Cabochard is perhaps the most known fragrance from Parfums Grès. First released in 1959, it was inspired by the house matriarch Madame Grès’ trip to India, and is said to remind her of the walks by the shore she took while she was there. Its fragrance notes include aldehydes, sage, tarragon, orris root, rose, geranium, jasmine, ylang ylang, amber, coconut, oakmoss, leather, patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood. The original fragrance was created by Bernard Chant and has inspired a batch of flankers released in later decades.
