Grès Cabotine Fleur d’Ivoire is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011, created by Richard Ibanez. Cabotine Fleur d’Ivoire opens with Almond, Peach, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of White Flowers and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Grès's Cabotine Fleur d’Ivoire carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This flanker is a divisive one. Some find it a clean, fresh, office-friendly floral with a delightful almond touch, while others get an unpleasant, almost chemical tang. It's a bit of a gamble, but a cheap one.

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 Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate performance and generally inoffensive, clean profile make it excellent for the office and casual daytime wear. It's too subtle for formal events and lacks the zest for sport, sitting comfortably in the background for dates.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

It kicks off with a fruity burst of peach and blackcurrant, underpinned by a delicate almond nuttiness. The heart blossoms into a soft, indistinct white floral bouquet, sweetened by a gentle vanilla. As it settles, a clean musk and creamy sandalwood emerge, rounded out by a smooth tonka bean, creating a subtle, powdery dry-down.
