Cabotine

Cabotine, from the French house Grès, is a feminine floral composed by Jean Claude Delville and released in 1990. Flowers lead, with a strong sweet side and lighter woody, spicy, musky and citrus touches.

The opening is fruity and spicy: plum, peach and black currant give a juicy sweetness, and cassia a warm, cinnamon-like spice. The heart is a lavish bouquet, with tuberose and jasmine creamy and heady, hyacinth green and fresh, and ginger adding a spark. The base is warm and sweet, with vanilla giving a creamy sweetness, sandalwood a soft woodiness, and civet an animalic warmth that gives the whole an old-school depth.

Most wearers report that it lasts long, a quarter saying it lasts almost indefinitely, and most describe its projection as strong or moderate. It is voted mainly for spring and summer and worn largely by day. That suggests a bold, cheerful floral for daytime in warm weather.
