I love it. I am now married to him for 51 years and every year I dab a bit for our anniversary. To me, the scent has not changed over the years. The scent is as refreshing as always.

I tend to absorb perfumes and AA is the only one with any longevity. Just an old romantic at heart, I suppose. (L'Air du Temps and Fidji work too, with Fidji being a more adult version of AA?

It's not vastly different, though I find it lacks staying power and is perhaps a tad less "dusty" (?) but that might be just my impression or faulty memory. <br />Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-4915143537198102682015-01-07T06:08:45.446+00:002015-01-07T06:08:45.446+00:00I used Anais Anais perfume 20 years ago, I was aro...I used Anais Anais perfume 20 years ago, I was around 6 or 7 years old.
