About

A refreshingly light and undeniably tender fragrance for incurable romantics from around the world, Promesse is a perfect springtime scent created by the likes of Sophie Labbe and Carlos Benaim for the house of Cacharel. Like an airy white cloud sometime in mid-April, or maybe a small & tight bouquet of white and pink flowers, Promesse gives its owner a promise - a promise of better, sunnier days ahead; a promise of a fling that might just turn into a life-long, unforgettable romance. Promesse is a floral-fruity scent with dominant accords of orchid and jasmine, intertwined with citrus notes and blackcurrant, laced with woods, amber and musk.
