Cabotine Floralie

If you are still hunting for last minute stocking fillers, or wanted to introduce children to the wonders of fragrance, this darling little budget fragrance is a great choice. The bottle is one of the prettiest I've ever seen and I can't imagine that the scent would offend many. Floralie is nothing like the original Cabotine, in case you were wondering at the plethora of flankers. Floralie is a far more subtle floral than her parent, with an absolutely beautiful salty note. Flowers and salt? You wouldn't think it could work, would you, but it does, because neither is overwhelming. Despite the overtly feminine bottle, I think this is a Unisex scent. Men would smell incredible wearing this - I can't test it because He Who Must Be Ignored in All Things Perfume says he has unspecified "allergies" and can run surprisingly fast when motivated. Floralie is a good choice for hot days, but I do wish it was stronger. The house of Gres should be congratulated on consistently releasing good quality budget fragrances.

Update: I’m actually getting Crystal Noir vibes from this 🤔 Love at first sniff! I wanted to start the Cabotine experience and this bottle appealed the most to me. I found it the most suitable for the coming warm season, so I blind bought it. For me and on me it’s marine salty coconut-y sunscreen-ish, it gives vacation vibes, a light creamy but long lasting scent, it’s very comforting.

Got this for 10€ without smelling it first and it ́s lovely. A fragance of white flowers and a bit of coconut, lemon and musk. Sweet but not sickenly fruity. It ́s a pity the longevity is moderate and sillage is weak but it ́s a lovely skin fragance for the hottest days of summer, fresh, clean, uplifting and light and won ́t bother people in public transportation. A nice one.

First of all, this has nothing in common with the original green Cabotine. It is very fresh, watery and has a clean vibe. It reminds me of the times when I used to add a few drops of white musk essential oil in the washing maschine before I did my laundry. Nice, clean scent.

I bought this at a special low price yesterday with no tester available and don't regret my purchase at all. The bottle is so pretty and the scent is delightful; warm, sweet and a bit musky without being sickly or cloying. I'm so happy with my bargain! YAY!
