Cacharel

Cacharel was created by Jean Bousquet and is a French brand that produces clothing, accessories and perfume fragrances. This brand represents the feminine soft side of women and celebrates it. The famous Cacharel blouse showed this through the soft and romantic design.

What started off as a fashion house also began to make fragrances with the help of L’Oreal.

In 1978, the first Cacharel fragrance was launched with the name Anaïs Anaïs.

                                          

It represented the brand as a fragrance that was fresh, rich and feminine, just as the clothing line was. It was designed for young women and has been a hit since it became available.

Other fragrances that joined Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs were Eau d'Eden in 1994 and Amor Amor in 2003. All of these have proven to be very popular fragrances that are loved by women who enjoy their femininity.

One of the latest fragrances to come out of the Cacharel house is Liberté which is a citrusy scent. Another is Catch Me which was released in 2012 and is described as having a seductive essence.                                                                                              

Cacharel fragrances can be found at selected stores around South Africa.
