The story behind the bottle.
Jean-Claude Astier crafted Ananda Pearl for M. Micallef, creating a floral fragrance that balances freshness and sweetness with finesse. The composition opens with pear, mimosa, black currant, plum, and lemon, which are enriched by the floral heart notes of ylang-ylang, violet, and rose. This harmonious blend rests on a base of white musk, tonka bean, and vanilla, creating a scent that is both light and deeply comforting.
Ananda Pearl’s top notes are bright but fleeting. For maximum impact, apply two sprays to pulse points. The fragrance blooms over an hour as the powdery base notes emerge, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet alluring scent.
