I originally bought this perfume because a friend of mine wore it and I liked the fragrance. I did not consider any alternate brands at the time I first purchased this.
Anais Anais is a fragrance that I have worn for over 15 years. Its one of floral that initially is very over powering, then it wans after a few minutes and is just right. The over all scent is a light one - that is heavily toned with flowers if that makes any sense.
This fragrance is one bought at perfume counters and is worth the money. This would make a good gift for a wife/girlfriend.
