The fragrance inspiration and creation are based on a love story between Cabotine de Grès and the Ginger Lily flower: the two names are inseparable. Native to the Himalayas, Ginger Lily is best known as the flower used in stunning Hawaiian Lei garlands.
After almost 30 years on the market, the fragrance still contains this remarkable flower with its dreamlike, feminine quality.
Je suis comme je suis.
Innocence is her greatest role, but she is not always playing a part. It’s no surprise that the Cabotine woman wears the perfume of Paradise, based on notes of Ginger Lily, a flower from the peaks of the Himalayas, worn by Vahine hula-dancing girls, lending their femininity a dreamy Eden-like air. Cabotine adorns her skin with floral accents, leaving a newfound belief in candour and purity in her wake.
The fragrance opens on a surprising whirlwind of mandarin, ginger and ylang-ylang as a prelude to the outburst of a unique floral accord. In the heart note, tuberose’s and hyacinth’s sensuous corollas mingle with ginger lily. This floral symphony lies on a drydown blending patchouli, sandalwood, musk and blackcurrant.

Cabotine originally means actress… a woman with multiple facets. A young girl or a woman? Cabotine is both. Energetic and lively on a day-to-day basis, yet glamorous from time to time, she loves playing an exquisitely elegant role.
Half innocent, half provocative, but always romantic, she is sensual, emotive, carefree and seductive in one: this is the Cabotine woman.
Delighting in every moment, she especially takes pleasure in never being quite where we expect her to be. A born actress, or one in the making, the starlet takes on every role with a refreshing vivacity and that rebellious spirit that some may find disconcerting. The very essence of Cabotine is its playfulness and its enchantingly delicate fragrances.
