Anne Pliska Anne Pliska for women

Mandarins, or even oranges" skins cooked in sugar.

And then-toothpaste for kids, yes, that delicious toothpaste of pinky colour.

I have tried a sample-wondering how Anne behaves if I sprayed a lot from a bigger bottle?

so far, not impressed

75% Obsession + 25% Theorema= Anne Pliska, on my skin at least. Really enjoying this so far. :)

This just arrived today. I live in the UK and ordered this from Lucky Scent in the US (will think twice about ordeing from the US as I had to pay a huge amount of tax on it!)

Ordered without testing as I was confident this would appeal to me given the reviews here and I am not disappointed.

This was love at first sniff. Anne Pliska is an opulent cocktail of vanilla, orange, amber and spices which is perfect for a crisp autumn day. I get the comparisons with Shalimar with the smokey vanilla notes, but also find similiarities with Fendi Theorema through the orangey, boozy spice notes, and though not listed I also get a lovely hint of incence. Overall a scent that is sensual and comforting at the same time. Highly recommended!

A little Anne Pliska goes a long way. This fragrance envelopes you, (and those lucky enough to be close to you), in a cloud of playful orange and soft cream. On my skin it lasts all day. After bathing I can still catch whiffs of faded oranged amber. Some may find the amber too powdery and overwhelming and for that reason I say a little is all you need for the full effect.
I should add that once I experimented and sprayed a
little on my wool peacoat abou the collar. That was three years ago and even after two dry cleanings the fragrance remains. Talk about staying power!

Powerfull opening, amber, musk and orange with a hint of vanilla.After minutes just the power is changing the scent is still very linear.Just the zesty brightness goes away.
Simply amber aroma, very pleasant, somehow mature oriental.Deep, rich,elegant, lovely fragrance.

Luscious labdanum amber is the primary name of the ANNE PLISKA game. Wow, what a seductive perfume this is! I love the mingling of the amber with the patchouli and geranium and a dash of vanilla. Although this composition is simple and fairly linear, the quality of the notes is high and their proportions perfect to my nose. In contrast to other reviewers, I find very little in common between ANNE PLISKA and SHALIMAR. Yes, they both contain vanilla, but the focus of AP is amber, while SHALIMAR strikes me as a more complex, bluish oriental perfume.

Golden and viscous, ANNE PLISKA has pretty big sillage and fantastic longevity. All in all, this is one of the best amber perfumes I have smelled in any category (including niche) and a fantastic value for its modest price tag. This edp is even on the strong side, veering toward perfume, which is a nice change from the trend at many (not all...) niche houses to bottle cologne as edp--making the already high prices of their wares ridiculous.

I recommend ANNE PLISKA unequivocally to anyone who loves amber. A small caveat: without being overwhelming, the patchouli is noticeable--of course, that's just more good news for patchouli lovers!

I thought maybe this well priced niche offering could be for me, but alas the dreaded patchouli note is so prominent on my skin, I don't think its for me at all. I bet this would be great for a fan of patchouli or someone who has better chemistry for this fragrance. In any case, I have a FB of the parfum up for swap- please message me if you are interested! It has all of the original packaging and has been used once. Cursed chemistry!

I can only agree that this has something in common with Shalimar, but for me Anne Pliska is something more enjoyable and I actually love this little piece.
It opens sweet with loads of amber and vanilla. There are slight touches of citrus and patchoulli to add some spice, but mostly it's just delightful, creamy vanilla followed by warm notes of amber and musk.
It's extremely feminine and extremely likeable, so I suggest that every oriental lover should give this a try.
It's very cold outside at the moment and I love how this works with my skin as I feel extremely cosy. And what else? I consider this to be extremely sexual perfume as well. My nose is stuck upon my wrist inhaling this precious gem.
Really - give it a try. It has some old fashioned background, I suspect from carnation, but it works extremely well and is a winner if you want to smell cosy, yet sexual. Oh, and this is grown up stuff. Very mature vanilla.
I love it.

Anne Pliska is stunning. It's what I hoped Shalimar would smell like on my skin. Unfortunately, while Shalimar smells wonderful on many others, on my skin, it turns straight to acrid cat pee. Really. I offered my wrist to my boyfriend's mother, who concurred. Cat pee.

Anyway, Anne Pliska is entirely wearable by almost anyone. At first there is an almost candy-like orange note which dries down to the most incredibly deep, yet feminine and powdery, amber. The earthy patchouli grounds the geranium, keeping it from veering into floral territory. This is such a simple concoction, but it is perfectly elegant in its execution.

powdery combo of amber and orange with a hint of musk, georgeous scent, a true classic..very good longevity and sillage..one of a kind, I cannot find any perfume alike:)) many members compared it to shalimar, it is as unique as shalimar but softer younger vivid and happier:))

I have to agree with Zhara about the Shalimar/Obsession connection, but to me, Pliska is relatively innocent...like an inexperienced yet idealistic young lady sneaking a spritz from her older sister's perfume. It opens quite abrasively--on me, anyway--with a chemical blast that reminds me of something very dated and...er...public bathroom-ish. But it quickly settles down into a bitter-sweet powdery creamsicle that, while tantalizing, is not quite edible. Pliska is the warm, comforting scent of pearls and cashmere. It invites a long, romantic, slow-dance, but it just never really gets down-n-dirty sexy, which is nice, because such "sexy" perfumes are usually highly overrated and irritating.

Who can describe it better than the nose, Jim Bell of Givaudan:

“A beautiful bouquet sparkling with a powdery diffusive topnote, created by a blend of mandarin and bergamot.
The accord is further enhanced by the floral midnotes of geranium and jasmine creating a full-bodied heart.
The undertones of amber, patchouli, vanilla, and musk provide a long lasting sensuality to this uniquely feminine fragrance.”

Anné Pliska Parfums is a classic niche fragrance. Timeless, beautifully crafted, sophisticated and sexy. A burst of bright powdery bergamot takes the opening bow, while a warm opulent amber envelopes orange, vanilla and musk, folding them into sheer amber perfection. Geraniums and jasmine appear center stage, then a touch of patchouli melts into the ambery drydown. Perfection.

I have been wearing this fragrance since its debut. I am probably the first, and definitely the biggest, fan. People have stopped me on the street and approached me in restaurants to ask what I am wearing.

Anné Pliska will always be my signature scent.

this perfume is all my favourite oriental perfumes rolled into one truly lovely perfume.hard to get though,not many stockists of this scent in england.

Obsession's animalic metallic...
Moschino Couture's orange and poppy powdery...
Parfum Sacré's dry spicies...

Add to this some bitter orange and...
...Yes, that's Anné Pliska EDP.
Luv it too much!

Yep, can smell the orange at first application. Give it a few minutes though and the amber comes forward. Love the patchouli. Spicy with a tinge of sweetness.

This perfume to me says "sunny and happy". I'm a sucker for almost anything "amber". If you add vanilla and oranges, I'm in olfactory heaven. The scent seems fairly linear, with these main notes lasting for most of the time, but that's just fine with me. Anne Pliska goes on my "regulars" list.

I have to agree with Zhara. I used to buy this at Nordstrom's until I moved to the midwest a decade ago and have been without it since. I was so excited to find it here.
I think that it smells sexy without feeling trashy. Like wearing a beautiful gauzy sundress without a slip.
Can't wait to get a new bottle!

This is lovely. The orange note with amber and vanilla are gorgeous together. And the patchouli is very soft and adds just a tiny bit of earthiness. It has nice staying power on the skin. I do have to say that I'm not sure I see this one as oriental-at least on the way it smells on my skin. It is much more citrusy than any other oriental I have. But that is a minor detail-the scent is lovely and is absoultely worth a try.

"Oh my. Oh yes."

Those words impulsively slip out in a contented mutter everytime I slip into this fantastic, decadent, indulgent warm cloud of a fragrance.

There are three magical scents, from three very different sources, and they all share some fantastic similar notes and heady drydown: Shalimar, Obsession, and Pliska.

Of the three, Pliska is the stately, refined and mysterious member of the family, more elegant than Obsession, softer and a touch more natural than Shalimar.

Rich heavy amber from top to finish, and I could stop right there by simply talking of nothing but this decadent, sweet, un-adulterated, polished amber.

In much smaller, supporting roles, there are fruit and flower notes. Make no mistake, nothing resembling fruity candy is here; its more the tannins and heavy nectars giving their notes. This is fruit ready to be taken to the vitners, fruit that is over-ripe and dripping.

The floral notes are also earthy, heavy and concentrated - these are not daisies in sunshine - instead, think of deep red geraniums thriving in the heavy shade of a gothic garden.

Of course, the amber, musk and deep vanilla finish this masterpiece, and leave one feeling as if wrapped in the most expensive of silks and cashmere. So delightful, so rich, so......

absolutely excellent.

Grab this gem while you can - I fear it's very limited production may be entirely discontinued one day....
