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 - Charlie Blue Eau de Parfum

A truly divisive icon that's not for the faint-hearted. Charlie Blue is either a magnificent, budget-friendly classic or a dreadful scrubber that conjures images of dog poo. You'll love it or properly hate it, there's no in-between.

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.

Charlie Blue Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Also Works:

Date Casual

Given its strong performance and assertive mossy-woody character, Charlie Blue is best suited for casual wear where its boldness can shine without overwhelming. Its intensity makes it less ideal for office settings, though some find it acceptable for dates or more informal evening events where a retro flair is appreciated.
