Anna Sui Fantasia is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017. Fantasia opens with Pomelo and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Raspberry, and Praline, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Cypress. Anna Sui's Fantasia carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Fantasia by Anna Sui is a divisive scent, some hail it as a magical, playful creation with a unique woody-sweet balance, while others find it a cheap, even nauseating mess, marred by an antiseptic or cigarette-like stench. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

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.

About

Opens with a spark of juicy pomelo and a cheeky pinch of pink pepper, setting a bright, energetic tone. The heart unfurls with a confectionary sweetness of raspberry and praline, softened by delicate floral notes. This gourmand core then settles into a surprising, earthy base of cypress and cedar, adding an unexpected woody depth that tempers the sweetness with an almost masculine edge.
