Cacharel Nemo is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Jean-Pierre Bethouart. Nemo opens with Lavender, Pepper, Cardamom, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Caraway, Jasmine, Geranium, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Cacharel's Nemo carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A cult classic gone too soon, Nemo by Cacharel is a spicy-woody masterpiece that still sets a high bar. Discontinued but not forgotten, its blend of freshness and warmth is still revered by those who know real quality.

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

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Nemo opens with a vibrant burst of fresh spices, led by cardamom, nutmeg, and a dynamic lavender, giving it an invigorating yet smooth character. As it settles, caraway and subtle florals emerge, before deepening into a rich, woody-leather base underscored by earthy patchouli and a touch of vanilla sweetness. The result is a complex, evolving scent that retains a captivating freshness throughout.
