Smells like mosquito repellent. That was what I thought it was when my mom used it. She says she likes it and I am left wondering why.

What is Fragrantica doing, legitimizing Linn Young by adding all its merchandise to the database? Fragrance purists will be left gasping for air.
Okay, that was a joke. There are many good threads about inexpensive alternatives to designer fragrances on this forum, so Fragrantica really isn’t all about the quest for the latest, kinkiest niche offering.
That said: Fleurs de Champs is Linn Young’s take on Cacharel Anais Anais. I must say, a not too successful take. There is the familiar lily accord, and that’s nice enough, but I think they overdosed on the leather, as though to underline the element that distinguishes Anais Anais from all the sweet ethereal floral perfumes out there.
Caveat: I am not sure whether Anais Anais has undergone a reformulation since its debut in the late 70s, and if so, the minis I own (bought unboxed on-line) might be a new formula, which is quite the light floral with a subtle hint of leather that never gets out of hand. Fleurs de Champs might be based on something a bit more “classic.” It also reminds me somewhat of the Max Factor fragrance Le Jardin.
