Not For the Hillary Duff Crowd,
Cabochard is not for young girls or those without a developed nose for perfumes. It’s designed for women who prefer the rich and complex. If I could afford to bathe in this, I would. The modern version of this is a cousin to the original, but still far and above most of what is currently is on the market. No Floriental celebrity perfumes in this bottle!
From Perfume Intelligence:
The 1958 Version: a feminine leather chypre parfum with top notes of clary sage, tarragon and galbanum with heart notes of jasmine, ginger lily, rose and ylang-ylang; base notes of oak moss, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli, and classified D7f.
The 2000 version: Re-orchestrated with notes of bergamot, mandarin, galbanum, ylang-ylang, jasmine, Bulgarian rose, clove, oakmoss, tobacco, musk, iris, sandalwood, vetiver, leather, castoreum, patchouli and labdanum.

|Subtle & sexy,
Being new to wearing perfume, having used essential oils instead (love myrrh, frankincense, vetiver, bergamont, cedar) – I was looking for a complex, subtle scent. My mother used Channel no5 which I liked but I wanted something more….. I did alot of research & visited several dept stores -literally smelled EVERY scent they had – which would include most of the popular stuff out there. EVERY thing was so sweet & flowery & overpowering, (ie this includes Black Orchid). So, did some work online and found the leather chypre scents… of course, these are nearly impossible to find…. so I took a chance & orderd both Cabochard & Bandit online & love them both! Your body chemistry does have to flow w/ these scents and they do not last all day. I use the Cabochard for workday & Bandit for everything else. No problems w/ my allergies. I work in an environment where perfumes can be problematic but have absolutely no problems wearing either to work. I also use Cabaret (by Gres) for a lighter, spring/summer scent.
