by Cacharel
Gloria by Cacharel is a luxurious, gourmand-oriental scent defined by its warm, syrupy sweetness and deeply layered complexity. The fragrance opens with a bold blend of amaretto, amber, and Bulgarian rose, creating an immediately evocative and slightly boozy impression. As it settles, the prominent notes of almond, cherry, vanilla, and tonka bean emerge in a rich, creamy, and lightly spiced harmony, balanced by quiet woody undertones from cedar and styrax. The overall effect is of a dessert-like elegance with a distinctively mature and sensual character, akin to a warm cherry-almond pie or a sophisticated vanilla-bourbon infusion. The fragrance is well-balanced and not overly cloying, with a soft, powdery drydown that lingers pleasantly on skin and clothing. Longevity is substantial, with the scent projecting moderately to strongly for a full day, making it especially suited to colder seasons. It carries an intimate yet radiant presence, best appreciated in the evening or during winter months.
