About This Perfume
Grès Cabochard Eau de Toilette 2019 smells like leather-bound book, smoky greens, rose petals. It opens with aldehydes, galbanum and sage, moves into rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang and settles on oakmoss, leather and patchouli. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2019.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.

The Brand
Grès
Grès is a French heritage house from the couturier Madame Alix Grès, whose fragrance line is anchored by two enduring pillars: Cabochard (1959, the smoky-leather-and-chypre classic) and Cabotine (1990, the fresh-floral counterpoint). 20 Grès perfumes are listed on Scendira; the cheapest sits near $13 and the priciest near $39. The Grès names that come up most in fragrance communities: Grès Cabochard, Grès Cabotine and Grès Cabochard Chérie.
What the picks smell like
Grès Cabochard (1959) reads as mossy leather jacket, green florals, musky air, opening on Persian galbanum and Comorian ylang-ylang and drying down to Moroccan oakmoss, Indonesian patchouli and Bourbon vetiver. Grès Cabotine (Eau de Toilette, 1990) is described as powdery white florals, fruity sparkle on musk, with coriander and orange blossom up top and civet, musk and vetiver underneath. On Grès Cabochard Chérie (Eau de Parfum, 2019), expect fresh pear and basil, sweet floral leather; it starts with basil and bergamot and settles on praliné, patchouli and leather.
