7 Best Smelling Cacharel Perfumes for Women

Cacharel is a French ready to wear clothing, fashion, and fragrance brand. It’s fragrance line was launched in the late 1970s and has been going strong ever since. The faces of the advertisements of this design house have been as famous as the perfumes themselves and include models, Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen. For this list, I have selected seven fragrances from their line which I consider to be the cream of the crop.

What are the Best Smelling Cacharel Perfumes?

Fabulous Selection

Yes I Am Fabulous– Updating this page with a few newer perfumes, I had to add at least one from the fairly popular Yes I Am line.

Fabulous is my first pick out of this collection. It utilizes blackberry as the main note, but only adds to the unique vibe with other notes like hazelnut and milk. Add to that, one of my favorite underrated floral notes in heliotrope.

This one opens up with the blackberry which comes off juicy enough, yet the milk adds a creaminess which really sets the tone. Not too sweet nor too tart, Fabulous comes across as delicious and the hazelnut here just works in the mix.

A nicer heliotrope powdery aroma in the dry down. It isn’t super powerful, just a nice and fun perfume.

Easy to Wear Cacharel

Noa– A light blend of fruity notes with an underlying bouquet of floral notes. Noa is a soft and womanly fragrance good for most occasions. This one is a clean and soapy sort of perfume, but it feels like it has its own unique take on it.

Yes, you have the layer of musk and floral notes. However, the secondary wave of coffee bean and vanilla give Noa a slighter sweeter aroma in its undertones. This isn’t some scent that overwhelms and demands attention, it just simply gets it with its soft and quite beautiful aroma.

Most Popular Cacharel

Amor Amor– Probably the most popular of the bunch. A great everyday wear, Amor Amor blends fruits, floral, and woodsy notes to create something seductive yet playful.

The floral notes are lighter and different. But, you do get a very close citrus vibe to Happy. The main difference here, is the inclusion of vanilla.

Amor Amor is a very good take on a sweet fruity perfume, that is a solid choice for daily wear. It actually has way more depth, than one might expect. It is warmer, creamier, with nice amber notes and tonka bean in the dry down. A fairly similar fragrance to Clinique’s Happy.

Chocolate Gourmand

Yes I Am Delicious– Another option from this line for those who want an indeed delicious blend of chocolate and the hazelnut note.

This one really goes heavy with the chocolate, more so the hazelnut. You get both a refined sort of dark chocolate, raw cacao, vanilla, and the nuttiness. Super rich and delectable.

Up top you will get mandarin orange with a spicy cardamom before the sweets-fest begins. The floral notes are more present in the back end. Jasmine and orange blossom. Warm and cozy for the colder months. This won’t be for everyone, still a nice smelling scent.

Most Unique

Eden– Eden changes it up a bit from the other perfumes on this list. This fragrance is for those who like a spicy and somewhat exotic scent. Eden does feature some lighter fruit notes, but it is mostly a very floral undertaking.

So, obviously avoid, if you don’t want a bouquet effect. That’s mostly at the start, though. As it moves forward, Eden, takes on more of its patchouli note and it feels less floral and more greenish plant-like.

Finally, there are the spicier layers of this perfume. Not super peppery, but coriander is the main attraction. This is more of a niche fragrance, but one with a bold profile and performance.

Classic Cacharel

Anais Anais– A wonderful floral perfume with added notes of leather and cedar. It’s a classic scent that is clean, fresh, and wholly feminine. Being an older fragrance, it has obviously undergone some changes over the years, but Anais Anais still retains a lot of its magic.

This is more or an old school fragrance, because it does date back to the 1970s. Floral and highlighted by notes of lily of the valley, hyacinth, and jasmine. At times, it feels more like a green garden, before setting itself up as a powdery scent.

To me, it’s unique versus what you get from perfumes nowadays. Though, this doesn’t feel stale or boring. Yes, different, while still being modern and dynamic.

Older Sweet Pick

Amor Amor Forbidden Kiss– A warm and energetic take on the Amor Amor name. Grapefruit, coffee, pink pepper, and peony make this one a unique and exciting perfume from Cacharel.

We get away from the floral scents and break into something fruitier and much sweeter. Yes, the fruity notes are enveloped in a warmer cloud than usual, but this is still an attractive option for the colder months. The coffee and pink pepper notes, really make Forbidden Kiss what it is, and it doesn’t have that winter fragrance heaviness.

Best Men's Colognes

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.
