The house of Annayake gifted the world with An`Na Annayake in 2011. A feminine fragrance rooted in the chypre and floral families. Concentration — eau de parfum: exactly what it needs to be.
The sillage is very delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. A subtle fragrance: the longevity is low, which suits its gentle character. Made in Japan. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
The scent exists only for you—no one around you will notice it
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of An`Na Annayake is built as a living composition, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Annayake is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum supports the depth and body this composition needs.
The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Wood without random overlap. Additional accords such as Amber and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which clarifies the composition character. For persistence Low indicates a stable lasting impression.
At the opening of the pyramid you catch sweet-fresh fruity top notes: Blackcurrant and Mandarin.
In the heart you meet Coriander, Jasmine, Rose and Tuberose carrying a creamy tuberose direction.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Fruit, Citrus, Spicy and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Floral, Ambery and Wood.
Taken together An`Na Annayake reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best understood through real development.
