Annayake Miyako is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005. Miyako opens with Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Incense, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Benzoin, and Myrrh. Annayake's Miyako carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

A warm, spicy amber incense that walks the line between sacred and sensual, Miyako is a deep dive into an exotic, calming embrace. It's a soft, feminine take on a traditionally masculine scent profile.

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 moderate sillage and intimate nature make it less disruptive for the office but perfect for dates and casual wear where closeness is appreciated. While elegant enough for formal events, it leans more into a cozy, personal comfort rather than a grand statement.

About

Miyako opens with an aromatic swirl of cardamom, cinnamon, and a delicate, smoky incense, hinting at ancient rituals. As it settles, a rich heart of cedar and sandalwood emerges, softened by the subtle sweetness of rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. The base unfurls into a serene blend of myrrh, amber, and benzoin, wrapping you in a cozy, resinous warmth that lingers elegantly on the skin.
