Grès Ambre de Cabochard is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006, created by Jean Claude Delville and Jean-Pierre Bethouart. Ambre de Cabochard opens with Blueberry, Mandarin, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Tuberose, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Grès's Ambre de Cabochard carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A divisive amber, lauded for its warm, spicy blueberry character, but frequently criticised for its fleeting performance. Some call it an underrated gem, others a synthetic mess - try before you buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for close-quarters like the office or casual settings without being overpowering. The warm, inviting amber and spice notes, however, might be a bit too cozy for formal events, and it's certainly not built for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Ambre de Cabochard opens with a vibrant burst of blueberry and blackcurrant, spiced with cinnamon, cardamom, and a zing of ginger. This lively fruit and spice blend soon settles into a heart of delicate cyclamen, tuberose, and lily of the valley, adding a soft, slightly powdery floral touch. The drydown reveals a comforting warmth, as rich amber, creamy vanilla, and tonka bean intertwine with earthy patchouli and woody notes, creating a sensual and cozy finish.
