The year 2009 gave us Cabotine Aquarelle Parfums Grès Paris. A feminine fragrance from the fruit, floral, and water families. The nose behind this fragrance — Sidonie Lancesseur. Part of the Cabotine collection, available as eau de toilette.
Expect a noticeable sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. It's a light presence — longevity is low, perfect for those who love something airy. Country of origin — France, and that already says something about the quality. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Cabotine Aquarelle evolves as an expressive line of development, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of Parfums Grès Paris is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Whiteflower. The framework further includes Ambery, Wood, Aquatic and Musk.
In the first seconds you detect radiant lemon-bergamot first notes: Grapefruit, Peach Blossom and Pineapple.
At the core of development you detect Jasmine, Lily, Lotus and ylang-ylang carrying a silky white floral direction.
The accord architecture is built around these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Wood, Amber and Marine add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence Low suggests confident staying power.
Overall Cabotine Aquarelle sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail.
