Anna Sui Secret Wish is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005, created by Michel Almairac. Secret Wish opens with Marigold, Lemon, Melon, and Peach, settles into a heart of Floral, Blackcurrant, and Pineapple, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Anna Sui's Secret Wish carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A truly divisive scent, Secret Wish is either your fresh, fruity summer daydream or a synthetic lemon cleaner that vanishes without a trace. The bottle might steal your heart, but the juice is a brief, if sometimes brilliant, affair.

Date

Its fresh, light profile and general lack of strong sillage make it suitable for casual wear or gym, where it's invigorating but not intrusive. However, its poor longevity and casual fruitiness limit its appropriateness for formal settings or dates where a more lasting impression is usually desired.

About

Imagine slicing into a juicy peach and melon next to a zesty lemon, that's your opening act. This bursts with fruity and citrus energy, softened by blackcurrant and tropical pineapple that keep it from being too sharp. Over time, it settles into a whisper of creamy sandalwood, musk, and amber, retaining a clean, airy freshness with a subtle woody undertone. It's like a fleeting summer breeze, light and refreshing.
