Familiar with the dreamy Anna Sui Sky hot air balloon-inspired bottle? Cosmic Sky takes that and gives it a gorgeous blue, green and purple iridescent revamp. I’m not sure which bottle I love more between the pink original and this ethereal one- don’t make me choose! This Anna Sui perfume is marketed towards women, and I would personally say that it has a more traditionally feminine feel to it due to its sweet, delicate facets. That being said, we always believe that you should wear whatever type of fragrance makes you feel happiest and most confident – no matter who it’s aimed at. Created by expert perfumer Jean Jacques, Sky Eau de Toilette has an instantly fresh, airy effervescence. The scent opens with a kiss of crisp, juicy sweet pear, which is lifted by mouthwateringly sunny bergamot, while an exhilarating dash of pink peppercorn is thrown in as a fragrance enhancer. Reflected in both the name and the design, Anna Sui’s new Eau de Toilette is inspired by the sky, more specifically, a journey to a magical kingdom that floats on candyfloss clouds. As you soar through bright blue, cloud-dappled skies to a mystical wonderland, the wind takes you higher and higher until you reach a world of endless possibilities, where you can take your place on the throne.

For light intensity: spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders, let the fragrance fall gently around you.Although I could write about the visuals all day long, you may be wondering about the logistics of spritzing this perfume; for the easiest application, hold the perfume upside down to spray it directly onto your pulse points using your first finger. Anna Sui have thought about every last detail here; the top of the balloon is encased in a gold, lace-like design with a pretty flower pattern on top, which recalls the airy floral facets within.

Cosmic Sky smells similar to the original Sky in the sense that they’re both fun, airy fruity-floral fragrances with a strong gourmand tone. Both fragrances lead with an aquatic pear note, but Cosmic Sky feels more citrusy than the original. The heart of the original is more of an aquatic-fresh floral, whereas Cosmic Sky has a more powdery tone. In my view, the base is where the scents differ the most. The original has a really strong salty popcorn tone on my skin, but this one feels warmer, woodier and a little richer. The result? A scent that feels a little bit more sophisticated than the original Sky. Anna Sui Sky is an airy effervescence fragrance that transports you to a sparkling magical kingdom in the sky. Enjoy your adventure amongts the clouds. Soar through the air as the wind carries you higher. Take flight to a place full of endless possibilities. Here in Anna’s world, inspired dreams become wondrous reality. I’ll admit that Anna Sui does seem like a more traditionally feminine, sweet fragrance to me. So, you’ll love this Eau de Toilette if you like pretty perfumes. If you’re unfamiliar with this perfume, then Sky reminds me of fresh, dew-drenched fruits and crisp early morning air – before you get that hit of warm toasted popcorn, which is both nutty and sweet. To us here at Escentual, fragrance is gender-neutral. As long as you love wearing it, that’s all that matters. That said, if you prefer to shop fragrance by gender to help you know whether it’s for you, then it’s important to note that Cosmic Sky is presented as a fragrance for women, and it definitely has a more traditionally feminine tone due to its sweet, sparkly presence.Anna Sui’s crisp, sweet scent is warmed through in the base as though it’s been touched by the sun’s rays, revealing a surprising – but truly addictive – gourmand tone as a final treat for the senses. Cosy, sensual vanilla is drizzled over seductive, woody musk, while a handful of crunchy toasted popcorn is scattered throughout. Anna Sui Sky Eau De Toilette first opens with a welcoming kiss of juicy pears. Pillows of fluffy white clouds made of lily of the valley float through the middle of the fragrance. As the scent warms up as if by rays of the sun, the soft floral petals suddenly pop and become crunchy toasted popcorn. A charming and addictive union, tailor-made for the princess of this kingdom of delights.

If you’re looking for a fragrance that is close to Anna Sui Sky, I would say that it shares similarities with Thank U, Next by music icon Ariana Grande; both have a crisp, sweet, fruity freshness before welcoming more addictive and gourmand facets. I love the way that the fragrance lifts you up with airy notes to start but grounds you with its almost-edible, familiar gourmand base notes; it’s a very clever fragrance composition.
