Ananda by the French house M. Micallef, released in 2005 and composed by Jean-Claude Astier, is a soft, fruity floral musk for women. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand and floral; about half also find it musky.

Plum and pear open it, a dark, jammy fruit against a crisp, juicy one, giving the start a sweet but not syrupy character. The heart is powdery and gentle: mimosa for a honeyed, slightly green, cosmetic softness and violet for a cool, sweet, faintly candied powder. White musk closes it with a clean, skin-like softness that keeps the fruit and flowers close rather than projecting.

About half of wearers report moderate longevity and a fifth find it long lasting; most describe a moderate sillage and nearly a third call it intimate, so it wears close. It is voted mainly for spring and summer and overwhelmingly for daytime, which suits a soft, powdery fruity floral for mild weather, the office and relaxed afternoons.

Ananda — for women fragrance by M. Micallef (released 2005). Top notes: Pear, Plum. Heart notes: Mimosa, Violet. Base notes: White Musk, Vanille. — Parfica open fragrance database
