Cabochard by Grès
Discover Cabochard, an iconic chypre fragrance for women by Grès, first introduced in 1959.
Crafted by perfumer Bernard Chant, it embodies timeless sophistication with notes of citrus, leather, and oakmoss.
Cabochard by Grès is a classic fragrance with a rich history that dates back to its release in 1959. Created by renowned perfumer Bernard Chant, it was inspired by the bold and adventurous spirit of Madame Grès, the fashion designer behind the Grès brand. The perfume was developed after her trip to India, where she found inspiration in the culture, elegance, and opulence she encountered. Cabochard, which means “stubborn” or “headstrong” in French, reflects this spirit of independence and resilience, making it a fitting name for a fragrance that has stood the test of time.
Cabochard is a chypre floral fragrance, a category known for its blend of citrus, floral, and woody notes. It opens with a fresh burst of aldehydes, citrus, and spices, giving way to a heart of ylang-ylang, jasmine, and geranium. The scent deepens into a rich base of oakmoss, vetiver, leather, and patchouli. This combination creates a sophisticated and slightly smoky aroma that evokes a sense of mystery and timeless elegance. The leather and oakmoss notes in particular lend a sense of depth and warmth, while the floral elements keep it balanced and feminine.
The perfume’s bottle design also reflects its classic appeal, with clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic that allows the focus to remain on the scent itself. Over the years, Cabochard has maintained a loyal following among those who appreciate its refined and assertive character. It is often seen as a fragrance for those who value tradition, yet it remains accessible to new generations who are drawn to its unique blend of complexity and elegance.
Cabochard’s legacy is further enriched by its place within the Grès brand, known for its haute couture roots and contributions to the world of fashion. As one of the signature fragrances of the brand, Cabochard continues to embody the daring spirit of Madame Grès, offering a scent that is as captivating as it is enduring.
