Annayake 2006

I have a sample of this fragrance, and after an eternity of ignoring it, I finally took it out and tested it on my skin. First impression: too warm, too dense, too heavy, somehow not my style.
After a while, the scent becomes a bit more pleasant and develops in a softer direction. Maybe I just need to get used to this type of fragrance; then I could even imagine applying it again. The scent reminds me of some plastic toy from my childhood, which makes it fascinating for me. Despite all its heaviness and sweetness, it also has something delicate, elegant, fragile... If someone else were to wear it, I would actually love to smell it (now and then). However, wearing it all day is too much of a good thing for me.
The colors of the bottle represent the fragrance excellently in my opinion.
I probably won't buy it, as it is too clove-like for my nose.
