Secret Wish Magic Romance Anna Sui for women

I was given this scent as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago. I am a mature lady and thought that the bottle was cute but a bit childish and the only Anna Sui I'd ever tried was Dolly Girl which I didn't like very much. THis is OK on me but I don't find it that citrusy or fresh. It dries down to a rather powdery "old lady" smell on me which I don't like and although the coconut is there, it isn't strong enough to make an impact (I love coconut!). Also this does'nt last very long on my skin although I have spritzed my bed linen with it - seems to smell better on cloth than skin! Not horrid but not that nice either!

smell a bit cheap, but the bottle is cute and i kinda like it.. but it is kinda cheap smelling, like 16 years old who wear too much perfume.. but for those who like sweet young smell, this is quite okay..

I gave this a dud review before but I've changed my mind. I like the drydown - it's really sweet. There is nothing really unique about this perfume, it's like Miracle by Lancome without the pepperiness, but sometimes I quite like to smell like Miracle by Lancome without the pepperiness. A good perfume for office wear or lounging around at weekends.

On my skin,it does smell like 'versense by Versace'. Nothing special for me.

I love it. Smells like a dream!

I got this as a present from my 5 year old daughter at Christmas. My husband took her into a department store and asked her to choose a perfume for me and she picked this one because of the pink bottle and she liked the smell too apparently. Not my cup of tea unfortunately. Smells a lot like Miracle by Lancome - funnily enough when I was pregnant with my daughter I went off all my favourite perfumes and would only wear Miracle (which I now can't stand).

I'm actually wearing it today (I feel guilty that I haven't tried hard enough to like it) and I've softened it with White Musk but all I'm getting are wafts of first one perfume then the other. Not very nice actually.

Sorry, not a fan. Cute little bottle, but the melon makes me feel ill (in any fragrance, not just this one). Also, I get a strong jasmine scent, even though it isn't listed among the notes. Odd. Slightly bitter in the dry down, which to me smells cheap.

Secret Wish Magic Romance is a very likeable, soft, light and sweetish scent which I think is better than some of Anna Sui's other perfumes, including Sui Dreams and Secret Wish. I just got a tester bottle of it in the post this morning which was a birthday treat to myself and I'm very happy I picked this one over a few other perfumes I was toying with!

Ironically, I recently got a blind buy bottle of J-Lo's Deseo (which I'm returning!) which smells strongly of coconut yet apparently it doesn't contain it! Secret Wish Magic Romance, on the other hand, contains coconut yet I don't smell it at all (which, for me, is a good thing because I really don't want to smell of coconuts!) !! The main notes that come through on my skin from SWMR are the lemon, jasmine, tuberose and musk, and at first I also smelled what I thought might be violet but apparently that's not one of the notes! Some reviewers have mentioned that they think it smells synthetic but to me it doesn't at all. If anything, on my skin it smells very natural and very nice!

On me, this perfume gets better as time wears on and despite it being soft and subtle it lasts on my skin for a surprisingly long time (6+ hours), so I'm really happy about that. I was a little worried initially that with it being so subtle it would fade very quickly but it sticks around for a surprisingly long time!

I'd definitely recommend this perfume to anyone who likes softly sweet, light and subtle perfumes. It's so nice!

The bottle is adorable, as well as the packaging.
The juice however has too much lemon for my taste.
There's also some rather understated floral scent, but sadly the lemon is very dominant, which makes the perfume smell cheap in my opinion.
Still love the mini bottle I have for my collection :]

to me its smell like a jasmine, lotus maybe..
fresh, not cheap. its takes just 4-6 hours in my body.

I just got it from my sister, i do not really like it, the smells very girly n cheap. But i like the bottle, it's nice for my collection :)

This perfume is Ultra Soft. I tend to be more attracted to more lighter softer feminine sweet scents. I hate heavy perfumes that give you headaches. This one is pefect because it's not over whelming at all , it's a light breeze of the perfect sweet feminine smell i love, and i get loads of compliments with this one, the original secret wish is lovely too, but this one is way better in my opinion, i will buy again and again and again!

I can smell Dolce Gabanna Light blue and the Secret wish (blue bottle) smells the same to me as this one. Nice perfume I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. I have to keep reapplying it because I can never smell it. It is a very fresh angelic smell a little like Love at First Glow by Jennifer Lopez. A pink, innocent fresh zesty smell.

This perfume has a floral warmth to it that the other Sui fragrances, which are more on the fresh and/or fruity side, do not have.
And compared to most of the other Sui frags, the staying power is alright.
When I wear this frag at work in the office, I only feel the need to top it up once during the day.

Why I bought it:
1. the bottle is cute. can;t help it.
2. it smells lovely.not great,or superb or an Anna's masterpiece,but it's just simple and lovely. it starts out very well on me. soft and very girly, and it ends nice.

i wear it at home though, since it doesnt last long enough, and i'm just too old to wear this kind of fragrance hahah

this is my ultimate favorite perfume next to britney spears original fantasy!! i have never gotten so many compliments on a fragrance in my entire life this perfume smells like a royalty to me pure goddess i love love love it

I just bought this a few days ago, i got attracted to the nice bottle..it have a bit freshly smell and a bit sourness to it but overall a girly scent..lasts quite a long while too..

Compared to the original, I would say that this one is more mature because of the strong floral notes to it.

Even if I don't like floral-ish scents, this one is oddly addictive to me (might be the rose notes in this).

Still, I like the original better. :)

It's comfortable for girls,whose age between 14-19.I'm a little elder to use it,but I like it .

I thought i would love it because it was suggested so highly but all i can smell is the base notes on me. Which arent too appealing to me. I will probably give this away and trying something else but it does last all day.

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).

one of my favorites! it's sweet and very girly. but I like the green one more

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

I have this one as a present from
my sister in law, it smells very
floral and I love it.

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.

really nice fragrance but this one is better it's more young and sweeter the other one is less sweet

this scent gets better and better the longer you wear it! my dad HATES perfume and told me he liked this one. girly and flirty.

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...

will test

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 didn't like this perfume. I once tried in but smells too flasy and bitchy. Smells really artificial.

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...

It's really tempting if you have cash :P
