Galimard Etappe 5
The next women's fragrance from the tester pack. Well, what can I say. Very floral, sweet, not quite as sugary as Printemps Etoile, but still too much for me. Too much patchouli, vanilla, everything very feminine. It’s doable, it can be liked. At first, a bit fruitier, but it quickly moves into the base. The base stays close to the skin for quite a while, mainly vanilla and musk, but it doesn’t have great longevity or sillage. It doesn’t knock everyone out within a 10m radius. I think the fragrance composition is not bad at all, I just don’t like the scent direction. They can do something at Galimard, but Cantabelle doesn’t work for me.

Cantabelle

I received this fragrance as a perfume extract from Grasse, brought back by a dear colleague during a factory visit to Galimard.

There, it is categorized as "Oriental."

Here is an excerpt from the Galimard website:

Cantabelle
A cheerful and fruity composition, merging with the orange and blackcurrant to reveal an opulent heart of sun-kissed delicate flowers.
The concept is elevated by a warm and sensual base of precious woods. An ode to femininity, both classical and contemporary.
I would generally describe the scent as fruity-floral-sweet-slightly spicy.

At first, I perceive the fruity-floral components more distinctly; as it develops, patchouli becomes quite prominent, along with amber and vanilla, while the fruits recede a bit.

The longevity of the perfume extract is good. The scent is not overwhelming, yet present, as it has a sufficient but not excessive sillage despite a certain restraint.

I can imagine it being pleasant for almost any time of day and year - except during hot summer temperatures due to the certain sweetness, which is by no means exaggerated, but could potentially be bothersome in the summer.

If I were to compare Cantabelle to another (perhaps slightly more well-known) fragrance, I would say it leans a little towards "Coco Mademoiselle," and in the base, it actually reminds me of a toned-down "Midnight Poison." Still, it certainly has its own unique character. The comparison is just meant to provide a rough direction.

Overall, it's an interesting scent that not everyone knows and wears, versatile enough for various occasions, and surely noticeable without ever being intrusive.

I like it and hope the 10ml lasts for a while.

South French
Cantabelle begins sweet and fruity, and I also perceive a slightly peppermint-herbaceous note. Then it becomes floral-fruity, with an emphasis on "fruity," yet remains subtle. The base fades out with an amber-vanilla scent.

Cantabelle is not an overwhelming fragrance, but it is pretty; a scent whose advantages only reveal themselves after the second or third sniff. When the test vial was empty, I missed it, even though I initially thought, "well, pretty, but I don't need to have it." Maybe I do need to have it :-)

In the meantime, I know quite a few of the Galimard women's fragrances. I don't like them all, and not all that I like I like equally. But they all have a common denominator: a special Galimard style that expresses itself in the fact that the fragrances are pretty, non-committal, suitable for everyday use, and at the same time very South French and very individual.

It's like when you buy some clothing item on a whim while on vacation in South France and think, "this doesn't really need to happen, it's just a vacation whim." Back home, it becomes the absolute irreplaceable favorite piece of clothing that you can't imagine living without. That's how the Galimard fragrances potentially feel to me.

Unfortunately, the EdT is not very long-lasting. I haven't tried the EdP yet.

A lot of Coco Mademoiselle in the top notes, then the oriental-spicy patchouli takes over in the drydown. Pleasing and flattering.
