Delices

This was my daughter's scent for quite a while. I used to buy it for her at the airport on my way back to South Africa from Japan. It reminds me of her in her early twenties, coming home after a night out with friends, smelling of perfume and flirting with cute guys and happiness. And telling me every little detail about the night, acting out what her friends did and say, making me laugh. It is a slightly fruity gourmand, but a very balanced perfume, suitable for most ages. Not too sweet or silly. The bottle is beautiful. BTW, all perfumes are in a sense 'artificial'. They're made up of molecules which have been derived, or not, from natural materials. What matters is not if there is a real cherry in there, but if it smells fantastic because of its cherry note. If you go wine tasting, they might tell you about the 'asparagus note', but you know for sure there's no asparagus in it. It just helps you appreciate the wine better. Same with perfume.

One of my favorite perfumes of all time - an all-time classic. It's sexy as hell and super glamourous. I wear it when I attend major events or dinners, because it is so impactful. It is almost ridiculous how many times men have had a strong reaction to this scent. It's just so seductive and original. Update: I am not wearing it as much anymore since I associate it with another period in my life. But this is an exquisite scent. So warm and full. Like a cozy, sensual embrace. This is the perfume that I got the most compliments on ever! This is an empowering scent that makes you feel like a goddess. Important note: Having loved this scent for a long time, I once decided to get the Eau de Perfume version. And it was not the same smell at all, other notes were exaggerated, transforming the whole scent to something that weren't as unique and warm. So back to Eau de Toilette I went!

The comparison of Delices to Princess floors me. In my opinion, they are very distinct from each other; Lovestruck is more akin to Princess. This is definitely an example of skin chemistry. For me: The top notes are dominated by pink pepper and bergemot in a 50:50 ratio. I do not get any fruity notes. Cherry is one of my fave fruity notes, so right away it's different than expected. The sillage is noticable, a good thing for me. The heart consists of warm amber and tonka bean. The pink pepper/bergamot calm down after a few minutes but never fades for a good 5 hours. I feel this would be most suitable for nighttime wear. To make comparisons to other perfumes I have smelled, it would be Oriens Van Cleef and Arpels mixed with Dior Hypnotic Poison.

Today this is my SOTD. It’s hot and humid here in NY, looking to see how this does. I just purchased this not to long ago. I used to own this a while back but got rid of back in the day. This is not your TF Cherry scent at all, it’s quite different more powdery fruity floral than straight up cherry. Now mind you this is on my skin. I feel anyone can wear this, unisex! This is so beautiful and I am loving this in the summer but I bet this will do well in the colder months for sure! Longevity is good about 4 hours than close to skin, sillage is also good also close to skin. Get your hands on this if you can. Highly Recommended 9/10.

I hated this the first time i tried it. It was so cloying, medicinal, and yuck. One week later, i gave Delices Cartier another try and it changed my opinion about this frag. I'm still not a fan of its beginning phase tho, so medicinal-cherry boozy and smells a bit weird on my skin. After a while, it becomes warmer, more floral, and lovely nutty. I couldn't help not to sniffing it all the time. Not a love yet, but i really like its vanilla-ambery-cherry-nutty drydown.

I have to say I love this. Maybe it's the chilly autumn weather, but after testing it a couple of times lately, and loving it despite the girly feeling it gave me, I went and bought it. I don't feel the floral-fruity, because on my skin there is no floral note whatsoever, its mostly woody with just the top notes being fruity(warm comforting sandalwood, toka beans, and glazed cherries). It's sweet, but just the right amount of, and it just makes me feel happy and cozy

to me this is gourmand-oriental scent, exotic and smoky, mysterious and dark, captivating and intriguing ....something in it reminds me of an expensive french cognac....it makes my head spin without being drunk, i really like it! P.S. this it how it smells on me, on paper it is totally different and i don't like it on paper at all...good i decided to spray on my skin, otherwise would have given it a pass....

This is an absolutely devine scent!It is warm, subtle and pleasant. I always receive heaps of compliments when wearing it. Both women and men of all ages seem to like it, and they go "mmmmm, what are you wearing...you really smell heavenly and fresh!" The staying power is good(EdT)- and the best thing is that the scent never becomes too overpowering. It just lingers in the air like a playful butterfly :)

I love it ! It's so yummy and warm, wrapping, gourmand and elegant. It makes me think about Hypnotic Poison - Dior : it's not the same perfume at all but this warm feeling is the same. Cherry and tonka bean are very present. For gourmand perfumes lovers. Very good lasting power. Simply gorgeous.

This is the initial fragrance I had years ago that got me long for more gourmand scents. Starts fruity, ends with chocolate and cherry. I prefered to wear it at night when the weather was a bit humid but the wind felt a bit cooler ( I live in tropical country) since the sillage would be better.

Opening is a medicinal cough syrup cherry. After a couple minutes it mellows to a beautiful clean fruity floral. It has a sharpness at the front that I can't place... almost like cinnamon. Very strong and it smells exactly like a high end jewelry store. Definitely a sophisticated experience.

2020: still nothing like this. Also own and cherish the EDP, although I find them quite different. This isn't just a 'watered-down' version of the edp, as is the case with many scents. I remember Fruitee not being to my taste back in the day, never purchased it.

Initially very sharp fruitiness but within an hour it transforms to warm caramel-covered cherries.Very pleasant. Sillage and longevity are excellent.I didn't need to reapply for 5 hours.Compliments and enquiries aplenty,which is what I like from a perfume.

A wonderful fragrance for gorgeous women, and a touch of luxury for a working woman. This one will certainly survive the 2000s well into the new decade. Excellent stuff here. ****

It is (long-lasting), only it took a while with me - it seems to me that the skin has to absorb some of the scent, before it starts giving off the smell great buy I LOVE it

I was trying to get rid of it, but I gave it a second chance, and I loved it. It has a strong cherry and licorice notes. Very elegant, and classy aroma. I changed my mind.

I dont think this is a young scent for young people, but it makes u more youthful if u arent a teengirl, very mature& sexy! And....wow..EDT but very lasting! love it!

I am usually in to EDP, but according to me this is good chose in EDT! Rich and sweet and great enough! I love it, one of my favourite scents.

I completely agree that it smells so much better on the skin than it does on paper, at least with my body chemistry.

Wonderful winter fragrance. Bold,rich, feminine, sweet, alluring. I can recognize cherry,freesia and violet.
