ($15!). Fairy Dance is another light,spring/summery fruity floral.It is an all around soft scent,I spray quite heavily throughout body,hair and clothes (maybe 10-12 sprays) and it is not overpowering.More along the lines of a body splash,but I don't mind as I can carry around the small 5ml bottle in my purse for touch ups throughout the day. I can't pick out individual notes but it is a perfect blend of fruit,floral and woods (not spicy or too sweet). Her fragrances are so feminine and fresh,perfect for gift giving as I don't see how anyone could find them offensive.

Fresh fruity-woodsy scent, I get mangoes but mostly citrus and woods. Pleasant, inoffensive, and soft perfume. But not as complex as I would prefer and as other users have mentioned, lasting power isn't really there. It's a linear scent to me, fresh and fruity and woodsy. Pleasant, but just not the most sophisticated. A great scent to wear to work, especially if you work at a more conservative office. Also a great casual summer scent, not too overwhelming or powerful.

This is a little more than just a cute bottle. At first it was sweet, fruity, girly pink kind of fragrance. After some minutes it developed amazing green and fresh bamboo note. I also sense some very fresh and nice peony. One must be grateful for those notes, as this fragrance is very cheap. I didn't expect it to be that good. Very nice, fresh, inoffensive scent. No overwhelming sweeetness or sickening tropical notes. (Mango is not that sweet in this one).

I recieved a tester of this with a perfume order, it is a lovely fruity/floral perfume, I went straight out and bought a bottle for my Mother for Christmas as I knew she would love this scent. (I was proven correct when she tried the tester herself the next day) It seems like a perfume which teens & people in their 20s especially would enjoy but I believe it is quite universal =) Also, the bottle is beautiful =)

This one smells good and I think I like Fairy Dance better than the original Secret Wish. I got this when I was in high school and for some reason I repurchase this fragrance six months ago. I always love the mango scent in this fragrance. It's not a fresh-sour mango but more juicy and light. I love this scent but sadly it disappear in 2-3 hours so I have to respray all over and over throughout the day.

Does this smell nice? Yes! Would I buy it again in the future? Absolutely no! Why? Because all of Anna Sui perfumes lack the longevity! Bottles are gorgeous, scents are nice, but there is just no longevity or projection. The catch is that I keep buying them as the bottles look so lovely and cute and I just can't help it! If you are a bottle collector then buy it, otherwise not recommended!

I must admit that I bought it for the bottle, I'm a sucker for anything faerie themed. I really do like this perfume, it is perfect for an escape to the farmer's market, or a picnic! As I smell it, I am reminded of my mother's old makeup and my grandmother's garden. It is a very pretty scent, and suited for someone who wants to channel the energy of the bottle's design :)

I love the mango and the bamboo in this one it is a very weak fragrance I wish it was stronger and project more overall this is a sweet fruit floral scent but not too sweet and over powering I love the packaging, the shape of the bottle is classy to me and I love the pink tinted gold liquid inside of the bottle

It's a refreshing fruity mango scent that I can use all summer! I love the bottle, it's so dainty. I feel like Tinkerbell in the tropics when I spritz this on. I like that it's fruitiness is then replaced by floral scent thanks to the rose and peony middle notes. It's a nice, uncomplicated scent.

Nice bottle 🧚🏻♀️really different perfume not sweet at all was nicer after leaving it a while will deffo try other ones because of bottle but maybe search notes first this was just a bit 2 strong for me as an everyday perfume i gave it to someone who loved it 5/10

Had a tester today and it just arrived in Malaysia a week ago Strong and does not fade easily Apparently my boyfriend love it more than I do and wanted to buy me as a present Smells fresh, mango
