What Anna Sui costs
The usual price in Europe is about €48. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs less than Anna Sui Variety and Nishane Vain & Naive.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Nishane Vain & Naive and Boucheron spread further.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Nishane Vain & Naive and Boucheron last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like tonka bean and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear.
