Ananda
Ananda is Sanskrit for bliss, and the fragrance is constructed to deliver something in that vicinity: a warm, generous floral that opens with neroli and bergamot and transitions into rose, jasmine, and peony in a heart that is full without being heavy. Martine Micallef's work with the house tends toward richness and warmth, and Ananda is the purest expression of that inclination. Vanilla and amber in the base give the finish a creamy, skin-close warmth that stays through the day.
Why We Carry This
Ananda represents M. Micallef at their most focused: a floral built around quality rose and jasmine materials, supported by a vanilla-amber base that gives it warmth and longevity. The neroli opening is the detail that keeps it from reading as generic, and the house's Grasse connections give the flower materials a quality that shows.
