Annayake Annayake Pour Lui is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Christophe Raynaud. Annayake Pour Lui opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Apple, and Tea, settles into a heart of Cotton Flower, Lotus, and Bamboo, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean, Hazelnut, and Cotton Candy. Annayake's Annayake Pour Lui carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Quite a divisive one, this. Annayake Pour Lui swings between 'boring and linear' through 'nice but forgettable' to a 'unique compliment-getter'. It appears to be a 'nice' scent that doesn't inspire strong feelings either way, settling comfortably in the middle ground.

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.

About

Annayake Pour Lui starts with a crisp, refreshing burst of bergamot, mandarin and apple, quickly tempered by an understated tea accord. The heart introduces a cool, aquatic floral blend of lotus and bamboo, softened by cotton flower. It eventually settles into a smooth, comforting base of hazelnut and tonka bean, with a playful hint of cotton candy adding a sweet, creamy depth. This journey balances fresh green notes with a warm gourmand drydown.
