Grès Cabotine Eau Vivide is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Richard Ibanez. Cabotine Eau Vivide opens with Lemon, Freesia, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Rose, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Peach. Grès's Cabotine Eau Vivide carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Cabotine Eau Vivide is a divisive, salty-fresh aquatic that evokes a breezy seaside holiday. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with some hailing it as an underrated masterpiece, while others find its briny, woody depth stomach-churning. Definitely one to test before buying if you're not a fan of marine notes.

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.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Opening with a sharp burst of lemon and juicy blackcurrant, this fragrance quickly plunges into a refreshing marine heart. Salty sea notes intertwine with delicate rose and lily of the valley, creating the sensation of ocean spray on a bed of fresh florals. A clean base of cedar and musk, softened by a hint of peach, gives it a subtle warmth and grounding, leaving a trail of sophisticated, breezy freshness.
