Frangipani sits in the drydown of Gres Cabotine Rose Perfume, where you would normally expect a wood, while cherry blossom, pear, mandarin orange and black currant lead the top soft and fruited, delicate rather than juicy. Rose, peony, mimosa, pepper, lily, tuberose, jasmine and orange blossom form a core with rose at the centre and seven flowers arranged around it. Frangipani, musk, sandalwood and vetiver close it creamy and tropical, the frangipani keeping a floral thread alive long after the core has faded.
Putting a flower in the drydown is what gives this its unusually long floral life, and it is why the rose never entirely disappears. Cabotine Rose Perfume is a floral Eau de Toilette, best suited to soft, feminine daytime occasions. Comfortable, dependable and unmistakably Gres, Cabotine Rose Perfume wears exactly as promised.
