Cabotine
Grès Cabotine Eau de Toilette is a floral fragrance with a fruity, gourmand character. It was launched in 1990 and is made in France, and it moves from a bright, fruited opening into a rich floral heart and a warm, woody base.
The opening is green and aromatic, with juicy citrus and stone fruit and a sparkle of coriander. Through the heart, the floral side becomes more prominent, with tuberose adding a creamy, heady richness alongside softer carnation and freesia and a little warmth from ginger. The drydown settles into vetiver, sandalwood and cedarwood, with a soft, musky depth that lingers after the brighter notes fade.
This is a fragrance with presence. It tends to sit confidently on the skin and generally carries strongly, so a light hand is usually enough. Its longevity is long lasting, so it typically stays noticeable through a full day.
Cabotine suits a wide range of settings. Its fruity and floral brightness suits casual wear in spring and summer, while its richer woody and spiced depths feel right in autumn and winter. It works in professional settings as well as on a night out, and it is aimed at women.
