  |  I am so disappointed that this classic just hates me. It goes very chemical-y and unpleasant half way through and there are no redeeming features to rescue it later. The opening is invitingly green and fruity, but it's all downhill from there.03 August 2008 |
  |  I made the mistake and smelled it from the bottle and on other people - I absolutely adored it and wanted it for myself. Unfortunately it completely clashes with my chemistry. Too bad! I still have the bottle and spray it sometimes on my pillow. It is so green and fresh. Wish I could wear it.25 July 2008 |
 |  This was one of my favorite scents back when it was introduced. Sweet, green, and floral. Elegant, refined, and not at all sharp. Though this was one of my early fragrances, I always thought it smelled French (don't ask what I mean by that...) but not overly mature for someone in her 20s.10 June 2008 |
 | Awwww, so sad! I absolutely adore this on my aunt; she's an older lady and it makes her smell fresh, youthful and happy. Me? I smell old, stagnant and over-perfumed from only one test-spritz on my arm! Very, very sad. But I am blaming my skin, this is lovely, do try it. And the bottle! So lovely! 30 May 2008 |
 | I was terribly put off by the negative reviews here and almost did not buy a bottle of Cabotine for my wife. Someone said it smelled moldy on their skin and I found that to be enough to make me think it was a nasty scent. I returned to basenotes later however and found many reviews that were postive. I decided to trust them and my wife tested in for a few days--it was lovely from start to finish! We were amazed by it! It is the incense note I think, blended with the carnation, because we also love Caron's Parfum Sacre. I give this scent an enthusiastic thumbs up. 10 April 2008 |

| Finally, a floral I can love! Finally, a daytime scent I can add to my wardrobe! I usually shy away from florals, but not this one. When I first smelled it, I though, "nice, but not quite my thing..." But it grows on you. It's got enough complexity to keep you interested. Others have said it's all one note, all ginger lily. I have never smelled an actual ginger lily, but I would never have labeled it soliflore. Especially in the beginning, I get a lot more green notes. Not a woody scent, but like a flower you'd expect to find covered in raindops in cool, lush forest. Later, more soliflore perhaps. Long lasting. Loving it. 08 April 2008 |
