Cacharel is a French brand that offers fashion, accessories and fragrances. Founded in 1962 by designer Jean Bousquet, the company takes its name from the local indigenous term for Anas querquedula, a small duck from the Camargue region of France.

Cacharel rose to fame after one of its modern pink shirts appeared on the cover of Elle in 1963, and the company's reputation expanded throughout the 1970s.

Known for its youthful, feminine fashion, the house of Cacharel expanded its image with the launch of its first fragrance, Anaïs Anaïs, in 1978. This classic feminine perfume is still available today and was followed by additional fragrances for men and women.
