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

Just tried this and the EDT version today... When I sprayed EDT I got a menthol cherry smell! Like cherry flavoured cough sweets such as halls or soothers. The smell remained the same, just got more balmier with the tonka bean I guess as time passed. The EDP started out mediciney on me also, but after 5 minutes had passed the smell developed into a very sophisticated powdery scent although the traces of cherry completely disappeared, which I didn't mind as the cherry note is what made it smell like cough sweets in the first place! Overall I was left with a lovely sophisticated drydown, nevertheless, the EDT did not suit me at all but this one smelled lovely on me! Guys, if you want to purchase this scent, TRY BOTH EDT AND EDP VERSIONS BEFORE YOU BUY! BOTH PERFUMES LIST THE SAME NOTES BUT THEY SMELL COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER! It is important to note which fragrance suits you better

This is basically the same scent as in the EDT however I feel that this is an altogether deeper, more interesting and complex perfume. Adding to the heart of this fragrance is a kind of lush kelly green background. Red glossy cherry skins gleaming against a bed of lush dark leaves. The addition of musk to the mix really makes itself known too, creating a really suprisingly grown up twist. Instead of a nightclub here, I picture a trip to the movies in an old-style cimea respledent with toe-snuggling plush red carpet and gold battens with twisted gold ropes linking them together. Date night. It is a story about intimacy in a quieter setting. The price you pay for this complexity however is a wee bit too much pink pepper. While I intend to drain the sample, I doubt I would invest in a full bottle. Similarly to the EDT, this speaks of a time in my life I have outgrown.

I see some reviewers saying they cannot smell the cherry. I absolutely disagree, it is clearly a Cherry based perfume but on the other hand I can understand what they mean. To make it more clear for anyone who hasn't smelled this perfume: If you wish to find a fruity/Juicy cherry perfume (such as zara's cherry smoothie) that is definitely not it. This is a peppery cherry/ tonka bean /creamy/slightly woody and flowery perfume . The scent is not flat, it is well blended and while it's a Cherry scent it's not a fruity cherry. The bottle and its colour are very representative of the perfume. Overall it is a sensual and sassy perfume for cold winter days and nights. It's sexy, it's not not quiet but but it is not loud like CH Good Girl for example, which makes it way classier.

I love cherry notes so this was a must for my collection. The bottle is as elegant as the fragrance it contains. Well blended and balanced & not cloying. Perfect for so many occasions. The freesia & bergamot minimizes the powdery violet (not always a fan of powdery notes). The musk and sandalwood makes this a grown up cherry. This is nothing like Jesus Del Poso In Black (which I hated no matter what) or like Fendi L'Acquarossa Elixir (which has that unmistakable Fendi DNA & the cherry is syrupy & this ain't). This can be worn year round, day or night. Sillage isn't overpowering and the longevity is modest. I sometimes wear this to bed to feel cozy. I'm glad I got this since Cartier stopped making this fragrance.

Side by side with this on one wrist and In Black (Jesus Del Pozo) the other, this is not impressive. They are similar with Del Pozo possessing a touch of juiciness absent in this fragrance. This is slightly less fruity. It is just not very interesting- I get tired of smelling it long before it wears off. Not worth the price. If you like this sort of thing, want to save money, and don't mind a composition which is slightly less dry, the Del Pozo would be a good bet. I believe most of the cost went into the bottle for this one, not the juice. I know and love some exquisite Cartier fragrances, and this was a disappointment to me. It is a beautiful bottle. My full bottle is going up for sale or swap.

Although i love fruity fragrances, I am very cautious with them, as a lot of them smell like cheap body mists or too sugary and smothering. This one is...."Delicious"! Sweet but not cloying and syrupy at all. You can tell the presence of Cartier- a fruity fragrance taken to the next level:playful and flirty, and undoubtfully sexy. Would be perfect for spring or summer with bright colored clothes. It's interesting that i can smell vanilla very distinctively, and it's not even on the list of notes. I have a body milk and an EDP and i'm loving it!!!!

I own a bottle of this, I don't wear it often, but I don't hate it. It starts off VERY Cherry, almost cough syrup smelling. The Freesia an Lime save it a little. The dry down is actually very nice, sweet & powdery with a hint of warmth. Definately feminine. Gorgeous red cut glass bottle. Cartier is a good brand and makes very nice fragrances, this would be a nice Valentine's gift. For a lover, Mom or daughter.

This is funny, because on me it smells like marigold ointment - pleasant, warm, sweet, honey-like. Creates a gentle aura that I find office appropriate, especially in todays era of sickening gourmands, this one is rather delicious :D I recommend wearing it in closed spaces - it will work like a scented cocoon. I'm not getting any cherries. Maybe January is not the weather to get cherries out of this bottle :)

A sexy spicy and luxury scent! Starts with a burst of delicious berries, developed into classic powdery flowers and finally ends up with intense musk and amber. A perfume with red passion. It absolutely deserves the gorgeous bottle! I recommend it for formal occasions especially an evening dinner, but don't use it with a heavy amount, 2 or 3 spritz is enough.

Many years ago at first sniff I did not like it. My mum who knows how obsessed I am with fragrances gave me small samples last year after a clean-up. Delices was one of them. I realized how much I like it. It is fruity, floral and woody at the same time. My only problem is the performance, so now I am searching for the perfume concentration.

hated it at first it was this plastic scratch and sniff mess of ugliness then it bloomed and I loved it and couldn't stop sniffing myself; the top is cherry but it smelled like green apple to me then pepper and freesia; in the drydown there was musk and it turned into a soapy floral like a vintage fragrance

At first smell, I really enjoyed this perfume. Sweet and fruity. Less so with the drydown, made me think of a cherry cough drop. It is an elegant fragrance and I can see why most people would like it. I think it'd make a nice daytime fragrance since it's not overly offensive or strong.

Elegant, but quet ordinary. Cherry note is fading in first 20 minutes. Very long lasting and pleasant. I am using Delice now as my "every day office" smell. Probably, will not buy it again after it gone.

Has this been discontinued? All the stores have sold out and i can only find the EDT now. I need to find a bottle ASAP

I like this smell soft but not too sweet.I would like to buy this set in this Christmas.

First of all the bottle is gorgeous! It looks great in my collection. The notes seemed liked its right up my alley as I love scents with cherry. I love Dazzle by Paris Hilton and Sunset Glow by Bath and Body. But this one is just too much for my nose. It still smells great though but I have come to realize that I enjoy lighter versions of cherry scents because this one is truly rich and thick and can get cloying. Our sense of smells can be subjective so it is just not for me but I could also definitely see how others can enjoy this beautiful and elegant fragrance. I think this would be perfect for a party, date night or even a formal event. Longevity and sillage is amazing in my opinion.

What the ... O_o I'm testing it right now , and it's one of the most genereric-synthetic-uninterresting scent that i have ever tried . Really Where are the fruits ? I'm just smelling and unindentified smell , very medicinal at the begning , then just boring , really nothing to scream for . I think they rely most on the pretty ruby bottle to sell more than the fragrance itself. Not very long lasting for an EDP btw

one of my colegue in work was wearing it for a while, and i loved it. got the whole bottle prob now 4 y ago. used maybe 20ml of it. Still have if someone is interested pm me.

oh my word! this was just plastic from the word go. there was a bit of burnt nail varnish in there (i only know this smell from when the wind blew a lighter flame along my painted thumb nail and melted my varnish *lol). pink pepper abounds. now (after about an hour of struggling to not scrub it off) i'm just getting nappy smell (diaper for you USAers). i don't mean full obviously, but the smell of that funny plastinated fabric that used to be elasticated round the leg holes. it really is most unpleasant. i've not tried any other cartier fragrances and now am wary of trying any more. no fruit, no florals, just chemical. thank heavens i didn't invest (substantially) in this one.

Sweet. Good lord is it ever sweet. It starts out extremely sweet. The next phase is fruit and pepper, that fades out within minutes and I can detect a hint of floral and something deeper trying to get through but the sweetness is smothering it. The sweetness does ebb some but it's still the main element but as it progresses the edge is tempered ever so minimally by the floral and wood notes. In the end, too sweet for me. I can see it being a perfect spring scent for late teens/very early 20's. If you want a little bit more mature/flirty fruity scent without it being overpowering w the sweetness, I would suggest Nina.

I was excited to find a 10ml size of Delices De Cartier EDP, a discontinued fragrance that I missed the first time around. I can imagine this working on the right person, but the sweet cherry note in Delices De Cartier comes across more medicinal than boozy. My skin is amping the sweetness and synthetic feel of the composition. I’m also picking up tonka with several lumps of powdered sugar. And easy pass for me on a perfume that’s not quite my style.

Delices De Cartier by Cartier smells like a cherry limeade slurpee! It opens with a lot of lime and cherry with just a hint of amber. As it dries down I pick up on the tonka bean and violet which has papery-powdery scent to it on me. Sadly my skin and tonka bean just don’t want to work together and it has been with way with many tonka bean dominant fragrances. What a bummer! The bottle is so pretty! Fortunately I was able to swap it!

This is a review for the Parfum version. I was very excited to try this due to many reviews saying that this is a spicey, fruity and pretty scent. With one spray on the bacl of by hand, my stomach twisted in a KNOT! Whoa... something is not right with this scent; at least to my nose. This definitely is spicey, but the cherry is soooo wrong. Scrubber, and hard to scrub off!

Not great on my skin especially the dry down Im getting synthetic cherry, a load of medicinal amber and violet that smells like sanitary items. Needless to say I'm feeling quite sick from it. I think this depends on your skin chemistry because it started out really nice, sparkling and fruity.

Delices de Cartier is a bit of a chameleon, a complex cherry and sandalwood drizzled chameleon. It is extremely dimensional and admittedly, it did take awhile for me to really like it. Now, after several months, I love it. A non-typical, unique and delicious delight, Delices is.

The first blast of Sour Cherries and in a couple of minutes it dries down to a scent of milky Musk and Vanilla. this has to be the one of the most unsual perfumes this and Jean Paul Gautier MA Dame in my collection. this frangrance is not for Everybody. Give it 3 1/2

This is freaking terrible. Super synthetic sickly sweet, yet spicey cherry mixed with menthol. Nasty. Doesn't seem to develop into anything else on me, I kept smelling it and all I would get was cherry menthol. Not a safe blind buy. The bottle is adorable however.

I was really looking forward to this because I love BBW Cherry Blossom, but on me, this smelled like old fashioned cherry cough syrup and nothing else. I kept sniffing my wrist waiting for a drydown that never came.

I have both the Eau de Toilette and the EDP. I believe the EDP is muskier than the EDT. Like I said in the EDT review... it's sexy, decadent and boozy, like cherry liqueur. I love it!

To me it will always be the vomit perfume. Sorry Cartier. I had a bottle of this given to me by a family member one Christmas. I tried wearing it as l was young back then and only had a couple of perfumes handed down to me and l barely had two scents to rub together let alone be able to buy expensive perfume. It was the most awful perfume l ever had. Everytime l wore it l could smell this waft that smelled like vomit. 🤢 l tried to persevere but never got used to the smell that instsntly turned to sick on me. Also nobody ever told me l smelled good in this either, so l thought maybe ill use it as an air freshener at home as sometimes a perfume turns bad when it mixes with your body chemistry but is nice sprayed elsewhere but l could still smell the sick smell (which now l realise must have been the cherries and liquorice which my inexperienced nose couldnt distinguish) and ended up throwing it away in the end. I kept the beautiful lid though, and still have it, as you always get that bottle of perfume that has a boring or ugly lid and l swapped over lids and now have it on top of my Madly Kenzo bottle which is the same colour and the real lid to that was lost years ago. So it came in handy for something. I wouldn't recommend this perfume but if you're into cherry scents then you'll like it. It's a generous 2/10 for this hateful little wretch.
