Eau de Cartier

NOW I know why my uncle always says: "...BUT it is Cartier!" when I ask why he always keeps buying things (like Pasha) that HE says do not last all that long. The quality and elegance of this scent are evident from the very first spray... The opening on this is simply amazing! Bright japanese grapefruits (yuzu) with mandarin's sheer sweetness is simply delicious, but the complimentary note of corriander is sheer genius. The cool green leafy feel surrounds the citruses and does not intensify them, so much as embrace them. In the heart, the cool powdery beauty of violet is balanced by warm and woody lavender with the awesome thick and green feel of the violet leaves. I also get something almost "peppery" here, but it really works for a unisex scent. Cedar is the predominant note in the drydown (for sure), but it is not too "woody" as a light patchouli and smooth white amber (less rich and incensey smelling) swirl with just enough VERY CLEAN muskiness to make this one hell of a scent! Cartier sould make a watch with one number on it and the most plain band and face and it would STILL be stunning; THAT is what they have done here. Eau de Cartier takes some VERY common, and sometimes overused, notes and creates something original, elegant and very sexy! I simply cannot stop smelling the back of my hand...what a treasure this is! Citrus, flowers, herbs, leaves, wood, and resins combined into something utterly genderless and extremely beautiful...I hope Christine Nagel won a FiFi for this; because if she didn't, that is a true travesty! *Thank you ArkangeL, for finding me a small bottle of this and taking care of all the logistics to get it to me!* Sillage: good Longevity: VERY good Overall: 4.5/5 Summer, spring, winter or fall; I can see myself wearing this in pretty much any season and for just about any occasion from "hanging out" to dressing up and "going out". I have many citrus aromatic scents and this particular one stands above most of them. After all...it IS Cartier!

Cartier has produced quite a few beautiful fragrances to this day - and this is definitely one of them! I've had it for many many years - I bought it for a good price, tried it on two or three times and put it in the back of the closet! (It wasn't so good for me then - even my nose is significantly better/more experienced today!) A couple of months ago, I happened to notice him and spray him with love! :) I believe that the same thing has happened to you at some point with another fragrance! It starts out very citrusy - but not like other similar perfumes based on citrus (Lemon) - rather bergamot in combination with Yuzu (One of the most beautiful citrus scents!) Very fresh and beautiful! The fact that I like the fragrance so much is the fault of the heart of this fragrance! Its evolution from fresh yuzu when the story transforms into a mixture of violet, lavender, musk... This is the perfect part! It lasts quite well on clothes for a fresh fragrance - it's not as bad as some people think!

I have gone through a couple of samples of EdC over the past year. Its possible to pick it up so cheaply now I had to go for a full bottle. When I smell this fragrance I get lilac with a hint of lavender. I know there is other "stuff" in there but it is so finely blended I find it difficult to pick out. Luckily I don't need to, its a lovely, sweet and fresh fragrance. Its very light, especially after the first half hour or so, but it gently hangs around for about eight hours. I have recently started to appreciate the softer fragrances. They feel more suited to spring time and early summer than perhaps a heavy oud or leather. Its nice to experience nature's own best fragrances at this time of the year. I use three sprays to the body with EdC. After an hour has passed I tend to forget its there. Every so often throughout the day I'm pleasantly reminded of its presence by gentle wafts of pretty lilac.

semplice ed elegante, questa "eau" che sembra già appartenere alla serie dei classici unisex senza tempo, è adattissima ai caldi giorni di scirocco come questo. le prime note agrumate (yuzu giapponese) sono avvolte in un morbido abbraccio di foglie di violetta che ne smorzano l'asprezza. quindi l'acqua si fa legnosa e leggermente aromatica, con accenni di legno di cedro e lavanda, fino ad arrivare alle note di fondo gentilmente polverose e speziate (violetta e patchouli leggero). l'insieme è interamente giocato su toni gradevolmente lievi. come giustamente puntualizza un "parfumista" su fragrantica, un'acqua eccellente che non passa per le solite, strasentite note di neroli. molto buono.
