Annayake Natsumi Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray is a refined Japanese-inspired floral-fruity fragrance from the Parisian house Annayake, launched in 2004. The composition opens on a chord of green grass, watermelon, ylang-ylang and lemon; settles into a luminous heart of lily-of-the-valley, orange blossom, rose and violet; and dries down on a soft base of peach, musk, plum, blackcurrant, cedar and sandalwood — designed to capture the lush herbal-sap green essence of a Japanese summer.

The story behind Natsumi
Natsumi captures the freshness of a Japanese summer — green grass, watermelon and white florals on a softly fruity-musky base. The unusual green-grass-and-watermelon opening sets a transparent, herbaceous tone; the lily-of-the-valley and orange-blossom heart adds quietly luminous floral character; and the soft peach-musk-cedar base extends the trail into a refined, comfortable finish.
Who it's for
Suited to wearers who love refined, transparent floral-fruity feminines — fans of Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey, Hermès Un Jardin Sur Le Toit or Bvlgari Aqva Divina will find Natsumi a familiar match with deeper Japanese inspiration. Best in spring and summer; ideal for daytime, work, holiday and refined occasion use.
