About This Perfume
Anna Sui Fantasia Mermaid smells like sparkling mandarin and lychee, sweet floral water. It opens with mandarin orange, orange and cardamom, moves into jasmine, lychee and peony and settles on honey, tonka bean and vanilla. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days. Released in 2019.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and aquatic for casual days.
- Sample first if: you have not smelled it before; it is not an easy blind buy.
- Skip if: you dislike aquatic fragrances.
Around $95.

The 23 live pieces on Scendira are entirely feminine (23 of 23) and split across Gourmand (8), Fresh (7), Floral (5), Fruity (1) and Clean & Musky (2), the "sweet-romantic-slightly-dark" fingerprint. Prices run $17.49-$95 (average $61). Standout live pieces: Thorn of a Rose ($77,.18, damask rose with pink peppery smoke), Fantasia Rose ($49,.13, cool rose petals over clean aquatic air), Violet Vibe ($77,.07, sweet strawberry cream with fizzy lemon zest), Neon Twist ($77,.06, creamy guava ice cream with citrus sparkle) and Mystic Luna ($77,.00, powdery rose perfume with soft amber haze).
