Anais Anais Perfume
I like soft fragrances that are subtle and linger, not the
slap-in-the-face "odeur" that sometimes accompanies
fragrances labeled as feminine. I bought the Anais Anais Perfume
after trying it in the shop and I must admit I have no regrets.
It is soft and delicate, a mixture of musk and rose without
too much of either. It is light and that is not always a good
thing... I find that the Anais Anais Perfume has pretty much
evaporated by 3 or 4 pm and I need to reapply. However, on
days when I'm off to the gym this is actually a bonus as I
hate walking in there looking (and smelling) like I got dressed
up for the gym.
The Anais Anais Perfume
has a beautiful bottle, a round bottle with a glass "pearl"
floating inside it and this looks beautiful on any woman's
dressing table whether the bottle is empty or full. The Anais Anais Perfume
was launched back in 1987 by Cacharel, a leading French design
house. The original bottle was designed by Annegrit Beier
and the perfume itself by Jean Bousquet. Apparently it was
inspired by a 1920's film star, called Louise Brooke.
There
are many different products in the Anais Anais Perfume; for example,
dusting powder, talc, soap and deodorant spray. It the Anais Anais Perfume
that this opinion is about, although all the other products
have the same fragrance. The Anais Anais Perfume is an eau de parfum
spray, as opposed to an eau de toilette, meaning that it is
stronger and longer lasting. I always find it surprising that
it is relatively cheap, because parfums are generally pricier.
Costs vary considerably. My 30ml container cost around £10,
but this was from a shop in Barcelona. Expect to pay up to
£15.00 for this size. It is an easy fragrance to get
hold of, you can get it in most perfume shops; I've seen it
in Boots, Bodycare, Superdrug and a lot of places while on
holiday.
The Anais Anais Perfume
is available in a variety of sized bottles; these bottles
also come in a couple of different shapes. One is tall and
the other is squat, but they are all a turquoise blue colour
and made of plastic. My bottle has a burgundy band separating
the lid from the main part of the container; I understand
that on some bottles the band is blue. The designer said that
he wanted the bottle to be like a magic lamp - when you rub
it (well, squirt actually) the spirit of Cacharel comes out!
The packaging of the Anais Anais Perfume is fresh and eye-catching;
the box is covered with stylised flowers and displays the
ingredients and company information. The bottle is plastic,
as I have previously mentioned, and the cap fits securely.
When you take the cap on and off there is a reassuring popping
noise; it is quite stiff, so there is no chance that you will
get any unwelcome leaks in your handbag! Very useful info
for all us perfume wearers!
