Cavale by Faberge: launched in 1975. Cavale, a poetic name for a mare in French. The name was trademarked in 1977, and Faberge claimed its use started in 1975.
Partage and Cavale were two high-priced women's fragrances brought in from Faberge's French subsidiary (Parfums Faberge, Inc). These perfumes were not relegated to drug stores like their previous fragrances, but were sold only in department stores.
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a floral chypre fragrance for women. Cavale captures the freshness of French field flowers, crisped with tangy top notes of lemon and orange bigarade, delicate touches of herbs and spices, underscored with the alluring warmth of cypress, Indian patchouli and Yugoslavian oakmoss, deepened with animal notes.
