Cacharel Scarlett is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Alberto Morillas, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc. Scarlett opens with Lemon, Pear, and Tea, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Honey. Cacharel's Scarlett carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Scarlett is a divisive but ultimately beloved white floral, honey, and pear dream. A 'your skin but better' scent that's often described as a 'hug in a bottle' and, despite being discontinued, still commands a passionate following for its unique charm.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

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 sun-drenched jasmine and honeysuckle, softened by the delicate sweetness of pear and a hint of zesty lemon. As it settles, a comforting swirl of white honey emerges, warmed by a whisper of sandalwood and a clean musk. It's a luminous, subtly sweet floral with a refreshing tea accord that stops it ever becoming cloying.
