Coriander, orange blossom, cassia, black currant, plum, peach, and tangerine crowd the entire opening of Cabotine by Gres in an ambitious fruity spiced rush unlike most typical florals attempted anywhere today. Tuberose, hyacinth, carnation, jasmine, ginger, ylang ylang, rose, freesia, iris, heliotrope, and violet take over the middle with extraordinary floral density that keeps developing for hours. Civet, musk, black currant, vetiver, sandalwood, cedar, amber, tonka bean, and vanilla settle into the dry down with real, considerable, lasting resinous weight. Formal evenings and important occasions suit this floral Eau de Toilette spray especially well, rewarding real patience with its considerable depth. Gres treats maximalism as a genuine virtue throughout, layered and entirely unwilling to simplify itself for a faster, easier read.
