My Dream Perfume Found: Anna Sui Fantasia, a True Fashionista's Delight
summarizeEditor's Summary
I'm absolutely smitten with Anna Sui Fantasia, a perfume that captures the essence of magic and wonder. This enchanting scent is a true masterpiece, with a unique blend of notes that's perfect for young, creative, and adventurous individuals. The stunning design of the bottle is a work of art, and the fragrance itself is long-lasting and alluring. If you're looking for a scent that's both sweet and sophisticated, Anna Sui Fantasia is worth every penny. However, be prepared for a strong fragrance that might be overwhelming in warm weather. I've been wearing it for a week now, and I've received so many compliments on its unique smell. The value for money is excellent, considering the quality of the fragrance and the beautiful packaging. The only downside is that it's not suitable for everyday wear, as it's quite strong. But for special occasions or when you want to make a statement, Anna Sui Fantasia is an excellent choice.

My Dream Perfume Found: Anna Sui Fantasia, a True Fashionista's Delight
Hey there, lovelies!
As a self-proclaimed unicorn enthusiast, I'm thrilled to share my experience with Anna Sui Fantasia, a fragrance that embodies the magic and whimsy of these mythical creatures.
One of the first things that caught my eye was the stunning design of the bottle itself – I've seen it pop up on Anna Sui's fashion shows before, and it's just breathtaking.
Now, I think it's high time I talked about the creator behind this beauty.
Anna Sui is an American fashion designer and the brains behind her own eponymous brand.
Her clothes, fragrances, cosmetics, and accessories are sold in over 50 countries worldwide, in high-end boutiques and department stores.
Anna's known for her bold, colorful collections, which she draws inspiration from various cultures around the world.
The story behind the scent is just as fascinating as the fragrance itself. Anna Sui Fantasia was released in 2017, and it's a true masterpiece.
What I love about Anna Sui is that she's a true creative force – she doesn't just stop at designing clothes, she pairs them with scents from her own brand. I mean, let's be real, a complete look often lacks that one key element that ties everything together, and that's where the scent comes in.
In 2017, Anna Sui's Fantasia was that game-changer.
Year of release - 2017
Perfumer - Jerome Epinett
Classified as a women's fragrance
Belongs to the floral, sweet, fruity family
It's available in three sizes: the mini versions of the fragrance in 5ml cartons, the 50ml bottle, and the longer 70ml version with the brand's packaging.
I've got to say, the unboxing experience is pure magic. The moment you hold the box in your hands, you can smell the aroma. It's a beautifully crafted box with intricate details – a unicorn in the center, surrounded by flowers, sparks, and stars.
The packaging is so secure, I'm confident that it would withstand even the most rigorous shipping methods. The velvet foam inserts on both sides cradle the transparent gold cap, where a unicorn prances around.
I love that the cap has a design showing exactly where to press to get the fragrance out, so you don't end up spraying it all over the place like a crazy person.
The heavy, bright, and meticulously designed bottle is just stunning! It's clear that our unicorn lives in a fairy tale (oak tree?) forest. Every detail is perfectly executed – each leaf, each strand of fur, and that sharp horn that you can use to poke your enemy if they happen to be lurking nearby.
I've got to say, the scent is really long-lasting – it's supposed to last over 4 hours, and it definitely does. I can smell it almost all day, and it's quite strong! It's a bright, consistent scent from start to finish, though it's not super complex.
The fragrance lingers on my skin and clothes all day, which is impressive. Honestly, I'd say it's more like a fragrance than a shower gel in terms of longevity and intensity.
And let's talk about the throw – Fantasia has an incredible sillage, like a queen's train! It unfurls, wraps itself around me, and trails behind me wherever I go. Just be careful not to trip over it!
Okay, let's dive into the pyramid itself. With 7 notes, it might seem a bit simple at first – but trust me, it's anything but! The sheer concentration of all these components hits you with a sweet, citrusy explosion that's almost overwhelming from the very first notes...
The top notes are pomelo and pink pepper. I was completely caught off guard by the opening notes – they just didn't resonate with me. My mind started racing, wondering how anyone could possibly enjoy the overwhelming amount of rose pepper.
But what I got here was a complete surprise. Imagine someone dumping a cloud of citrus-scented powder on you, and then quickly sweeping it away to try and downplay it – that's basically what I got.
The heart notes are floral, praline, and raspberry. If the top notes were trying to lure us into a fantastical world where mythical creatures roam, then the heart notes are what really reveal the essence of this rose pepper – and it's a total fairy tale.
Sometimes it's nice to immerse ourselves in this kind of atmosphere.
My heart is made of cotton candy, filled with gooey praline and a hint of tangy raspberry...are you drooling yet? Fantasia has become my go-to guilt-free dessert, but it's so satisfying!
The scent is more accurately described as fantasy-meets-gourmet! Because it's delicious! It literally satisfies my sweet tooth throughout the day (fun fact: this principle is also used in aromatherapy to treat sugar cravings – by replacing sweet cravings with positive emotions, you'll stop craving sweets).
It's an unusual effect when the sour, puffed pastry transitions into a sweet frenzy and all these notes start swirling around each other, dispersing like a kaleidoscope and reassembling in a quirky order.
The base is understated, elegant, and restrained – it's like a gentle escort back to the real world, leaving a reminder of those magical moments.
The base: cypress and Himalayan cedar. The citrusy tang pairs beautifully with cypress, adding a fresh and herbal note simultaneously.
I'd say this scent is perfect for the adventurous types and young women who are still finding their style. It's definitely a head-turner and will leave a lasting impression on men – I've never smelled anything like it!
As for the time of year, I find that this scent really shines in the colder months – winter and spring – and gets a bit overpowering in the summer, especially indoors.
I've been using Anna Sui Fantasia for over two months now, and it's become one of my go-to scents for the winter.
I highly recommend it to anyone who's not afraid to try something new, loves sweet scents, and wants to make a statement.
