Cabochard (for women)

NebraskaLovesScent

Cabochard is such a warm, cozy, sexy scent. It practically screams, "Cuddle me!" It has a pronounced leather scent on my skin, and gradually dries down to a salty patchouli musk. I can detect just a whisper of fruits for the first few seconds after application, and none of the florals bloom for me, but that's just fine.

This is a beautiful classic chypre, more wearable than "Bandit" but in a similar vein. If "Bandit" is your nighttime scent, this sister scent would be a perfect daytime alternative. If you're a fruity floral lover, try Cabochard for your evenings and cooler weather. The EDT is an affordable classic that is worth a try for every woman.

I wish the EDT lasted longer--I got about 4 hours out of it--but I like the scent well enough that I'll seek out an EDP or Parfum next time.

Lovely!This type of scent is one of my favorite scents...not floral, not oriental, not sweet, not sharp, not really anything in particular...it just smells so unique. I Love it! And I also agree that fragrance is not really a masculine/feminine thing, I wear whatever I like, regardless of what someone else thinks it smells like. Perfume should be for you, not for someone else. Plus, to me the right way to use perfume is very lightly so that only you can really smell it...well, and anyone that you let get close enough!

Cabochard opens with a strong blast of a juicy notes that does not indicate the deep powdery comfort to come. Almost immediately the real Cabochard emerges; dry- dusty almost- musty, delicious. Not at all sweet but not overpoweringly leathery. (I also wear Bandit, so Cabochard seems very mild after that pungent funk!) I keep sneaking sniffs of it all day; it must look very suspect to onlookers, me suddenly sticking my nose down my blouse!
This is my current favorite perfume, along with Chanel Sycomore. In fact the two of them layered is stunning! I am thinking of trying the same add-some-vetiver-for-kicks trick with Geurlain Vetiver/Cabochard if I can't pick up more Sycomore soon.

I wore this chopping wood yesterday and it kept me calm and feeling like a goddess wielding my axe among scented clouds!

Beautiful, original, warm chypre. It is very natural, beacause in it nothing sintetic scent. When I have Cabochard on my skin, it is part of me as in jazzstandard: "I've got you under my skin"...Legendary, magnificiently smell.

I find it hard to name the notes in this one (not peeking at the list). In fact, I have trouble listing what Cabochard is. I can more easily say what it is not. It is definitely NOT A COOL AQUATIC, nor is it a typical FRUITY FLORAL. It's definitely not something that's currently being worn by a lot of people. It's not something that everyone will like, as not everyone likes darkness, muskiness, and water hyacinth-tuberose-y smells.

This is super leathery, dry and masculine on my skin ... but all I've tried is the EDT, need to try the parfum which I hear is very chic.
