I haven’t tried this one yet, but I adore Jolie Madame, and other leather classics. I am flabbergasted Balmain discontinued that work of art. Cabochard and Bandit are great, but a bit unisex. Air de Cabochard sounds like it has the girl with an edge complexity I love about Jolie Madame. Could Air de Cabochard be a good Jolie Madame replacement? Or should I just buy a bunch of Jolie Madame on Etsy and Ebay?

I always find it interesting when a sales person tells me that a perfume is “very popular.” THAT’S the perfume I stay away from!

The original Cabochard is just unique. Timeless. Did it really need a variant? I find it very confusing when one long-established, well-known and well-loved scent acquires numerous mutations. Makes searching for it much more difficult.
Why am I so grouchy today? Because my place is being painted and no matter what scent I put on, all I can smell is WET PAINT. Not a good time to test anything new!

It’s the lightest leather scent I’ve ever tried, which isn’t a bad thing. There are times when a heavy leather like Cabochard or Cuir de Lancome (my favorite leather, BTW) can become tiresome. While I really love Cuir, there have been times that I actually wished I hadn’t worn it, like when my boss crinkled up his nose when I walked into his office . But Air De Cabochard is an even mix of smooth florals and leather with a very classy, slightly soapy dry down. The notes here list spices, but they are barely noticeable and add just the perfect amount of depth. It lasts a quite a long time, too – about 4-5 hours and still faintly noticeable after even 8 hours.
I have a tiny sample that I used very sparingly so I didn’t think it was too strong. As usual, I find application is the key. I always try to go very sparingly with any new scent until I find the right level. Sometimes that means allowing only a dribble from the sprayer instead of a full blast, or doing the spritz in the air and walk through method.
I can see this being the perfect leather for summer as it has the classiness that a good leather scent has, along with the soapy cleanliness you want to smell on a warm day.
Can’t wait for my bottle!!

What I get from this is sugared tabacco. It is much sweeter than I imagened, but that’s what my skin does. For sunny days, I find it a bit to sweet, but I love to wear this on rainy days, and living in the Netherlands, I’m getting to wear this very often.

Air de Cabochard is for those who adore “Cabochard” but want something lighter for day – or summer!

It’s a bit too heavy for me,too leather-y but if I were a chypre fan I’d wear it for special occasions.Air de Cabochard is definately classy,but not for everybody.
