M.Micallef Ananda is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Jean-Claude Astier. Ananda opens with Pear and Plum, settles into a heart of Violet and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. M.Micallef's Ananda carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Ananda is the ultimate 'clean girl' scent - a gentle, inoffensive mimosa with a fruity shampoo vibe. It's divisive, with some finding it blissful and elegant, while others dismiss it as basic, overpriced soap water.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its gentle, inoffensive character and 'clean' aesthetic make it highly appropriate for office and casual wear. While pleasant for a date, its lack of bold projection means it wouldn't be the star. The fresh, delicate florals and musky drydown aren't well suited for formal events, and for sport it might feel a little too deliberate.

About

Ananda opens with a juicy, realistic burst of pear and plum, quickly softening into a gentle, powdery mimosa heart. Violet adds a delicate floral touch, evolving into a clean musky and subtly sweet vanilla drydown. It embodies a fresh, ethereal femininity that's universally appealing, reminiscent of fresh laundry or expensive body products.
