Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Anais Anais L’Original Eau de Toilette
A truly polarising classic that splits opinion between utterly gorgeous, nostalgic clean florals and headache-inducing 'old lady' soap. It's a risk, but it could be your next signature.
Statement
Our Verdict - Hydrangea Eau de Parfum
This is a clean, green, realistic floral that gets a bit soapy and melancholic for some, and a public loo cleaner for others. Definitely one to sample first, as it's a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Season and Occasion Fit

Anais Anais L’Original Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its soft, clean, and sometimes 'soapy' character makes it great for casual wear, often mentioned as a bedtime or post-shower scent. While its vintage elegance could suit some formal events, its moderate sillage and 'old-fashioned' perception might not make it a first choice for modern formal settings or very active pursuits. Many mention it's office safe due to its clean nature, but others find it too strong, so a mid-range score applies.

Hydrangea Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its moderate longevity and close sillage make it ideal for office wear, as it's unlikely to offend. While some find it romantic, its clean and green character, along with reports of soapy undertones, don't scream 'date night'.
