Cabotine Grès 1990 Eau de Parfum

Opens soapy, I can’t detect notes of tart citrus- maybe just the peel. Then, there is an unusual, unidentifiable floral middle - at once musky, green without being fresh, bready (maybe the tuberose?), very slightly plummy. It makes me visualize sun warmed leaves, flowers heated by summer and beginning to wilt, and an impression of moistness like a jungle. It’s a strongly heady scent while having very light sillage.

Not for me, I like the bitterness of galbanum in my green florals like in Vent Vert, but an entry into the artificial rainforest category of perfumes. Makes me think of Eden or Synthetic Nature.
