ID Parfums Lettre a Anna is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1996. Lettre a Anna opens with Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. ID Parfums's Lettre a Anna carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A truly loved classic chypre, Lettre a Anna is a beautifully balanced, multifaceted, and deeply romantic scent that deserves to be treasured. It's a proper grown-up fragrance that leaves a lasting impression, a real shame it's been discontinued.

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.

About

Lettre a Anna opens with a bright, uplifting burst of citrus, where zesty lemon, orange, and mandarin mingle for a fresh start. This quickly melts into a lush, romantic heart of dewy rose and exotic ylang-ylang, given a unique, slightly spicy warmth by a touch of coriander. The experience deepens into a rich, sophisticated base of earthy vetiver, dark patchouli, and classic oakmoss, creating an opulent and enveloping trail.
