by Grès
Caline by Grès is a bright, fresh, and sweetly gourmand floral with a green citrus opening that evokes ripe green apple, grapefruit, and ivy. The heart aligns with light, airy florals like jasmine, lotus, and mimosa, balanced by a creamy praline and vanilla base that adds depth and warmth. The scent develops quickly into a soft, slightly sweet, and underlaid gourmand profile with a faintly comforting praline note that lingers. It is a wearable, feminine scent that feels casual and refreshing—ideal for spring and summer days—though some find it too green or sharp on skin, especially at the top. Many note its early tartness, which mellow into a smooth, sweet, and subtly praline-sweet dry-down. The performance is moderate with decent longevity, especially for a light fragrance; some users report up to ten hours of wear, though others find it fades quicker. The sillage is moderate and intimate, making it best for close-proximity wear or warm-weather days.
