The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Scarlett by Cacharel was launched in 2009 and crafted by perfumers Honorine Blanc, Olivier Cresp, and Alberto Morillas. This fragrance captures the essence of a vibrant and youthful femininity that is characteristic of the brand's heritage. The composition opens with fresh notes of Amalfi lemon and pear, creating an immediate sense of brightness and energy. As the scent develops, jasmine and honeysuckle add layers of sweetness and warmth, while African orange flower brings a delicate floral complexity. The base notes of white honey, musk, and sandalwood create a warm and comforting finish.

How to wear it

Apply Scarlett to pulse points for a long-lasting effect. The bright top notes will fade within an hour, but the warm base notes will linger throughout the day. For best results, layer it over a light moisturizer to enhance its longevity.
