Caline

Grès · 2004

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Grès Caline is a women's fragrance that pairs a fresh, fruity-floral character with a soft sweet, gourmand finish, and it suits spring and summer days. Most voters pick spring and summer, and the occasions that come up most are daily wear, leisure and the office. Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin as a light scent. It has been discontinued. It opens with orange, mandarin orange, apple and ivy, which read fresh and fruity. Jasmine, plum and lotus bring a floral softness to the heart. In the base, tonka bean, praliné and musk sweeten it into a powdery, gourmand warmth.

Cabotine Rosalie

7.5

Grès · 2014

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Grès Cabotine Rosalie is a fresh, fruity and sweet women's fragrance built around apple, plum and florals; it has been discontinued. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick it for daytime, leisure and the office, and less for evenings or nights out. It opens with apple, petitgrain and lemon tree, softened by almond. The heart brings plum, rose, jasmine and iris, with violet and magnolia adding a powdery, creamy touch. The base of vanilla, benzoin, amber and cedar turns it sweeter and warmer.

Eau de Toilette

Grès Monsieur Eau de Toilette is a discontinued men's fragrance that pairs a floral, green core with spicy, resinous and earthy tones. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, then spring; it leans towards evenings and nights out, and some also wear it to the office. It opens with bergamot and lavender, then moves into the spicy warmth of carnation and cinnamon. Tonka bean, amber and moss form a resinous, woody and earthy base, with a leathery touch among the accords. Atkinsons Rockford and Dior Jules have a close profile.

Cabotine Fleur Splendide

7.7

Grès · 2012

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Grès Cabotine Fleur Splendide is a sweet, powdery floral that sets freesia, rose and jasmine against the light fruitiness of white peach and bergamot; it has been discontinued. It opens bright and fruity with freesia, bergamot and white peach. In the heart, rose and jasmine carry the floral character while sandalwood softens it. The base of musk, patchouli and amber turns it sweeter, leaving a powdery, creamy and slightly gourmand warmth. Longevity is rated weak and sillage moderate, though few votes back these ratings. It is described as a women's fragrance, composed by Mylène Alran. Its profile is close to Joop! Le Bain and Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb.

Cabotine Eau Vivide

6.3

Grès · 2012

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Grès Cabotine Eau Vivide is a fresh women's fragrance that opens on freesia, lemon and blackcurrant and cools into marine notes; it has been discontinued. The top notes of freesia, lemon and blackcurrant make a bright, citrusy start. Marine notes lead the heart, with rose and lily of the valley carrying the floral side softly. At the base, peach adds a fruity sweetness, while white cedarwood, salicylate and musk dry the scent down on a lightly woody, clean footing. The overall impression is fresh, aquatic and fruity. Grès Cabotine Floralie and Little Marcel Little Sky have a close profile.
