Cacharel Parfums

A division of the Parisian fashion house Cacharel; established by Jean Bousquet in 1962; born in 1932 in Nimes. Bosquet originally studied men's tailoring but found it too limiting. In1956, he began his apprenticeship with a small ready to wear shop in Paris,, and within five years was known as a pioneer of fashion.





Bosquet named his company after a small wild duck found in his native Provence. the soft and feminine signature Cacharel print has remained extremely popular since its introduction in the mid 1960s, and has been applied to silk dresses, as well as colorful sporty separates.  Cacharel also produces a line of men's clothing and the widely copied mini couture clothing for children.

Jean Bosquet has continued to develop his business interests, with distribution throughout Western Europe and the United States. In 1983, he was elected mayor of his native Nimes.

Welcome!

This is not your average perfume blog. In each post, I present perfumes or companies as encyclopedic entries with as much facts and photos as I can add for easy reading and researching without all the extraneous fluff or puffery.

Please understand that this website is not affiliated with any of the perfume companies written about here, it is only a source of reference. I consider it a repository of vital information for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by. Updates to posts are conducted whenever I find new information to add or to correct any errors.

One of the goals of this website is to show the present owners of the various perfumes and cologne brands that are featured here how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table, did you like the bottle design), who knows, perhaps someone from the company brand might see it.

Also, if you have any information not seen here, please comment and share with all of us.
