Jean Bousquet, a tailor and designer, set up the Cacharel brand in 1962 to provide clothing that was youthful and feminine yet still full of glamour and style.

Cacharel was first known for his use of vibrant colours which was something of a first in world of fashion where bright colours took something of a back seat for many years.

By 1963 Bousquet had managed to get his designs on the front cover of ELLE magazine which instantly catapulted him onto the worldwide stage and made the Cacharel name so famous. From here the Cacharel brand has gone from strength to strength and is still a name that is synonymous with elegance and style while still showing its fun side.

Cacharel Perfumes

After his success in designing clothing ranges, Bousquet joined forces with L’Oreal when he commissioned them to create his first female fragrance. This was to be the classic scent Anais Anais which was released to the waiting public in 1978. This perfume is still a best seller today and it is known for its light yet heady scent that captures flowers.

Next was the men’s fragrance Cacharel pour l’Homme which was another hit for the brand.

Next came Loulou another women’s fragrance, soon Cacharel had released Eden, Eau d’Eden, Loulou Blue, Gloria, Amor Amor, Noa Perle, Amor pour Homme and several more. In just over 20 years Cacharel had built up an impressive list of fragrances for both men and women and new fragrances were constantly being devised.

The most recent of the fragrances to come from Cacharel is Liberte which is citrus fragrance with base notes of patchouli and wood. The supermodel Gisele Bundchen is the latest of a long line of beautiful women who have been the face of the Cacharel brand.
