Cabochard is not for young girls or those without a developed nose for perfumes. It's designed for women who prefer the rich and complex. If I could afford to bathe in this, I would. The modern version of this is a cousin to the original, but still far and above most of what is currently is on the market. No Floriental celebrity perfumes in this bottle!

From Perfume Intelligence:

The 1958 Version: a feminine leather chypre parfum with top notes of clary sage, tarragon and galbanum with heart notes of jasmine, ginger lily, rose and ylang-ylang; base notes of oak moss, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli, and classified D7f.

The 2000 version: Re-orchestrated with notes of bergamot, mandarin, galbanum, ylang-ylang, jasmine, Bulgarian rose, clove, oakmoss, tobacco, musk, iris, sandalwood, vetiver, leather, castoreum, patchouli and labdanum.

This review is from: Cabochard By Parfums Gres For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 3.3 Ounces (Health and Beauty)

Being new to wearing perfume, having used essential oils instead (love myrrh, frankincense, vetiver, bergamont, cedar) - I was looking for a complex, subtle scent. My mother used Channel no5 which I liked but I wanted something more..... I did alot of research & visited several dept stores -literally smelled EVERY scent they had - which would include most of the popular stuff out there. EVERY thing was so sweet & flowery & overpowering, (ie this includes Black Orchid). So, did some work online and found the leather chypre scents... of course, these are nearly impossible to find.... so I took a chance & orderd both Cabochard & Bandit online & love them both! Your body chemistry does have to flow w/ these scents and they do not last all day. I use the Cabochard for workday & Bandit for everything else. No problems w/ my allergies. I work in an environment where perfumes can be problematic but have absolutely no problems wearing either to work. I also use Cabaret (by Gres) for a lighter, spring/summer scent.

I just got this after reading a review that compared it with Bandit, one of my major favorites. Well, it turns out I like this BETTER than Bandit except for the opening. Bandit opens with a peppery-ness that I like a lot, but it fades quickly. Cabochard opens less interestingly, but it dries down to smell almost exactly like Bandit but with a little less masculinity. It's a great scent--nice and complex. Not for kids--far too mature. While it is recommended for evening, I'm wearing it in the daytime, too.
