Anne Pliska - Eau de Parfum

A powdery, patchouli bomb. The bergamot gives it some initial sourness. While not at all a dupe, this reminds me of CK’s Obsession for men. I’d classify this as old-fashioned.

When I first tried this, I thought, "Nope. not for me." I thought it would be too sweet and flowery. But it quickly dries down to a is nice, sweet, slightly fruity, what I would identify as a classic perfume smell. The hint of musk cuts the citrusy sweet and floral smells so that it balances nicely.

I purchased a sample and wore it on a date. As I entered the car, all I could smell was this perfume, but not in a good way. It was overwhelming and I associated the smell with a much older woman. The next morning I could still smell it, and still considered it unpleasant.

This perfume is... S E X. I got a sample and I have to admit, when I first tested it I thought it was overwhelmingly sweet and immediately put it in my "no" pile. But, I wore it to bed and in the morning I could NOT STOP sniffing my sheets. It has the coziest, sexiest dry down. The more I tried it, the more I loved it. Warm, snuggly, sweet, sensual. It's the perfect blend of vanilla, candied orange, musk. I feel girly and playful when I wear this. It's the type of perfume that hypnotizes men.

well constructed perfume. good sillage. very warm, spicy, yet smooth too. a beautiful and timeless perfume. There were elements of this I loved on me yet I think my skin doesn't work well with patchouli unfortunately. It kind of bothered me. I wouldn't buy a full bottle but I bet one the right skin this fragrance must be spectacular! if you think the ingredients would be something you might like definitely give this a try.

I've given 5 stars for excellent customer service--thanks to Alex. I purchased this fragrance several weeks ago and I was excited to see it available here. It had been my signature scent many years ago, and it was fun to have it back again. Unfortunately, its container was faulty and I was only able to use it a few times. Because I had used some of it, I didn't think I could return it, so I didn't directly ask for a replacement. I did write a review about that here, and gave it just one star--I was pretty disappointed. Alex saw my review and reached out to me right away. This company is wonderful. They're made the whole situation right again, and I'm very pleased.

I have been wearing Annie Pliska for over 15 years. I constantly receive compliments, especially from men. They say it's light and a slight tad sweet and not overpowering like most perfumes women wear. One time I was in an elevator with some other people. When elevator opened, four men came in, They all took a deep breath and asked who is wearing perfume. I said I was. They all asked to write down the name of the perfume because they want to buy it for their wife. I've also had women do the exact same thing. Now............ I think that is a terrific compliment to Annie Pliska.

I love this scent! For me it's a winter scent, warm, rich, and lush.

I have been wearing this since it came out in the late 1980s. It has been my go-to fragrance all these years, my signature scent. I love the soft, powdery vanilla, with the hint of musk and orange. I always felt a lady should smell edible. This is the one!

Give it up for the late 1980s! Back then Anne Pliska’s pretty vanilla-orange-amber warmth would have been downright reticient; these days, it’s remarkably tactile and cushiony, if a bit on the gourmand side fro me personally. Still pretty, though, especially when the subtle pepperiness of geranium kicks in.

Dark and organic. Incense and resin but sweet enough to be magnetic. Makes you want to come closer.

A beautiful vanilla-tinged amber of excellent quality. A sensual and feminine scent with just the right sweetness. Smells rich but not over-the-top. I have the parfum. I have not tried the EDP.

I've worn this scent for over 19 years and its become my signature scent. I have noticed a change in the new bottle, it's just off a little and the compliments aren't as often, also I can't seem to find it anywhere lately and I'm almost out! It's a softer scent and not overpowering. Others love it when I'm wearing it which is every day so let's get it back and hopefully in the glass bottle again.

Foolishly I bought this online without trying a sample first. It is so unbearably sweet, I can't stand the smell of myself with it on. I can't even give it away. I don't think I could stand to smell it on someone else anyway.

Double thanks to the Paralegal from Cincinnati and from the original poster Sarah for the following statement regarding Anne Pliska, "Exotic dancer turned gold-digging wife of an oil baron, shows up late and slightly drunk to a luncheon at the country club. This is the perfume she wears." Love it!! My simplistic interpretation of the original post is that AP smells like a really expensive perfume...for a stripper. And I love that! Lol. Both posts made me buy a sample and I'm glad I did. If I had to quickly describe AP, I would say that it is an orange vanilla frag with orange being dominant up front and then settling down into a citrus/vanilla. It's more complex depending on your skin but it is quite lovely. I find that AP has a similar quality to Profumum's Dulces in Fundo, which is straight up citrus and vanilla. Both are great perfumes if you like the combination of orange and vanilla. Both perfumes make me think of orange flavored creme brûlée. Def get a sample, especially if you like the idea of smelling like a sexy, slightly trashy billionaire. Lol.

Love this juice. It's a classic oriental, with a definite vintage vibe but it's modern at the same time. It's sexy and sultry but in a very grown-up way. This is a perfume for a real woman!

This is my "Chanel#5" like my mother used to wear for her20+ years. I wear Anne Pliska the same...

I have worn this since 1976 when I asked another woman "what is the scent you have on". It has been my go-to scent for all of these years, and have answered many a question to others when asked what is the scent you have on. But, I must say, with the new bottling, I have also noticed a change in the scent. It's not as clean as it used to be, and I miss the old bottle. I still wear it, but not as often, which is like not seeing your best friend as often as you'd like.

delicious, unique, special. been wearing this since 1989 and still love it. thank you lucky scent for carrying it.

Floor wax. But gorgeous floor wax in an old old large building where light streams in through beautiful stained glass windows. Maybe a cathedral. Frankenscence and myhrrh waft upward in etheral smoky plumes. You can catch a whiff now and again and it sends you to heaven. I love this scent. Middle notes are incense-y and gentle spice. It dries down to a lovely soft gentle powdery spice and lasts all day. Definitely FBW
