by Grès
Cabotine by Grès is a distinctive, vintage floral-green perfume that opens with a sharp, aldehydic burst of fresh green and spicy notes—coriander, ginger, and black currant—before settling into a lush, complex bouquet of white flowers. The heart unfolds with vibrant, honeyed hyacinth, lily- and jasmine-toned petals, and a subtly powdery, sweetened base. The long-lasting sillage and profound depth give it a pronounced presence, developing from a crisp, soapy green start through to a warm, musky-amber finish. While the initial sharpness can be overwhelming for some, it mellows into a sophisticated, floral-green harmony that earns admiration from those who appreciate bold, classical perfumery. Its quality is hard to match at this price point, making it a valued treasure for those drawn to vintage, complex floral compositions.
