Launched in 2005 by M. Micallef and crafted by Jean-Claude Astier, Ananda is a floral fragrance that balances fruity freshness with powdery sweetness. The composition opens with the tartness of pear and plum, leading into a heart of mimosa and violet, which adds an unexpected depth to the blend. The base notes of white musk and vanilla create a warm cocoon that envelops the wearer in a comforting embrace.

Application Tips
One to two sprays are enough — the fruity top notes are bright but fleeting. The powdery florals and musky base will linger throughout the day, making it perfect for daytime wear or a quiet evening at home.
