Anna Sui Fantasia Mermaid is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2019, created by Christian Provenzano. Fantasia Mermaid opens with Blood Orange, Mandarin, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Peony, and Litchi, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Vanilla, and Honey. Anna Sui's Fantasia Mermaid carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This polarizing aquatic-fruity concoction has a devoted following, but don't blind buy. Many find it delightful and distinctive, while others are repelled by its sharp, artificial edge, comparing it to cleaning products or even 'pissy' seaweed. The bottle is gorgeous though. Fair warning: it's a scrubber for some.

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.

Its fresh, aquatic nature makes Fantasia Mermaid a good fit for casual wear and warmer weather, with some reviewers even deeming it suitable for the office due to its clean scent. However, its significant longevity and sillage, which some find overpowering, may make it less ideal for formal settings or intimate dates.

About

Fantasia Mermaid opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of blood orange and mandarin, spiced by a hint of cardamom. This energetic citrus then mellows into a heart of litchi, jasmine, and peony, adding a delicate floral sweetness. The base settles into a warm, inviting blend of honey, vanilla, and white woods, creating a surprisingly airy yet grounded finish.
