Anaïs Anaïs Premier Délice Cacharel 2014 Eau de Toilette

This fragrance surprised me today. The original Anais Anais was not my cup of tea at all - I remember it as dominant, bitter, and classically musty.

Premier Délice is something for pear enthusiasts. It smells throughout the top and heart notes of juicy, unmistakable, albeit artificial pear. When I stood in front of the perfume shelf, I found it unnecessary to ask the saleswoman about the pear; it was clear to me that it was in there.
Unfortunately, it is indeed a pear cobbled together from a chemistry kit. Something we have learned over the years is supposed to represent a pear because this synthetic scent keeps appearing. A real pear would smell different (but surely wouldn't sell as well).
So, enough with the ode to the pear - the base is then relatively sobering. A dry, artificial wood-sweet something that smells exactly like Puma red+white woman. With a hint of synthetic pear.
Premier Délice is suitable as a first fragrance for young girls, sweet and juicy...but rather unsuitable for more discerning noses.
