Cabotine by Gres is a Floral fragrance for women Cabotine was launched in 1990 The nose behind this fragrance is Jean Claude Delville
Description: In the creator's imagination, Cabotine is a daughter of Cabochard, a younger generation perfume, which has preserved the elegance and distinction of Cabochard. It was created with love and enthusiasm, with a very limited budget, and it became a classic of the 1990-ties. It was created by Jean-Claude Delville from IFF, and he was expected to make a light but lasting perfume, which was a hard task to do. The perfumer found its formula in floral-aldehyde accord and presented a transparent fragrance with green floral and sharp aldehyde notes. The perfume is very light, easy to wear, and at the same time tenacious. It achieved success regardless of very limited advertising and promotional support.
The composition is created around the ginger lily, also known as a butterfly lily, a Himalayan large-petalled white flower. Growing in a harsh high mountain climate, this plant blooms for only a few weeks in the springtime, and each flower lives only for a few hours, which makes it difficult, almost impossible, to extract the oil. An IFF pioneering researcher, Dr. Braja Mookherjee, found a way to analyze the oil structure using the 'living flower technique, and to copy the fragrance of the ginger lily, which enabled industrial production. Cabotine is the first perfume that contains ginger lily in its composition.
The top notes contain blackcurrant buds, pear, plum, and coriander. The heart is composed of rose, tuberose, ylang-ylang, ginger lily, hyacinth, heliotrope, freesia, violet, and iris. The base notes are cedarwood, vanilla, tonka bean, cybet, musk, and amber. The perfume was created in 1990. The bottle, whose stopper was turned into the shape of flower, was created by Thierry Lecoule.
