Anna Sui Anna Sui is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1999. Anna Sui opens with Green Notes, Bergamot, Orange, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Anna Sui's Anna Sui carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive, atmospheric, and utterly unique, Anna Sui is a gothic boudoir dream for some, and a dusty cosmetics nightmare for others. Expect a soft, powdery veil rather than a bold statement, as performance can be fleeting.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:

Its soft sillage and powdery floral nature make it suitable for close-quarters wear, like the office or casual settings, without being obtrusive. While elegant, its vintage character might not suit all formal events, and its subtle nature isn't ideal for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a plush, velvet-clad dressing table laden with vintage cosmetics and dried roses. The initial zest of green notes, bergamot, and ripe raspberry gives way to a powdery heart of iris and delicate rose, evoking a sense of nostalgic elegance. This floral core settles into a soft, woody embrace of cedar and sandalwood, sweetened by a whisper of amber and tonka bean, leaving a distinctly retro, slightly melancholic trail.
