Anne Klein Perfume Review

The début perfume from American fashion designer Anne Klein was launched a decade after the label’s founder died. Created by Parlux Fragrances, Anne Klein for women is a rich and assertive fruity-floral.

Uniting the two themes is a lactonic bridge, the milky peachiness of C14 aldehyde (so-called) blending with a  salicylatey, creamy white floral complex. The latter includes jasmine and ylang-ylang, hinting at banana, while lily of the Valley odorants and galbanum cast a green hue over the composition.

As the perfume settles, a notable ambered, animalic facet develops out of the labdanum fond, though as usual, I find this much more pronounced on skin than on paper.
Best worn with Dynasty-style shoulder pads.
