GRES CABOTINE FOR WOMEN EDP 100ML
"Where wild ginger lilies meet the morning dew — nature bottled since 1990."Gres Cabotine · Pierre Bourdon · Paris, 1990
Olfactory Story
Created by master perfumer Pierre Bourdon for the house of Gres in 1990, Cabotine captures the untamed freshness of a secret garden in full bloom. Dewy ginger lilies and water hyacinths burst open in the top, softened by a lush heart of Bulgarian rose and lily of the valley, before settling into a warm, powdery base of musk, sandalwood and amber. Effortlessly feminine and enduringly modern.

Brand Heritage
The house of Gres was founded by the visionary couturiere Germaine Emilie Krebs in Paris in 1942. Celebrated for sculptural silk jersey couture, Gres channeled the same artistry into fragrance. Cabotine — launched in 1990 — became one of the defining green florals of its decade and remains a beloved classic to this day.
