The Design 

The bottle with a bow: 
elegantly modern Cabochard

The cap with a "G":
unmistakably Grès 

 

A reinterpretation of the sophisticated original velvet version of the world-famous Cabochard bow is also the distinctive trademark of Ambre de Cabochard. Successfully updating traditional visual elements, renowned Parisian designer Fabrice Legros has innovatively transposed the sensuality, warmth and elegance of Ambre de Cabochard into an attractive contemporary bottle and packaging.

At once modern and timeless, the square bottle of high-quality glass reveals unexpected feminine curves from the side, which lend an alluring softness to the otherwise restrained lines.

The eye is drawn immediately to the silver Cabochard bow that elegantly encircles the bottle’s neck – a visual gem that symbolizes traditional values, accentuated femininity and elegance. Also striking is the G on the transparent stopper, the mark of Parfums Grès and its history of success.                    

Equally glamorous, the packaging with its arresting color combination is also a compelling visual expression of Ambre de Cabochard. Warm golden yellow dominates on first impact, yielding to a dramatic interplay of contrasts with elegant black.
