Yukimi
Annayaké (2004)

Another masterpience from Annayake.
Oriental-floral.

Very important note is missing here - thuja.

Dont know why it states "discontinued" here - you can buy it in France or on ebay and its on official Annayake website.

Another love from first sniff. But I think people who have too many fragrances and sampling per day 10 new ones will just pass this beauty by. Its not for everyone, same as whole Annayake conception. Its mysterious, different, so calm and so inner - not outer scent of you know what I mean. It lasts very long on my hair and it blends with skin so well, that people can not say I wear a perfume - they say you smell amazing))

Also it does not develops(as the rest of Annayake ones) as you would expect - top-middle-base notes, it just...different, acts according to wearer's skin, mood, condition)

Yukimi is fresh, but not minty-fresh, I smell more maple-red dry leaf than mint, it does reminds holiday, Christmas time and big soft snowflakes, it also associates for me with Narnia and unicorns, so romantic and peacful but also it has soft quiet amber base so you dont feel like you cold on crispy air - you feel you watch all those miracles through the window of warm house where natural woods are burning ( smell of thuja is amazing here)
Absolutely unique and unforgettable.
