Catch...Me

Made by Dominique Ropion who has made some great perfumes,this one should not be missed. Petitgrain,white florals,with an amber and woods dry down,it is right up my street. This is for me lovely in the winter,and those colder months,there is a lovely cosy warmth to this,yet it is a sweet yet playful edge to it,but I think it is a quite grown up scent,as the jasmine combined with that woody element is quite carnal and sexy. I love the house of Cacharel and own several fragrances,and this along with Eden( which could not be any different!) are my favourites. If you are looking for a different fragrance this could be yours,I love the woody dry down,it is delicious I can see this slightly gourmandise but the white florals are dominant,that is why I love it,it also has great longevity,more than 6 hours on my dry skin,and the projection is quite strong,when people enter the room they can detect a " wonderful smell" as I have been told. This is day or night,the casual fragrance but dressy one too,versatility all around. Catch.....me....for the whimsical dreamers who dare to take risks.......and create magic!

This is such a pleasing perfume!! Although it doesn't seduce at first smell, but it does gradually. Give it time! I received this as a gift, as my friend knew I was looking for something 'almondy'. At first spray it smelled ok, a little bit soapy, but there was no almond nor anything cozy. I could only notice some jasmine and citrusy flowers; it was fine as an everyday summer scent, but not what I was looking for... until I realised I was stuck on it. I've been using it last summer and now I perceive notoriously the warm almond, and a hint of vanilla turns it sweet in the right measure. It's a special smell which reminds me to discontinued Gloria, but less gourmand, and it's like a less powdery and fresher Guerlain's Instant Magic as well. I'll keep wearing it this fall-winter. I don't know why my mind connects this smell with the long dusky time that comes, with the orange and yellow forests, celtic rituals and the Halloween night.

I love Cacharel scents, but this one isn't for everyone. Moreover, I think that for some people it may be intolerable. Immediately after spraying the scent is very intense, irritating and only floral. After 10 minutes, the white flowers become more subtle and the tangerine starts to pierce. After next 20 minutes, the flowers and fruits balance and the almond milk and ambra join them making it softer and warmer, creamy and more elegant. Then, Catch Me ... becomes a beautiful and feminine fragrance, although in my opinion it isn't Cacharel style. When the smell has changed, it's a bit like Shafali by Yves Rocher. The longevity is quite good- almost 6- 7 hours on me, but close to skin. Now, It's summer and I like delicious, juicy and sweet fragrance at this time, so I enyoj it!

This is a very unique perfume and the bottle is just stunning. I would say it’s a slightly softer and more unique version of Alien by Mugler. In the very opening I get an odd soy sauce like smell, that worried me when I first sprayed. It must be something of the almond mixed with petitgrain, don’t worry it goes away quickly and reveals this very green jasmine note. This fragrance really transforms. It has a vibe of Good Fortune by Viktor & Rolf but it has no sweetness. Also this is something about the greenness that very vaguely reminds me of Aura by Mugler, but it’s very slight. The longevity for me is moderate to long lasting depending on how well you spray. Highly recommended!

I tried this on at a duty-free airport store. I find a lot of perfumes that way, since U.S. stores seem to stock the same thing everywhere. The top notes were kind of like Orangina, "pétillant", sparkling and citrusy, pleasant but not surprising. Then came the jasmin/white flowers in a pleasant but predictable blast. Next the resinous woods and almonds created a luscious toasted marzipan drydown on my skin. It sits very close to the skin and lasted over 4 hours. After some indecision, I bought it. The end of summer into winter and even into early spring is the perfect timing for this fragrance. So cozy. Sweet but not cavity-inducing. That drydown is the hook!
