Eau de Cartier Concentree

This eau exudes class. From its simple and elegant bottle to the cleverly composed juice, Eau de Cartier Concentree is a masterful orchestration in the designer game for what I would describe as an everyday fragrance. This is not your typical fresh scent. There is a sharp citrusy burst that quickly reveals more interesting components - a composed yuzu balanced with coriander. The heart has a very green quality; to me there is something that evokes beach days in the far orient. The lavender note is subtle; when it comes in, it isn't as intense as in Prada Amber pour homme but just there to give a quiet cleanliness to the fragrance. Speaking of amber - the dry down of the amber and patchouli (as per alpestremonte); freshness and sweetness as per sophywt. This is not a fragrance that will offend those around you; as a wearer however, there is an aromatic/herbal quality that may not be to your liking - I suspect the transition coriander/violet leaf but I could be wrong. I actually enjoy that a lot. In general, I have some problems of longevity with my skin - not so with this Cartier. I think I got 11 hours. Though the last 4 hours were very much skin level but still noticeable. I suppose if I wore it daily (which I haven't been able to as it is winter here), there may be reason for me to start getting bored with it. I'll update you at the end of summer. If you are in the market for a fresh scent that differs form the standard citrus/aquatic standards, do yourself a favour and give EdC Concentree. Love it! I can't wait for this spring and summer. Now if only somebody would buy me one of those love bracelets - the white gold would be nice.

I get something similar to Florabotanica minus the rose and cannabis. Images that come to mind..... Dewy wet garden with a citrus/lemon tree nearby. Rain soaked freshly cut grass. Overall a green, watery, earthy, citrus & ozonic fragrance with light hints of lavender & violet. Very zen. Would be lovely topped with a more prominent floral. These types of scents aren't usually my preference but was gifted and am enjoying it. Great for spring & summer. I've only worn it twice so far but for such a light freshie it's performed quite nicely(4-6hrs). 100% unisex right down the middle imo. It's a 'like' for now(but it is growing on me more & more). I'll give it a 7/10. Edited: Yeah, I've been wearing this and I'm upping it to a 'love'. Honestly did not think I'd enjoy this as much as I am. 8.5/10 rating now. Also want to add that the lemony Yuzu gets more sugary sweet as the fragrance wears down.

Great combination of citrus (yuzu) and amber/woody notes. I love wearing this in the spring and summer. Very fresh and easy going - unfortunately it doesn't perform that well. Unisex scent - my wife has the regular Eau de Cartier which I think comes out a bit more feminin. Bottle have a turning lock ring which is great for travel. Looking for a similar scent with better sillage and longevity - but haven't found it yet. I think Acqua di Parma Colonia comes pretty close but I haven't been impressed by performance when I've tried it on. Scent: 8/10 Longevity: 5/10 Sillage: 5/10 Box/Bottle: 7/10 Safe blind buy: 8/10 (difficult to find though) Bang for the buck: 2/10 (too expensive retail)

This is crazy...in my experience, Eau de Cartier Concentreé along with a very few others (including Acqua Di Parma Oud, Tuscan Leather and Santal 33) has a really potent staying power. I applied one spray on my right hand to test it, washed my hands twice and I can still smell it. Fragrances usually don't last a long time on my skin, but this one... boy it lasts forever, however it sits very close to the skin. I think this one is very underrated. It's so fresh, spicy and woody at the same time. Very elegant and easy to wear IMO. It's marked as unisex but I see it more leaning towards the masculine side. Can be a perfect daily scent for almost every occasion and season.

I love this! This is a beautiful vetiver fragrance. This is an airy vetiver not a weighted down headache inducing vetiver. Like I always say, there is something sexy about a woman who smells masculine from time to time. To be a confident woman who can pull off a unisex fragrance that is mostly masculine makes you mysterious, a chameleon, a risk taker. Sometimes in fragrance you just have to be those things. Just like you have to kiss a few frogs to find a prince lol. Okay, different thing but the same concept lol.
