Cacharel is a French brand offering fashions, accessories and fragrances.  Jean Bousquet, who created the Cacharel brand in 1962, founded the company of the same name in 1964. The company takes its name from the local term for garganey (Anas querquedula - a small dabbling duck).

Noted for its youthful, feminine fashions, the house of Cacharel extended its image with the launch of its first scent, Anaïs Anaïs, in 1978. This classic feminine perfume is still available today and has been followed by additional scents for men and women.

The perfume collection of Cacharel has 53 fragrances (2014). The earliest edition was created in 1978 and the newest is from 2014. Cacharel fragrances were made in collaboration with perfumers Laurent Bruyere, Dominique Ropion, Honorine Blanc and many others.
