Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs, a fragrance first launched in 1978 and a signature scent for many in the 1980s, is now available at half price on Amazon. A 50ml bottle has been reduced to £29.70, down from £59.
A floral classic at a discount
The perfume is known for its soft, floral aroma that lasts on the skin throughout the day. Its layered profile opens with lily of the valley and orange blossom, moves through jasmine, honeysuckle and rose, and finishes with warm notes of sandalwood, incense and amber.
Reviewers regularly describe it as a light, floral scent that is not overpowering, making it suitable for daytime wear. The iconic floral bottle has remained a favourite since its launch, with customers expressing delight that they can still purchase it.
Customer reactions
One shopper said: "Wow I've been transported back to late 70s/80s. The subtle scent wafting around my senses. I never thought I would see this again then 3 days ago it's right in front of me on Amazon!"
Another added: "This was the only perfume I could wear back then and when I gave a spray just now, I waited for it to settle on my skin and then a smile came upon my face... I am so glad I bought this again in this time as now I'm 70. Better still, it's affordable. You just have to try this."

Other perfumes from the same era are also on offer. Giorgio Beverly Hills, a floral fragrance, is half price at Boots, with a 90ml bottle now £24.50 instead of £52. It features notes of fresh orange blossom, bergamot, ylang-ylang, jasmine and vanilla.

Some customers note that the latest bottle of Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs differs from their memory. One wrote: "This is not as strong as it use to be. I won't be buying it again."
However, many remain pleased with the purchase. One buyer shared: "Bought this classic Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs Eau de Toilette for my wife, who absolutely loves it. It’s a beautiful, timeless fragrance and one she’s enjoyed for many years. A lovely, feminine scent that never seems to go out of fashion - a classic for a reason!"
Another customer commented: "I absolutely love this fragrance. It’s timeless and elegant, with a beautifully balanced floral scent. You can clearly detect notes of orange blossom, blackcurrant, lily of the valley, jasmine, and a subtle hint of sandalwood, which makes it feel sophisticated but not overpowering."
They added: "It lasts reasonably well on the skin and is perfect for both daytime wear and special occasions. I’ve received several compliments when wearing it, which is always a nice bonus!"
