Which Should You Buy?
Cabotine is a force of nature, a bold floral explosion that absolutely polarises opinion. Some love its vintage charm and potent sillage, others recoil from its 'old-fashioned' punch. It’s cheap 'n' cheerful, but divisive; you'll either adore its green, sweet power, or scrub it off in horror.
This 90s powerhouse is a fascinating blend of opulence and restraint. It's a scent for the bold, confident woman who isn't afraid to make an entrance, though some find it a bit too vintage for everyday wear. Love it or hate it, No. 4 demands attention.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its potent projection and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, but its celebratory floral character shines for formal events and even casual outings where you want to make a statement. The strong sillage means it might be too much for an intimate date, but a confident wearer can pull it off.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong sillage and rich, complex profile, No. 4 is best suited for formal events and dates, where its presence can truly shine. It's generally too intense for an office setting and much too overstated for casual wear or sport.
