Yes I Am Fabulous
by Cacharel
Yes I Am Fabulous by Cacharel is a sweet, creamy, and gourmand fragrance centered around blackberry, milky hazelnut, and heliotrope. It opens with a juicy, jammy blackberry note that is lightly sweet and slightly synthetic, giving it a playful yet synthetic character. The creamy milk and nutty hazelnut accord smooths out the sweetness and adds depth, creating a comforting, dessert-like scent reminiscent of a blackberry milkshake or vanilla-hazelnut jam. The dry-down reveals a warm, powdery sweetness with a subtle milky coffee nuance, making it feel like a wearable sweet gourmand suitable for cooler weather. It has moderate projection and decent longevity for a gourmand, though some find it fades quickly after a few hours. The scent is versatile for daytime and evening wear, especially in autumn and winter, and appeals to those who enjoy creamy, fruity, and powdery fragrances. It’s often praised for being a gentle, feminine, and uplifting alternative to the original Yes I Am, with a more balanced sweetness and more noticeable lactonic and nutty notes despite some users finding the hazelnut subtle.
