Romantica Exotica

I collect Anna Sui perfumes ever since I fell in love with Secret Wish at a tender young age. I love her unabashedly fairy tale designs for fragrances and their bottles. This bottle is beautiful in color and design and I disagree with the one who said the brightly colored box is for teenagers. I think it's gorgeous and artistic being an artist and photographer myself. I'm an outside the lines kinda girl, I don't believe in rules or restrictions to fragrance like age. The juice is bright, happy, refreshing, playful, sexy and indeed romantic. It lasts long on my skin. I put it on this morning and now back from work I can still smell it on my arms and wafting gently once and a while up from my neck. The refreshing top note of grapefruit makes it sparkle. You know, a study was done where they tested the effects of certain scent notes on men and the test had women wearing different scents and one was predominantly grapefruit. The women wearing grapefruit were perceived as at least 5 years younger than their age. Thought that was interesting

I received a tester and although much thinner very much the same vibe scent from michael kors island, which I loved so. Glad to find something so similar in scent which I would describe as a clean energetic aquatic floral. Island had much more depth w/a rich luxurious creamy base to it, where the Anna Sui romantica exotica only mimics the Island top notes. I would say the price point on perfume websites is fantastic for this scent and I will be wearing it spring summer as it is fresh, fine for everyday wear. I do not think in any way it resembles mass market body sprays as those often leave a weird scent after evaporating on my skin. This stuff stays the same throughout wear clean and fresh hint of gardenia buds not full flower.

The initial hit is a freshly squeezed lemonade with a ripe Blackcurrant tang. This is another Anna sui citrus classic. It reminds me of old troicana music of the 50s and 60s. The dry down is when the creamy white florals come into play. Although not as sweet as the comparable Anna Sui Serenity Wish for example. This definitely a breezy fragrance, im seeing cyan coloured waters, orange skies, tanned skin etc. Its clear what the inspiration of this scent was. Anyway, its lovely but about as lovely as an Anna sui citrus blast can be. I doubt you need to own them all.

I just wanted everyone to know this perfume is now on shop.annasui three sizes 30ml $46, 50ml $65, and 75ml $78. Plus either $12, or $15 for shipping via UPS Ground. I should have my 75ml bottle tomorrow. I will be doing a perfume review of this perfume by 08/24. I am also doing a dedication video for Anna Sui of all my Anna Sui perfumes, by early September.

I will have to have this when it becomes available. I just love this bottle, this is now one of my favorite bottles she has done. I love the color. Anna Sui has done many great perfumes, and a lot of them are some of my favorite perfumes. I'm glad to say I have almost all of her perfumes.
