Anais Anais Premier Delice

I surprised myself by liking this one. I don't like gourmands at all and appreciate chocolate notes, in particular, even less. I was drawn to this fragrance however by the bottle which evoked memories of the original Anais Anais - one of my very first fragrances back in pre-history when I was a tween. I knew full well not to expect a resemblance between these two scents but I couldn't resist seeing for myself. I also had read favorable reviews and, reading the notes, thought the citrus would contribute some freshness and the galbanum might curb the sweetness of the pear and bring some green to the table. Really, all the notes other than the cacao are notes that I like very much so I decided to give it a try. At first the pear was overwhelming and I'm one who really likes pear. Someone here mentioned the sweet pear in My Fifth Avenue which I have and love. I do see the resemblance to the pear in that one but here it is so much sweeter. Thankfully, about half an hour in the pear calms down and I get the florals too. I do smell the cacao as well but it is not too chocolatey. It kind of reminded me of the cacao in Omnia Paraiba. All in all I like this scent. It's definitely sweeter than what I normally wear but the pear (after the first half hour) is really nice in this and the overall composition is pleasing to my nose. And yes, it's quite reminiscent of Irresistible Givenchy but better, to my nose, for the absence of the musk.

I guess most people who hit "dislike" button is because this new edition is nothing similar to the original Anais Anais we were used to. Actually some notes are similar but are not prominent. This perfume opens with a juicy pear, juicy-sweet, lovely. And after a few minutes comes the cacao, beautifully highlighted with the pear. So if you like these two, you may like the perfume. Personally I love it ! I love gourmand / sweet perfume and this one is definitely. It is very romantic and young, gourmand and flowers. The bottle is similar to original but translucent with pink fluid. In my opinion, this is very unique, it doesn't have the similarities like others members said. Great longevity, more than average, and the sillage is quite good to me, not too big and enough to receive compliments. Oh, and did I mention that the price is affordable ? Will definitely buy ! But it is kind of strong, so depending on your tastes, you may prefer to wear it in a particular season. I think it is good for spring and fall, maybe too much for summer, but will see !

This is an excellent fragrance that one can buy very cheaply nowadays. Here's a bit of backstory: I own and love Indult Manakara (created by F. Kurkdjian), which is one of the very few fruity scents that I can tolerate. However, Manakara is super strong and requires a special occasion. I've been looking for a cheap edt that could serve as an everyday substitute for Manakara, and - here it is! The strongest note in Anais Anais Premier Delice is peony, paired with sweet pear; however, this pear is much weaker than in, say, Franck Boclet Sugar and it doesn't overwhelm. So, the notes of peony and pear constitute the floral-fruity core of this scent, which is then freshened by citruses and galbanum. I can also smell the notes of cocoa powder and hyacinth, although they're not so prominent. All in all, this is a lovely scent, suitable for any occasion; it is a gourmand for people who normally do not like gourmands, and a floral for those who can't stand florals. Good silage, but staying power could be better.

I love this. I got if for an absolute steal at tjmaxx because someone had destroyed the outer packaging so it was only $10. It opens with a sparkling, clean pear -not too sweet. Its sorta powdery in a rice paper way, but I think it's the cacao lending a dry semi-sweet smell. Not chocolaty- I don't particularly like chocolate smell, but sweet rice paper and pear and a hint of chocolate. Absolute LOVE. Love love. Perfect for vacation. Its different then the watermelon bubble gum scents of summer, but not offensively heavy like some winter scents would be. Just very clean smelling. Side note, I've smelled Givenchy "Irresistible" in the store several times, and I'd say it's similar but not a dupe. Particularly the opening. I think Irresistible is more floral in its dry down. down. Delice is sweet in its dry down. 10/10 sillage is just right. Performance isn't great though, longevity is the main issue, with me getting 2 hours of shopping done before it was gone.

This scent is the embodiment of a pretty young girl in springtime. All the notes are detectable, and they all smell very realistic--not synthetic. Dora Bagriche is interviewed by Fragrantica and she talks about the pear ester used by Firmenich, the company for which she works. Fascinating little read and to learn more about the nose behind the scent! This is a spring gourmand--not candy like or baked goods, but the cocoa powder element is just a dusting of sweetness that sits in the background. The peony and hyacinth are fresh and real but not too overpowering. I'm wearing this as it sleets outside and this scent makes me yearn for the springtime! The bottle is simple and restrained in style, well-designed with its smart little cap. Although its packaging isn't as showy or froufrou as some other offerings, I think it's feminine and pretty enough to have on display. I quite appreciate the simplicity. I'm now eager to explore other offerings from Cacharel!

This is SO GORGEOUS!!! I love Anaïs Anaïs Premier Délice. I am truly delighted with it. I love the cocoa that is there from beginning to end, and all the other notes that come and go. Every note comes and stays strongly for a while, then fades down a bit, but comes back fully again. All day and evening, the beautiful aroma of the citrus, the sweet fruity/floral/wood notes blend in and out of the cocoa. Oh I just love it!!! It's so long lasting for an edt, and the sillage is really substantial....my husband says mmmm, often, whenever he's within a couple of feet of me. It is a very sweet, pretty, yet with just enough sharpness (to remind me very much of the original Anaïs Anaïs I used to wear in the 70's.) I loved it, but I love this MORE!!! I think it's a truly wonderful flanker to the original, and the bottle, perfume colour and box are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

I love the original Anais Anais in both the original spray can bottle and l'original. This has that DNA, but turns it into something extremely modern smelling and lush. I'd say this is one of the best fruity florals on the market. As many reviewers here say, it smells vividly of syrupy pears with coca powder but it also has this faint earthy greenness that prevents it from being too sweet. Oh and it's fresh too without turning aquatic or heavy on the citrus like most scents of that family tend to do. It does lean a little to feminine for the office as a man, but I bought this on the way a friend's 30th birthday party and everyone adored it on me. I got this for £25 for 100ml and I'd definitely say that's a great price for it. I think this is a decent all year round scent, but I'm in the UK where it's moderate most of the year. Solid 9/10

I hate the original Anais Anais. It smells wayy too powdery and cloying for my taste. I initially tolerared it, but I grew to dislike it over time, so when I saw this on the shelves, I had exceedingly low expectations. Well... Color me surprised. It's actually quite lovely! I expected it to smell pretty generic, but on my skin, it's beautifully complex and sweet! To me, the opening is quite pear/orange, not so overpowered by pear. It then slowly dries down into a sweet floral- which consistently has that cacao undertone. I quite like it. It's beautiful for spring/summer, definetly not unisex. I consider it a very young, girly and flirty fragrance. Longevitiy is a little disappointing. I can't get more than 3/4 hours. Sillage is fine, about what you expect for a perfume. Not very strong, but people will smell it if they are close enough.

Upon first application I was really disappointed - it got this bitter-sweet found in most cheapest mainstream gourmand perfumes for teenagers - mixture of cocoa, orange and labdanum. But in time the dark cocoa note fades a bit and gives way to bitter orange, l and velvety, aromatic pear. Unfortunately peony and hiacynth are barely there but still in time the perfume becomes softer and softer, more elegant and refined. I'm sniffing it today on a warm but very windy autumn day when lots of colorful leaves are still in the trees, many are dancing around in the wind, bazaars are full of fruit - pears, plums, apples - and somehow this scent beautifully completes the whole autumn day impression:)

It’s a gorgeous combination of notes, not too floral, not too fruity, just very well blended together. Perfect for any age who loves floral fruity gourmand. Longevity is about 6 hours on me and sillage is moderate. I like to spray more when I can’t smell it on myself any longer. I also own the Anais Anais L’original (which is a big NO for me) and it’s no where closed to this one. I own a collection of perfumes and this one stands out from the crowd. Anais Anais Premier Delice is like this humble, gorgeous, sporty and confident person who’s not trying hard to impress anyone but somehow others still gets intimidated and jealous with. Complement getter. Safe blind buy. 💯♥️

If you re looking for an ultra girly flowery sweet fragrance for this spring that won’t break the bank look no further! I do think this goes in the same vibe as the irresistible edp by givenchy and if you have one you don’t need the other. Anais anais premier delice opens up so juicy and bright with that pear note (I love pear note in perfume tbh), then it morphs into this really bright and pretty sweet fruity floral. The cacao note definitely is there to add a little depth and it gives this fragrance some kind of bittersweetness I just love. The sillage of this perfume is very good on the first couple hours and the longevity is about 7-8 hours on me.

An honest fragrance — honest because it delivers exactly what the notes suggest: a sweet, simple yet not banal pear juice. Pear (a very popular note nowadays!) is the undisputed queen of this fragrance, now 12 years old. As others have pointed out before me, the evolution concerns only the other listed notes — the pear remains clear and strong from beginning to end. The price is absolutely fair and it convinced me to buy it. Probably, if it had cost more, it would have been torn apart by many here (myself included). Pleasant and crowd-pleasing — in my opinion, it’s worth the money.

This was an incredible surprise. I snatched this up at a discount store, 80% sure I’d hate it or be bored by it and end up returning it, but my curiosity got the best of me. Well. Sometimes I walk up to this and just smell it from the bottle. It’s that delicious. Juicy pears dusted with cacao, and a fizzy effervescent quality reminiscent of a bubbly glass of champagne. So many of the gourmand scents marketed nowadays have cloying, synthetic notes that this thankfully lacks. I went back to the store to purchase another bottle for my mom. It’s addicting. Lasts a while, too.

Lo amooo. Me acaba de llegar y lo llevo puesto hace un par de horas y huele tan delicioso! La pera y el cacao es lo más fuerte del perfume pero al principio es frutoso y fresco. Se pasa esa estela de frescor y queda muy impregnada la pera con las Flores y el cacao. Luego de unas horas se comienza a sentir la madera pero muy poco. El olor que más se siente es el cacao y me encanta. Es sofisticado pero tiene un carácter de mujer joven y coqueta. Definitivamente creo que se convertirá en uno de mis favoritos con el tiempo.

Absolutely beautiful. Lovely and so sweet. Nothing like "la vie est belle". Soothingly delicious; citrus and caramel well put together. Longetivety is quite amazing. It stayed on my jacket for several days. AA PD gives me funny feeling every time i put the jacket on. I love to smell it on me and on my clothes and put it on again and again. Obviously my new favorite. Suitable for all ages. Especially for teens, but I'm not giving it to my GodDaughter!!!!! (she usually gets the scents I'm already fed up with)

I just recently brought this perfume from Duty Free in Dubai, I have not seen it on the shelves in my country yet, so I'm glad I purchased it. It smells so girly and romantic and its more suitable for younger people. Its very sweet, fruity and floral and feminine. It lasts quite long on the skin and I did not need to re apply the perfume throughout the day. I also loved the packaging as well, it's quite simple and it is like the original perfume packaging. I really love this perfume it smells so beautiful.

I'll have to smell AA again soon but from memory these don't smell anything even remotely alike, not even in a flanker way! If it weren't for the name you'd never know they are related. This is a fruity fresh delicate sugar bomb on me. And I love it. I only tested quickly abc wasn't expecting much but will to back and buy the FB. ASAP. It smelled like a strawberry sorbet.

My Olivier Cresp fangirling continues. Sweet, juicy, fresh pear that lasts. Cocoa warms and rounds this. Not too sweet nor too tart. I do pick up the 'canned pears in syrup' vibe but it still remains firmly in fruity floral territory, not a gourmand to me. A fragrance I can wear while sick and not get a headache is a win for me - this is one of them.

i've blind bought it from a second-hand app and i thought i was buying the original one. i was a little bit nervous about it because the og was released in the 80s or 90s. but then when it arrived when i smelled it, omg this is the perfume that i've been looking for years. it is sweet but not too much and flowery, i can get the hyacinth.

I was looking for a pear bomb, but no luck with this. First impression: it's bubble-gummy. Fruity bubble gum, very girly, fun, childish but in the same time grown up. This is what I was expecting Victoria Secret's infamous body mists to be (and aren't). I like it, but the poor performance is a deal breaker though.
