Fantasia Mermaid
A mermaid adrift on the waves: bright mandarin and blood orange melt into jasmine, lychee, vanilla and honey.
Perfumer: Christian Provenzano
Fantasia Mermaid is part of Anna Sui's Fantasia series, and its subject is an elegant mermaid drifting on the swell of the waves. The Japanese site frames it as an enchanting world seen from the water.
That page describes a florient-style bouquet sweetened by fruit and spice into something openly seductive. Sweet mandarin and blood orange make the opening bright, with cardamom and pepper adding a light bite.
Jasmine, lychee and peony form the heart, where the florals take on a juicy edge. Vanilla, honey and tonka bean pool in the base, and blond woods give that richness a pale, quiet finish.
