Which Should You Buy?
This 2005 original is a cult classic for a reason: a fresh, clean floral that just works. Its recent reformulation, however, means it's not quite the beast it once was, leading to a love-it-or-hate-it divide among long-time fans.
No.047 mirrors the dense, layered white-floral bouquet of Cacharel's 1978 classic Anais Anais, though it renders the vintage complexity somewhat flatter and less transparent than the original's celebrated orange-blossom-and-hyacinth opening.
