Yes I Am

Yes I Am by Cacharel (2018)

Released in 2018 and co-crafted by master perfumers Honorine Blanc and Christophe Raynaud, Cacharel Yes I Am is the brand’s bold contemporary feminine flagship. Built around raspberry, mandarin orange, bergamot, lemon, gardenia, ginger flower, amber, jasmine, orange blossom, rose, milk, caramel, vanilla, cardamom, licorice, coumarin, benzoin, sandalwood, and amberwood, this Oriental Spicy composition presents a strong aspirational portrait of modern femininity. The black smoky-finish quilted glass bottle is designed to remind of a lipstick.

Our interpretation captures the same iconic bold feminine signature as a long-lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

Bottle size: 50ml · Concentration: Eau de Parfum (up to 40% perfume oil) · Made in EU

How It Smells

The opening is immediately bright and slightly tart with juicy raspberry, mandarin orange, bergamot, and lemon creating a sparkling fruity introduction. There is an instant sense of confident modern femininity.

The heart blooms with the soul of Yes I Am: creamy gardenia, unusual ginger flower, warm amber, refined jasmine, sweet orange blossom, and intoxicating rose create a rich floral-spicy character that distinguishes the fragrance from typical designer feminines. The dry-down settles on creamy milk, warm caramel, smooth vanilla, refined cardamom, slightly licorice-tinged coumarin, balsamic benzoin, dignified sandalwood, and modern amberwood. A base that lingers on skin for many hours with sophisticated, slightly sweet, deeply confident feminine depth.

Common Questions

Is Yes I Am a sweet fragrance?

Yes, with sophisticated balance. The milk, caramel, and vanilla base notes create gourmand sweetness, balanced by bright fruity opening and refined floral-spicy heart. Sweet but refined rather than candy.

How does Yes I Am compare to other Cacharel feminines?

Yes I Am is bolder, more confident, and more contemporary than Cacharel’s earlier feminines. Where Amor Amor leans into juicy fruity florals and Anais Anais into delicate white florals, Yes I Am brings oriental-spicy depth with milky gourmand base.

How long does this fragrance last on the skin?

Typically 7 to 9 hours on skin, longer on clothing.
