ReplyDeleteThank you for the precise note. A few perfumes could be distributed in different countries under different distributers. I'll correct it shifting distribution date one year earlier.

ReplyDeleteHi, I have a semi-filled bottle Anais Anais / Spray Eau de Toilette 30 ml / address : 14 rue Royale / Cacharel inside the Cartouche / Batch code UG3K. Does it have a value ? Anyone interested ? Please contact me through my blog (click on the link "contacter l'auteur"). I am living in Europe (Belgium).
ReplyDeleteThank you for your blog, I have enjoyed researching many of my vintage scents using my new found knowledge !
ReplyDeleteI have identified all of my Anais Anais but one -
It is a 30ml with a "Limited Edition" sticker on the Top & silver embossing in the bow design.
BOTH Anais Anais & Cacharel are written centre top & in the one cartouche.
The Batch Code is D5VN.
Can you help ?
Many Thanks, Jill x
Thank you so much again for your amazing articles. They are so helpful, and save me time, money and frustration. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI have a late seventies / early eighties Anaïs Anaïs box with a batch code of only four digits: D2D0 and no barcode. Is it a fake?
ReplyDeleteHi Ravenwermut, although it's impossible to determine the authenticity of a perfume based on a description alone, in your case the answer to the question of whether it's a fake is "no," because it could be a first-production bottle, when batch codes weren't yet the current ones. Therefore, it's likely that your bottle is authentic. Greetings, Laura.
