Inspired-By Comparison
Every clone rated on similarity and performance. Oils and sprays are priced on separate lines, because a millilitre of oil is not a millilitre of spray.
Oil is undiluted, so a millilitre of oil holds several times more fragrance than a millilitre of spray. Each format is ranked on its own.
Each line shows one size: a 50ml spray (30ml, or the nearest size, when the vendor has no 50ml) and the oil closest to 10ml. Vendors also sell other sizes, including samples and bulk.
Prices are converted to your selected currency at recent exchange rates. Vendors bill in their own currency, so the amount you are charged may differ slightly.

Anna Sui Fantasia is the benchmark for this scent profile. Alternatives may be worth comparing, but they are independent products and we do not present them as equivalent to Anna Sui's own fragrance.
They do not replace the original fragrance, its presentation, or the version created under the brand's own quality control. If that is what you are looking for, search the official site or trusted retailers below.

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Fantasia is a sweet-citrus woody women's fragrance from Anna Sui released in 2017. At its core it pairs a fizzy pomelo top with pink pepper for a bright, peppery opening that moves into a praline and raspberry heart where lactonic, creamy and floral facets add candy-like sweetness. Cypress and Himalayan cedar anchor the base with a green, woody finish that nudges the scent toward unisex territory. The main accords reported by wearers are sweet, citrus, woody and fruity with spicy and lactonic accents, and its 3.78/5 average from 515 votes marks it as generally liked but somewhat divisive.
Our take
I like the bottle and the fizzy pomelo and pink pepper start; it smells a lot like sweet grapefruit soda with praline and raspberry bringing a creamy core. On my skin it reads a bit synthetic at first and lasts only weak to moderate, though it clings to clothes better. The cypress gives a green, slightly unisex finish. With the split votes and short skin life, I recommend sampling before buying unless you already love very sweet, fruity scents.

The Bottle
Anna Sui Fantasia has a bottle with genuine theatrical charm. Its rounded, translucent body, pale liquid, vertical grooves and broad base are already more ornate than the usual fragrance shape, while the gold-colored unicorn above the neck and scalloped upper section push it into storybook territory. The result is unapologetically decorative and distinctive, though the visible ANNA SUI collar and spray nozzle keep the object legible as perfume.
Original or Clone
The bottle gives Anna Sui Fantasia a clear reason to remain the original: its gold-colored unicorn and ornate body make the presentation part of the appeal. The fragrance's sweet, citrus and woody character has prompted one house to make an interpretation, which confirms Fantasia has enough identity to attract imitation, even if the market evidence is small. For readers who care about the object as well as the scent, the original earns the stronger case.
