  I love it; I bought it blind based on the price and notes, and it was a total hit. I’m completely smitten. I’m a fan of the brand and this is by far my favourite (with all due respect to the nineties classic, Cabotine, which is too strong for me). It’s sensual, feminine, sweet without being cloying, just the right amount. Good projection, noticeable but not annoying… I can’t stop smelling my wrist and I feel like biting it. Perhaps it’s because it reminds me so much of Dalimania by Salvador Dalí and it was my favourite perfume for a long time; its scent brings back millions of memories of an era and a love that is never forgotten.

  I bought it blind because it was said to resemble Dalimania. To me, this smells more fruity and wearable, whereas Fleur Splendide is more intense and sweet, very Rush-style. Despite that extreme sweetness, it has a bitter touch, like the burnt sugar coating on crème catalana. It has great projection and longevity, so better not to overapply.

  Smells super sweet with an incredible trail that lasts forever. It immediately reminded me of the most famous gourmand, La Vie Est Belle, which oddly enough came out a year earlier. This is for strong people… sensitive noses will find it overwhelming and it might even give them a headache.

  I love this Cabotine; I’d say it’s the best for my taste, even surpassing the original. Anyone I’ve recommended it to for its quality-price ratio has been delighted. No doubt I’ll repeat and repeat. I hope they don’t erase it from the map like they did with others, it would be a shame. Of course, it’s for people who like a perfume that lasts hours and isn’t discreet, but it’s not heavy for my taste. It has a good trail for several hours and you notice where you go. Suitable for all ages but for cold seasons.

  I love this Cabotine; I’d say it’s the best, even surpassing the original. To whom I’ve recommended it for value, everyone was delighted. No doubt I’ll repurchase. I hope they don’t erase it from the map. It’s for those who want a perfume that lasts hours, not discreet but not heavy either. It has a good trail and you can tell where you’ve been. Suitable for all ages and cold seasons.

  It’s curious because I love it even though I barely distinguish a single note. At first, it reminds me of those chocolate bonbons with anise or orange; sweet yes, but thick and sugar-free. A sweet that a child surely wouldn’t enjoy. As the hours pass, I start to notice the patchouli and amber, very nice and not overdone. Generally, I’m not much of a gourmand fragrance person, but this seems very appetising for autumn/winter. It has very good longevity (I can still smell it after almost eight hours) and its trail is moderate. Bravo again, Grès.

  The trail of this perfume is out of control. You get in a car and everyone asks about it. You’re in a house’s lounge and everyone who arrives asks about it; it permeates the whole room. Watch out with that, if you’re in an office or small space you’ll overwhelm everyone. On the other hand, I liked the scent a lot but I think it’s getting tiring to wear it in enclosed spaces; you have it right in your nose all the time. I think it’s better for wearing outdoors.

  Curious that I love it despite not distinguishing many notes. At first it smells like boozy dark chocolate bonbon or orange: sweet, thick, and sugar-free. As hours pass I notice the patchouli and amber, lovely and not overbearing. I’m not much of a gourmand, but this seems appetising for autumn/winter. It lasts nearly 8 hours and has a moderate trail. Bravo, Grès.

  The trail is insane. In the car everyone asks about it; at home it permeates the living room. Be warned: if you’re in an office, you’ll overwhelm everyone. I liked it a lot but it tires me in enclosed spaces; better for outdoors.

  It resembles La Vie Est Belle but is softer and kinder. I agree that its fixative is quite good and its price is even better.

  I don’t recall smelling anything so dreadfully sweet since Fantasy by Britney Spears, although at least the latter has more nuances, more ‘soul’, and I can even enjoy it when I perceive it on someone else. Here, I can’t distinguish anything other than sugar, an oppressive sugar, slightly aniseed and burnt, nothing more. It’s not that it smells bad; if I smell it for three seconds, it even seems pleasant, a very sweet scent that smells sweet and refined, but prolonging the exposure results in nausea and exhaustion. I detect no evolution at all; that scorched and cloying sweetness lasts hours from start to finish without the slightest variation. Nuclear projection and desperate longevity.

  I can’t recall anything so dreadfully sweet since Britney Spears’ Fantasy, although this has more soul. Here I only smell overwhelming sugar, slightly boozy and burnt. It doesn’t smell bad, but prolonging exposure makes me nauseous. I detect no evolution; that burnt sweetness lingers for hours without changing. Nuclear trail and exhausting longevity.

  My first Cabotine and I’ve loved it. I bought it for the notes; I’m a lover of cypress, but on my skin it smells more like amber. The first time it seemed familiar; now I know it recalls a discontinued Yves Rocher scent: Nature Millénaire. They share the musk and give me the same vibe.

  I got this through an exchange and I love it. It’s sweet but delicious. With just two or three sprays. I use it every now and then when I fancy something sweet, and then I enjoy its nuances. It’s a swirl of rose, patchouli, and sandalwood in a honeyed apricot sweetness. The bergamot escapes upon opening. There’s caramel and burnt sugar, sweet powdery musk. The trail is good, lasting about 4 hours. It’s wearable for informal situations or at home, but not in summer or for sport. For me, it’s an excellent fragrance at a great price.

  I got it through an exchange and I’m happy to have it. Yes, it’s very sweet, but I find it delicious. I don’t overapply either: just two or three sprays. I admit I only wear it now and then, when I fancy something sweet; but then I enjoy it and find some charming nuances. It’s a very blended fragrance. Rose, patchouli and sandalwood swirl in a spiral of melon-cotton sweetness. The bergamot barely escapes as the curtain opens. There’s caramel and burnt sugar. Sweet and soft musk gives a powdery touch to the dry down. The trail is quite good and follows me for hours. Longevity is about four hours, I warn you that I don’t count it once it’s skin-level. I’d like to feel at least a few puffs here and there as I move, particularly on my hands. I find it wearable for informal situations or even at home; though not in summer, for sport, or in small spaces. Not suitable for those who don’t like fruity-chouli and sweet perfumes. For me, it’s an excellent fragrance at a very good price, this Cabotine.

  Sweet but without tipping into pasteurised territory. Just sweet and clean. It doesn’t bother or stand out; it’s pleasant but not delicious. It’s not as deep as FB or LVEB, but for work it’s not unpleasant.

  If you’re looking for medicinal syrup, here it is. Sweet, striking due to the patchouli, and warm from the amber. Very sexy and feminine. Ideal if you want to turn heads and enjoy sweet, strong scents. It’s fruitier, younger, and more fun than La Vie Est Belle. It has its own personality; it’s not a clone.

  A pearl for the price: smells like realistic caramel with sweet jasmine. The only downside is it fades after 2 hours, but at €10 I’m delighted.
