by Anna Sui
Sky by Anna Sui is a light, airy, and whimsical fragrance that evokes a pastel dreamlike quality—like a fairytale cloud or a sun-drenched day at the beach. It opens with bright, juicy pear and a subtle spicy pink pepper, leading into a delicate, cool floral heart of lily-of-the-valley, lotus, and rose. The most distinctive note is the popcorn accord, which adds a soft, salty, airy gourmand nuance that is more reminiscent of clean laundry than actual candy. This gives the scent a unique, offbeat character that sets it apart from typical floral fragrances. The drydown features a powdery musk and vanilla, delivering a mild sweet warmth that feels innocent and wearable. While the sillage is intimate and longevity is short, around 4 hours on skin and longer on fabric, the fragrance makes a strong impression when worn, especially in warm spring or summer weather. It's a day-only scent, designed to be soft, fresh, and comforting, with a nostalgic, carefree vibe. The bottle, with its delicate hot air balloon design, enhances the overall aesthetic, making it visually appealing even if the scent is fleeting.
