The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Promesse Eau Fraîche by Cacharel, launched in 2007, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that embodies the youthful and feminine spirit of the brand. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from mandarin orange and bergamot, creating an invigorating freshness that transitions seamlessly into a powdery heart of violet and jasmine. This delicate floral bouquet is supported by green tea, adding a subtle earthiness that keeps the scent light yet engaging. As it settles, musk and cedar lend warmth and depth, grounding the fragrance in a soft woody-musky base.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays for a balanced scent that evolves gracefully throughout the day. The bright citrus top notes are fleeting, so allowing it to settle on your skin before leaving will ensure you experience its full evolution from fresh to warm.
