Delices De Cartier Eau de Parfum

It's been such a long time since I last wrote a review, I thought what's a better way to start winter with a review of this complicated yet so simple fragrance. I've had mixed feelings about this perfume since my parents got it for me. I wanted In black-Jesus del pozo but it was out and the salesman told them this is the closest thing to it so they got it. I really disliked it when i first had a sniff, fruity perfumes are not my cup of tea at all, and since all I smelled was this synthetic cherry note, as i recall saying "It's like that icky cherry on top that we all toss away". Now, I'm down to less than 25% of the perfume, so what happened that made me change my mind? It's winter, It's dark and I'm freezing, craving something warm yet fresh to get me out of the 'week before birthday blues' as i like to call it, a bottle of booze was what i wanted, by instinct, I felt like the icky cherry perfume will do and boy, my winter nights were forever changed. I started spraying this all over myself and the bed. It's no longer an icky cherry perfume, it's warm, fuzzy, boozy, comforting, fun and fresh. And it's all over the place. Let me start by saying that it stays on for probably 8 hours+ which is something that surprised me cause I thought it would be one of those one hour fragrances. Sillage is great it leaves a little trail when you walk....if you spray like 3-4 times, I get a lot of compliments whenever I wear it. A LOT. People just seem to love it and I do too. Now begins the real review; At first all you'll smell is cherries, not icky like I thought at first, but more like a handful of cherries that have been soaked in vodka for a while, a very boozy cherry note. Actually, it's one of the few times that I think I agree with the "top notes according to your votes" Boozy cherry is everywhere and consistant throughout its stay. I knew there was amber, you never guess wrong when Amber is present, along with the musk too, they are there on your skin when you spray it, after like 5 minutes of spraying of course. I always say that Musk is the anchor of perfumes and here, it's perfect, it's doing one hell of a job with the boozy cherries and the violet, making it not too powdery and not too cherry-sweet. I knew there were tonka beans instantly, nutty and perfect with the boozy cherry. Now, what's making this perfume fresh and green? Jasmine of course along with the pink pepper, bergamot and possibly the freesia (not sure if it's that detectable though). I didn't mention sandalwood in my review cause I always think of sandalwood plus musk plus amber as one entity when they're present in a perfume, you could tell each note differently and you know they are there but to me, they work magic together and make the perfume balanced, I don't know how though that's why it's magic ;) And like some perfumes, the dry down is amazing, truly captivating, amber, musk, sandalwood, violet and boozy cherry with a hint of jasmine and the tonka beans, I can't really describe how i truely feel about this perfume, I love it! Overall, It's an amazing perfume for winter nights and cold days. I don't feel like it suits summer that much even though it's fresh enough for that but well, on my skin anyway I feel like it's just a no no in summer. Great silliage and long lasting. Compliment magnet. Pretty bottle. Fun, fresh, comforting and somehow dangerous and alluring.

When the cherry-madness hit the perfume world couple of seasons back I was genuinely surprised when no one remembered or asked for reissue of the Delices de Cartier. For me, this is the best cherry fragrance composed in the 2000s. Combination of soft and sparkly bergamot, warm and spicy pink pepper layered as a chiffon scarf around the sweet and juicy cherry is nothing short of a genius. The cherry is not linear, not cloying sweet and not buried under the aggressive and heavy spices. It is allowed to be itself - juicy, alluring and delicious. With jasmine and freesia close behind (I do not feel violet much, I admit) the aroma becomes playful, feminine and uplifting. It is definitely sweet, but the type of sweet which is appealing and welcoming in its smoothness and restrained gourmand facets. Its fun! It's warm, sparkling and softer than most fruity-florals. I call it a demi-gourmand in the best sense of the word. It just skims on the crest of the wave, but never tips over to any side. The dry down is still rich in well-blended notes, but softer and more intimate. It becomes part of the skin. Think of the light chemise gliding over your body, visible and air-light. The staying power is good and the sillage is perfect whether you are wearing this composition in summer or in the fall. This is not a perfume for business meetings or restaurant dates. This is for when you want to shine, enjoy yourself and brighten up the world around you with your charisma and unrestrained Joie de Vivre. This is what the Delices de Cartier is all about - the joy of life, its beauty and exaltation of the moment.

I. Love. This! First let me start off by stating I am a sucker for green, floral, clean and watery scents such as M. Asam No 1, Bond's High Line, Stella, etc. This is nothing like anything I'm normally attracted to. It's a savory gourmand, cherries flambe with tonka liqueur and garnished with sugared violets...a sex bomb, a sillage monster. This smells completely - TOTALLY - different on my skin than on paper or from the bottle. From the bottle it's straight up cough syrup, cherry flavor. On paper it's not much different. On skin, it takes on several new dimensions. There is cherry and pepper in the opening for sure, and they both settle down nicely with violet and a little freesia for the middle. The day ends with just a faint cherry & violet peeking out through a warm, soft & spicy finish. This is truly a masterpiece - sexy, sophisticated, not too busy...each note is blended perfectly. Sillage is intense and the frag sticks around for at least 8 hours. What a winner. This will be my winter signature scent!

Oh My!!! Thousand times better than the EDT version I used to have. It is less bitter and more sweet. It does not induce any toothache - not at all!!! It is a sexy sweetness, cherries sprinkled with pink pepper and vanilla (although it is not even listed here, it might be tonka giving this sweet creamy feel!). So tasty and feminine, I just fancy drinking it straight from the bottle! It lasts all day without the need of reapplying. Delices is one of the kind, magical. It starts fresh and fruity, then a bit spicy and flowery and the base is just so soothing and creamy, this is how I want my every day to end everyday! Seems like apart from Noa Perle - Delices would be my very own signature. Brilliant elixir of feminity - spicy and delicious! Although quite expensive - it is worth trying. And did I mention that the bottle is to die for??? :-)

This is better and more complex than Pozo IN BLACK (mentioning due to votes cast above comparing the two), though I can see how one might appeal to fans of the other. There's no comparison when it comes to the quality. This wins, hands down. It doesn't say licorice in the notes here but when this settles, that's what I very distinctly smell in the air around me. This is for gourmand lovers. Salty and sweet, licorice flavoured toffee. In the opening I smell a rich, spiced honey aroma with a tonka/vanilla backdrop. Thankfully it never ventures into being sickly sweet. Lasting power is impressive and it really packs a punch (with only one spray) without overwhelming.

For many years this was my signature. I can't understand why Cartier no longer makes this fragrance, it's perfection in a bottle. Unfortunately, people are charging ridiculous amounts for the bottles that I've found due to the fragrance being discontinued. I tried the Eau Frutee version, but it is not the same. The best version of this Delices was the extrait, and if one could not get their hands on the extrait the EDP would do, but the EDT was much different from the EDP. If you have this perfume in 2021/2022, I envy you!

Of all the perfumes I own, this is hands down my number one compliment getter. It is a divine cherry scent, a little sweet and a little savory. I had a woman stop me in the post office the other day and tell me how good I smelled. Then she came back and asked me the name of it. I don't find it too sweet or too heady with the white and yellow florals either. The sillage and longevity are quite good as well. Of Cartier's line up of perfumes, and there are many, this is undeniably my favorite - and my most favorite cherry!

Delicious! This scent goes so well with my chemistry and produces a gourmand-vanilla sweet scent that I have never experienced. The cherry notes in the beginning are just the beginning of a harmonious blend of beautiful notes that continue to develop. This is definitely a scent I feel is not limited to season, and it may just become my everyday scent. Delices by Cartier is a scent that captures the deliciousness of femininity, seduction, and flirtation. I absolutely adore this scent!

This is my signature scent I would say. It's so warm and lovely! I stopped wearing it for a while though. Then one day, when going on a date with my boyfriend, I decided to sprinkle myself with this fragrance again. And as soon as he smelled me, he said "I know this scent! This is your scent! From our first dates!" haha. Even he remembers how good it smells. Even the very last notes that remain are divine.

very synthetic cherry...but the almond and loads of amber compensate. I can understand how it might not satisfy a real fragrantic nose. It is quite linear. But I only get compliments when I wear it and it has a really war feeling to it. It uplifts my mood every single time I wear it. Needless to say, since I am reviewing the intense edp, it lasts for ages. Drydown reminds me of Hypnotic poison edp

My mom had gotten some of this and sprayed it on. I ran through the house trying to find the source of this smell sure enough it was my mom. Delices has got to be one of the most unique fruity smells I've Ever smelled. When first sprayed it smells kind of like cherry cēpacol. Then from there it gets like a powdery cherry icee.

Wild going. LOVE it. I am recommending this for anyone who doesnt like most modern perfume. This is not sweet, nor loaded with fake musk. Pencil shavings of cedarwood float on some form of lovely cherriness. This is old world and new world enmeshed in classy classic glamourous fun. Gourmand with style

I just adore this. Very complex fragrance, it starts fresh and lively and it ends so warm and powdery. Spicy and sweet, at the same time. Elegant, but not flat... this is a rich, a statement scent. And the lasting power is the best. A masterpiece, I'm impressed! ♥

excellente fragrance je l'ai encore en tête après 15 années, cerise en tête, musc, excellent dosage, dommage qu'on ne le trouve plus, convenait le soir en automne, sexy et discret mais très raffiné

This is my current favourite. For me it smells like a warm spring morning when the flowers have just opened and the scent sends me off into a happy daze.

As the french name says, it's Delicious! Sweet cherry, but powdered by the violet. Very feminine and playfull scent. The bottle for me is gorgeous.

hands down,the best one of cartier!! please make it again! sweet,lasting,and at the same time fresh, perfect..

love this one, sweet and unique, never get bored with this, my signature scent

beautiful bottle and aromat very lovely,frutty, not heavy at all.

Wow I'm sitting here wondering how do I not wear this more often. I was getting ready to either try to sell this or swap it, but now I know I have to keep. Usually when I'm picking my scent for the day I usually skip over this I think I've only worn it once or twice before today. Today I decided to wear this it was a chilly day where I live and I wanted to feel cozy. The not only was it cozy made me feel great today,but it is also amazingly gorgeous. Cartier Delices is very pleasing to my nose. It open up with a nice blast of cherries, which is slightly synthetic but not in a bad way. Its not like cough syrup to my nose like some have mentioned...Next I smelt the pepper and the musk and they blended beautifully with the cherries. Slowly the amber and the tonka bean made their appearance making it even more wonderful. This perfume was not overly sweet and it was very balanced and blended in such a lovely way. The pepper and musk lingered for a quite a long time which I really like. The drydown was more of the the cherries, amber,tonka bean, and sandalwood. It was slightly creamy too which I really liked. Honestly I did not pick up any of the floral notes in this perfume. The lasting power for this on my skin was 12+ hours which is amazing to me. I also got complements which I'm actually kind of not used to getting. It made me super happy. From now on I'm going to have to wear this more often because its so yummy to wear without feeling childish! <3
