Grès Cabotine Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003. Cabotine Rose opens with Cherry Blossom, Mandarin, Pear, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Frangipani. Grès's Cabotine Rose carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive floral, Cabotine Rose is either a delightful, fresh take on rose and cherry blossom or a synthetic, soapy mess. It's affordable, light, and inoffensive to some, but to others, it's a 'rose' only in name.

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 Sport

Its light sillage and fresh, clean profile make it highly suitable for office wear and casual settings, as many reviewers note it's inoffensive and good for everyday. It's less ideal for dates or formal events due to its perceived simplicity and lack of depth, and it works well for sport because of its fresh, 'just showered' feel.

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

  • 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 Rose opens with a bright burst of blackcurrant and pear, softened by cherry blossom. The heart is a lush bouquet where rose, peony, and jasmine intertwine, given a subtle kick by pepper. It settles into a clean, musky base with hints of sandalwood and vetiver, creating a fragrance that aims for fresh floral elegance with a touch of fruit.
