Catch…Me by Cacharel

It’s my number one fragrance and my go-to perfume for years; I haven’t found anything I like more. What a pity they’ve stopped making it. 10/10.

A rich and very sexy perfume. Whenever I wore it, people asked what it was and I didn’t say because the name was an invitation, hehe. What a pity it’s not around anymore.

I’d been wanting to try it for years but, being discontinued, it was almost impossible. The bottle and the notes always called to me, then it became quite an odyssey until I found a supplier with an unopened 80 ml bottle and I bought it on the spot. At first I didn’t love it because petit grain isn’t my note, but the appeal is in its phases: it doesn’t feel flat, every time I smell it evokes something different. It moves from a medium greenish acidity to a fresh, coquettish floral, until a creamy sweetness on the clothes. Grateful to have acquired it and hoping Cacharel continues to release fragrances like this.

A signature perfume that says nothing. It’s pleasant in itself. I bought it because it was on offer.

A scent exquisite, incredible longevity and great sillage. I love this fragrance so much I use little or nothing else so as not to waste it, and even less now that I know it’s discontinued. The almond gives it that characteristic sweetness without being cloying.

Cacharel’s Catch Me has this certain quality—I can’t quite put my finger on it… It opens with a citrusy, slightly green mandarin, followed by a sweet, enveloping note of almond and jasmine that accompanies that sweetness without being cloying. The almond isn’t as overpowering as in Hypnotic Poison EDT, yet it remains fresh. In fact, Yes I Am shares a similar sweet facet without being the same; it’s a comparable vibe. I believe it was one of the first sweet scents from the house, right when gourmands were in vogue. The bottle is a diva; the cap looks like a metallic flower. I have the 30ml version, and it’s gorgeous, almost miniature in size. I didn’t experience the 2012 launch (a period with little interest in perfumery), but I remember the hype Cacharel had in the 90s. While I adore perfumes from this house, unfortunately, apart from Eden and Lou Lou, they don’t last long on me. I don’t think I’ll buy it again given other options, though I certainly enjoy it.

What a delicious perfume! I love it from the opening all the way through to the dry-down. From the very first moment, there’s a sweet yet non-invasive citrus. Then it settles into a jasmine-infused almond sweetness. It can be worn any time of year; here in my country the temperature is intermediate, and it feels perfect to wear. While versatile, I’d use it for late afternoon or evening, as it feels like a nocturnal jasmine due to the blend of almonds and woods, with a mysterious touch. The dry-down is creamy with warm notes. It’s sweet but not cloying, as if the sweetness is in the perfect dose. The bottle is beautiful. However, it’s not purple as in the photos, but silver with amber liquid. I found the cap detail charming, with just one of the metallic spheres protruding. I only managed to get a small bottle; it’s hard to find in my country, so I hope to buy another soon. It was a blind buy, and I loved it.

I want it to be adorable, romantic like the Cacharel house; it feels like a purple scent to me.

What a pity I didn’t discover it sooner, and what a shame it’s discontinued… Today, during the lockdown in Spain, I decided to clear my shelf of miniatures. This little bottle caught my eye, and I tested it on my wrists. What purity, what a sense of calm; it has soothed me during these nervous times. I agree with other reviews; it has touches of Alien and, for me, it’s very close to Valentino Donna, especially the Acqua version. An absolute delight, even though I’m not usually a big fan of the brand.

I had it during my adolescence and loved it. I notice it’s very similar to Ultraviolet, but softer and fresher.

A sweet, feminine and cheerful scent with a moderate to heavy trail and longevity over 12 hours (at least on my skin). It’s flirtatious; my male friends liked it and my boyfriend adored it. I remember a jacket I wore in winter, which I kept and wore in summer, still smelling of perfume. What a shame they’ve discontinued it; it was my favourite.

Adorable little bottle that adorns any space. A flirtatious, sweet and almost innocent fragrance. Everything is soft: its lines, its trail and longevity. It starts slightly citrusy and gradually moves to the almond note. On my skin it leaves a sweet, sugary violet scent. I wish it lasted longer, but it’s a beautiful bottle for my collection.

Catch me! It’s already caught me. I’ve been wearing it since 8:30 and it’s 15:30 and it’s still there. I don’t understand how I could have left it unopened for so long, haha. The citrus opening lasts five minutes and then the jasmine comes through. The almond milk gives the sweetness present throughout the development. I don’t know when it will fade; I’ll let you know later. It’s very pleasant and cosy, what a shame it’s discontinued.

They gave it to me and I think it’s quite nice… I believe it’s the last decent one before the Amor Amor and that strange-smelling lipstick bottle. It has very distinct phases and reacts easily to personal pH. For me, it takes time to develop the middle floral phase, but the base notes last a long time. The bottle is beautiful, though somewhat puzzling.

I like it but it doesn’t drive me wild. It’s true it’s sweet and lasts a bit. I bought it because my sister-in-law had it and I got it on promotion. But for the price, without a doubt, I’d prefer to buy something else. In general, Cacharel perfumes seem very common to me.
