Anais Anais Perfume
Item #449980
$7.61About Anais Anais
Anais Anais by Cacharel arrived in 1978 and became an instant classic—one of those rare fragrances that actually deserves the hype. Created by Cacharel, this fragrance was born from simplicity and sincerity. The scent draws its name from the French filmmaker Anaïs Nin, and there's something literary about wearing it. Unlike the heavy florals that dominated the '70s, Anais Anais felt fresh, almost innocent. It's a fragrance that doesn't whisper—it speaks clearly and with conviction. Decades later, it remains a benchmark for what a floral perfume can achieve.
Fragrance Family:
Floral
Scent Type:
Light floral, fruity, green, fresh, powdery
Notes:
Anais Anais opens with a burst of hyacinth, lilac, and green notes that feel almost herbal. There's something slightly tart about it at first—almost like walking through a garden after rain. The heart reveals jasmine, rose, and honeyed florals that soften into something genuinely pretty without veering into saccharine territory. Grasse violet and lily-of-the-valley add depth. The base settles into a gentle combination of sandalwood, musk, and a whisper of amber. It's warm enough to linger, but never heavy. The whole thing feels balanced in a way that modern fragrances sometimes miss.
Suggested Use
Apply Anais Anais to your pulse points—wrists, behind the ears, the base of your neck—while skin is still warm. It works best when you let the fragrance develop on your skin rather than spraying yourself into a cloud. One or two spritzes is plenty. The scent performs best in warmer months or as a daytime fragrance, though it's versatile enough for evening wear if you're looking for something subtle. Layer it lightly; this is a perfume that rewards restraint.
FAQ for Anais Anais
What does Anaïs Anaïs perfume smell like?

It is elegant, feminine, and timelessly graceful.
What kind of scent is Anaïs Anaïs?

What season is Anaïs Anaïs perfume best for?
Anaïs Anaïs is best suited for Spring and Summer, when its fresh floral and green notes truly come alive in the warm, breezy air. However, its soft powdery base also makes it a lovely choice for mild autumn days, offering a comforting and gentle warmth as the season transitions.
Is Anaïs Anaïs perfume suitable for all occasions?
Anaïs Anaïs is a wonderfully versatile fragrance ideal for daytime wear. Its light, delicate floral nature makes it perfect for everyday occasions such as casual outings, garden events, brunches, or time at the office. Its soft and refined character also makes it appropriate for romantic evenings or formal daytime gatherings.
Can Anaïs Anaïs be worn by both men and women?
Anaïs Anaïs is designed and marketed as a women's fragrance. Its soft, white floral and powdery profile is deeply feminine in nature. However, individuals of any gender who are drawn to delicate floral scents may certainly enjoy wearing it as a personal expression of their style.
Where do you apply Anaïs Anaïs perfume?
For best results, Anaïs Anaïs should be applied to the body's pulse points, including the wrists, the sides of the neck, behind the ears, and the inner elbows. These warm areas help diffuse the fragrance gradually throughout the day, allowing the full floral bouquet to develop beautifully on the skin.
How long does Anaïs Anaïs perfume last?
As an Eau de Toilette, Anaïs Anaïs typically lasts approximately 4 to 6 hours on the skin. Longevity may vary depending on skin type, body heat, and environmental conditions. Applying the fragrance to moisturized skin or layering it with an unscented lotion can help extend its presence throughout the day.

Too floral and overpowering
I really wanted to like this scent but it smelled like an old fashioned flower perfume and the orange blossom was so strong it just overpowered all the subtle notes. I definitely got the white flowers at the beginning and the scent lasted all day. If you like smelling like a flower bouquet this is for you.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

My New BFF
This perfume has become my new best friend. It is so enticing, I can't stop sniffing. I'm sure people think I'm working some covert op because I frequently have my nose attached to my wrist, like talking into a hidden Mic. Lol. I wear it every day. I'm on the waitlist for a larger size bottle. It sells out fast!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I Love Anais Anais
I have been using Anais Anais for forty-some years. My daughter in California introduced me to it. I couldn't find it here at that time, but later it became available in a city about fifty miles from here. Much later it became available here in Clearfield. Now I can order it on line and this is SO very convenient. I use it all the time because it has a lovely scent and I receive many compliments on it.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Tried & True
I have worn Anis Anis since I was 19 years old & I am now 57. This fragrance is timeless and I always get compliments when I wear it. It is my signature fragrance. Cacheral has apparently discontinued its retail sales of this fragrance in the US since I am unable to find it at any retail stores. I can only find it online and FragranceX is my "go to" site to purchase Anis Anis. Love it.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Great buy
I have worn this fragence for 25 years. I just can't find another everyday fragrance I like. It is not overpowering, but just there. It is hard to find now, so this is the best and least expensive way to buy my signature fragrance.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Thoroughly Satisfied
I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend in the US. She loves it, adores it, couldn't thank me enough for it. She told me that she wore it when she was only a young lady, and still loves it. So far, I have bought her two fragrances from FragranceX, and she is definitely not disappointed. I am happy to have made another person in my life happy through FragranceX. Thankyou FragranceX. PS: I have a small bottle of it in my collection too!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
