A closer look at Annayake Anna EDP
Annayake is the house behind Anna EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts longer than Tocca Cleopatra. Base notes like patchouli and amber are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Parfums Gres Cabotine Variety and Jil Sander #4 spread further.
