Ananda

Ananda can be summed up in 3 words - Elegant, feminine, sophisticated. 🤍 It is such a beautiful, delicate, floral fragrance that you’re bound to fall in love with it right from the first spritz. It opens with delicate floral notes with a hint of pear and settles into a cosy, powdery musky warmth. Truly very feminine. If you’re fond of the “clean girl” aesthetic, then this is the fragrance for you. Inoffensive and work appropriate too. The only downside is the modest sillage and longevity (on me it lasts for about 5 hours on skin and around 7 hours on clothes) but then that actually is in tune with the elegant personality of the perfume. And just how gorgeous is the bottle 😍😍😍!

Ananda (means bliss/joy) is so delicate and feminine. The prominent notes (pear, mimosa, plum, jasmine) feel chilled, deliberately subdued and understated... muted, if you will. Ananda presents to me as such a cool fragrance, almost as if the notes were poured over ice before they reached my skin. I've often wondered if they were left near an open window on a clean, clear snowy morning, just waiting for me to discover them. To be near me while I'm wearing Ananda means you will be hugged. It's a feeling to be shared. The lovely Ananda promises a peaceful, joy filled day...and it delivers.

I think this is the most beautiful Micallef parfume. It smells so womanly, smooth, yet characteristic. Oohh I love this kind of sour fresh fruit accord laying on the creamy background. Heaven should smell like this. Beautiful fruit trees floating on clouds and little blond angels flying and smelling like vanilla. Although I have to state that this is not an innocent, but a grown up scent. But in a good way, nothing like old ladish. Very stylish and inspiring, I can imagine wearing it on a wedding day. Sillage is moderate Longivity is good

What can I say... I love this. I love the artistry behind M.Micallef fragrances. This really took me by surprise when I first smelt it. It evoked a nostalgic feeling in me and that’s because it has some similar notes to Ysl Paris which my late Grandmother wore. I’m personally not a fan of Ysl Paris, I find it dated, but this is like a modern, clean version with the best parts of that fragrance taken and blended to perfection. A classy floral, fresh and juicy fragrance.

I think its one the most sensual ,intimate and romantic perfume i tried so far.The benefits is its all natural ...so its not living this sour smell on the skin like almost all synthetic perfumes do.(on my skin that absorbs all the smells).I almost can't smell it on me.But people around me doing compliments.They saying its hard to describe but its like a gentle kiss.Also i love the pear note!Very unusual .
