Secret Wish Magic Romance by Anna Sui

It's nice and I like it but admit it's nothing very special.

While Anna Sui fails to impress me with her uniqueness, I can't help but admire the cute, girly bottles.

I must admit that in real-life the bottles look rather cheap and tacky, but since my teenage years I always longed to discover what was inside those delicate and fairy-like bottles.

Well, the green-blue bottle (Secret Wish) was a disaster, however the contents of the pink bottle are rather likable.

Magic Romance is what I'd call a subtle fruity floral. It opens with soft and harmonious citrus and sweet melon. The overall impression is fresh and wearable.

The white florals in the heart are more soapy than creamy, which had me slightly disappointed yet also relieved. Magic Romance does have a somewhat synthetic feel, most likely caused by the coconut and musk which reminds me of an air freshner.

I'm actually a fan of this fragrance's simplicity. While personally I seek more complex and unique scents for my wardrobe, I can see why this may appeal to the younger crowd or those just getting interested in fragrances.

The lasting strength is very good and I don't doubt that this fragrance has been a popular sell, however I do disagree with the price which is a very costly $70 Australian dollars, (and that's the discounted price).

I liked it, I'm going to buy it though for my sister. The bottle is lovely and magical.

I could smell the coconutty tuberose from the very start. This reminds me a lot of Christian Dior DiorStar (although DiorStar is slightly nicer). Its sweet and frutiy but these notes are underscored by the coco-tuberose, which adds a nutty-musky warmth to the scent, and this is what the drydown is like too, but with some amber too. It's nice and not too teeny (which I find some of Sui's scents to be), but I have stockpiled DiorStar so I don't really need one of these.

For me it smells pretty similar to eclat arperge. Sour with some ( little) sweetness. Like it.

it looks cheap because of the plastic top, but its fresh and sweet though a bit artificial,

I bought this perfume by accident (I was supposed to get the first Secret Wish) and today is the first time I've worn it.

It smells really unique, but not totally in a good way. I had a bathroom air freshener that smelt exactly like that when I was a kid. So to me it smells cheap.

It gets much much better after about 20 mins, because then the smell is gone and what's left is a bit of coconut-musky smell...

I'm not saying that it smells better than Secret Wish, it's just really different! Inital first spray didn't leave such a great impression but when you wait for about 15 minutes later it really evolves into something elegant, warm and calming. I'd say that Magic Romance is the elder, more gentle, and kindhearted sister to the enchanting little forest nymph Secret Wish. This stuff smells nothing like Light Blue, so just that fact makes it pretty unique. Personally, I believe that the lasting power isn't too great but that's ok bc it's suppose to happen to light scents.. I'm just so glad it's not headache inducing!

I usually don´t like these kind of perfumes, I use to find them to discrete and anonymus. But this one i really likes. The topnote is sweet and tender, and the basenote is very nice, varm and relaxing. On me it smells a bit of liqorice in the end...
