Cabotine Rose (2003)
by Grès

Very pretty cherry blossom scent. Much nicer than my Body Shop Cherry Blossom and cheaper to boot! If you are after a mimosa flag I recommend this

I have often seen Cabotine Rose held up as an unsung rose fragrance of reasonable price and excellent quality, when I saw an abandoned bottle in a discount store - I tested.

It's an industrial-strength, pink-pepper, citrus aerosol that dries down to floral soap and stays what way for hours. It definitely smells more like a mimosa, a "cherry blossom," not very "rosy" at all.

Not to my taste, but a great value if it's to yours.

cabotine rose is a nice soft floral a little powdery after you wear it for a while .you'll probably need to re-spritz in 3-5 hours if you are oilly/combination,more often if dry skinned . i liked it not as strong as TEA ROSE from perfumers workshope,like TOVAH said it isn't a rose scent -but it is a nice affordable sweet floral fragrance .TJMaxx had it for $12.

Lovely, cheap and cheerful. Per fragrantica, notes are: black currant, mandarin orange, cherry blossom and pear; middle notes are peony, mimose, tuberose, orange blossom, lily, pepper, jasmine and rose; base notes are sandalwood, musk, vetiver and frangipani.

This is the first frag from the house of Gres that I have really embraced. I found Cabotine screechy, loud, and unpleasantly cheap smelling, Cabochard was, too sharply green. I rather like the sniff of Cabaret, but on skin it does not seem to like me.
Cabotine Rose warmed my spirit immediately. Nicely blended and grounded, I think it moves out of the generic floral scent by the notes of black current and pepper, which keep it from becoming too cloying or sharp. And what a bargain for such a quality frag. I liked it as much as some of the very pricey niche scents and I did't have to save up for months to afford it.

Cabotine Rose isn't "rose" flower. In this fragrance, the "rose" is the word for"pink" in French...Cabotine Rose is a bright, pretty cherry blossom fragrance that, to me, blows B&BW Cherry Blossom out of the water. This is a more complex blend in the quaintest little bottle...If you like cherry blossom and you happen to find this somewhere, do give it a try.
