This eau de toilette works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. It suits date nights. Released in 1990.
In the community's experience it lasts through a full day, and projects to about arm's length.

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). The 17 live pieces on Scendira average .89, run almost entirely feminine (16 of 17), and skew Floral (6) with Woody (4). Prices span $12.95-$38.92 (average $22), remarkable value for heritage. Standout live pieces: Cabochard Parfum ($13.99,.35, leather-bound tobacco sachet with warm sage and moss), Cabochard Eau de Parfum 2019 ($19.23,.14, green aldehydes with smoky leather and rose), Cabochard Eau de Toilette 2019 ($23.39,.05, leather-bound book, smoky greens, rose petals), Pièce Unique ($24.82,.03, spicy leather jacket with sweet plum and incense) and Cabotine Fleur Splendide ($13.99,.99, sweet creamy fruit tea with soft florals).
