Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aromatics Elixir

Aromatics Elixir is an uncompromising chypre that demands attention with its assertive, herbal-mossy character and vintage sophistication. Not for the faint of heart, but unforgettable for true lovers of classic perfumery.

Statement

Our Verdict - Anais Anais Eau de Parfum

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aromatics Elixir

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

The mossy, earthy, spicy chypre structure thrives in cool to temperate weather, making this ideal for fall and winter. Spring works for those who love vintage florals and boldness, but the density and lack of sweetness make it less suited for hot summer days.

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date

This classic chypre's powerful sillage and complex character suit formal events and evening wear best. Its bold projection and vintage style can be polarizing in the office or casual settings.

Anais Anais Eau de Parfum

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.
