Anne Pliska
Eau de Parfum
by Anne Pliska

The Scoop
What makes a niche fragrance a classic? It must be timeless, beautifully crafted, sophisticated and sexy. Anné Pliska has it all. She is that little black dress - your secret weapon. Confident and sexy, the world at the tips of her fingers. When she walks into a room people take notice. Bergamot takes the opening bow while a warm opulent amber envelopes orange, vanilla and musk folding them into sheer amber perfection. Geraniums take center stage flushed with a touch of patchouli. Make no mistake, Anné Pliska is one confident charmer with presence and elegance. A classic.

I've been wearing Anne Pliska for 20 yrs (5 Stars) & I'm sorry but I am let down by the scent coming from the new bottle. I don't know what it is but I can really tell the difference in a negative way(3 Stars). I use up my samples before I even use my spray.

I have worn this fragrance for 15 years. Complete strangers stop me on the street or in elevators and ask me what I am wearing. This is one of those scents that becomes your signature forever and when people smell it, they think of you. It is absolutely feminine and fabulous! I also love the staying power - it lasts for hours.

Thank you to the person who gave this 1 star with the description, "Exotic dancer turned gold-digging wife of an oil baron shows up late and slightly drunk to a luncheon at the country club." I love it. I've renamed it when ppl ask me what I'm wearing.

On my skin, Anne Pliska stands for comfort and elegance! Not cheap, overly sweet or linear at all! I would say; a vanilla fragrance for grown ups. I give it 4 stars because it reminds me a little of my all time favorite: Organza indescence, which I give 5 :)

Reminds me of hi school... Smells like a modern CK Obsession. Gets better the longer you wear it. Love it for the evenings.

I was pleasantly surprised by this perfume. The opening is very bright and warm. Once it settled I was left happily with a mild, spicy cream combination. Don't know if I'd wear in very warm weather, but beautful for the colder months.

I tire of most fragrances after one bottle. I have been wearing Anne Pliska for 25 years, and I still love it. Whenever I wear it, I am complimented by someone...usually many people. It is such a lovely fragrance, and men particularly like it!!

Anonymous -Real Estate Broker from Granbury, TX

Yes, it smells like Obsession (with a little Lolita Lempicka), but the new and improved variety. Lasting power and sillage are awesome, almost incredible. I see this as more of an evening perfume. My better half likes it very much - and he is beyond picky.

Rating:

Bettie -Homemaker from Seattle

Ooh, this is good! There's sweet orange & vanilla in the opening, but also something deep & smokey in there, cool & yet warm. There's a hint of spice & then a salty sweetness, & it does remind me of Shalimar. The heart is creamy & smooth, with a raw, resinous amber weaving in & out, & the drydown is a powdery, cookie-like vanilla. Sillage & longevity are good. l think this is one of the few ambers that would work well at any time of the day or year & in any situation. lt's gorgeous, comforting & sexy, but never in-your-face, & it's the one l'd turn to when l want to smell good without being too obvious.

teardrop - from southampton uk

This does smell like a mix of Obsession and Shalimar. And the drydown is pure creamsicle. But it's not bad at all...it does seem elegant, an evening type of perfume. The lasting power and sillage are incredible. A couple of light sprays of the EDP and you're done for the day...and on into the night! I can't even imagine the strength of the perfume extrait.

Ever wanted to smell of a Dreamsicle but found that particular desire a little adolescent for general use? Well, here you have it, an orange and cream confection, all grown-up (with a hint or two of spice) and ready to wear. While there’s little mystery to this fragrance, it is so delightfully cheerful and pretty, you can’t help but want to wear it. Another plus (especially considering its price) is its sillage, which sits comfortably at middle distance – and, what’s more, though you know people can smell it, you also know that something this nostalgic and beautiful couldn’t offend a single person around you, even the austere. This is a great example of what all of those creamy, fruity, citrusy, candyfloss florals could be (and should be like!) – taking an adolescent desire and theme, and dressing it up and making it inedible enough so that it is not only fit for wear, but can and should be worn liberally.

This reminds me of Shalimar more than Obsession, FYI. I like it but I already own Shalimar (and the light version) so probably don't need it. I love the price point. Luckyscent needs to continue to offer under $100 fragrances (then we can buy more!).

I have mixed feelings about this one because of how strong it is when I put it on AND a somewhat sharp note that can be too much. BUT when it dries down it is so sexy! A light, powdery, sexy amber.I bought it as the ultimate "seduction" elixer. Would be great if it could be "lightened" a little. I don't think this is an everday scent, at least for me. Reminds me of an old scent-Emeraude (sp) by Coty.

As a flight attendant I'm very aware of smells as we work in a very tight environment. I have used it for the past 17 years and every trip I get a complement on the way I smell.

I love this perfume--it makes me feel threatening and dangerous, but in the most demure way possible. Wonderful to wear and savor even in day (though I'm guilty of amber-heavy everyday wear). It's a steal, yes--so you get a sad, obviously plastic lid to top an otherwise lovely brushed glass bottle. Lid is awful. I don't think it could look tackier. I've thrown the lid away and will display without. Fragrance: 4.5 stars/5 Packaging: 2 stars/5

This is just orange and amber on my skin. Strong and heady, but I usually like my perfumes that way. This one however, did not sit well with me. More sweet than I'd like and not spicy at all (at least on me). Will pass this one.

Chemistry is key! When I first put this one it has a pencil lead smell to it that I found at first really discouraging. But it's been about an hour and not only is this lovely scent not budging on my skin, it has warmed into something truly wonderful. BF loves this one too. Anne wins in every way.

Oh, it's an amber one for sure. These ambers take time to develop with your body heat. Plastic notes at first and they are so unpleasant to me, but after 15, 20 minutes it changes to something nice smelling. Wouldn't want a bottle. There's too many other ones I like .

Liz -grade school teacher from The Pacific Northwest

Wow. This is one chemistry-dependent scent. Luckily for me, I can wear it. This has been one of my absolute favorites for several years now. Yes, it's sweet, but on me, it's ambery, resiny, and almost cold-incensey (kinda like the Etro MdM cold-incensey). I don't get any sort of creamsicle or powdery thing going on. Obviously, if you haven't tried it, & are interested, you need to sample it.

After reading the comments about the scent, I thought I would love it; I don't. The orange beginning reminded me of those powerful room fresheners that feature citrus notes, then the scent gave way to a rum and cola drydown that left me feeling vaguely nauseated.

Rating:

Anonymous -Acting Teacher from Yakima

I don't feel it comes on that strong at first. I would call the first notes sparkly and bright and crisp and then it quickly melts into a lightly sweet softness and a sexiness and a sophisticated air. It has a lot of different aspects of a woman's personality in one. I do get a faint sweet orange candy scent, but very soft, not at all the domineering note. I do get the amber coming through, which smooth, warms and rounds the fragrance. I like it.

Rating:

perfumeprincess - from Meford

The citrus makes a very brief appearance, along with some of the other notes. Then amber, amber, amber, amber and guess what. Not much else on my skin. This is probably lovely for someone who loves that kind of smell, but for me, just a little one-dimensional. Kind of smells like a festival, which is not a smell I dislike, but not something I want to smell like (but just you watch, I bet this will be the one that drives my SO crazy).

The first time I sampled this I didn't really love it. It reminded me so much of Obsession, only not as sharp. The second time I sampled it something happened and now I absolutely adore it! The price is also very good for a niche fragrance, I'll definitely be buying a bottle (the creme is fabulous too!).

I agree this parfum is on the sweet side, that's why I love it. It's alluring and sexy. I have never failed to receive a lovely comment while wearing it, from men and women alike. Once while in an elevator a dashing gentleman said "You smell like cookies" by the smile on his face... trust me this was a good thing.

Dove - from Columbus, Ohio

This is a beautiful scent. It does start out rather strong, but has a nice drydown scent. This parfum is definitely for oriental/spice lovers. Personally, I think this is a winter scent, maybe a little strong for summer. Give it a try though..........!

At first when you put it on it pretty much slams you in the nose with a strong unpleasant spicy scent, then after a while, the dry down is actually not bad and becomes much softer, but I still don't think it's for me. It's just a very strong scent in general and certainly not a Spring or Summer scent.

Dead ringer for the old chewable St. Joseph's baby aspirin. Reminds me of being sick and kept home from school in the second grade. Not exactly what I look for in a perfume.

I've used Anna Pliska since the 80's and still love it. I turned my whole family on to it. I love the way it comes back with your body heat. It's warm and inviting. Men have commented on it and then buying it for their lady. Hopefully, their chemistry mixes with AP as well as mine did. I have many nice frangrances but AP is my Chanel!

Anonymous -system admin from Irvine

Disappointing. My body chemistry just does not work with this perfume. It smells unique out of the bottle, not like orange aspirin at all, but a little like citrusy spice. After about half an hour it smells like patchouli under dirty socks. I'm jealous of all those who have the body chemistry to wear it. I would definitely recommend sampling first - I'm glad I did.

I decided to try this perfume on account of my being a huge fan of amber. Anne Pliska took me a bit to warm up to. When I first applied the fragrance, I wasn't impressed. It smelled a bit woody from the patchouli, a scent I don't love. But it also reminded me of someone or something, so I was intrigued enough not to get rid of my sample. Over the next few days, I took to sniffing the vial at random points throughout the day, and finally I put some on again. The scent has definitely grown on me. It' unique and also oddly reminiscent of something at the same time. It feels familiar and safe, but also rather confident and sexy. It does have a bit of a powdery drydown from the amber, but the scent isn't old lady. The more I wear this the more I like it. I'm still more in love with my everyday, signature scent, but I will be breaking this out for a nice change of pace.

Lexi - from Newport Beach

Reading these reviews I'm reminded again how widely human chemistry and olfactory tastes can differ... I was so excited to try this since everyone raves about it. I dabbed some on and was immediately assaulted by sharp, boozy, sickeningly sweet fruit. This was reminiscent of ersatz orange-cream soda or canned mandarin oranges in cheap whisky. After drydown I got citrus air freshener, sharp, somewhat bitter. After an hour or two, not much better: rotting orange rind... artificial orange candy. People say it's "for a woman who knows who she is." For me it seems for a loud, insecure woman clamoring for attention: "I'M HERE! The can of orange-cream soda is HERE! The creamsicle-wrapped-in-cotton-candy-dipped-in-sugar-cane-rum is HERE for all of you to fawn over!" For me this perfume conjures up not elegance or confidence, but excess, corpulence, pushiness, insecurity, abrasion, American confection... How disappointing! I just know there are some lovely, lovely women whose chemistry suits this perfectly and who smell delicious in it. Not for me.

Hmmm... if this is the penultimate amber, I'm wondering what the ultimate amber is. IMO, it's Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan. Still, Anné Pliska is a keeper. Nothing else dries down like it. Delicious, resiny, sweet but not gourmand... addictive. A must-have in any amber lover's collection.

The penultimate amber fragrance. My favorite amber fragrance of all time. I'm a skeptic, so even if I loved Anne Pliska upon first sniff, I had to go off trying other ambers that all turned out to be dupes trying to be Anne Pliska. But after coming to my senses I have circled back to Anne. This hothouse scent oozes sensuality, and does for amber what Habanita does to tobacco and Fifi Chachnil does for coriander. Luckyscent is right: this is a classic, and a full-bottle-worthy must-have.

rich, wonderful, warm and luxuriant. Many of the same notes as Calvin Klein's orginal Obsession, but more refined, and creamier. Also a bit heavy, but I love "heavy" scents that others may only want to wear in winter. However, I wonder if it evaporates early on me - or if i just can't get enough of it.

Gourgeous when just applied! I thougt I would make a hole in my arm, so much I was sniffing it. I have never run into such effect when each of the components are distinguishly detectable and though form one consistent beautiful fragrance. It was really like I had applied all the components one by one to create this smell. I thought I found the perfume of my life... But the drydown! Uhh! It is so cloying, so sweet and so simple. Such a pitty. Sample first!

If you love soft orientals, this is a must try. A beautiful amber scent that really gets the compliments! Wow! Men and women love it. I have had strangers come up to me and ask what I am wearing. The sillage is great; it has presence. Very sophisticated and sexy. I have lots of others, but if I had to give them all up but one, I would choose Anné Pliska.
