Grès Cabochard Chérie is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Dorothée Piot. Cabochard Chérie opens with Bergamot, Pear, and Basil, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Freesia, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, and Praline. Grès's Cabochard Chérie carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This flanker to a true icon is an absolute steal for the price, delivering surprising depth and elegance. It is divisive, with some finding it a sophisticated take on a modern chypre and others experiencing it as a cheap headache-inducing mess.

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.

Its moderate sillage and chameleon-like quality make it versatile for most settings, with many finding it 'office siren' appropriate. However, the prominent sweet and leather notes can be too much for very formal environments, and it's certainly not a gym scent.

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.

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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 Chérie opens with a vibrant burst of crisp pear and bright bergamot, underscored by a surprising hint of basil. As it settles, a floral heart of delicate narcissus and freesia emerges, eventually giving way to a rich, complex base where soft leather intertwines with sweet praline and earthy patchouli. It's a modern take on a classic structure, balanced between sweet, green, and nuanced leather.
