Description
Anna Sui is launching her new feminine fragrance Romantica in September 2015. The fragrance is announced as a romantic and cheerful display of gardens in full bloom. The composition is fresh, sparkling, cheerful and floral.
A refreshing blend of mandarin, grapefruit, Calabrian bergamot and pomegranate opens the composition and leads to the floral heart of may rose, pink peoniy, hydrangea, jasmine, lily, orange blossom and osmanthus. Sandalwood, amber, white cedar and creamy musk provide the signature to the base.
Its cute perfume bottle is decorated with golden ornaments of roses and dragonflies, featuring a bud-shaped stopper. The fragrance is available as 30, 50 and 75 ml Eau de Toilette.

On my skin, opening was crowd-pleaser -pleasant-generic-fresh-floral-fruity-pinkish-shampoo-vibes.. nice, but not too special for my liking.. plus a bit synthetic, but it will pass as time goes by..
Luckily i was waiting for the drydown.. it surprisingly turns into much-much more intriguing smell..
It become muskier & a lil’ bit vanilic.. more “grown up”-smelling than the top notes..
The longevity is superb, more than 12 hours, the sillage is about 1.5-2 meters radius..
While long-lasting, it never cloying.. it stays relatively fresh while very slowly turns into a skin-scent..
As for the bottle? Adorable as always.. ^^

Reminds me a bit of D&G light blue

The second I sprayed Romantica on my skin, my first thought was shampoo. Sadly I am finding the Anna Sui brand to be more and more generic with every year.
Romantica opens with a very sharp grapefruit accord followed by peony, bergamot and osmanthus. On my skin Romantica smells quite bitter and synthetic, however this may just be due to my skin chemistry.
This fragrance does tend to be quite linear. For the most part Romantica smells clean and fruity. It would be ideal for those that want to smell like a citrusy shampoo or shower gel.
Here in Australia the Anna Sui fragrances have been relegated to the discount stores. Unfortunately the two Anna Sui fragrances that I really enjoy Anna Sui EDT and Flight of Fancy are becoming harder and harder to find. They have been replaced by the lack-luster fragrances that Anna Sui is sadly becoming known for.

A soft floral scent. It’s pleasant, but not original.
Smells a little synthetic. Resembles the smell of flower scented shower products or fabric softener. It doesn’t smell like a fresh bloom. It’s very concentrated with all the notes squished together. I can’t really pick them apart. The longevity is ok. I like the dry down better since it just smells warm and sweet and less synthetic.
I find it sweet and feminine if worn with a small amount, however too much would be nauseating. I personally don’t hate it, but can totally live without it. I own a 4ml sample and do not intend to purchase a large bottle.
