TLDR: A nice warm, dry chypre for the price! Unisex and layers well with other fragrances.
I recently purchased the EDP expecting it to be a nice leather fragrance. I get no leather at all, though I don’t know if it’s because the current formulation is without or if I am just spoiled to Tuscan Leather. I’m keeping it anyway because frankly I’m addicted at this point 🙂
The first spritz is sharply green and dry. Not so sharp as Bandit, I think the tobacco leaf and patchouli soften it up a lot comparatively. The dry down remains green but in a mossy, warm way. It becomes powdery to me, with the patchouli and tobacco still at the forefront, a subtle musk, and the tiniest hint of sandalwood. It’s all very earthy and clean; I get no discernible florals really. It seems to have nice silage and the longevity is about average.
All said, this is probably not for everyone, and you should pass it up if you’re looking for a leather fragrance. However if you’re interested in a nice warm chypre, this is certainly worth trying.

I was recommended this as a leather fragrance but the new version oh no. Schreechy herbal green with patchoulli/ amber/musk base. I found this jarring and intense with sharp galbanum top notes soaring over a dirty patch musk base. And no heart notes to blend the two. The notes say alot of spices and florals like jasmine, rose, Orris but I didn’t notice any. On the other hand, if it works for your chemistry it has mega silage. Fairly long lasting, around 3 hours. Overall, I did not feel the notes hung together or reflected the mood of the official description:
“Inspired by a sunrise walk along the wild beaches of India. With the sharp freshness of the early morning air, the warmth of sandalwood and flowers brought in on a gentle sea breeze. Green, fresh, herbal, citrus, tobacco and leather.”
Top Notes – Tarragon, Hesperides, Mandarin, Clary Sage, Cardamom, Galbanum
Heart Notes – Rose, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Orris, Geranium, Ionone
Base notes – Oakmoss, Vetiver, Musk, Patchouli, Leather, Amber, Castoreum, Sandalwood

New version (2017). Really disappointed. The edp is a bit greeny. Can hardly smell anything really. Cheap to buy yes. Thats the only up side.

Cabochard is so many things – green, leathery, woody, floral, indolic… It begins with a definitive juicy-green character, like frsehly squeezed wheatgrass; yet there is something ashy and dry underneath. The health-concious wheatgrass juicer is also a chain smoker. The nicotine in her veins brings the best of her – creativity, energy, laughter. It’s balanced again with some medicinal sage, and pretty, clean and proper neroli and enough rose to make you think of a rose garden but not smell like an English lady. Orange blossom and jasmine make advances as the perfume develops on the skin. These two bold notes, while indolic and dirty, also have a zest of life to them, a very forward personality, with the methyl anthranilate shining through beautifully and bringing some sweetness into the green. They are only ever so slightly soft-focused with powdery orris note. As for the base – it’s what you’ve always dreamed of: oakmoss, tobacco and vetiver, with some isobutyl quinoline for good measure.
Cabochard to me seems to have predicted the future of the 1970’s – No. 19, especially, to whom it is a very close relative with the same motifs of leather, greens, juicy citrus notes, iris, leather and vetiver; interplay between green, dry and floral-powdery. As well as everything that followed, dominated by green, herbaceous and soapy notes. The leading scents in this trend were No. 19, Ivoire, Estée Lauder’s Azurée (by perfumer Bernard Chant), Alliage and Private Collection; Coriandre, Calandre, Chamade, 1000, AnaisAnais, and Aromatics Elixir (also designed by Bernard Chant), and of course Rive Gauche. I’m glad I found out who is the perfumer behind it (though I’m certain that Guy Robert’s Chouda was magnificent!) and see the connections with his other creations.
Top notes: Sage, Rose, Neroli
Heart notes: Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Orris
Base notes: Vetiver, Leather, Oakmoss, Tobacco

Awesome! I am so glad to have this site! I have researched all the perfumes I have loved in the past and it gives me confidence going forth in my purchases. Thank you….
Cabochard is ANOTHER blind buy that is tailor made for me. In fact the GRES company is tailor made for me. I have Cabotine and it is lovely and one of my perfume personalities. But Cabochard is my favorite personality tough, passionate and deep.
In closing, I highly recommend this to ladies 30 and up. It is smoky, powdery, sexy and nothing like the modern fragrances out today.
One more thing, try Overstock.com for this fragrance.
Happy Perfuming!

This is for the current EDP. Starts out brisk, green, herbal & somewhat smoky, then goes straight to a pleasant, creamy but dry amber with a hint of leather. Reminds me a bit of Miss Dior EDT (’90s formulation), plus cigarette smoke & minus the powder & oakmoss. The lack of oakmoss makes it not terribly exciting but easy enough for daily wear (I find it quite refreshing in warm weather), which, I suppose, accounts for its popularity & why it’s rarely available, even at online discounters. On me, sillage is low after about 30 minutes, but longevity is very impressive (lasting practically the whole day & still going strong on my wrists even after a shower — which is rare for a chypre of this type & a clear indication of its quality). I wasn’t fond of this one at first, but it’s really starting to grow on me. Can’t personally speak for the EDT as I have never bought/tested it, but based on the reviews I’ve read on Fragrantica, it seems like a different animal entirely… heavier, darker & much more complex, with prominent cigarette smoke & leather — the night time counterpart to the EDP.

I love discovering classic fragrances lurking in drugstore aisles and tend to prefer vintage perfume styles over a lot of modern fragrance releases, so I enthusiastically bought Cabochard blind. I’m not scared of strong fragrances (I adore Tabu) and I appreciate the chypre genre (my favourite one to date being Aromatics Elixir), but Cabochard simply does not work well on me.
The gorgeous, almost sparkling green herbal notes wear off quite quickly on me and I am left with an unrelenting and very flat leather tobacco scent that simply reads as glum and stuffy. It’s a shame, because Cabochard lasts amazingly well for an EDT, does smell classy and wonderfully vintage, but I just don’t enjoy the endless leather tobacco aura (and I’m an ex-smoker, so go figure). Just for the record, I also didn’t love the more modern Cabotine by Gres, so perhaps this perfume house and I simply don’t gel.
Worth a try for chypre lovers but wouldn’t recommend buying blind.

A slap in the face with an old dusty glove smudged in alcohol after wiping a spilled drink off a century-old rug stretched over a loooooooooong hall of a victorian villa in north London. A cream-coloured blouse with manly cufflinks with onyx, a vintage “doctor” bag carelessly thrown next to the sofa, cloudy skies foretelling an evening of burning the midnight oil at a cherrytree desk on a suede-upholstered chair. Green banker lamps, rain starting to spit onto the newly washed windows, a forgotten cigarette smoking itself
in suspense in a marble ashtray… This is what a vintage bottle breathes into my mind. What I got today in Galeria Kaufhoff from a 30 ml EDT bottle reduced to 10 EUR was a fake leather belt blitz-wrapped around my neck and pulled hard until i saw the world spinning… This was a cocktail of death I wouldn’t even serve to my worst enemy. Burnt rubber, the worst kind of faux leather, stain remover from the 70s spilled on top of all that and put on a slow fire. I could not stress enough how revolting that felt. Try it on an empty stomach and with sniffing salts at reach! Would I buy this product ( forget the “again” here )? – ” no way in hell” is the button I am looking for here…

This was a blind buy for me because the price was reduced so low for such a large bottle of Paris made fragrance. I usually cannot go wrong with a fragrance made in France. I brought it home and read all the reviews before I opened it as you cannot return it after it is open to this store. The reviews and fragrance notes sounded good to me. I opened it with great expectations. That first spray was very nice. Sort of reminded me of several of my favorite scents all rolled into one. A bit like Shalimar, Youth Dew, Cinnabar, maybe a touch of tuberose too. I liked it very much actually. I have to take away one star for the end of this fragrance though. The end, the very end, you know the smell left over in your skin, can’t really smell the perfume notes any longer just dry left overs. Well this ending smell turned me off. I do like this fragrance but this in one I would have to make sure I showered off after wearing so it loses a point in my book. For the price and such a large bottle, it is a good buy, but I will not need to buy another bottle for the rest of my life. 😉

I started to use this fragrance at the age of 18.I have used it over 25 years.
I’m searching for it in many Parfumeries and at the internet,without any succes.
I would like to buy and use it again.
