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 - The Others EDP
The Others channels Cacharel's vintage classic Anais Anais, its lush white-floral bouquet softened by powdery amber and moss. That timeless, romantic femininity comes through, though it wears lighter and flatter than the original L'Original.

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.

The Others

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

The soft white-floral chypre suits spring and autumn best, staying gentle in warmth and a touch cool for deep winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Romantic and refined, it works for dates, daily and casual wear and is soft enough for the office.
