Anais Anais

Cacharel launched Anais Anais in 1978, and for many women it was their very first perfume. It remains one of the gentlest classic florals around.

White lily is the heart of it, soft and slightly green. Hyacinth adds a dewy spring note, and jasmine, rose and orange blossom fill out the bouquet. The effect is clean, tender and a little powdery.

Below the flowers, sandalwood, amber and a thread of incense give warmth. That base is why it lasts longer than people expect from such a delicate opening.

• Good for: daytime, family gatherings, anyone who prefers quiet florals.
• Not for: those who want fruit or sweetness up front.

Eau de Toilette, in 1.0 oz, 1.7 oz and 3.4 oz.

Also from Cacharel, Amor Amor is fruitier and warmer. For another soft, lily-bright floral, look at Beautiful. Visit Cacharel or our women’s perfume range.
