perfume review : Anna sui forbidden affair

Alhough my previous anna sui perfumes are not finish yet, i already got the new one (thanks to my hubby). Yup, Anna sui perfumes are my favourite. You can check my post here about anna sui perfumes i've tried. This one i bought at SOGO plaza senayan, and i was happy that i bought it there. The nice SA gave me some anna sui freebies!!!! look,, this is what i got for free;

i got a disco metalic pink cosmetic bag, a miniature of anna sui secret wish (OMG this is my fav prefume ever!) and 2 samples perfume of forbidden affair

this is the miniature of anna sui secret wish.. yeaaaayyy now i have the mini size of my favourite perfume.. now i can take it anywhere..

and this is the sample of forbidden affair..

ok now back to... Forbidden affair..
The packaging is cute, nice, uniqe and sooo girly, just like other Anna sui perfumes packaging. i loove all anna sui packaging.

 This one the theme is purple and princess.. with a cap lool like a crown.

i'm not an expert of perfume scent so it's hard to describe what's nehind the scent. anyway.. i googled it and i got this long,nice  and clear information from www.fragrantica.com.

Forbidden Affair is the new fragrance from the imaginative designer Anna Sui inspired by the land of dreams, fairy tales and fantasy. In this world, every girl can feel like a princess; she can be adorned and privileged, allowing herself a dangerous and forbidden romance with the prince of her dreams. Forbidden Affair fragrance reflects the forbidden love and a wild longing, fantasies and some long-past times, revealing the hidden passions that you did not know existed.
The fragrant composition incorporates, for the first time, Cyclodextrin technology. This technology allows the top notes to re-emerge over and over again, invigorating for an ongoing sparkling fresh fragrance experience.
Anna Sui Forbidden Affair begins with a romantic fairy tale told by fresh lemon and red and black currants, which are slowly developing into the heart of raspberry, rose petals and pomegranate. Tempting and somewhat mysterious aromas make this perfume not as innocent as it may seem. Intriguing accords of violets, cedar and musk form a seductive base of long-term affection.
Top notes: lemon, black currant, red currant.
Heart: raspberry, rose, pomegranate.
Base: violet, musk, cedar.
The whole design concept is dedicated to a secret rendez vous between a prince and a princess with the taken from traditional fairy tales like Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. It was inspired by Baroque and Rococo gardens, Baroque palaces, boudoirs, royal fashion and the lavish lifestyle. This style brings us back to the mid-18th century.
A secret garden and a gate where lovers meet in the dusk, in order to remain unnoticed by king and queen, is portrayed on the perfume box. The bottle itself is shaped like oval mirrors of baroque boudoirs. The stopper is shaped like a rose bud that is about to blossom, symbolizing the Anna Sui brand.
The well-known British model Lily Donaldson is the face of the campaign, shown standing near the gates of the palace dressed in a princess lavender dress, with tiara on her head and crown jewelry making her dreamy and stylish. 

What i think about this perfume..
 it has a sweet and nice scent, and it's soft.. not that strong. i like it, it's just like secret wish, but this one smells more mature & grown up than secret wish. This forbidden affair is like for when you are spending some romantic time with your husband or have a date.. because it smells romantic. i love it. not as much as i love secret wish, but you know what, this one is number two on my fav list! Now i can't wait to try the new one from anna sui, Rock me.

Anna sui perfume

i am a fan of anna sui perfume since.. hummm.. 7-8 years ago? i don't know exactly, but now i realized ever since i fell in love with the perfume at the first sight (yup, first sight, because of the cute packaging), and then of course also,  fell in love at the first smell, since then i never cheated to other perfumes.. well, unless if i got another perfume as a gift then i will use it too as alternative of my fav anna sui.

At this moment i realized that i have 4 anna sui perfumes on my make up table, so i decided to write about it. and as i started, i remember that before these 4 perfumes i used to have lots of anna sui perfumes before, and it was always anna sui, only different variant. anyway, let's start with review..
my Anna sui collection :

from left to right : anna sui secret wish (this is my second bottle of anna sui secret wish) - anna sui dolly girl - anna sui dreams - anna sui forbidden affair

anyway, i am not expert in reviewing perfumes. i don't know what kind of scent, what kind of flowery or spices scent in the perfume, so i will just share my thought about each perfume, and i will start from the first anna sui perfume i've tried until the current ones.

anna sui dolly girl on the beach

this is my first ever anna sui perfume. i was still in college (but forgot which semester), i saw this on the magazine and i fell in love with the cute and girly packaging, but then i just forgot it. no money (college girl remember?) one day, my father was in singapore in business trip, and as always, when he was in singapore airport before leaving singapore, he called us, telling us that he was in airport duty free and asked us what we wanted. my mom started to mention some brand lipstick, my sister i forgot what she asked, but as for me, somehow i just remember anna sui perfume that i saw on the magazine, just like that. so i said it. anna sui dolly girl on the beach! my father was like.. "what?" then he gave the phone to the Sales assistant there, and i said, anna sui dolly girl on the beach! and she said, got it. just like that.. then when my father arrived at Jakarta, i got my first dolly girl on the beach yeaaayyy.. and i fell in love wuth the scent straightaway. it was fresh, sweet, not too much that makes you sneeze, just perfect for a college girl or active girl. i finished this perfume until its last drop! overall, this perfume says, " hi, i am an active fresh sporty girl and i love nature"

anna sui secret wish

since i loved my first anna sui perfume i started browsing for anna sui perfume. the price, other variant, where to buy, etc. i even went to the dept store to anna sui counter and spray some tester on my hand, and i fell in love with secret wish and decided to buy secret wish for my next perfume.. but sadly, buying from counter is so expensice.. :( and then i got that chance. my family travelled to singapore for holiday. and perfume there somehow cheaper, so i bought it there. it smells very sweet and fresh too, just like dolly girl on the beach, but this one is more adult i think (dolly beahc on the girl represent young, active college girl). anyway, this one is my favourite from all anna sui, as i told you, the one in the picture is my second bottle that i bought 2 years ago. still my favourite till now, and guess what.. even this one is my husband's favourite. everytime i sprayed this and walked around him, he always said, you smell sooo good. one day he even told me "make sure you always have this perfume" haha.. oh, and this perfume says, " hi, i am a sweet lovely feminine  girl and i have a date tonight"

anna sui flight of fancy

I bought this when it was the era of online shop on the net, and so many sellers offer cheap perfume, well of course, not original. and i am interested! i love anna sui and why not to try this cheap one? so i started looking for anna sui KW 1 perfume, not really that cheap but much much cheaper than from the counter.around rp.150.000 (while from counter around Rp.600.000). so ok, i confess, i bought this anna sui flight of fancy kw 1. it smells ok, similar with the original one, but you know what... after a year, it changed colour and it changed smell! in all anna sui perfumes there is this logo with number 36, which means can be used for 36 months after it opened. and yes, my original anna sui perfume, even after two and half years it doesn't change colour and smells still the same. but the KW 1 one, it changed colour and smells. it smells weird after a year.. hahaha.. well, it's a lesson for me though. when i told this to my mom, she said, that's why with kw 1 you use it lots and generously, i even spray my bed room with it!

anyway, back to perfume, the scent is more adult, still soft and not too much, but more elegant and more "night use" perfume. overall, this perfume says "hi, i am a sweet lovely girl and i am going for a date"

anna sui love

this one i bought together with flight of fancy, so it is also not original. i just like the packaging. i like butterfly. my old room in my parent's house was full of butterfly. butterfly bed sheet, butterfly pillow, butterfly sticking on the wall, butterfly photo frame.. etc. and when i got it, i don't really like it. well, it smells good, but not me. not my character or type of perfume. my perfume type is like secret wish. fresh and sweet, not too much. and this one is a little bit too much. something that will make me sneeze. it is more for working or businesswomen, or going to party. anyway, this perfume says, "hi, i am a chic modern woman and i am going for a party tonight"

anna sui dolly girl

after trying other anna sui pefumes, one day i missed anna sui dolly girl on the beach. i looked everywhere, not available. some counter said, discontinued, some said not available for temporarily.. and then my aunt who sells perfume offered me this. so i just took it without try the tester first. i thought it would be as lovely as dolly girl on the beach. well, it turned out i like the blue one (on the beach) than this pink one. it smells girly too much.. and i sneezed everytime i spray it on me. i don't really like it. it smells sweet but too much, like an old lady. oh, i don't even know what this perfume will say. sorry.

anna sui dreams

i bought this on my birthday as my birthday gift. yup. i bought myself a birthday gift! i think this is form 2 years ago. i was looking for a small size cute perfume to put in my bag, to carry everyday just in case if i need it. so i went to sogo  anna sui counter and i found this. the packaging, as usual, very cute, just like a bag or clutch, and it is blue! and well, it smells nice. flower smell, a little bit like secret wish but secret wish is lighter. this perfume says, "hi, i am smart, classic and elegant"

anna sui forbidden affair
