Annayake Natsumi is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004. Natsumi opens with Lemon, Ylang-Ylang, Grass, and Watermelon, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Violet, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Peach. Annayake's Natsumi carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Natsumi is a divisive summer scent. It's a fresh, juicy green-fruity blend that some find utterly delightful and perfect for warmer weather, while others are put off by a bitter note in the drydown or a "too much chopped greens" vibe. If you like watermelon and grass, give it a go.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, green, and fruity profile makes it highly versatile for casual daytime wear, including the office, though some note its delicate nature. Longevity can be an issue for some, but its refreshing character makes it great for sport or warm weather outings. It's not best suited for formal events due to its brightness and lack of traditional gravitas.

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
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Imagine yourself in an early summer garden with Natsumi. It kicks off with a burst of crisp green grass, juicy watermelon, and a zesty lemon. As it settles, a bouquet of lily of the valley, rose, and violet emerges, intertwined with a faint orange blossom, creating a delicate floral heart. The base then reveals a soft medley of peach and blackcurrant, rounded out with a creamy sandalwood and a touch of musk and cedar for an ethereal finish.
