XO,

I won a competition at college in my makeup class… the lecturer gifted me with a bottle of cabotine- I’d never seen it before, but once I started wearing it, it was a firm favourite ever since… and that was over 20 years ago! I’ve had so many compliments and people stopping me to ask what the fragrance is… I’ve recently purchased Cabochard in the hopes it’s as good as the other! The other factor is, it’s so affordable!! It makes an ideal gift…( I always hope Christmas and birthday includes this fragrance) and it lasts a long time on the skin. Fabulous
Cabotine was the scent I got for my wife to start her collection. She instantly fell in love with it. Even after getting a bunch of more "quality" or pricey fragrances, it's still one of her favorites. And she has a few of the flankers (Rose, Rosalie, Floralisme, Eau Vidide, and 1 or 2 more that I can't remember) and they're all great.
Tony, I am so excited to read this! I have been wondering about the flankers and now, based on your tip, hope to try some later this year. Thank you + I hope you are both keeping well.
Chypre (French for Cyprus) scents originated on the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean as early as the 12th century using Labdanum resin and other local araomatics, flowers and herbs, in the 14th century Oakmoss was added.
There is evidence of a perfume factory on Cyprus from about 2000 bc. I love Google ! 😂
I didn’t know the latter fact... that is amazing!! Love the intel, thank you.
@@savorsalvagescent2300 I did a quick trip to Tel Aviv last week and we flew past Cyprus, it’s a beautiful sight at night, it’s such a shame it’s bitterly divided between the Greek south and the Turkish north, I’ve never been to Cyprus, I’d love to go someday.
I lOVE Cabochard! I have Cabotine also but it’s not dry or dark enough for me. I can’t believe the price points on these. My other scents I love are Eau du Soir, Tom Ford Vert Boheme and even Coco so that’s where I come from. Thank you for this post. ❤️
This was so fun to read. Thanks for your post. I have heard that Eau du Soir + Vert Bohème are fabulous scents and the green elements sound right up my alley. Best to you!
Oh, the little vintage bottle of Cabochard is a darling! ♥️
Hello + thank you! I felt really lucky to find that old bottle. I went to an estate sale for someone who had owned a perfume shop in the 70s and that is my memento. 💛
Cabotine.... awe, how much do I love you! Always perfect in every situation and will never NOT be in my collection!
Aw, thank you for this lovely post! It is so fun to fall in love with a scent again and again. This is such a gem.
Cabochard is a favorite. When I saw your thumbnail I thought “blessed Saturday!” lol Bernard Chant is definitely among my top 2 or 3 favorite noses. He just made so many of my favorite perfumes.
Have I ever told you that I just POUR OVER your videos? I absolutely love your collection and how you give attention to scents that often get overlooked. So this post of your made my day, thank you! 😊🌸
Isn’t Bernard Chant incredible? Halston was my mom’s signature scent so his DNA was running through my childhood!
@@savorsalvagescent2300 Likewise! I know you are always going to come with some gems. 😊
@@raraavis7772 - Wow. I've just realised who you are. I love vintage YSL Paris and watched your 2015 video featuring it and it's flankers. You have a great collection
@@kathywitter6076 Thank you. 😊
@@savorsalvagescent2300 My all time favorite fragrance is Halston, with the runner up being Cabotine and what a lovely surprise to learn of Bernard Chant being the nose behind Halston and Cabochard! I am currently awaiting the arrival of Cabochard which I recently ordered and have never tried. Something tells me it’s going to be a beautiful new relationship! ❤️👍
I just got Cabochard - sprayed it in the box to test - thought 'eek, run away!', tried it on my arm a while later and I freaking love it!! Learnt a lesson there... 😆
Oh this is fun to read. Isn’t it interesting how some initial sprays might make you think “horrible!” but 5 mins later YUM. And then some I dislike just stay that way, ha! I think Cabochard is super tough, super sexy, fabulous!
@savorsalvagescent2300 I think paper or card testers selectively gobble up some of the ingredients, and at the same time, do not provide the body heat that brings the perfume to life. Someone described Cabochard as the scent that a woman who married for money wore at her husband's funeral... and then she went shopping! It smells expensive, assertive, and perfect for ladies or gents. 😊
Just discovered you! I own and LOVE both of these perfumes. I have 3 back up bottles of Cabotine 2 edt & 1 edp, yeah it’s a Love! Love old perfumes AE by Clinique is great too! I just enjoyed your awesome room tour from January and our tastes are very similar 😊. We must be about the same age I was born in the Fall of 1969 (Oct). The 70’s is my Favorite decade. My collection consists of big, chunky & colorful earrings, bracelets and necklaces........influence: I was a teenager in the 80’s (Lou Lou! Hee! Hee!). I will binge watch your videos this weekend 😊. You gave me some great organizing ideas. Thank you! 💛
Oh my gosh, how nice to meet you and thank you for this kind + encouraging post. We sure do seem to have similar interests (and age-I am about to turn 50). Please stay in touch snd let me know if there are any particular perfume ideas you would like me to explore! Love your name/tag, btw!
Will do & thank you! ☺️
cool earrings!!!!!
I love Cabotine so much!!!
I only put my nose to cabochard last week and LOVED it
So excited to read this!!
I found Cabotine for $14.99 today and it was love at first sniff. I passed it up once, but after this video I was happy to find it again. The first time I saw it they had the rose at the same time, but not this time. Thanks!
I’m so glad you love it, too! Thanks for your kind post. I missed the rise but hope to try it some day. Hope you will stay in touch.
I love your videos! I learn so much each time.
Thank you so much for sharing your kind words + encouragement. Please stay in touch!
I wore Cabotine this week, it was nice to revisit it! Wonderful review !
Thank you for the lovely post. Can’t wait to watch your next video!
Thanks for sharing your video take care ❤
Make pleasure! Thanks finir watching and for your kind post!
Oh and cabochard always reminds me of pistachios for some reason! 🤪
Just bought Cabotine at TJ’s. Love it! So vintage but so modern. 🍃🍃
Hi Beth!! Totally agree + so fun to read this post. 💚
Just ordered both!! 🤠💃 Can't wait.
Can’t wait to hear what you think of them! 💚
I loved Covet by sjp after you recommended it..! so I'm pretty sure I'll like these two as well. Slowly realizing that I like the scents that aren't necessarily "everyone's and their cousins" favorites.. But yes I will return with an update for sure ;)
Hi, Amy. You inspired me to buy both Cabochard and Cabotine, as well as Covet. I want to build up my perfume collection but can’t spend too much at this time. I have quite a few higher end perfumes but don’t want to overlook the more affordable options. Love your videos!
I am so happy to read this! I am usually on a very tight budget and believe there are many amazing, affordable gems! I love all three you mentioned and think Covet is niche quality! Thanks for the kind words.
Gorgeous video! I’m very familiar with Cabotine. But I really wanna try Cabochard, sounds more like my cup of tea. Chypre’s are my fav and Bernard Chant is my fav nose!!!!
Brandon, HI! Hope you are keeping well. I would say Cabotine isn’t for everyone but if you like chypres and your nose/skin can get down with a little leather, I think it is exquisite!
Sung by Alfred Sung is a favorite of mine!
That’s such an underrated + beautiful scent!!
Fab review. Just spritzed my cab edp.
I w
Recently got a cou0le of Patou re editions - chaldée and vacances. Both very beautiful. And worth checking out. Xx
Rachel hello + thank you! I have been wondering about Patou... it is crazy that I have to tried any of them so I will make a goal to do so this year. Thank you for your lovely post.
Bernard Chant is my favorite perfumer
I can understand why… what gems he created, including my mother’s signature scent, Halston! 💚
@@savorsalvagescent2300 Aramis,Aramis 900, Aramis Devin, Aromatics elixir, Cabochard, Azuree,JHL. All classics you have great taste
i’m so glad you did a video about Gres. I love cabochard. I purchased it last year after learning about its similarity to piguet’s bandit, which is an absolute favorite of mine. I tried a cabotine flanker called Rosalie which was a like but not a love. There are some other cabotine flankers on my list but some seem to be hard to find, at least in the US.
Hi, friend! Hope you are keeping well. Thanks for your kind post. I’m intrigued by some of the Cabotine flankers, too. I was also looking at “Madame Gres” yesterday.
Your post also reminds me that I need to try more Piguet scents! The bottles alone, so beautiful...
@@savorsalvagescent2300 hope you are well too, and yes the piguet bottles are really gorgeous! i would love to see a video on more gres perfumes if you end up getting some in the future. :)
i am so happy you put this up!!! :)
I just added Cabochard (2019) and it is my very first chypre fragrance in my wardrobe... and i LOVE it...
i want to try Cabochard Cherie (2019), even though it does not have the most positive of reviews...
i originally wanted to get the classic Cabochard like you have but decided on the newer version because it was on clearance price :D
Paola, I am so excited to read that the newer Cabochard is a love for you!! I need to get it, the bottle is sooo pretty. Cherie sounds GREAT to me!
Im a vintage nerd and just started searching for perfume, what i love about older scents , beside the insane low price🤪, is that all perfumes were pretty much considered unisex up until 1960, so you got stuff like cabochard and tabu from 1932 thats clearly unisex, tabu although marketed to women is just from reading about it, a true masculine but sweet spicebomb, and cabochard seems the same when you read the notes, plus i love the bottle! Sooo elegant 😍😍😍
Hello, friend, and thank you for your post! Agree with all of your intel. I think vintage scents were often more risk-taking + gender-bending. My dad’s beloved Old Spice was super carnation-heavy, for instance. I believe mom’s signature scent, Halston, today would be considered masculin.
@@savorsalvagescent2300 right? I find them more original , much like niche stuff today, that many times is unisex!
Layering. Cabochard with Halston original is an amazing experience.
Just bought Cabotine the Lalique version after 30 mins this is an amazing fragrance for its cost it puts many fragrances to shame!
Floral + transparent + aquatic + soft ginger
Oooh I must try that layering combo. Halston was my mom’s signature scent. 💛 Isn’t Cabotine gorgeous?
@@savorsalvagescent2300
Well it's been bugging me have smelled this before and am surprised to find comparing both that Versace The Dreamer is very very similar comparing them now they both have lily notes ! worth trying if you like Cabotine .
@@blishstern2769 I do not find them super similar but love them both! I find The Dreamer to be lavender-tonka and Cabotine to be green, green, and then some green! ;)
@@savorsalvagescent2300
I think Cabotine has to be the replacement for the unfortunate reformulated Dreamer !
Still catching up on all your amazing videos that hold so much interest for me and bring me great perfume obsessed joy!
I’m such a fan, Richard, and learn so much from you! Thanks for your kindness + encouragement. Has been a particularly challenging week (year?), and this was so nice to read at the end of it.
I remember the green bottle. My younger aunt had it a long with exclamation mark and Nude. If I remember correctly, it smelled fruity? (Early 90's). I've been considering purchasing them because I'm a sucker for nostalgic scents.
Hello, Seba, and thanks so much for your kind + interesting post. Exclamation .+ Nude were both wonderful + popular perfumes. I remember them, too. It’s fun to find things that spark memories from our time of growing up! Best to you.
Cabochard, Schiaparelli, and Chanel 19 - despite what younger ladies might say - make a difference- for me. So, so, good.....
It's so funny and silly how we call them the nose hehe he, I picture a giant nose with legs
Halston is my fav fragrance and I also love Cabotine. Now that I discovered that Bernard Chant was the nose behind Halston, the natural course is for me to try Bernard’s Cabochard, the “big sister” of Cabotine! Something tells me it will be a great match for me. 😎❤️
It’s so funny that you made this particular video. The other day I was in TJ Maxx debating picking up Cabotine and I was going to text you to get your opinion. I looked up the notes and saw that it had freesia in it and assumed you would t have liked it. 😂
I just saw this!! The freesia thing just made me cringe... LOL. Maybe the other notes overrule it?? If I had to guess I think you would like Cabochard but not Cabotine (because it can go powdery). But if you have tried or try either, I would love to know!
@@savorsalvagescent2300 I haven’t tried either... I need to just not look at fragrances when I go to TJ Maxx for a while. 😂
@@autumnmoore08 same! I’m avoiding that place right now because I have no control there!! 💛
Hello there, is the Cabotine you are reviewing the edt or the edp? The notes differ a lot. There's no black currant in the edt. The notes on Fragrantica refer to the edp. I have the edt and I love it. The edp is a fruit bomb whereas the edt is more floral and smells like hair spray. Thanks for the review
Hi! Not sure + not home to check, sorry!
@@savorsalvagescent2300 I see! Thank you so much for your kind reply
Cabochard is my all-time favorite fragrance. Where can I find it now ?
Great review! You’ve definitely peaked my interest with Cabochard, do you think Cabotine is unisex as well?
Interesting video, thank you!
My wife used Cabochard when I met her . And it was not cheap at all, then.
Sadly they stopped using selling it and years ago and now when I found they released it again I gave her a Cabochard EDT 100ml. as a present and she loved it like she did many years ago. EDT was not exactly the same, thought . Should I assume that the EDP version is close to the original?
Hi there + thanks for your post! I haven’t been able to try Cabochard since the reformulations, so I can’t say! Here’s something that might be helpful; www.fragrantica.com/board/viewtopic.php?id=192889
@@savorsalvagescent2300 Thanks for your kind response!!!
Good Morning Amy! Enjoy your videos so much! I look for your videos weekly :) I have had THESE fragrances on my mind for over a month now. ...maybe a sign I should just go for it! Do you suggest the parfume version or edt? Your energy is so positive :) Have a great Sunday!
I apologize for just seeing and responding to this lovely post. I have the EDTs of both. I hear the EDP of Cabochard is considerably stronger, so unless you know you love it, maybe start with EDT?
First of all those earrings are beautiful! Are they jade? Cabotine is one of my staple Spring florals, so beautiful. Cabochard I tried a sample & the leather note I can't do, smells like death on me lol. I so enjoy your videos ♥️
RuthAnne, thank you for the kind words about the earrings! I used to make part of my living making jewelry. They absolutely look like jade but are actually old (guessing 20s or 30s) cut Czech glass.
I think leather is a tough note for a fair amount of people. I love it but totally get why some people feel this way.. I am that was with oud and most “clean” and aquatic scents.
@@savorsalvagescent2300 I can't do oud either, not even the starter ours like Rhagbah
Hi Amy,
Great video, I had the tall bottle of Cabochard but I couldn’t get on with it, it was too sharp for me, also the ashtray nuance I didn’t like, I’ve since got the modern bottles of both EDT and EDP and are much more wearable,
Cabotine is so good, I’ve got Moonflower too, another one you should try to get. X
Thank you for this post! I hear that the older Cabochard smells ashy to some... I adore it and get leather. Honestly, I love how individual perfume can be. Thanks for pointing out the differences for you (older vs. newer formulations)...makes me think I should fetch a new bottle, too. I will look into Moonflower!
Hi Amy!! I had purchased both n...cabotine was beautiful! It is bright! ....However cabochard was rough..It smelt of an old cigarette ash on my skin :( I sprayed pink sugar on top lol to bring it up...n came out not pleasant. I adore your videos and will keep learning though!
Hi there! I have heard from a few people that this is how Cabochard smells on their skin! It is wild how different perfumes can smell to and on the skin of different people. I smell leaves + leather + oakmoss but I absolutely believe that others smell ash + cigarettes. Wild! Thanks again for your post!
Good morning... is cabochard an edt or edp?
I love this video. I've watched it 4 times as you've piqued my interest in these scents and others developed by Bernard Chant. I've found 100ml Cabotine for £10 and it's in my shopping basket; I've found 2019 versions of Cabochard but can't decide. Would you pick the edp or edt?
Hi there! So glad you enjoyed this-thank you for your kind post. OK, so I love both the Cabochard EDT + EDP, but if you are new to it I suggest the EDT... it is a little less oakmossy/leathery. I hope you will let me know what you think of it when you receive it.
@@savorsalvagescent2300 - Thanks for replying. I've placed my order and I also ordered Diva by Ungaro; I can't wait for delivery.
Enjoy your day 💕
@@savorsalvagescent2300 - I've been enjoying my new purchases and can't believe how good they are! I was lucky enough to find a cheap vintage bottle of Jaipur by Boucheron and it's awesome.
Thank you for introducing me to these beauties 👏
@@kathywitter6076 I am so delighted to read this! I think Boucheron is an incredible but unsung house. Hope you have a restful Memorial Day if you are in the US.
great review! I bought the new version of cabochard released in 2019, I wonder if its the same as the one in the old bottle? Its also a steal at just $25 dollars online.
That is such a steal and I love the new bottle! I have not been able to try to newer formulation but a good friend says it is close to the old formula but a little milder/more wearable. Thanks so much for your interesting post!
All Grès perfumes are amazing, but my favourite is Madame Grès. Did you try it?
No but I am dying to try it! Thx for your post + hope you are well.
@@savorsalvagescent2300 thank you, stay safe and make more beautiful videos :) kisses from Romania!
Hello! Great video :)
I recently bought Halston perfume and to be honest the smokey dry down i don’t really like. I put the perfume on my wrist and i couldn’t sleep all night due to the heavy smoke scent 😢
May I ask if the dry down of Cabochard is the same ?
Hi there + thank you for your post. Tastes are so individual, it is hard to know exactly what comes off as smoky to you in Halston but my guess is that it could be the oakmoss, vétiver, or even the marigold (mure bitter than smoky). Both scents are oakmoss-y (Cabochard is basically that + leather), so I doubt Cabochard would be a safe blind buy for you. What are a few or your favorite scents?
@@SH13.9. i am so fascinated by your posts! I was thinking maybe you didn’t like vintage scents but clearly that’s wrong! I wonder if it is the oakmoss in Halston that you don’t like, or the marigold. Have you ever smelled Byredo’s Bal d’Afrique? That has a strong marigold note…
@@savorsalvagescent2300 I have absolutely no idea! I have tried Bal D’Afrique and found it pleasant but nothing mind blowing! What scares me most is the tobacco note in Cabochard and frankly that is the only thing keeping me from purchasing it and the comments on fragrantica saying it smells like an Ashtray which is just a no no for me!
@@SH13.9. it does smell ash-y. Meanwhile I love it. This perfume thing is so funny.
I’ve never tried either; I’m not a big fan of chypres, or aldehydes, and I’ve heard there’s something like the smell of an ashtray in Cabochard...eek! It’s also compared to Bandit, which I tried once (briefly) and didn’t care for. Green scents are also not something I typically like, so I’ve never tried Cabotine either. I want to like green fragrances, but I really struggled with them for some reason.
Hi!! These two are in fact chypres, at least one is very aldehydic, and both are very green to me, so they definitely do not sound like your cup of tea! I do hear that the oakmoss in Cabochard can smell like ash to some... I get beautiful leather! I am cracking up at your “eek!” This is how I feel about most oud and many “clean” scents. Thanks for your post!
@@savorsalvagescent2300 most clean scents are a big no for me too. My feelings on oud can vary widely, sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it. It really depends on the profile and what it’s combined with. I don’t think I’d like either of these, but scents that are polarizing, like the reviews lead me to think these are, intrigue me. I really wish I could get on with more scents than I do, but I’m not there yet...maybe one day. I do try to test things on occasion that don’t fit my typical taste, it usually doesn’t go well lol. On the bright side, it helps save some money😆
@@mrspress8057 I totally get it! While I’m happy to like a wide variety of scents I’m actually relieved when I don’t like some... !!! We’re not supposed to love everything snd of course skin chemistry and even scent memory play a part. I am with you... often when I might not love a perfume I still might totally respect what it is!
I receive more compliments on cabotine then any other scent. I love it! Cabotine Gold is lovely as well! The other fragrance that should get more love is Coriandre by Jean Couturier.
YAY for Cabotine + Coriandre!!! 💚
I’ve heard Cabotine gold is wonderful.
Yea Cabochard is a MASCULINE scent profile. No two ways about it. I have both Cabochard and Aramis by Aramis. Bernard Chant used Cabochard as the inspiration for Aramis in 1966. And Aramis is one of the most masculine scent profiles ever. Cabochard isn't far off that.
Aldehydes, from my experience with Aldehydic bombs like Pikovaya Dama by Xerjoff, is very astringently clean, like an industrial strength cleaner being pumped into your nostrils. Too abrasive and astringent for me when amped up to 11 O'clock. In smaller, judicious amounts it can provide a clean bright lift to a composition.
have all of them Volumn so low. Just left.
Good choise of fragrances to review. Too bad it takes you a full 12 minutes to actually discuss in any way, what the fragrance in question actually smells like. I get the background story and chypre discussion and all, but it gets kinda boring to watch all that rambling without you ever getting to the actual review. When you finally did, the video was good and informative!
Lol!!! Happy weekend to you.
@@savorsalvagescent2300 Nevermind that post. The rest of us love the time you take.
@@MontagZoso thank you for your kindness!!
So pull up your big-girl panties and fast-forward to that part. I'm sure you can figure it out. Maybe.
