PARFUMS GRES CABOTINE PERFUME

Step into a vibrant, sun-drenched garden of classic French elegance with Parfums Grès Cabotine, a remarkably rich, sharp, and iconic green-floral Eau de Toilette for women. This 1990 masterpiece opens with an invigorating, multi-faceted explosion of zesty tangerine, spicy coriander, tart blackcurrant, sweet plum, and fresh orange blossom. The heart beautifully unfolds into a legendary, complex botanical bouquet starring the rare Himalayan ginger lily, alongside intoxicating tuberose, crisp hyacinth, powdery carnation, and elegant ylang-ylang. Drying down into a deeply comforting, high-contrast base of smoky vetiver, warm sandalwood, rich amber, creamy tonka bean, and sensual white musk, it leaves an unforgettable, soap-clean powerhouse trail. It stands as the ultimate signature of raw joy and unapologetic femininity for the woman who loves bold, classic compositions.

Expert Answers

What does Parfums Grès Cabotine smell like?
A remarkably crisp, dense, and spring-forward symphony of sharp green stems, powdery purple blooms, and a clean, high-end soapiness defines this iconic profile. It greets the senses with a lively splash of coriander, blackcurrant, and plum before developing into an opulent, white-floral heart dominated by rare ginger lily, tuberose, and hyacinth. The final skin-drying stage transforms into a deeply comforting, earthy foundation of rich vetiver, smooth sandalwood, and cozy musk.
When was Parfums Grès Cabotine released?
This highly celebrated designer classic officially made its global debut in 1990, masterfully composed by world-renowned perfumer Jean-Claude Delville. Conceived as a playful, lighthearted "daughter" to the house's legendary 1959 leather icon Cabochard, Cabotine completely made history as the first commercial fragrance in the world to extract and replicate the scent of the living Himalayan ginger lily.
How long does Parfums Grès Cabotine last?
Performance is strong for a classic Eau de Toilette. A few light sprays typically provide around 7 to 9 hours of longevity on the skin (results vary with skin type and climate), and its crisp green notes can linger on clothing well beyond skin longevity. It opens with a rich, noticeable scent bubble, so a gentle hand during application is recommended.
When is the best time to wear Parfums Grès Cabotine?
Thanks to its refreshing, dewy-green botanical architecture and uplifting citrus accords, this fragrance performs at its absolute best during the bright daytime hours of Spring and Summer. It serves as an exceptional choice for casual outdoor daytime strolls, classic afternoon tea gatherings, or whenever you want an intense blast of invigorating, fresh-from-the-shower green energy.
Who will enjoy Parfums Grès Cabotine?
Parfums Grès Cabotine is a distinctly retro, multi-layered composition that is best sampled first by beginners who strictly favor simple, sugary vanilla sweets or watery aquatic freshies. If you love complex, vintage 90s green-floral perfumes with ginger lily, tuberose, hyacinth, and a clean soapy powderiness, it offers wonderful value and history.
