The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023 by Anna Sui, Mellow Yellow is a vibrant scent that captures the essence of summer through its fruity and floral notes. Created by perfumer Christine Hassan, this fragrance opens with passionfruit and sugar, creating an effervescent sweetness that immediately uplifts the mood. As it evolves, peach and lemon add freshness and depth, while osmanthus and apple tree blossom bring a delicate floral touch. The heart of jasmine sambac further enhances the bouquet before settling into a warm base of vanilla, musk, and plum wood, offering a comforting finish.

How to wear it

Apply Mellow Yellow to pulse points for an all-day warmth. The scent's initial sweetness fades within two hours, so reapply if you want it to last through evening activities. It reads best close to skin, where the powdery base notes can linger and provide a subtle yet comforting presence.
