Tsukimi Annayake for women

Tsukimi is light and dry on my skin, even flat, like a cinnamon in powder (Rousse by Lutens goes this way), while Kenzo Elephant is more oily and heavy, with juicy hint of vanilla. The first whispers, the second roars... I have more respect for the jungle giant, but I would prefer the silent friend:)

I feel cinnamon and a little bit of plum. Nice, warm and cozy scent for colder days of winter and autumn. Still i prefer Kenzo jungle Elephant for the greater lasting power and complex sillage.

It has little similarities with Organza Indecence and more with Jungle elephant Kenzo

I agree with jubal, it's such a perfect scent for autumn! When I sniff it I can almost feel the pale autumn sunshine caressing my face and see the rustling, colorful leaves all around me. I feel really lucky to have discovered this scent.

Smells like true incense I love it for the winter!

I'd agree that Tsukimi is comfort in a bottle. I get mainly a cashmere soft sandalwood and pure non sweet vanilla from this and they wrap around me like a shawl. It is an extremely beautiful scent, has some good sillage, though never overpowering. And decent lasting strength. It is Annayake's 'Fall' scent and epitomizes autumn to me.

A friend's mother is Japanese and when my friend (who usually hates all fragrances) sniffed this on me she said she'd finally found a scent she loves, that it reminded her of her mother's closet. She had evidently used some sachets with a similar scent.

A veil of calmness, yes, I coudn't agree more. It is one of those anti-crisis scents that save me during obstacle races.

In general, it is associated more with incense fragrances. There is a cinnamon solo (or pan-fried apple with cinnamon) in the smoke of peaceful incense. Its aura reminds of an atmosphere of eastern temples, it does bring a kind of yoga enlightenment.

There is smth inside that serves as stress-relief, makes you relaxed but strong and concentrated at the same time. With this scent I was learning to drive a car and coping with the rush job but never wore it for a party or a date.

Due to its warm oriental spicy nature I prefer to wear it in autumn and winter.
