Christine Nagel's Cabriole by Hermès, launched in 2022, is a floral fragrance that balances the sweetness of honeysuckle with the earthy warmth of sandalwood and the delicate nuances of osmanthus. This composition opens with a bright burst of honeysuckle before transitioning into the soft, powdery notes of osmanthus. The base note of sandalwood adds depth and comfort, grounding the scent in a subtle, warm embrace.

Application Tips
One spritz is enough to capture the essence of Cabriole. The honeysuckle top note fades quickly, but the powdery osmanthus and warm sandalwood base linger on skin for hours. It's best suited for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet elegant scent.
