Ananya Perfume Oil

Ananya perfume oil is my absolute favourite fragrance ever! My Mum used to wear it and gave me the perfume stick in my Christmas stocking when I was about 12 so it has many happy associations for me. She gave me the oil and eau de toilette last last Christmas and I love it even more as an adult. People always comment on how nice I smell and ask what it is when I wear it. My physio said it was "A yummy smell". I love it because it's fruity and yes, yummy, but not in a food way (although I love that too!) It last really well and is appropriate for every possible occasion and season. It's just so hard to get hold of! It seems to come back once every few years here and then disappear again. If anyone knows where I can find it from New Zealand let me know!

I have the body lotion of this and have just moisturized with it before bed. I think it resembles Charlie Red and decided to spray the bed linen and myself with it. They work really well together as they are both fruity and flowery, with some tuberose. I'm interested to see no other review has noted the likeness or harmony they have.

Still have some of the body mist from early 10s, was my go-to for nighttime and when I don't want to be 'invisible' in a room. Heavy on the classic floral notes (think your grandmother's vanity table), a hit-or-miss but a definite hit for me.

I still have a bottle that I bought in the late 90's. I looove it but it's not an every day scent for me. @Perfumedsecrets, yes I remember Revlon Outrageous shampoo!! Oh gosh, it smelled fantastic and was totally a dead ringer for TBS Ananya!

This is probably the best scent I've smelled for my body chemistry. On me it was very warm and slightly sweet. Unfortunately I wore it during the most difficult time of my life. I want to reclaim it, but in just not sure.
