Anna Sui Mellow Yellow is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2023, created by Christine Hassan. Mellow Yellow opens with Sugar Cane, Lemon, Peach, and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Apple Blossom, Jasmine, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Plum. Anna Sui's Mellow Yellow carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A bright, youthful burst of tropical fruit and sweet lemonade. Mellow Yellow is sunshine in a bottle, perfect for summer days, though some find its playful innocence leans a bit too juvenile for everyday wear.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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 low longevity and projection make it unsuitable for formal or office settings, but it's perfect for casual outings or sport where a light, fresh scent is desired. The sweet, fruity profile aligns well with a fun, non-committal date or a relaxed day out.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Mellow Yellow opens with a zesty, syrupy hit of lemon and passionfruit, reminiscent of pink lemonade or a fruity sorbet. This juicy, sweet burst is soon softened by the delicate apple blossom and osmanthus, adding a light floral touch. The dry down leaves a gentle trail of vanilla and a hint of musky plum, maintaining its cheerful, sweet, and distinctly fruity character from start to finish.
