Scarlett by Cacharel

ktv0926

Scarlett is a quite strong floral scent, not too sweet. I feel a lot of jasmine in the opening and honeysuckle later, gets really musky in the dry down. That's about it. No tricks, no intriguing notes.
I Love the heroine Scarlet O’Hara and I was really anxious to try the fragrance with such a name, especially as it is a new creation of Cacharel. Unfortunately, I'm not crazy about Scarlett - the scent is nice, no doubt, but "been there done that". The bottle has a plastic top (I expected a real lace or something) and frankly looks cheap.
Ah, such a waist of a name…

when I first saw the Scarlett commercial I was like 'omg I need to have that in my collection'! the packaging is so pretty and unique.
I tested it in the store and it seemed like an ok scent. so I got it. back at home, I sprayed it on me and wasnt really pleased. Scarlett smells like an old lady who desperately tries to be young. now it stands between my other perfumes just being pretty...on the outside
(btw, scarlett does smell good on my friend)

Oh Sugar

Oh Scarlett! What should I do with you? You look so inviting, like a wedding cake. You must be a sweet one - I thought. But when the aura of fruity aroma of citruses disappeared, I couldn't shake the feeling you're bitter at times. My skin and you - we just don't seem to get on very well. Must be something with the chemistry. Too bad, Scarlett. But it's not goodbye, I may come back to you when I'm ready.

Nahh, I don't really like this one. I mean, it's pretty and inoffensive, I wouldn't put this one on my "Don't like" list, but I also can't say I get to like it... The bottle is beautiful though!
I'm trying not to say Scarlett's boring, but the truth is I do think that. The first thing it resembled me was a boring chewing gum. Not a juicy one, more like the one you have been chewing for hours, and you didn't even like the flavour that much...
In my opinion the top notes suit for a very young teenager, but after that it's just too floral for a young girl. Reminds me some perfume my grandma used to wear.
Anyways this is just my opinion on how the perfume developed on my skin. I totally undertand why some people might love it (as well as other fragrances I don't like), and I respect that!

I am very interested in testing this one, and I must disagree with the review below, I don't think escada magnetism is nothing special, I think it is a very unique scent, it is the only escada I like, and everytime I wore it, someone asked what i was wearing, so it must not have been THAT common. Anyways..to each their own...

orchidlover

Nothing special, such as Nina Ricci Nina or Escada Magnetism. When I tested it, I felt same like Nina, the ingredients are also common, this fragrance is a fake. Nothing sexy only fruit and sugar. It's ideal for teenagers who want a new candy-sugar-fruity mix.
I like other Cacharel's e.g. Promesse, Noa..but Scarlett is a bad creation for me.

A couple of years ago I was with my boyfriend in Bora-Bora (a great holidays, of course...). I can remember exactly the smell of the tahitian gardenias, the white sand and the water of the ocean. Scarlett is all that nice things, i really LOVE IT!

I just got this perfume today and love it! The scent is sweet, floral, and a bit musky. The bottle is very young,fresh, sweet and romantic. Scarlett, for me anyway, is one of those perfumes you can wear for all seasons.

I like it a lot!! very nicely done, it is a warm scent, with some depth, a bit sensuous, fresh also..it has taht quality of being soft and present at the same time!! it is not boring or un original in the least!!! well done, soft, feminine, smells delicious..everything a perfume should be!! and I like the bottle a lot!!
beautiful romantic scent!!

I tested it last week just out of curiosity not expecting anything special. Was surprised how aromatic it is- LOOOVED the pear!!!! It seems quite delicate at first, but then again it lasts a couple of hours easily. Fruity floral in my opinion. Dries down beautifully... Couldn`t stop sniffing my wrists;)

Ingie73

I love Scarlett! Perfect for day or evening wear, summer or winter, but especially summer. My boyfriend loves this scent and I have
had many compliments from other women. At first it smells sweet then tapers off into a soft and delicious scent without being too overpowering. It develops into a soft musky scent as the day wears on. It’s a beautiful new perfume.

Anahi

This is very pleasant perfume. When I first spritzed some on, it smelled very fruity/citrusy, and then when it starts to settle in, it smells more flowery and musky. Personally I would have liked it more if it had a more fruity smell like strawberry or raspberry or maybe some vanilla as i tend to go for more gourmand, creamy scents but this isn't too bad. Great for late winter, early spring..

Diana Cucu

The bottle was so beautiful I had to try it; I got strong honeysuckle from beggining to end, although not intoxicatingly sweet; it was pleasant; Couldn't remember what flower it was at first; lasting power is great

missk

Scarlett is surprisingly clean and refreshing. It seems like more of a fruity floral than a floral woody musk in my opinion.

This fragrance is quite strong. I tend to get a lot of citruses like orange and bergamot mixed with a little jasmine in Scarlett. The fragrance is sweet but not overly so. In my opinion this isn't just suited to teens, anyone of any age could wear this.

I personally like this scent, possibly because of my love for orange-scented fragrances and white florals. I disagree on those reviewers who find this fragrance synthetic, it is no where near as fake as some fragrances I've tried.

The sillage and lasting strength was really impressive, especially for that of an EDT. As I said before, this is a fragrance for everyone. I urge you all to try it despite whether you think you'll like it or not.

HelloLovely27

Update: This perfume if used too much or too often tends to make your head swim!
So use in moderation!

Interesting responses from other people...

I understand the charming, flirty, bold and lighthearted aspects of this fragrance, but the fragrance reminds me too much of childrens jelly crystal powder mix. You simply cant take this seriously.

lynnroo

I tested this today. Since the bottle was very appealing and it was from Cacharel, I had been dying to smell this for a long time but according to the reviews I didn't expect much from it. Well, to my nose it smells nearly the same with Eternity Moment which I'm not a big fan of either. It's a very sharp fragrance and as many of you have mentioned before, it's nothing special. I didn't like it at all and I wouldn't wear it. I don't think it belongs to the floral woody musk group. It is very floral and maybe just a little fruity or turned out to be this way on me.

sofiii

This is a nice perfume, but somehow too generic and I strongly urge you to try on your skin and wait before you buy(I got a nausea reaction).

About the perfume: it starts with some great tea-like quality, really authentic euphoric and subtle tea hint plus sweet soft drink sugary sweet orange smell. All the combination is refreshing and optimistic till this point. However, this only last about 10 minutes.

After the first lovely 10 minutes, it turns weird on me, the tea and the orange smell is really faint and I've got some really sweet like burnt sugar smell along with musk, it's kinda similar to Happy Spirit from Chopard. To many people, it smells nice, but I guess I'm too picky and felt it's too synthetic and uncomfortable for me to wear.

Then the dry down is really subtle and airy, I really enjoyed it. It smells deep, some quasi-aquatic/airy with a fainted musky hint. However, this is like 8 hours after applied.

To me, this perfume is nice for the first 10 minutes and after 8 hours of apply. But I really don't want to suffer the 7+ hours in between. Thought I'm a floral woody musk fan, I guess maybe not that a die-hard fan. If you have some weird feeling about Daisy by Marc Jacobs, or Happy Spirit by Chopard, be careful with this one.

swedeangel

Quite beautiful scent! Not too sweet ,mild and gentle ,well balanced flowers. Innocent ,but with that undertone of sexiness that musk gives . I do think almost everyone can wear it ,young and old - its a beauty!
I find it rather different from what cacharel usually do,and its a good thing because i never found anything i like from them .
The drydown is beautiful ,and staying power is quite good.

kittykati

overall, not a bad scent, it's easily wearable and no headache-inducer. but its absolutely unoriginal, there's nothing groundbreaking about it. i agree that it's probably going to be quite popular, especially amongst the light-floral lovers and teenagers. extra points for the unusual bottle.

guest_anastasiak

I just bought it yesterday!At the beginning i was quite disappointed because it smelled like those awful perfumes of Burberry,mostly with London.After a while the musky senses came up!!!What a nice surprise!But today morming in my way to work two men asked me about my perfume and said that this is a very beautiful perfume!I don't know about you but this is how i like by mornings to be!

Mellyhelly

One thing which is very good about fragrance is that you don't need to like all of them! You can choose what goes for you among lots of different scents, with the only problem that we are going through massifcation and lack of originality or at the other extreme, originality at any cost.
Scarlett is one of those scents which will be quite popular and will be purchased as a gift because if you go to a perfume store the SA will tell you: "Oh, it's new, it's fresh, it's sweet and suitable for a young lady!" Very original, oh yes!
I already got 2 samples from a very kind SA. I never got samples of what I really like.
Scarlett is a very banal floral with a fresh start, a sweetish-something middle and a musty drydown.
Tangy notes, white flowers and honey?
Maybe, but not well done. Smelling from the sample is not so bad. Banal for sure but quite nice. On my skin it becomes musty, so it has to be a chemistry thing.
Cacharel's fragrances are always so changeable and they have something in them that reacts with my skin and make them smell cheap and vulgar, the only exception being Amor Amor (not flankers). The bottle may be considered "original" but it's also so cheap and no-sense!

guest_Delilah

I agree! To me it´s very similar to Juicy Couture fragrance...nice and girly

mizzgossip

I got a tester from this perfume. So I tested it and I didn't really liked it. To me it smells kinda old - like perfume for older women. But I'll try it again a few times, to see if I still don't like it. The bottle is very nice, though.

COSMICSCENTS

LOVELY!!!I THINK IT'S A VERY ORIGINAL FRAGRANCE,I WOULD SAY IT'S A FRUITY FLORAL WITH GREAT STAYING POWER,LOVELY BOTTLE:)

Aalia

The orange note here is an edible orange, like a fresh juice, with no sugar added. The tea note keeps the perfume natural and airy. The floral notes are just as in nature, as if someone sprinkled petals in bathwater..that's what the perfume feels like...including some nice white bath soap. The musk and sandalwood are gentle. I do like the perfume, but, it's just too faint for me and the climate here.

The creators at Cacharel had Scarlett O'Hara and Scarlett Johansson in mind (as noted here in the database). I thought they would be far off; before testing it-but....I can surely imagine Scarlett O'Hara using a similar, soft perfume, made of flowers and simple ingredients of the time in the 1770s...and also I relate Scarlett Johansson, "America's Girl Next Door" style of long, soft blonde hair, and innocent face. I could see how the perfume was made thinking of thier characters and images.

perfumes_addict

i don't like it. the name and the bottle are very original and intrigueing, i'll give it that much, but the content is very dull. it's a typical fruity fragrance who has so much in common with other perfumes of its type. i have to admit that i expected more from Cacharel. i'm quite disappointed. definetely won't acquire this one.

Trvevil

Eh, it is what it is- banal, overly sweet (but with a little orangey freshness to it), quite boring, because already done many times. I predict, that it will be very popular, because it's the kind of scent that appeals young crowd and they're gonna really love this one. (I'm young too, but I feel older. Ironically I look 5 years younger >->)
For me it's already too much. I tried it on paper because I didn't think it's a good idea to put it on my wrist. So I can't blame bad chemistry. Next time I might test it on my skin and see what happens.
Technically I think it smells a bit like Envy Me or Bright Crystal by Versace (there's a similar note).
Scarlett is young and very fun, but not one of my friends. Bottle is pretty only on picture imho, tester without that cap looks horrible.

moonruby

This looks like it belongs in the cake display cabinet in the french
bakery!

'Scarlett' looks alot like someones wedding cake rather than a perfume. Or a scrumptious slab of strawberry nougat.

nathalieZ

I disagree! it is a nice very pleasant first notes!!! feminine, light, airy...not your usual scent..cant wait to buy it really..it isnt girlish, but it is refreshing...it isnt femme fatale, but modern. One can wear it for any ocasion..it is a well behaved but perky little scent!!!

kevaana

If you enjoy the smell of soap, probably you will enjoy this.The pre teenage girls will be thrilled by the beauty of this masterpiece. This fragrance is the next best thing after "Barbie" range. You can use it right after the moment when your dolls are not a priority to you.

Chandramukhi

After all those banalities Cacharel issued lately, such as the endless Noa flankers and Amor Amor, finally a bold and memorable fragrance, opulent and original for both bottle and content, like the good old times genius creations of this house: Eden, Lou Lou or Gloria. This is what I was thinking while grabbing the bottle and sniffing Scarlett in premiere. For a moment, the golden ray of light brought by the dearest souvenirs stroke me when I had the impression that Scarlett smelled like my box of beads from my childhood. The fruity-plastic aroma of pink eraser rubber-gum and coloured pencils in a girl's room.
This is a girl room smell. The future developement of the perfume on my wrist is another dissapointing story. Only rotten red berries and nail polish rested.

grati

..very dissapointing..doesn't last and it has nothing special...what has happened to the house of Cacharel lately? it seems that they abandoned good perfumes forever...

mypersonalharmonics

Oh,no!This is not Scarlett O'Hara nor Johansson.This is Scarlett the teenage babysitter or Scarlett the room freshener.Boring,fruity,oooook...
Not for perfume lovers.
Only for bottle collectors.

HelloLovely27

I was really excited to try this new perfume by the Cacharel house! I love Amor Amor I have been wearing it off and on for years. (it is one of my staples in my perfume collection) From some of the reviews I was not expecting very much, to be honest. I tried it anyways cause i really did want to like it. and i DO! I really like this one! It is a bit more girly then Amor Amor. More florals softer a bit sweeter (in the little girl way, not sugar sweet)
This perfume makes me want to wear lace and sit in a park :)
Some may find this annoying feeling like a little girl. But I think it is charming and adorable!

MoietToi

I was walking around in a cosmetics store looking for some nail polish. Then I spotted the adorable bottle on a shelf and I went over to try it.The opening smells alot like fresh pears and there are a few white flowers in the background. So at first I was not too impressed. But then I waited for a while and it started to smell like candied fruit. But not in a bad and overly sweet way. More like fresh fruits that you had carefully rolled in sugar and caramel.
I am actually suprised that I liked this one beacuse I normaly do not like fruit florals but this one is a must have.
EDIT:
The lasting power was not good at all. It disappeared from my skin after 1 hour. So I don't think that I want this one anymore.

zilia

I was disappointed, very usual scent, seems very similar to a lot of other fragrances. I expected much more...

nezzabel

I received this perfume as a gift and I like it!
Yes, it's a sweet scent.
Yes, it's aimed for the younger crowd (or at least for the young at heart).
And yes, it's a fruity, floral, musky kind of fragrance.
But you know what? This fragrance is quite lovely! Sparkly, pretty, delicious and almost edible on the top notes.
And the bottle is gorgeous... so cute!
I totally agree with Juliette has a gun, it's a sunny (that put a smile on my face everytime I wear it), romantic fragrance, lovely for wearing at Spring/Summer and for day time.

Adriana_87

Very boring,nothing special.Sweet bottle,best for teens..

Solvita

Yes,a bottle is very nice,but fragrance- very "cheap",floral,a little sweet,it reminds me "Pretty" of Elizabeth Arden

lady*V

From the minute I saw the super-cute bottle and packaging, I wanted to like this scent so much!
Unfortunately, it did not live up to my (probably high) expectations.
At this point I should mention I have always preferred perfumes with an oriental character. Oriental florals really do it for me!
Anyways, while smelling the top notes and the first middle notes, I couldn't help thinking of the review that mentioned "artificial florals", and couldn't help silently agreeing.
I didn't take the time to try and analyse more about the fruity and floral notes I was smelling[I'm not really experienced at it either]; but the scent lacked originality and unique personality so I lost interest straight away.
It also failed to develop into something more interesting; I got the impression it was flat up until the drydown - which on my skin consists of a simple musky note.

Someday I might try it again -just to give the lovely bottle one more chance- but I'm not keeping my hope up. Too bad!

maid_marilyn

The middle and dry down of this reminds me a slightly more floral version of Avon's Just Play. The fruity opening notes also remind me of another, different perfume, but I can't quite place my finger on what one.

I like the honeysuckle and pear notes. On my skin it lasts well and is quite pretty. However, I can't recommend it, because I think it's wildly overpriced for what it is. To my nose, it should be a ten euro, limited edition perfume from Avon, not a fifty euro department store perfume.

Malibu

Tested this this afternoon and now have a killer headache. The fragrance itself is a jumble of too-sweet fruit and artifical florals on my skin.

I read on another site that this is targeted to under 21's, so maybe I'm just past it...

pimentosugars

A perfume named after Scarlett O' Hara? I had to try it...

Holy Mother of God. Faster than a belle on a buggy, this thing sent me straight into headache hell, with its nasty saccharine pinkstink and its cheap paintstripper florals!

If Scarlett had worn this, she could have stopped the war all by herself. The yankees would have suffocated on their approach to Atlanta, and Rhett Butler would have donned a bonnet and crinoline and danced with Ashley Wilkes rather than endure our whiffy heroine.

Or Mammy would have saved the day (and the story) by pouring the whole horrible mess down the toilet!

luz

It smells very similar to Juicy Couture on my skin,sugary white flowers, but more aromatic. Great perfume !

juliane

luckily got this as a sample at douglas. it's nice and well done but a bit boring. you know it's made to be a hit, made to be easily liked. for me it smells like a crossing between miss dior cherie l'eau and kenneth cole black, but i prefer miss dior cherie because it's fresher. scarlett is honeysweet and the white flowers stand in the foreground. for my taste it's a little bit too lovely and girly (i'm 22!), it lacks something special, i think it fits best for very young girls or white flowers addicts...

Miertje87

I finally got this from a perfume webshop because the stores didn't have it yet in the Netherlands. I bought it without trying because of the reviews and the extremely cute bottle. I luckily loved the scent. It's quite sweet at the start but dries down musky. Nicely done Cacharel!
