She says it's so fresh and delicate! I think it's very harsh and offensive. Many Cacharel scents are so. They look so innocent and becomes offensive when worn. I can't stand the smell of Anais Anais on my skin. It smellslike a mix between funerals and a pretending to be naive girl. For sure this has to do with schooltime memories, but the fragrance itself is harsh, pungent and cloying, all at the same time.






It is a strong white floral. I tried it again recently for the memories & it is still pleasant to wear & is affordable. However, it is quite overpowering & headache inducing, so I wouldn’t buy it again.
The lasting power is excellent & the simple bottle is sophisticated.

BUT...
The delicate floral I remembered, turned into roadkill under a rubber tire on my skin. The leather base note is VERY strong.
I can appreciate it, it's a beautiful classic fragrance, but unfortunately I can't wear it.

Brings out a feeling of cleanliness and peace. And no it's not boring. It's absolutely a lively ,vibrant perfume.
I just wish this fragrance suited my skin...The wonderful floral notes last very little on me, and after a while all i get is leather... I'm so jealous when I smell it on other women!

It is more or less the same as with Amarige. They both have -for me- a strange wake up memories power.
Maybe this is the trick.
Try it, you will know what I mean.

And, of course, leather. White, soft, slightly oily , tiny-size leather glove.
I think, those 3 components are the stars in this timeless scent.
When I look sometimes at the endless clones that are massively produced nowadays, I feel pleasure in knowing that this perfume is nothing but.

The ingrediants alone convey a very complex fragrance, and almost makes me wonder what is NOT in it!
As stated before, not everything works for everyone, and I have experimented with many fragrances throughout the years in search of my signature one.
Anais Anais is NOT the one for me.

Update:
I decided to give this another try to see whether my opinions might have changed. At first spray I realised why I didn't like it, it smelt rather like the weeds that are so common in Australian fields. It was greenish and sour. However, the drydown of this fragrance which I'd previously missed was rather likable. It wasn't unique in any way, but was rather soapy, powdery and fresh. Still not my cup of tea but not as bad as I previously thought.









I think this perfume brings back memories for many people.


It really bothers me when I hear people saying it smells old. WHAT?!?
And musky? Where? How?
Pleaaaase... this perfume is a floral light scent: it has flowers that bloom mostly in May and June - therefore I associate this with young, not with old!!!!! If it was spicy, oriental.... I would understand, but - HELLO! it is a light floral!
And OMG! a funeral parlor?!?!?!?!?!? How can you see it this way - again - it is a light floral! This is not a heavy scent, it is not Fracas or A la Nuit (which I adore, by the way). There are no lilies in it, which are the flowers most associated with funeral, and it has lemon, moss- which means fresh! I have not been yet to a fresh funeral!
I find that most people hating this perfume are either too young and unexperienced, or too stuck with the new awfully boring sweet gourmand scents that all the new actresses / singers (which I would not trust anyway when it comes to my fragrances) advertise.
Also, there is a trend nowadays to turn your nose to everything that was made before 1990 - just check the opinions on those perfumes - you will always find a young girl saying it smells like her grandma. Well, grandma had style and you do not, because you judge the quality by how new it is, not by how good it is!
There, I said it! It is off my chest!

I wish my chem fitted this, but unfortunately not.
