Anouk by Antonio Puig

It’s a fruity floral fragrance where nothing stands out above the rest. It reminds me of a warm, welcoming, and simple woman, with an honest energy that walks firmly through the world. Ideal for days without pretensions but full of life and real connections. It has a natural innocence that doesn’t shout, with presence but without overwhelming. It’s original and recognisable without being strident. I smelled it when I was a little girl in the 90s, not knowing who was wearing it, but I recognise that style from back then. Today, even though there are other trends, this smells off-trend and that gives it value. For the new generations it’s a great discovery: it smells incredible, it’s unique, and its quality and longevity at such a low price are unbeatable. You can get 200ml for 8 euros and it lasts hours despite being an EDT; it’s a must-have. The only flaw is the crime of changing the beautiful original bottle for a generic circular one with a cheap sticker that takes away the magic. I hope that poor quality is what keeps the low price down. In short, this little gem transmits good things to me: being with friends, a world of peace free of men. Happy girls like in Little Women, living their lives as protagonists like in The Gilmore Girls. Girls focused on themselves, chatting, laughing, hugging, and dancing together. GIRLS. And this little gem was gifted to us by two gentlemen 🤣🤣. Long live Anouk!! 🙌

A drop of Anouk is luminous, floral, synthetic joy. A perfect cologne for everyday wear because it goes very well, suits the skin perfectly whatever you do. It was special and beautiful when it was born and remains so today. One drop is more than enough; otherwise, its synthetic structure dominates too much and robs it of its magic. Anouk is light, rich and benevolent florality to the max. <3 Anouk.

Anouk (1989) I recall it had very good projection and left a trail. A very feminine perfume for a 40-year-old with lots of personality despite being cheap. If I remember notes of peach, it had for me the DNA of Anaïs Anaïs, but its fruity version. It also reminds me of Fleurs de Jour by Puig.

What can I say about Anouk! I loved everything: the packaging, the TV advert… and above all its scent. It was a peachy fruity smell that I adored. A cologne of good quality, without a doubt. What I don’t quite understand is the reason for changing the packaging; from my point of view the original was much better, and also the colours of the box: they gave it a prestige that it no longer has. The bottle has already gone through two changes, each worse than the last; now it looks like a cheap imitation of something or a bazaar Chinese cologne. It lacks the personality that its previous presentation gave it.

From my teenage years, I also alternated it with Don Algodón. I remember it felt somewhat sharp.

What memories, I used it in my school days… sometimes alternating with Don Algodón.

Who didn’t use it when they were a little girl? Recently I found it again in a supermarket in a different bottle and with a softer scent. But when I opened that cap… I swear for a moment I was back at 13 years old.
