Cosmic Sky

A carnival at sunrise. Sweet clouds rolling in the sky. Balloons escaping the grasp of the adolescent and reaching for the stars. Something sweet, something sticky. Your hand is clutched by the one you love, pulling you towards the Ferris wheel. First things first, the bottle is one of the prettiest I own. The pictures really don't do justice. The glass is sort of holographic and when it's in the light it twinkles and its hard to keep your eyes off it. It just looks and feels so magical, it's truly a work of art. Moving on, the perfume itself is also very lovely. It reminds me of a carnival, with the sweet, apple, and vanilla notes, but with a splash of elegance thanks to the musk and amber. The vanilla scent almost reminds me of whipped cream specifically, as its so light and airy, definitely noticeable but not overbearing. It's honestly perfect for any occasion, it's youthful yet elegant, fun yet refined.

a LOVELY friend of mine gifted a sample of this to me around last year. I don't have access to this fragrance in my own country but when I went back to London in past September, came across a few bottles of this for only 40 pounds at a TKMaxx. I just HAD TO buy one for myself! It's a veeery girly, flirty, sugar bomb scent. Love it and how it reminds me of that lovely and creative friend who introduced me to this. But other than the memories I associate with it, I couldn't see a reason to keep this in my collection as I was leveling way up to a Kilian fragrance instead. I sold my own bottle to another collector and they really liked it too. For just 40 pounds, this was a steal. Not a perfume I'd obsess over, but definitely one that brings you joy in a very sweet way.

After reading some reviews I was a little nervous about trying this perfume - I should not have been. It is absolutely divine! I definitely get the citrus with bergamot in the opening balanced beautifully with the pear. It reminds me of a Victoria’s Secret body spray my girlfriends bought travelling in NYC in 2012 - funnily enough I didn’t like it then, but I absolutely adore it now. The silage and projection is incredible - it lasts at least 6 hours on me and I have a complete scent bubble that entire time. And they dry down only gets better the longer it is in your skin. I could not recommend this more highly - I don’t have anything remotely close to this scent in my collection.

Absolutely a safe blind buy for lovers of woodsy florals. It is a slightly masculine fragrance due to the way the wood and ambrette (musk mallow) is balanced. It is a more masculine version of Cloud and a more feminine version of sweater weather from bath and body works. If you even remotely like one of those scents, this is worth a try. Not groundbreaking but definitely indulgent and a fun option. Status as an EDT concerned me but proved quite well silage and lasting power. Also came with a card that says it was handmade in Japan!

Please ignore the comment about this smelling like Baccarat Rouge 540, literally opposite end of the scale. This is incredibly sweet and fruity, I don't tend to love Anna sui scents but this is quite nice to me, I guess it depends what you like and go for, I like sweet scents. I'm glad I finally found a scent from Anna sui that I really enjoy because the bottles are absolutely stunning and so unique, yes somewhat more childlike than grown up and sophisticated, but I really enjoy this.
