Gres Parfums Cabochard Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray

Gres Parfums Cabochard Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray is a chic, leather chypre for women from the historic French house Madame Grès. First launched in 1959 and reinterpreted in 2019, it pairs aldehydes, sage and bergamot with a heart of ylang-ylang, rose and jasmine over a classic base of oakmoss, leather, patchouli and sandalwood.

About Madame Grès

Madame Grès was a celebrated French haute-couture house founded in 1942 by sculptural-designer Madame Alix Grès. Renowned for its draped Grecian-style gowns, the maison ventured into perfumery in 1959 with Cabochard — meaning "stubborn" in French — a strikingly modern fragrance that helped define the chypre-leather style for generations.

Fragrance notes

• Top: aldehydes, sage, bergamot
• Heart: ylang-ylang, rose, jasmine
• Base: oakmoss, leather, patchouli, sandalwood
• Family: chypre leather
• Mood: chic, confident, classically Parisian

Who it's for

Best for women who love classical chypre-leather perfumes and want a vintage-feel signature with a confident edge — ideal for evening wear, autumn and winter, and a great choice for fans of stylish, slightly retro French perfumery.

How to wear it

1. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck and behind the ears — after moisturising.
2. Allow the fragrance to dry naturally rather than rubbing it in.
3. Apply sparingly: a small amount carries far on this composition.
4. Layer with an unscented body lotion to soften and extend wear.
