Grès Cabochard 2019 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Bernard Chant. Cabochard 2019 opens with Galbanum, Sage, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Grès's Cabochard 2019 carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This 2019 re-issue is divisive: some hail it as a faithful, brilliant green chypre, others find it too harsh, retro, or smelling of cigarette ash. It's not a safe blind buy, so sample before committing, but if it clicks, it could be your next signature. Great value for a quality scent.

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:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its strong projection and distinctive character make it less suitable for the office where subtlety is often key. It shines for dates and formal events, or even casual wear for those who want to make a statement, particularly in cooler weather.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

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

Cabochard 2019 bursts forth with a powerful green accord of galbanum and sage, brightened by aldehydes. As it settles, a floral heart of rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang emerges, softened by the initial intensity. The base is a sophisticated blend of prominent leather and earthy oakmoss, reinforced by patchouli and sandalwood, giving it a deep, vintage complexity.
