Annayake Pour Elle Annayake for women

At first, it's almost unique, very sharp and nice, slightly spicy but fresh. After a few minutes it turned into a nauseating toothpaste smell thanks to the combination of fig leaf and bergamot. I had to wash it off.

well this is a turn up for the books. not a fan of greens or tea scents (i particularly dislike the elizabeth arden green teas) but i really love this. it's so gentle and calming. there is tea there but it's tea with milk and sweet sugar rather than dry jasmine green tea, if you know what i mean! towards the end there's almost a minty note to it too. the wild flowers and bergamot are the main notes throughout for me though and i'm so glad. they sweeten and freshen this scent to a beautiful but subtle level. now i've got to try and find this baby somewhere....hmmm...?

Not my cup of tea - even if it smells like one in the beginning.
The scent started out strong with tea and citrus.
After a few minutes it turned slightly soapy on my skin and it went downwards from there.
I got a quick impression from the fig leaves before they disappeared together with the soapy smell in favour of indistinguishable florally green notes.
Later the fragrance turned more green and fresh with a little wood and the tea came through again.
Unfortunately the flowers kept lingering in the background almost till the end.
The lasting power was about 4-5 hours.
Doesn't work well with my skin, but I think it might be an interesting fragrance in combination with the right body chemistry.

just wonderful.. so fresh and light and airy.. a little woody notes after a while, which harmonize perfectly with the initial freshness.. perfect for daily wear or when you want to feel clean all day long.

First time it very good smell.
I will not forget...to be continue...

First smell on Annayake made me fall in love.

Moderatly strong citrusy smell, tender...tender...tender flowers, with perfect touch of tea notes. Has nice staying power, tones of freshness, brings the spring memories over and over again.

If you are a floral green type of person, or fancy citrus and tea notes, please dont look any further.

This is a garden of Eden.

On me, this seems to be a collage of other naturalistic perfumes I've known and loved. Starts as delicate, pretty lily/sweetpea. (Similar to Fresh Index Pink Jasmine, but less fruity.) Then, waterlily predominates w/a hint of sharp birch (similar to Lise Watier Reves). Dries down w/ some peppery wood (similar to Andree Putman Preparation Parfumee). Enough wood to have some gravitas. A pleasant scent journey!

Is this fragrance very harmonious Fresh above all things? perhaps. But it is a woodsy freshness. At first freshness of bergamot + freshness of fig leaf + freshness of sapling (not leaf, but wet bark). It`s freshness of the wild flowers then + freshness of water-lilys from a clean-clean lake. In the end tea (rather green) + wood notes (fresh and spicy at the same time) + musk, but very tender without sexual aggression. Annayake Pour Elle - quintessence of the eastern philosophy it`s really true.

I tried this. Cant remember after a few minutes. Forgettable fragrance !
