The story is that this is a makeshift perfume made cheap and quick? Well…that’s not what it smells like.

Eerie, haunting and reminiscent of rainy summer days…in a city…Cabotine is…gorgeous. It’s cheap…but it doesn’t smell cheap. It smells…very of it’s time, the 1990’s, and yet it’s also timeless.

Sillage and longevity are decent. And it’s truly iconic.
