Cacherel Anais Anais

I love this perfume! It is fresh, creamy scent of lilies & hyacinth. But I love the smell of exotic lilies too! I where it everywhere & I love the smell on other people when they breeze past me wearing it. I'm addicted to it! I have been wearing it for 10yrs. I have also tried the toilette which is a bit softer but aroma doesn't last as long.

My Husband bought me this perfume years ago & I have used it ever since. He's fussy about perfumes & the scent of creams, & this is the only one that we both like.

This is another one of those why did I buy that, left to lurk it out with the others cluttering up my drawer. I do believe I brought it during a sale where everything was under $10 so brought it untested, but knew my mum liked it so as I normally like her scents grabbed it.

The bottle has a really odd design; I don’t really like it now it’s all plastic looking and the texture is kind of cheap and plastic too when you run it through your fingers it kind of catches a little (hard to explain) with the label of the image and name wrapped around it. Has a lid that reminds me of an aerosol can lid, that pops off to reveal a silver topped sprayer which works really well and gives you enough.

The fragrance is similar to if you have a fresh bouquet of flowers, fresh from the nursery and inhale it, its floral and green, mixed with a citrus like lemons or limes, it’s quite overpowering but not sickly. I wear it on the odd day when I’ve rummaged through and found it, it’s nice for a summer BBQ date at night, it seems to work really well with night times versus sunlight for me.

Can honestly say I cant stand this perfume. Every time I smell it it makes me think 'old lady smell' wouldn't recommend it to anybody under 80.

This perfume is quite polarising. It has been on sale for many years and can be considered a classic. For me personally, I have never been a fan of this type of scent. It is incredibly powdery, and very synthetic. I find it is in the same vein as Elizabeth Arden's Red Door.

I don't find this perfume to be modern or very young

It's described as a floral, though I don't actually get any flower notes

Wouldnt over spray as its very strong, nice feminine smell for the summer months. Would be best with just one spray as the smell tends to be very sweet and strong first until fragrance settles

This was given to me when I was about 14yrs old from my Grandmother who felt this was appropriate for a young girl. I always described this as spicey flowery fragrance. The flowery blossom and then sandalwood, incence really harmonize together well, with a hint of orange is how I would best describe this. Always had to be careful not to overspray, as it can be quite potent. Its a fragrance that would suit young to mid 20's girls in my opinion.

Anais Anais is one of those classic, singular scents which I always recognise right away. I am personally not very fond of the bottle, it is a bit squat and plain - unlike the fragrance inside. Top notes are a blend of lily, rose and orange blossom, very fresh and feminine. As it settles the base notes of incense and amber are discernable but the overall impression of white flowers remains strong for hours. The sillage can fill a room so a light hand is needed when applying. I wore the eau de toilette in my twenties and felt very sophisticated, it feels like a scent for the young and carefree. I expect young women today would consider this fragrance terribly old-fashioned, which is a shame because it really encapsulates innocence and wonder. The price is very reasonable for a high end, classic scent that will last and remain relevant for a long time.
