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.

I tried this in a 1.5 sample recently and having been underwhelmed by Cartier Baiser Vole, wasn't expecting much. However, I instantly fell in love. You know that feeling when you try loads of perfumes hoping for that thunderbolt moment when you find one that is perfect for you? I had that with Eau de Cartier. The Bergamot is softened, not sharp, the lavender and soft musk whispers through, and the overall effect is very feminine, classy, soft and with a hint of clean laundry. It smells pure and ethereal and it is top of my Wanted List. I was stunned to find it's unisex,I find it much too feminine to be a male scent.

Eau de Cartier is a really nice modern citrus scent. It's very sheer and masculinely unisex. It has a clean and fresh citrus as the main star while having woody note and floral scent switching back and forth. It can be comparable to Bvlgari Au Blanc as far as the way it stays on my skin, which is light and almost transparent. I love this scent very much, just wish it wears a bit stronger and longer like many reviewers mentioned. Nonetheless, I will have to invest in a bigger bottle when the price is right.

Fresh but unique I love the yuzu, and violet notes and lavendar, some of my faves. The violet and cedar also make it fairly woodsy for a citrus aromatic, which is a plus in my book! I love this for warm spring days and wearing to the gym, since it won't overpower everyone else when things get sweaty. I don't seem to have longevity issues like some here, but maybe my expectations are lower since it's a citrus freshy, i get moderate wear out of this with soft projection. Perfect for what it is.

I think it's a really wonderful scent! I can't analyze it more professional and explain each note- but this scent remind me green garden (not floral) after light rain in such cloudy day....- something very fresh and very balanced, not artificial. Unfortunately , I have seen only once pack of 5 little bottles (pocket size). Eau de Cartier Concentree - is not same fragrance, and it can't be replace . i would prefer Eau de Parfum version, something less volatile, but it doesn't exist.

Wow! Such a great and easy to wear fragrance. I didn't expect I would love it so much. I don't know why but it reminds me of Burberry Women scent. Weird, but somehow when I apply it to my skin it smells like Burberry on me, and I can't distinguish the note that makes them smell alike to me. It's fresh, soft, so feminine and I find it incredibly sexy. Great to wear to work, you won't offend anyone, I think even people with allergies will tolerate this. LOVE it!

Eau's are some of my favorite fragrances, regardless of performance issues. But on me, I don't have any issues with Cartier. I first bought this when I moved to LA, and it has a very California feel to me. Fresh, juicy, clean, but elegant, one of the best yuzus around IMHO. on me it feels greener than the notes above reveal. Absolutely unisex but would lean masculine. I have had several bottles over the years. Shame it was discontinued.

Cartier have a good collection of fragrances But this one is beyond good The citrus and spice as well as spicy florals such as violet and lavender Make this one of a kind experience What makes this scent a little bit better for me is how distinct it is which I can’t recall any other fragrances that are identical to it Performance is a major factor in loving a frag for me but this time it’s an exception 9/10

This is THE BEST cologne feeling ever for after shower. Everytime my mom was using it I was like MOM? MOM! What is that perfume that you are wearing! I need it in my life! It makes a person look perfectly clean and tidy. I would say it has a good amount of ambroxan like Juliette has a gun Not a perfume although it is not mentioned on the list here in Fragrantica. Defo a very good gift for a woman.

What a beauty this is! This has been in my collection about 20 years and I just never get bored with it. It's subtle but it's there, beautifully lingering from room to another like a sweet whisper. It's crisp and calming at the same time. Very high quality. I bought this one at Christmas time and every time I spray it, I feel the festive time coming. Such a kind and warm scent to me.

Fresh and clean I would discribe this fragrence like clean linen dried in the sun great on men and women try it together.....not long lasting enough though and the concentrate has different notes not the same at all maybe if they made a body wash and body moisterizer so it could be layered...but I just adore it anyway.

Fresh and linear, but also likable and most importantly, wearable. I’m not bothered by the iso e super in this composition. It’s here with a light touch, amplifying the yuzu, violet leaf and lavender. This is a warm weather, clean scent with below average performance.

An underrated gem from Cartier. Its the best every day wear violet fragrance IMO. I tried the whole Eau de line but the OG edt is the best by far. I really wish they bring it back.

Very sophisticated skin scent. A very modern fresh yuzu that dries to a white musk & light woody scent. Elegant, Fresh and uplifting for daytime and hot weather. Well blended 👌

Seem to give power and vitality for life, something like selfconfidence in a bottle;)... wind between juniper trees for me. Very citrus for the others...

The scent is good...sweet/sour type of scent, but for a longer lasting/better scent, I found you can blend this with, Clean Men, and it smells great
