Cabotine Rose

I've been looking for another rose, something different from my trusty Stellas, and the bottle & reviews sold me on Gres. Truly this bottle is a joy to behold, so heavy and light at the same time. The juice inside harmonizes perfectly with this bottle. It's so rose, so floral, from the get-go that I literally felt as though I'd stuck my face into some of the old-fashioned sea roses that grow wild here on the New England coast. During the opening there is just a hint of pear & orange, hardly there and in no way subtracting from that glorious rose. Gres Cabotine Rose settles quickly but never gives up her rose notes. A few hours into wear I can pick up the other florals, most specifically the cherry blossom, but still no pepper or sandalwood. Time will tell today if she has lasting power, or if those spices will show up, but sillage is very well done. She projects, but that's just fine. Who in the world would find this glorious bouquet offensive? EDIT: Longetivity is about 5-6 hours or more depending on how much I've applied. I am so in love with this fragrance I've adopted it as my signature. Beautiful Cabotine Rose, I reach for her again and again, neglecting the rest of my wardrobe.

This is a lovely, fresh and light spring scent. After I spreyed it and was immediately reminded of blossoming cherry trees on a sunny yet a bit chilly spring day. Really enchanting! I would have called it pettals or as in the top note - cherry blossoms. Though it is said that the fragrance develops with time and I just opened my bottle so I will update if it changes. After a while the powder and rose become a bit more pronounced and you are teleported to a spring evening, the sun is going down and you smell the heavy and intoxicating plum blossoms. I know it is the rose with the powder but that is the feeling I get - heavy powderry pettals but still light in their nature. I really like fragrances that take you on a small trip and this seems to be one which suprised me considering the price point. Definetly recommend if you like fresh and light florals! Great for spring! Or if you want to be reminded of cherry flower viewing. Not so much if you are looking for a strong rose scent, at least not for a fresh bottle.

Like some of the other reviewers here, this was a blind buy, based on my affection for the original Cabotine (my Tendre Poison substitute). This rose flanker is a new favourite! Light, soft, feminine and powdery rose tones with cherry blossom and something a little woody underneath, it sits close to the skin and lasts an age. The fruity top notes don't last long on me, and it's not too sweet, but the pear makes a reappearance in the base notes, which was unexpected (I bought it based on people's reviews here). The morning after I wore it for the first time, my shoulders smelt of musk, sandalwood and pear. The notes I don't really get are vetiver, frangipani or pink pepper, but this may be more to do with my nose than the lack of their presence - it feels very well blended. Dare I say, better blended than the original cabotine...I just feel very fresh when I wear this perfume, it's as though it is part of me and although I like a lot of fragrances, not many have that effect.

Cabotine Rose is light, unassuming and delicate. Although this fragrance does not project in the slightest, the lasting power on the skin is better than many EDTs and stays noticeable on my skin for about 3-4 hours. It also lasts beautifully on clothing and is perfect to spray on your pajamas to wake up to a fresh, uplifting scent in the morning. Although many have mentioned cherry blossom, the opening is a strong rose note to me. You may think, why purchase Cabotine Rose when I could achieve a similar effect with simple rose water? But the beauty is in the dry down, where the citrus notes bloom with a slight musk that is reminiscent of Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue. It is a dirt cheap scent and definitely worth your money if you're looking for a light rosy, citrusy scent for spring and cooler summer days.

Cherry blossom and frangipani-so sweet and fresh dominate this lovely fragrance. "Rose" is certainly a shampoo smell in the absolute best way possible. There is a subtle waft of actual rose, but it does not overpower. The musk is nearly nonexistent, and certainly not animalic. Should you be looking for a realistic rose, please look elsewhere-this is more a feeling name than a flower-it feels like a favorite dusky rose shirt with lace or a ruffle, clean and fresh, that makes you feel like a "girly-girl". Light- you can not spray too much. Low on the "headache factor". Work safe and absolutely lovely.In fact, this is equally lovely in warm or cool weather...and...the price is extremely right. For less than 10 US dollars-reapply every 4 hours if you feel the need.Please; I'd love to smell you.

Recently purchased 100 mls of this from Cheap Smells for a silly price. Firstly the bottle is very cute and heavy with a pretty floral cap - secondly the smell is divine! I love florals and this light, sparkling scent is unlike anything I've worn before. Yes, its floral and I can certainly smell the rose and cherry blossom but there are delicious notes to this scent that are just gorgeous. It has a warmth to it and is slightly spicy although not in any way heavy. I don't get much fruit (which I don't mind) just a cashmere soft, peppery floral that lasts well and has good sillage. I spritzed this morning and at lunch time its still going strong. Recommended for anyone who wants a floral, feminine but not too girly scent!

I adore this fragrance. It is beautiful and fresh. I was looking for a Rose fragrance for Spring and decided on this and Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Flora Rosa. They are both Rose-Berry fragrances but they are quite different. This one is fresher and more complex than Flora Rosa. The Rose is there but not over the top as it is blended perfectly with the other many notes. The Cherry Blossom in this is not overbearing and adds to the overall lightness. The Mimosa and Peony are two of my favorite notes and Cabotine Rose's other more noticeable floral notes. It has a mild soapiness that is not cloying at all. It lasts all day and its sillage is moderate. 9/10

I do not understand the bad reviews or maybe to say fake reviews. I do not purchase toilette fragrances at all because they only last a minute. I adore this fragrance with the Roses, apricots, pears, white musk, honeysuckle, violets at the first notes. This is better than a $100 designer Rose eau de perfume. This is the fragrance I was looking for to wear 2019 spring -early fall daytime only. This is a natural spray which is amazing with the size of the bottle and ingredients. I shall ignore the fake negative reviews and use the Fragrantica break down of the notes which help me select this Cabotine Rose.

When I was a senior in high school, my boyfriend bought me a set of floral perfumes. A set of little .5oz scents from Victoria's Secret. I think there were 5 of them I liked them all but loved the freesia and the rose scent. One spritz of this light floral scent and it takes me back to carefree days and my first love. Amazing! I love it! All I smell is roses, fresh, watery and light. Longevity is not great and the sillage is moderate, but it is so inexpensive you can afford to use it with abandon if you wish. This doesnt smell cheap, it smells like a rose garden after a rain storm.

I've been looking for some pleasant rose perfume and got this one eventually at Marshalls. I've had it already for a month or two, but started using only this week. When I just bought it I did not like the fragrance as I smelled a lot of pepper which I did not enjoy and could not distinct a pure rose note. However, I gave it a second try recently and did not regret. I love it - fresh, soft, sweet floral. I smell different flowers in it and it makes me happy!) Great perfume for such low price. Doesn't smell cheap to me at all!

I did not know this perfume and I bought it because it was on sale...I am very happy about it, I love it! I was very surprised cause I hate the green one which I think is loud and harsh... It's a fruity-floral, very feminine. I have been looking for a rose perfume that is not ALL about roses, and this one works great. Rose-sherry blossom-peony-pear-pepper is what I get the most. I have decided it would become my summer scent! AND....yes I am in my 40s and NO, I do not think I am too old to wear this ;-)

I really appreciate this pleasant rose scent. It does smell like other flowers as well but rose is very prominent. I was so pleased that there are no citrus notes that dominate the fragrance. The rose in this perfume is the star. I also have different Stellas (bought them all unsniffed based on glowing reviews) but IMHO Cabotine Rose outshines them all. I believe it would have much higher rating if it had higher price tag. Cabotine Rose is a wonderful perfume. LOVE It!

This is a sweet, feminine fragrance. The rose is delicate and balanced perfectly with cherry blossom and peony and fruity notes. The fragrance did not change for a couple of hours, then it lightened and added musk and wood. The Sillage was far, but light And pleasant. At 12 hours, i can still pick up very faint notes, mostly musk. I would wear this fragrance on outings wirh my son, or with friends. She has earned a permanent spot in my wardrobe.

This is a musky and very sweet rosy floral. She is soft but powerful and you only need 2 sprays to appreciate its sweetness. It is refreshing to find such a powerful perfume for such a bargain price! I have one other Gres perfume (Cabotine) and it seems that this perfume house makes strong perfume that lasts. I find this a great change from the watered down perfumes that are all too common.

When it comes to every day casual wear rose scents, this is a winner. No matter how many of those I buy, I always come back to cabotine rose. So beautiful!!Like rose petals in cold water with something like makeup, lipstick cosmetic smell...It's great for the summer,all day long,after shower and as a bedtime scent.

So fresh and lovely! I put this on first thing in the morning just as a pick me up and reapply during the day. Never overwhelms. Constant compliments. So inexpensive as to be ridiculous, but the scent never smells cheap. You{ll never be sorry to have it in your collection.

I love this my new discovery very much. It smells for me like herbal tea, faded flowers, and maybe dried fruits. There’s something both gothic and deeply feminine in it. I think it is suitable for any age. Probably not unisex, but might be. Absolutely gorgeous.

It's totally beautiful !!! It reminds me about my favorite scent when I was a child. Classic and girly enough for 16 to 20 years old. The bottle looks so cute, I love this so much, and I also love the Blue one, but it has been discontinued for years, so sad :(

It's the kind of perfume that I would wear with a floral sundress to meet the boyfriend's parents for the first time or to go on a romantic, spring date. It is very feminine and appropriate. Spray this on yourself and you will instantly feel pretty.

A Nod to Yesteryear: Add a dash of rain, a few dryer sheets, & a couple of drops of sweet rose water..... Stir it all in & you have a wonderfully clean naturally sweet beautiful fragrance!
