Grès Cabotine Fleur Splendide is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Mylène Alran. Cabotine Fleur Splendide opens with Bergamot, Freesia, and Peach, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Grès's Cabotine Fleur Splendide carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive and sweet, this 'chypre floral' has little chypre and loads of gourmand. Expect vanilla, caramel, and peach, often compared to popular sweet bombs. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but at this price, it's a safe blind buy for sweet scent fanatics.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its sweet, gourmand nature, make it suitable for casual wear or dates where a pleasant but not overpowering presence is desired. It's generally too sweet and often perceived as too strong for formal settings or professional office environments, though some find it office-appropriate.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Cabotine Fleur Splendide opens with a sweet, fruity burst of peach and bergamot, softened by delicate freesia. The heart introduces a creamy blend of rose and jasmine, nestled against a prominent sandalwood accord. The dry-down reveals a warm, amber-musk base, with patchouli adding a hint of earthy depth, all while maintaining a persistent, often caramelised sweetness.
