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.

Statement

Our Verdict - Paloma Picasso EDP

This isn't a shy scent, darling. Paloma Picasso is a bold, take-no-prisoners chypre that screams 80s glam, but in the best possible way. Love it or loathe it, you won't forget it, and you certainly won't smell like anyone else in the room. Some find it a bit much, but if you're after 'dark, sensual, and a bit raunchy', this is your girl.

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.

Paloma Picasso

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

This powerful, long-lasting scent with significant sillage is too dominant for most office environments, though a factory worker found it a pleasant aroma for their workspace. It truly shines for date nights and formal events, exuding a confident, sexy aura. It's far too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.
