I fell in love with this fragrance years ago and I still love it. I was a young teenager when I smelt it for the first time and it's sweet and flirty scent made me fall in love. Definitely for younger ladies, screams youth, but not in a tacky 'impulse' way. Anna Sui makes amazing perfumes, I have more than one and she is definitely underated. To top of this great perfume is the stunning bottle and colour. Just stunning.

I should warn you that I usually HATE sweet, fruity and citrus-y fragrances, since they tend to smell tacky on me. So imagine my surprise when I tested this out and I just fell in love with it!! I sprayed some on my wrist and I was instantly hooked.
It's definitely a sweet perfume, but not sickeningly so or overbearing at all. It's just a pleasant mix of freshness and sweetness with a hint of citrus. Absolutely delightful for spring and summer.
I also like the body lotion for this fragrance. It smells even more citrus-y and I might like it better than the perfume itself.
Now onto the cons: The packaging is kind of cheesy and looks really tween, esp with the fairy cap, but I can look past that. Also, the staying power isn't that strong. It turns really subtle in about an hour or so of wear.
I got this on clearance at Victoria's Secret a long time ago when they were still selling it. Now I can't find it anywhere :( but if i do, I'm definitely repurchasing.

Woah. When I first sprayed this, I got a big whiff of citrus notes. I like citrus, but I think it was a bit too overpowering at first. However, it died down to a fruity apple/melon combo on me. I generally like fruity fresh fragrances so this worked pretty well. Does smell sort of generic and not so ''unique'' in my opinion. Other notes in this are: cedarwood, musk, amber and pineapple. Cute bottle too. :)

I think this is a beautiful perfume. A great one to receive when you're around 16 (like I did) as its very innocent, fairly sweet and nicely refreshing. Similar to I love love and Light Blue in my opinion, but I prefer this to both on me. Do find the staying power is useless, but I do get that problem with most perfumes. The bottle is gorgeous, and it makes a lovely addition to a collection. Nice on days you don't want to wear a sexier, heavier fragrance.

i am a fragrancaholic, if you know what i am saying, and this is definitely my favorite fragrance! it has the most refreshing flowery fruity smell but it is soothing as well. Perfect for spring, summer, and beach.

My favourite scent. I have used bottles and bottles of this perfume. It's quite sweet and refreshing. However, the staying power of this perfume doesn't seem to be too great. Nevertheless, will always repurchase as it's grown to be my signature perfume.

I have come to love this scent, and have almost finished my 30ml bottle. Actually, I have quite a soft spot for Anna Sui fragrances, and their pretty hippie style. Anna Sui's classic fragrance was my signature scent for several years, and I got through a few boudoir-friendly bottles of that - the becoming gothic shape, the black border, and rose cap.
Though I understand they are easy and somewhat generic, I have come to covet scents that fall into the citrus-cedar camp - Light Blue being the most famous, but Lanvin's Eclat d'Arpege being the one I love the most. I'm fond of Moschino's I Love Love too. I think these scents are fresh, sexy and confident. They're modern, youthful and accessible. They make me think of long, beachy hair, hoop earrings, skinny jeans and Converse pumps, cosy hoodies and vinyl records.
Secret Wish is the least sweet, in my opinion, and quite aqueous and translucent. Though no ingredients lists include herbs, I get basil and more intrestingly, fresh mint - something my boyfriend has noticed also.
I really enjoy Secret Wish in the spring and summer. It's all about a warm breeze, cut grass and icecream cones.

A distinctive scent, with strong fresh water elements, and a little light fruit and powder notes which quickly fade. Alot of people have mentioned its "almost really good, not far off", saying its nice and fresh but a little bit sharp to completely love.


Reminds me of D&G Light Blue or 4711 Eau De Cologne (which has been selling since 1775 by the way!). The fairy lid is made of strong plastic and securely shuts with a satisfying "snap!". I put no I wouldn't buy but secretly I'm keeping an eye on prices. I would probably swing the other way if the price was right.

personally i love fragrance with sweet, fruity smell, and this one is perfect for me. putting it on just brighten up my day. they are quite expansive buying it in department store, but half the price if u buy it online. i prefer package over quality and love the "fairy??" design of the bottle. the only thing is, since its so light and fresh, it is not long lasting at all, usually fade within 3-4 hour

I've used up 3 75ml bottles of this, I like it that much. When you first spray it, you can definitely smell some fruity scents -- the melon is dominant to me, but it dries down to a very light, subtle, not irritatingly sweet fragrance. Sometimes I smell Light Blue of D&G with this, but it's a special fragrance on it's own.

I walked through the fragrance section of a department store when the sales man offered to spray Secret Wish on my wrist. Right after he sprayed it on me I couldn't stop admiring the scent. I went on all day thinking if I should get it. I let the night pass and bought it the day after.

My mother in law has gotten to the point of buying her own bottle after practically "insisting" I tell her what scent I'm wearing. Now the only downfall is that my hubby would remember her mother instead of me every time he smells this, dang!

This smells exactly like the fragrance isle. Pleasant, perfumey, nondescript. It IS sweet and girly, but not in a fun or interesting way. It's a blend of all the perfumes you'll find at the department store. Also had an allergic reaction to it, due to this exact quality.

Love the scent- lemony and fresh and light and summery. Fun but refined. I didn't find the lasting power as bad as some reviews say, but then I don't like my fragrances too heavy or strong. Would definitely buy it again!

LOVE, this is my favourite fragrance hands down. I've never, ever bought more then one bottle of anything, i am usually sick of perfume before the end of it. I will be buying my second bottle of this shortly.

For me, this is a perfect scent because i find the great majority of fragrances very overpowering, overly chemically, give me headaches or smell great in the bottle but are horrific with my body chemistry.

It is a more summer-type of scent, but those are really the only kind i like -- light, airy, and citrusy. Anything heavy or spicy is nt good on me. I will say that I tend to wear Pure Grace more in the winter as it seems 'warmer' to me, but I love Secret Wish anytime.

It doesn't last long unless you spray a lot of it, but I like that because i much prefer to have a delicate scent near my body and not have it dominate a room. Especially since i work in an office, and strong perfumes have been pretty much banned. I find this is light and certainly no more heavily fragrances then shampoo or soap, so generally no one will notice it but me.

I love Anna Sui's EVERY PRODUCT! Call me crazy, haha...
This one is special...usually the package of Anna Sui is what attracks me the most! for this frangrance,however, i was totally sold by its fresh, delighted, fruity smell itself! (although i had to admit that the package is also gorgeous!) but the disadvantage is also very clear: the lasting power is so pooooor that i had to spray it over and over to make sure that myself can smell it...
Will definetly buy it again!

I first smelled this perfume on my friend's friend. It smelled so wonderful and different from most other sweet fruit perfumes. By the end of the night, I just had to know the name of the perfume she was wearing. (She tried to lie about it by saying that it's Tommy Girl..... no way, try again, lady. haha.... ).

It is a really summery and fresh scent. I don't really smell the notes described in the perfume. To me, it smells almost like freshly picked apricot. Citrusy, fresh, and a little bit fruity. I love how it makes me feel so much more girly. Also, the packaging is just so pretty with the blue juice inside. Can't beat the price either. It sorted of reminded me of Light Blue, initially. But they are completely different scent.

My only complaint is that it has no initial, middle, or end notes, because it's the same fragrance throughout. There's not much depth or variation to this perfume. Also, the lasting power is fairly poor. The scent stays strong for at most 2 hours, then fades out and can be only smelled if you hold your wrist next to your nose.

Bought this because my hubby loves the scent. I was impartial to it. After going through 3/4 of the bottle, I can say it has grown on me. Usually I don't spray more than 2 pumps of perfume on me since I get nauseated, but this scent doesn't make me feel like throwing up after a few hours. Love love this!
