by Anna Sui
Night of Fancy by Anna Sui is a soft, creamy fruity gourmand with a delicate blueberry and strawberry opening that evolves into a smooth, milky, and subtly incense-laced drydown. The dominant notes—cashmeran, olibanum, and milk—create a warm, slightly powdery, and skin-close feel that leans toward a tender, romantic evening scent. It carries a momentary burst of juicy fruitiness before settling into a clean, airy floral-wood base, reminiscent of a blueberry milkshake with a hint of frankincense. While the fragrance is praised for its elegant, non-cloying sweetness and its ability to feel both girly and mature at once, it suffers from weak projection and short longevity. It’s well-suited for night wear, especially in autumn or winter, and reviewers often note it doesn’t linger past a few hours. Still, its soft sillage and comforting aroma make it a favorite among those seeking something gentle and undramatic.
