Grès Cabotine Gold is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Vincent Schaller. Cabotine Gold opens with Mandarin, Pink Pepper, and Melon, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower, Jasmine, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Grès's Cabotine Gold carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This Gold flanker from Gres is a proper Marmite moment. Some find it a shimmering, sophisticated Coco Mademoiselle alternative, while others recoil from the 'calamine lotion' vibe or declare it a budget scrubber. You'll either love its fresh, peppery bite or you'll be rushing to the sink.

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 fresh, clean, and sometimes 'soapy' character makes it suitable for office and casual wear, especially in warmer weather given its sparkling, airy quality. However, perceived strong projection by some, alongside a 'shouty' character, lowers its formal and date night appeal.

About

Cabotine Gold opens with a juicy splash of mandarin and melon, sharpened by a kick of pink pepper. It quickly shifts into a heart of white florals, predominantly jasmine and tiare flower, lending a cool, slightly metallic edge. The dry-down reveals a woody, earthy foundation of patchouli and vetiver, balanced by a hint of amber for warmth. It's a fresh, modern chypre with a sparkling, energetic feel.
