It's just like me ....
It all started with the test of Tendre Poison, which I didn't know yet, but which I was very interested in because of the descriptions here.

After I was lucky enough to receive a sample of this (thanks again!), I was immediately very taken with him and searched for the so often quoted fragrance twin Cabotine. The question arose whether the EdT or the EdP was the better choice. For this decision a report on the website "Fragrantica" helped me very well, there the distinction is really well described and I have decided for the EdP.

And it was a direct hit! The fragrance starts immediately as an opulent bouquet of flowers with a very special, unmistakable note, which it retains throughout the entire length of the stay. In the course of time it takes itself back a little and develops somewhat darker and softer, it never becomes cute or cuddly, however, but it always remains unsweet and a little bitter. It is not loud or shrill, but always pleasantly discreet. According to the description this should also be a considerable difference to the EdT. While the EdT is described as an explosion, the EdP is described as an "experience of flowers and green notes". The heat increases even more over time, the intensity decreases. Supposedly the EdT should have a longer durability than the EdP, which is rather unusual. I can't judge these differences because I don't know the EdT. The durability of the EdP is indeed not quite so great with me, after 6 hours only a breath is perceptible on the skin, it must therefore be replenished a little.

Elsewhere the fragrance has been described as "present". That's very good for me. I like this unique scent full of flowers on a base of darker woods, without being able to name them all individually. It is for me a really great composition, which carries all characteristics in itself, which a smell should have for me.

Cabotine EdP is for me a perfect companion for every season, whether for office or leisure, with it I always feel "properly dressed".

The long way back!

Cabotine came onto the market when many users here weren't even born yet. 34 years ago! I'm delighted that it's still around and has hardly been changed. Reformulation and all. You know what I mean. I love such green things, especially when spring is approaching. Then my Orientals go on a hike. They go to the back of the shelf. But it's still February, so they're waiting in the wings for now. From March onwards, things will get serious and the chypres will also make a move, namely to the front. Movement has never done any fragrance any harm.
Oh well, what's 34 years? Time marches on and at some point you realize that it is marching over your face. You can also recognize the beginning of the aging process when you still have the imprints of the pillow on your cheeks at noon. Even a cucumber mask won't help. I wouldn't recommend Botox, because then you might not be able to close your mouth again.
So, now to Cabotine. Fancy a bit of fantasy? Fantasy has never done anyone any harm.
At the edge of a forest clearing, the forest spirits Husch and Wusch are sitting on a fallen tree. They observe the surroundings and everything that creeps, flies, blooms, smells, rattles and rattles.
Husch : " Look over there by the stream! There she is, the green water nymph Splash. I'm thrilled!"
Wusch: "Yes, it smells all the way over here again, green, herbaceous, berry. I would really like to ghost around there."
The elf Flora flutters over the two of them and over the forest meadow at Mach 3 (approx. 3700 kmh), waving her magic wand. She mumbles to herself, drunk on dew, and gives the two tots on the tree trunk a grim look and calls out: "What are you doing here at this time of night? Isn't it ghost time at night?" It goes plop, spring flowers bloom, plop, summer flowers, plop exotic flowers.
Flora dusts everything with iris powder. Unsweet and jagged. The lawn glistens emerald green.
Wusch (dazed): "I think I've swallowed spiritual drinks. This orgy of flowers. I'm getting all dizzy."
Husch rolls his eyes as if he's been smoking something and musk animals and vanilla balls fly past in his mind's eye.
They are abruptly torn from their dreams. The Grinch is crouching on a dilapidated high seat and throwing cedar needles and sandalwood shavings. He shrieks: "This is not Tendre Poison!"
The two ghosts look completely dumbfounded and then shout in unison :" We know that, but it's the older sister. She's a bit more tomboyish and not so tendre. You green arm candy up there, go annoy Santa Claus or we'll blow vetiver up your butt until green angels fly out of your ass!"
Want to know where this clearing is? Then take a sniff of Cabotine!

Flower Grinch in a class of its own!
The floral grin on the bright, cheeky face. A crown of leaves on the angular head. The "doublet" in hunter green, flowered trousers underneath and wooden shoes on "gnarled" feet. Yes, he wears a stole woven from green herbs around his shoulders!
A Grinch who can also be elfish and woodland ratty. Neither male nor female, a changeable "it" in the best sense of the word.
And all the things that romp about! A whole garden year, from early spring through summer and into fall, right into a mild, damp winter. "Ice" and "snow" are few and far between, but there is sometimes a very cool breeze. Just as it sometimes blows on changeable April days, making you shiver.
And it is "purely vegan" in terms of today's requirements... no "animal" smells far and wide. There's just a full load of flowers, ranging from early-flowering hyacinths to summer carnations and autumn roses. And fruits that ripen in farm gardens, orchards and forest edges.
Spices? Here you go: Coriander, thyme and probably basil too. Artfully interwoven: Lush woods, leafy greens and grasses. A strong mixture that delights the nose and the mind! Typical GRÈS!

!! DUFTE !!
Encouraged by the comments of my fellow noses I made a blind purchase, and in fact: It smells exactly like "Tender Poison" by Dior. The bottle has a cuddly grip and looks great in my green-pink bathroom. EUR 30 more than sensibly invested - freu freu!

Sea of white flower for little money
Cheap fun with a 90s feel. What do I mean by that exactly? Hard to say. For a few years now, I've noticed that heavier and heavier fragrances (that's purely subjective again, of course) are popular and heavily hyped.
Cabotine, on the other hand, is quiet and reminds me in a good way of times gone by - but without seeming old-fashioned.
The fragrance was an absolute blind buy, I mean 10€ for 100ml, what can you do wrong? At first glance I thought the cap was supposed to be broccoli, but no, it's flowers....
So my expectation was a light and floral scent. The first spray made me cringe briefly: acrid and not exactly what I want to wear on my skin. But after a few minutes, green notes evolved into a bouquet of white flowers. And that's exactly how it stays. Unfortunately, I can't make out the base notes mentioned here, but that doesn't matter. It simply remains pleasantly unagitated.
