From your scent profile
M. Micallef Ananda Eau de Parfum opens with pear and plum, moves into a floral heart of mimosa and violet, and settles on vanilla and white musk: a fresh, sweet scent made for women.
Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.

CreamyWhat does Ananda (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most chosen occasions. It reads mainly feminine, with some voters calling it modern or classic.
Pear and plum give the opening a fresh, fruity sweetness. In the heart, mimosa and violet add a soft, powdery floral touch. Vanilla and white musk leave a creamy, sweet trail at the base. M. Micallef Ananda Nectar and Poiray Parisian Rose have a close profile.
