Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Anais Anais EDT

Divisive and unapologetically vintage, Anais Anais is a love-it-or-hate-it floral bomb that evokes sharp nostalgia for some, and a headache for others. It's a statement, certainly not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but those who 'get' it adore its classic charm.

Our Verdict - N°19 EDP

This isn't your mum's powdery floral. Chanel N°19 EDT is a divisive beast: some hail it as a green, aloof masterpiece, while others are baffled by its sharp, bitter nature and weak modern formulations. It's a proper cold shoulder if you can get the right vintage, but a pretty forgettable floral if not.

Season and Occasion Fit

Anais Anais

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date Casual

Its potent floral nature and substantial sillage make it a bit much for a quiet office, though some find it acceptable in moderation. It suits a romantic date or a formal event where its classic elegance can shine, but it's far too heavy for sport.

N°19

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its clean, sophisticated greenness makes it suitable for office and formal wear, provided newer formulations are applied liberally. The sharper, more aloof character means it's less ideal for casual or romantic dates. It's a 'power' scent, not a playful one.
