Cacharel Gloria is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by Olivier Cresp. Gloria opens with Hibiscus, Amaretto, Amber, and Rose, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Pepper, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Tonka Bean, Almond, and Styrax. Cacharel's Gloria carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This discontinued gem still holds a passionate following, hailed as a unique, irresistible potion. Finding an original bottle means shelling out serious cash, prompting a fierce hunt for dupes. It's a sweet, boozy cherry-almond dream that's sorely missed by many.

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.

Its rich, boozy gourmand profile and reported 'intense, long lasting' nature make it more suitable for evening or special occasions. While some found it office friendly due to its 'soft' and 'subtle' nature, many reviews describe it as a 'heady' and 'sexy' scent perfect for attracting attention.

About

Gloria opens with a luscious, boozy hit of amaretto, blending seamlessly with the delicate sweetness of rose and hibiscus. As it warms, a rich, creamy almond and vanilla heart emerges, laced with a subtle hint of spicy pepper. The drydown settles into a warm, sensual embrace of cherry, cedar, and tonka bean, leaving a lingering, delicious aroma that's both comforting and captivating.
