Descripción
Eden by Cacharel is a floral fragrance for women. Launched in 1994, this composition was created by perfumer Jean Guichard. The top notes unfold a vibrant freshness with peach, bergamot, mandarin and lemon. The heart of the fragrance reveals an exuberant and aquatic florality thanks to the presence of water lily, mimosa, neroli, melon, lotus flower, pineapple, jasmine, lily of the valley and rose. To finish, the base notes offer a warm and woody foundation with patchouli, black acacia, sandalwood, cedar and tonka bean.

A year ago, during my lockdown for COVID, I searched for a perfume that evoked the jungle. As many recommended it on the international forum, I bought a mini. It was a first batch from 1994 that I tested on a cool summer afternoon. I put a drop on my hand and was hit by a nuclear projection: so much that I could even taste it, something green and fresh like coriander. The smell was more elaborate than just coriander. Eden doesn’t smell like a jungle, but like dewy wet flowers and overly ripe fruits, neither natural nor summery. Over time the sweetness mellows and the woody and patchouli notes stand out. Its duration is extreme; it projects even the next day with a single spray on the neck (the power of the 90s). It gives me the image of a greenhouse in Antarctica with an artificial garden and pond to recreate tropical vegetation. You can feel the throbbing life, but you notice the plastic smell of the walls, the cold air on the ankles, and the violet LED light. This Eden can deceive you, but it’s a beautiful trick very well executed. Given the synthetic and green sensation, I consider it good for spring-summer, to feel energised and apart from what surrounds you, like in a summer bubble in virtual reality. I wouldn’t buy it as I’m not very keen on fruity perfumes, but it’s excellent artistically: the smell is faithful to the advertising of my childhood. Pleasant: 8/10 Interesting: 10/10 Versatile: 6/10 Original: 10/10
Eden was my first perfume. Upon entering adolescence, it made my schoolmates uncomfortable. Perhaps it was the mix with my skin or its characteristics; the truth is I couldn’t conceive that I would come to love it to the point of not being able to stop smelling it, while others produced rejection in me (to the point of telling me so). It was a fight against my need to fit in, led by the caprice and joy it gave me to wear it. In the end, I achieved a mediocre truce: I applied it only on my left wrist for as long as it lasted. Every time I wanted to feel good or regain my courage, I brought my wrist to my nose or rested my head in my hand. I still remember it, and I would give anything to have it back.
My grandmother used to wear it as a child and detested it; a work colleague also found it super strong when I was young. I was fed up with the perfume, but now that I’m older and my tastes have changed, I wanted to give it a chance by buying a 30 ml bottle. It has a super intense opening that almost put me off, hehe. After a couple of hours the intensity drops and it’s a super rich, very special, very floral scent with an indistinguishable green note. I loved it, I find it super original, it doesn’t resemble anything, and it has excellent fixation of over 10 hours on skin and clothes. Brilliant, from now on it will be indispensable in my collection.
The worst perfume I’ve ever smelled. It’s green, GREEN, the greenest, smelling of old perfume. I can’t fathom why a house would release something like this nowadays, save for nostalgics. Simply horrible, I can’t stand it. That said, to Caesar what is Caesar’s: it lasts a barbarity; I tested it on my hand and after two washes with soap the smell is still there almost as if freshly sprayed.
Eden is a perfume bomb, a unique fragrance with no similarities in the classics. I perceive within a tide of wet patchouli a note of amber that isn’t listed in the olfactory pyramid.
I loved the opening of this perfume: juicy floral, nothing intense, powdery, and very fresh, but after a couple of hours it smells like a baby wipe, a shame because it’s quite peculiar.
If I were a fairy in a wet, enchanted forest full of fireflies, ferns, water lilies, and trees with damp bark, this would be the scent. A mysterious, original, and unique fragrance. I bought it in 2020 and wouldn’t say it has much trail or longevity on my skin, perhaps I had them when I first sprayed it. I wear it from spring to autumn. The notes can be deconstructed, but for me, it’s a magical brew as a whole.
You either love or hate this perfume, nothing more. Its trail literally fills a stadium and its longevity goes from the earth to the moon. I remember my mother’s face of happiness when she wore it, while I recall the worst trips to university trying to hold my stomach at 8 am against the soul-kicking force of her undisciplined trail. I wouldn’t buy it… or perhaps I would, just to thicken the collection of eternal perfumes.
I absolutely love it; it transports me to a fresh garden with stone walls, moss, rain, and fruit. It’s my pampered perfume. It lasts forever on my skin; in autumn and spring it’s divine, in summer it’s a mission impossible (best to let it rest), and in winter it’s much stronger (even a hint of onion?). It’s a perfume you either love or hate, nothing more. The notes and dry down… I don’t understand why some perceive plastic, every nose is a different world! I recommend it if you’re a woman with personality, unafraid to be different and make a style statement. I perceive it from the age of 30, but it’s suitable for those seeking strong sensations. Truthfully, there’s no age for love or for a perfume 😉
I’m not sure if it smells like plastic or dampness🤔 I wouldn’t recommend buying it blind.
I would like it to smell of humidity as people say, and I understand it can be interpreted as a wet fruit, even an overly ripe one, which I wouldn’t mind. But the slight touch of talcum powder makes this smell to me like a strawberry stick (the candy).
I wouldn’t buy it, nor do I own it. I tested it in a tester and that was more than enough. It is by far the perfume I hate the most. Every time I smell it on someone else or catch its trail, I feel dizzy, get a headache, and feel nauseous; it makes me feel unwell. To my taste, it’s too imposing, thick, and heavy for any time of day. It really overwhelms me, and I don’t understand which note causes that; I think it might be the floral-peach blend.
Ays of Cacharel, how well you used to do things and how you’ve come down in the world. This perfume is a delight from when things were made as God intended. It’s a blend of notes I can’t distinguish but it’s tannnn delicious. It’s exactly as advertised: a paradise locked in a plain bottle and a psychedelic box. Incomprehensible projection and unburnable longevity. Along with Lou Lou and Anais Anais (the unrefurbished one), it’s the best of Cacharel, far ahead of everything else. Long life to this wonderful otherworldly paradise!
I love this perfume. I’ve worn it since I was 16 and now I’m 43, and I’ve never, ever mixed it with another. It captivated me immediately and I use it for everything without getting tired of it. I remember there were three sizes; the largest no longer exists, and they only sell the current ones. In my opinion, today’s Eden doesn’t smell exactly like the vintage; something is missing to my nose, although the difference isn’t huge. All my clothes smell of Eden even after washing, and my skin is impregnated. In places with people, I don’t feel the explosive aura, but they always ask what I’m wearing. Those who know me know it’s my scent; acquaintances say, “I knew you were here because you smell like yourself.” I won’t change it for anything. If they ever discontinue it, the only thing I’d swap it for is Lou Lou. I’m a super fan of Cacharel’s Eden and I beg them never to take it away. Simply: it’s my perfume.
My dear Eden, I’m writing to you again because we’ve finally understood each other. Reconciliation wasn’t easy; I went through stages of burnt plastic, lacquer, and adhesives, until one day you stopped irritating me and I felt pleasant. I started scrutinising you, and I tell you: you’re not easy, but once you’re tamed, you’re fascinating. You are a wild forest with otherworldly vegetation, intense green, with that mossy, humid microclimate, yet also sweet and sticky like sugar. Patchouli and woods give it a mystical touch. In short, you’re a gem I hated and now adore.
It generates love or hate, a difficult feeling to replace. It is powerful, from the old school of perfumery where the personality of the scent was more important than popularity. Patchouli dominates for miles, mixed with fruits and flowers that seem to have liquefied melon, lotus, mimosa, and neroli. It’s not for young women; it has an overwhelming personality. If worn subtly, it can be overpowering, but for an empowered woman, it’s the perfect complement.
It’s endearing and brings back memories of my childhood, perhaps of my grandmother or mother. I can’t stand the overpowering scent that won’t wash off even with a shower, so I never wear it as a perfume. I apply it to the bathroom towels or as an air freshener; it lasts until I wash them, and when I enter, it transports me back to my childhood without suffering its potency on the skin.
I saw it in a perfumerie with my mother, knowing it was discontinued and controversial. She said it literally smelled like Eden and was a unique aroma. I encouraged myself to buy it without testing it first. Upon applying it, it first smelled of an esoteric shop, then of an air-freshener aisle in a Chinese store, with a plastic touch. My cat loved it. After five hours, the base reminded me of my mother when she was little, touching my heart so much that I eventually came to like it. It’s a pity to have to go through those unpleasant smells to reach the lovely base. I gave it to my mother, but I’m going to give it a second chance.
I love it! It’s one of my favourites, vintage and super powdery, smelling of old makeup. Ideal for summer or spring evenings; it lasts three days on clothes, skin, and hair. You can tell a lot with just one spray; it’s a gem. When it dries, it smells of paint and green melon, so don’t buy it blindly! You either love it or hate it. I adore it; it’s more talcum-powdered and fresher than Lou Lou.
Bought it blindly with high hopes, trying to forgive that synthetic citrus opening because I loved the sandalwood and patchouli when dry. I understand complex fragrances from that era, but I didn’t notice the aquatic notes; the fruits and flowers were so muddled they felt like a stone in the head, until the last few sprays actually hurt when I atomised it. It’s not that I can’t tolerate powerful scents—I have favourites with animalic accords—but its composition was simply unbearable for me.
Finally, I tried this perfume by chance in a shop. I was super excited about the reviews, but the truth is I was hugely disappointed, to the point where I laughed because it was so wild. The only thing I felt was very strong patchouli, a smell of herbs but not a fairy forest as claimed. It’s a green perfume but not as I thought, somewhat overwhelming, a bit bitter. I clearly wouldn’t buy it 🙁
I only detect the patchouli. It’s a bouquet of herbs, reminding me of the camphor my grandmother used to put on me. It’s not sweet or fruity to my nose. It’s vintage, refreshing and with a lot of personality. I don’t sense it as a fairy forest, but rather as a camphor mountain, a mentholated mountain. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re looking for something different and singular, I recommend trying it.
Absolutely overwhelming. It would have been a summer Rumba by Ted Lapidus in its time; today it’s reserved for winter and autumn. Sharp neroli with lots of patchouli; it’s not fresh, don’t be fooled by the image. The melon note is very present, making it almost medicinal and syrupy. It’s like wearing a coat; I sensed it on a lady walking in a very heavy cloud of Eden, strong and imposing, an unmistakable perfume.
I like it because it smells different, retaining that vintage touch. I detect a green, herbal, mentholated and aquatic note, caused by the anise-like sweetness, which makes me crave a drink. Just as a gourmand makes you want to eat, I see it as perfect for spring rain days.
I’ve always said Cacharel makes lovely fragrances at a good price. Here, despite having a vintage aroma that initially overwhelms, it’s worth giving it a chance. It’s a super complex scent; if you read the notes, it’s hard to differentiate them. But once you get used to it, I detect the neroli enhanced by the valley lily and the lotus flower, all powdery with sandalwood. It’s a scent that brings back memories, very vintage, yet rich. I understand they use it to air freshen; I wouldn’t wear it myself either, but it’s so unusual that it captivates; it deserves more than a Chanel No. 5. It’s not a blind buy, be careful. Eden is not a magical forest, but it’s a lovely lake in the middle of the woods.
A perfume ahead of its time, vintage yet it doesn’t look it. I see it as unisex, futuristic, like a green, synthetic cactus syrup; sharp, sweet and bitter. I discovered it recently and enjoy it even in the heat. BEWARE of the sprays: one behind each knee and on the street, or prepare to be overwhelmed for a while. It’s a fantasy, different from everything else.
What if I told you I fell in love?… I met this years ago with a miniature. I thought it was a rare, intense scent with a concentrated air freshener aftertaste. I preferred the ‘L’eau’ version. A few months ago, while cleaning the display case, I smelled it again and decided to try it on my hand. Every couple of days I’d bring it closer because there was no need to apply it directly to my nose; it smelled good from a distance, but up close it was much more appreciable. That scent became addictive; I bought 30ml to enjoy it on my hand and ended up using it several times this summer until I bought 50ml because I love it. I won’t describe it in notes because it needs to be tried multiple times. I define it as fruity-floral: on me, melon, peach, lotus flower, and water lily stand out; I detect nothing of the citrus or mimosa. The result is a bulbous, distinguished scent (it smells like a classy person). Who would I recommend it to? Someone seeking something different, with a notable personality and a desire to go against the grain. In my opinion, it’s long-lasting, with huge sillage for the first 30-40 minutes, then dropping to moderate for another 4-5 hours.
It smells of wet earth and camphor to me; I like it, very unisex.
I disagree with the reviews. I encountered this in the 90s and didn’t like it. Reading the notes encouraged me to buy a small bottle, as I’ve trained my nose… but it still doesn’t quite work for me. Understanding the notes doesn’t mean you’ll like it. I don’t detect the mandarin or lemon; it’s not citrus. The opening is sweet due to the peach and perhaps anise-like from the patchouli or an undeclared anise. Additionally, it’s powdery; that dusty note makes it vintage. There’s a faint floral, possibly water lily, followed by sandalwood that persists until the end. No melon or pineapple, though a sweetness envelops the dusty wood. On me, it lasts 5-6 hours with moderate sillage. I see it as suitable for fresh days, for women over 30; it smells of a lady, I find it hard to wear, though it could be unisex.
I tried this in the 90s and recently smelled it again on a friend’s miniature. Every time I enter a room, I apply it to my wrists, and the scent lasts for eternity. I have to mention it whenever I leave the bathroom because it’s noticeable straight away. I absolutely adore it; I can’t quite describe it, but calling it a ’90s fragrance’ captures the essence: distinct, rich scents, though not for everyone.
I used it at university back in 1995; it was a hit, and everyone asked about it. It smells of dry forest, wet earth, and woods; it lasts a long time on skin and clothes. I live in a very hot place and it was by no means annoying. It was discontinued in Mexico, but years ago I found it on Mercado Libre and thought: let’s leave it to fate. Yes! It was my beloved Eden, and I used it until the last drop. It’s a high-class fragrance.
I bought it a couple of days ago and I’ve been complimented quite a lot… it makes me feel unique. Who has had the honour of smelling Eden? Good heavens, a divine unique creation. Adored. 10/10.
Perfumes like Eden make me a lover of scents from other eras, for the engraved memories, quality, and concept. There was a design effort in bottles, boxes, colours, and advertising that almost no longer exists. I met it in 1995 in a magazine featuring a naked girl from behind and a border to rub your wrist on with a rough texture and the scent. I smelled it with my mother and we fell in love. Many consider it vintage due to its 80s and 90s notes, but it doesn’t smell old like a Chanel No. 5; it’s dominated by a stylised herbal note of wet forest, rain, and dew. It’s strong with great sillage, not a daily freshie, but we enjoy it as a scent of rain. It has something magical, dark, and mysterious, of forest and creatures. Although it was feminine, people of all genders enjoy it. It’s not shy; it’s a power bomb. Now reformulated, it remains strong and long-lasting, though not quite as before. It’s unique; I’ve never smelled anything like it, memorable and a gem. Try it in a shop; perhaps it’s not your style, but try to know how a rainy enchanted forest bottled smells.
They gave it to me and I didn’t like it in the slightest; I felt it was a ‘lady’s perfume’, so I gifted it to my mum.
@Juana P.: It had to be said… and it was said. I loved your review.
If you’re tired of 2020s trends (Baccarat clones, pepper, sandalwood, vanilla, and ambroxan), head to a Druni, look for Cacharel, grab the simple green bottle of Eden, and mist once on each wrist. The relief for your nostrils will be noticeable. Then you’ll see if you like it; it will accompany you for hours. This nineties powerhouse is an affordable gem, with performance many niche perfumes at €300 would envy. It serves for day, night, and any season (for me, a bit pasty for summer).
Welcome to the Garden of Eden, a paradise not for everyone. It generates both love and hate; it’s elegant, intense, with great sillage and long-lasting power. An iconic fragrance from the 90s, heaven in a bottle.
I adore it. A love affair spanning over thirty years. Intense, powerful, and profoundly feminine. Sweet, bitter, with a citrus touch, white flowers, and patchouli. A beautiful composition that lingers in the memory. Yes, it’s strong and won’t suit everyone, but with it, you’re impossible to ignore. The longevity and sillage are excellent.
Everything Juana P. said, times two. I bought the reformulation and it’s a shower of flowers for me. I was worried about the camphor due to TikTok reviews, but it’s the opposite: it evokes elegance and has a 10% powdery note, like makeup. The flowers emerge over time, followed by the fruits. It’s versatile and not just another fragrance. A gem if you’re over 30.
Nothing new to report; it’s my signature scent. Two sprays are enough (better not more, as it can become overpowering) to earn compliments and last for hours.
