Cacherel Anais Anais

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

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.

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 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.

This seems to be well-loved scent for many but the first time I smelt it, the cloying powdery sweetness surprisingly didn't give me a headache but was very offensive to my nose. This is a recognisable scent and after smelling it on other people over the years, it comes across as a delicate floral scent that is strong yet not overpowering. To me I would associate it with the vibe of an independent and feminine woman who knows what she wants. I am not a fan of the packaging, very old-fashioned and not my style. Fragrance-wise, I think for the right person, this would be a beautiful wear-everyday perfume.

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 fragrance comes in a mostly white bottle with a gorgeous peachy, orangey coloured flower on the front, just so pretty.

The fragrance itself has a very floral scent with orange blossom being prominent firstly and then you can pick up white lily and jasmine. I have always said I feel this is a scent for older ladies as it is sweet and I do get a hint of powder.

I think you would have to be careful not to over do the application because it can be quite strong to start with, so a little will last a good long while.

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.

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.
