Cacharel Eden is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1994, created by Jean Guichard. Eden opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Peach, settles into a heart of Water Lily, Rose, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Black Locust, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Cacharel's Eden carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive, unique, and powerful, Eden is a legendary scent that polarises opinions like few others. It's either an otherworldly masterpiece or a migraine in a bottle; there's no middle ground here.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Eden opens with a sharp, verdant burst, akin to crushed jungle leaves and damp soil, laced with bright, juicy peach and melon. As it settles, a humid profusion of white florals emerges, with prominent tuberose and mimosa creating a creamy, almost waxy texture. The deep, earthy base of patchouli, sandalwood, and cedar provides a grounding counterpoint, ensuring a complex, intense dry-down that lingers for ages.
