Cabotine Cristalisme is a fresh, delicate floral-oriental fragrance with a crisp opening of bergamot and Granny Smith apple, enhanced by a subtle hint of pink pepper and ylang-ylang. It evolves into a softly complex bouquet of jasmine, rose, and tuberose, balanced by cool, powdery, and creamy woody notes—sandalwood, musk, and bitter vanilla. The base is smooth and subtly balsamic, offering a restrained warmth without heaviness. The scent feels elevated and refined, with a cool, clean undertone that gives it a polished, almost translucent quality. It develops pleasantly on the skin, remaining intimate and quietly persistent for many hours, although its sillage is mild and barely noticeable to others. Despite its understated presence, it maintains a high-end feel, blending seamlessly with the wearer’s skin without overwhelming any environment. It's particularly wearable during the day and in spring or autumn, especially for those seeking a quietly confident, minimalist yet sensual scent that feels mature without being bold.
