Cacharel launched Yes I Am in 2018, an Eau de Parfum composed by Honorine Blanc and Christophe Raynaud and fronted by the singer Izzy Bizu. The house built it on an accord it calls Spicy Cremoso, a cardamom milk inspired by chai latte, brightened with raspberry and mandarin, in a bottle shaped like a lipstick.
On Parfumo, Finchen1976 smelled in January 2020 a raspberry syrup that ginger, cardamom, and sandalwood keep in check; in October 2020, Benlives was surprised that a scent finally lived up to such an extravagant bottle.
What critics say
Finchen1976, Parfumo, January 2020
On January 18, 2020, Finchen1976 recounted on Parfumo receiving Yes I Am without knowing it. The opening offered a sweet raspberry, more liquid syrup than tart candy, with a hint of children’s cough syrup.
Ginger, cardamom, and sandalwood soon keep the raspberry in check, as Finchen1976 sees it. What remains is a spicy sweetness that never grates or becomes excessive, however much is applied; even so, the ginger eventually grows tiresome.
Benlives, Parfumo, October 2020
On October 29, 2020, Benlives devoted most of the review to the lipstick-shaped bottle and the gift set’s pouch, bordering on kitsch. What surprised Benlives most was that the scent matches the object, something now rare among new releases.
