Cacharel Eau d'Eden is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1996, created by Jean Guichard. Eau d'Eden opens with Rose and Iris, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Nectarine, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk, Fruity Notes, and Sandalwood. Cacharel's Eau d'Eden carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A lost 90s aquatic floral gem that many pine for. It's clean, fresh, and perfectly balanced, embodying a youthful spirit that's both nostalgic and timeless. A true 'bring it back' scent.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a dew-kissed garden after a spring shower. This opens with delicate rose and powdery iris, quickly giving way to a juicy heart of peach and nectarine, brightened by hyacinth. The base settles into a soft, musky sandalwood, leaving a trail that's both fresh and subtly sweet. It's an airy, aquatic floral with a youthful fruitiness.
