Cabotin

Cabotin, a Spicy Floral

Cabotin was a spirited, spicy floral from a classic French house. Our version keeps that character, opening with blackcurrant, coriander, and ginger before a tuberose and rose heart settles over sandalwood, musk, and vanilla.

The Story Behind the Scent

Grès built Cabotin with a playful, youthful energy, mixing spice and fruit with creamy white flowers. The idea was elegance with a wink, refined but never stuffy.

That lively character is why it kept a following. The blackcurrant and ginger give it sparkle, the tuberose makes it creamy, and the soft base grounds it. Since it was discontinued, fans have missed it. Our interpretation keeps it available.
