Anais Anais by Cacharel Perfume for Women Anais Anais was introduced in 1978 by Cacharel, a French fragrance house founded by couturier Jean Bousquet. This is a fresh, floral fragrance with top notes of white flowers such as lily of the valley, jasmine, rose iris, orange blossoms, gardenia and ylang-ylang that exude a soft, sweet freshness. At the heart, woody notes of warmth are added by vetiver, cedar, patchouli and oak moss. At the base, delicate notes of musk and leather. This is a perfect fragrance for the young and the young at heart. Feminine and gentle in nature, Anais Anais is packaged in an opaque jar with a floral motif reminiscent of the old world. Anais Anais is named for the Persian Goddess of love.
