EDT · 2005 · womens

Anna Sui built her brand on bold maximalism and gothic-romantic aesthetics, and her fragrances reflect that same theatrical sensibility. Secret Wish arrived in 2005 as an EDT that distills her house signature into something more wearable and approachable than her heavier releases.

The opening pulls fruity and fresh with lemon, marigold, melon, and peach, creating a bright, somewhat unconventional top that leans slightly herbal from the marigold. Black currant and floral notes develop in the heart, anchored by a subtle pineapple sweetness that keeps things playful rather than refined. The base settles into a creamy, woody foundation with amber, musk, sandalwood, and white cedar, giving the fragrance a warm, slightly earthy finish that prevents it from feeling too juvenile.

This is a daytime floral with real personality, best suited for someone who wants sweetness without saccharine overtones. It works year-round but shines in warmer months when the fruity-fresh aspects feel most natural. If you're drawn to The Homesteader, The Tactician, or The Romantic, this fragrance will likely resonate.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Lemon
Lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
Marigold
Marigold
Pungent, earthy, and bitter-green, marigold is one of perfumery's more challenging florals. Unlike romantic rose or sweet jasmine, marigold smells of sun-warmed earth and slightly sharp greenery with a medicinal edge. It adds a grounded, uncommon naturalness to compositions that want to smell genuinely alive.
Melon
Melon
Fresh, watery, and clean, cantaloupe or honeydew melon adds a light, slightly aquatic sweetness to fragrance. It's a summer note that feels carefree and modern, closer to the transparent freshness of calone than to heavy tropical fruits. Used in light florals and aquatics to add a breezy, easy sweetness.
Peach
Peach
Ripe, juicy, and velvety, peach has a warm, slightly creamy sweetness that feels lush rather than childish in the right context. It adds a fruity sensuality to floral and oriental fragrances, and its slightly fuzzy quality can even play into tactile, skin-like accords. A note that feels like high summer.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Black Currant

Pineapple
Pineapple
Vivid, tropical, and intensely sweet with a slightly fermented, almost winey quality, pineapple is one of the most assertive tropical fruit notes. It adds an immediate, unambiguous tropical sweetness that can dominate if used too heavily. In moderate amounts it adds a lively, summery energy to fruity and aquatic compositions.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
