Story & heritage
After Jean Bousquet commissioned L'Oréal to create a perfume for Cacharel in 1975, Anaïs Anaïs arrived in 1978 and became the house's first major fragrance success.
The scent keeps the same soft, youthful vocabulary as Cacharel's fashion image: romantic, pale, floral and deliberately accessible rather than intimidating.
Materials & craft
Current US retail copy for Anaïs Anaïs L'Original lists a many-layered floral structure: hyacinth, blackcurrant, lemon, orange blossom, galbanum, bergamot, lavender and honeysuckle on top; rose, Moroccan jasmine, white lily, iris and carnation in the middle; vetiver, patchouli, cedar, amber, sandalwood, leather and musk in the base.
How to choose & style
Wear Anaïs Anaïs as the clean romantic Cacharel: cotton dresses, soft knitwear, white shirts and pearl-toned jewelry make the lily-and-musk side feel intentional rather than nostalgic.
