Anaïs Anaïs is a tender, slightly green white-floral built around lily, honeysuckle and lily-of-the-valley, with a soft powdery innocence that defined a generation of romantic perfumes. A quiet mossy-woody base of oakmoss, sandalwood and musk gives this delicate bouquet gentle warmth and lasting softness.
