The Character and History of the Fragrance
Lelas Anamaria Prodan is a women's eau de parfum released in 2023.
The composition belongs to the oriental and gourmand families, so it immediately comes across as a rich, expressive and noticeable fragrance with a warm character.
The fragrance was created by Lelas, a Turkish perfume house founded in Istanbul in 2016.
The brand's DNA is built around a passion for the art of perfumery, a modern interpretation and a love of layered compositions, and Anamaria Prodan continues this direction in a particularly striking way.
How Lelas Anamaria Prodan Smells
At the opening, the fragrance unfolds with a contrast between delicate rose and spicy saffron.
The floral accord does not feel light or airy here: it is supported by a deep oriental undertone that gradually makes the scent denser and richer.
As it develops, oud comes to the forefront, an expressive woody note with a distinctive resinous, warm and slightly mysterious texture.
On the skin, it creates a full-bodied backdrop for sweet praline and vanilla nuances, making the composition not merely spicy-woody, but also sensual and gourmand.
Sillage and Mood
Lelas Anamaria Prodan is described as having very powerful sillage, which is an important feature of the fragrance.
It will appeal to those who enjoy a perfume that makes its presence known, leaves a striking impression and does not fade away unnoticed after a short time.
The character of the composition is especially well suited to cool weather, evenings and occasions that call for a dressed-up, seductive look.
Rose and saffron add drama, oud provides oriental depth, while praline and vanilla soften the scent with creamy sweetness.
Who Will Enjoy This Fragrance
This is a choice for women who love dense oriental fragrances with a gourmand accent, noticeable sweetness and a powerful presence.
Lelas Anamaria Prodan may appeal to fans of oud compositions, but rose, praline and vanilla make it softer and more approachable than austere woody-resinous fragrances.
When trying the composition for the first time, it is best to start with a small number of sprays, especially indoors or in warm weather: its high intensity and very powerful sillage quickly reveal the fragrance's full scale.
On the skin, it will smell warmer and more full-bodied, while on clothing it can retain its spicy-sweet trail for longer.
