Pasha Cartier

It's all about the concept. Pasha is not just a word, it's a lifestyle. It's an indicator of class, wealth, and breed. Pasha is an Ottoman prestigious title held by men of state and status, typically middle-aged or older men formally dressed in suits with fezes (tarbush)on their heads, large mustaches on their faces that reflect rigid but wise features and driven by in their luxurious horse-driven carriages or black shiny automobiles. They are serious, successful, confident, and leading men. The word is commonly used in the Middle East, nowadays, to address people with respect and/or cordiality and reflect their status and wealth. It's more of an informal title used freely by the public to indicate a positive attitude. A pasha is refined, looks great, smells great, behaves well, noble and attractive, Pasha is the equivalent of an English gentleman. Now about Pasha de Cartier. The bottle comes in the form of a minerate, with the cap taking the shape of a dome (particularly a fantasy 1001 nights dome type or an Ottoman dome) which is still the shape of a certain type of fez (tarbush). The bottle speaks the concept. It looks and feels luxurious, worthy to be worn by a pasha. The smell is what a Pasha should smell like: wealth, confidence, and power. If fragrances are geometrical shapes this is a circular shape not a square, it's well-blended, aromatic, no sharp edges, very refined and smooth. It's spicy and a bit sweet; soapy in the most positive meaning of the word. It isn't Oriental but isn't pure Western also, a Pasha is a hybrid species, since the Ottoman empire was on the crossroad between the east and the west. I can't describe it but it's love at first sight. Comments below do a great job breaking the notes, but I don't care much about it here, it smells great and performs great for me too, and that's all I care for and I haven't paid much for it, compared to other brands I got it for a great price. Now is it for older men? definitely not for teenagers who use Axe anyways, but 25 and up and perfectly suits a man in his 30s, like myself. While it sounds formal, it still feels flamboyant and alluring, and although it can be worn for any occasion and any season too, I prefer to wear it in the evenings, that's where it shines, in the depths of the dark quiet night, it just shines and fills the atmosphere with you: the Pasha, himself. Silage is great and so is longevity. It lasts with meaningful silage for 4-5 hours, fantastic, but on my skin it lasted as a faint skin scent almost for more than 20 hours, I know because I applied it in the evening and I kept sniffing my arm the next evening without applying anything else. It doesn't feel outdated to me at all, it's fresher and cleaner than anything modern I have, maybe it's the oakmoss that makes it smell 80s, but no really. When people say contemporary fragrances what hits me is metallic and aquatic notes that I dislike. I like 36thDisciple's comment below that states Pasha is for traditional wet-shavers. I second and relate to that. Pasha has a pleasant colognish vibe to it and yes I wet-shave with razors that hold double edge blades and lather traditional soap with a boar brush. A typical pasha would feature a large mustache, but no need to stick to that rule with Pasha de Cartier, since wearing it, your mustache would grow in no time. I rarely rave about a fragrances and hardly write lengthy reviews, but Pasha is compelling. This is the only fragrance that when I wear, I feel like a Pasha.

This is a truly, absolutely, positively, stunning masterpiece. Within a short timeframe, I blind bought three Cartier fragrances from my local CVS that were either on sale, or I had so many coupons/discounts, it made them cheaper than anywhere else. The first one I purchased/opened was Santos, which I wrote a less-than-satisfying review on. This sullied my opinion of Cartier from the start. I worried that the rest of the fragrances would smell similar. I opened Declaration second, and to my happiness and surprise, it smelled nothing like Santos. Declaration is soft, yet crisp, classy, timeless, and smells like freshly printed money. As much as I would love to wear it every day, I feel like I'd have to have on at least a dress shirt and khakis to match the style that one exudes. Today, I opened Pasha. Now...prior to buying this, I remember smelling Pasha years ago. I was walking through Needless Markups (Neiman Marcus) and stopped at the men's fragrance section and sprayed what, by default given the year, had to have been Pasha EDT. I remember loving it then (but at that time, wasn't spending that kind of money on a fragrance), and I love it still today. It's becoming clearer to me that Lavender is a note that when done cheaply (F Black by Ferragamo), smells REALLY cheap, and when done on less of a budget, like this, smells amazing. Also, when paired with spices/aromatics, does a better job of not stealing the show, but blending together complementarily. Pasha smells clean, toned down but noticeable, and has a different but still timeless scent profile that over 30 years later, can still feel relevant given the right situation. Wearing this with a super casual outfit (think a t-shirt and gym shorts) would feel out of place, at the very least, I'd think a polo and a pair of khaki shorts would feel appropriate. That said, Pasha does create a new baseline for me as far as Cartier fragrances go, so that I don't have to get "dressed to the nines" just to wear one of their fragrances. Best of all, it definitely takes me even farther away from my original opinion of Cartier fragrances from when I smelled Santos. That's probably the best compliment I can give it. 9/10

I was searching for this ever since I read about it being very similar to YSL Jazz which I consider to be my signature fragrance. Jazz is no longer available in my country so I was happy to find 2 unopened Pasha tester 100 ml bottles (January 2016 batch) available from a local online shop at the end of November 2019. I fell in love with Pasha from the very first spray. It is indeed very similar to Jazz and I am sure they share certain notes. Jazz is a bit stronger though from what I remember. I haven’t tried the Jazz la Collection yet but am awaiting a couple of bottles ordered from the USA. I am wearing Pasha once or twice a week in our summer weather and works fine in the heat. I have a feeling it might be suitable for all seasons as it is not a heavy fragrance. Longevity is quite good and I can still smell it on my arm in the evening about 9 or 10 hours after spraying. This stuff really makes me feel clean, fresh and like a million bucks whenever I wear it. My sister smelled it on me the first day I got it and almost convinced me to sell one of mine to her for her husband as she also fell in love with it just like I did.. Will definitely source more from overseas once I run out. Pricing seems to be quite reasonable too. I paid the equivalent of about $67 per bottle locally which is still a bargain for such quality. 9.5/10 for me. UPDATE: I have realised that Pasha is much closer smelling to another newly discovered classic, Ralph Lauren Safari, which I only bought now (2 March 2020). For me Pasha is better than Safari both in smell and longevity. UPDATE NO.2: I bought 2x sealed 50ml of the original formulation in late 2021, both from a 1995 batch. I must say the 2016 formulation is very close to the vintage and definitely one of the better modern formulations of classics. The vintage is richer smelling with more oakmoss. If you can find the vintage at a reasonable price (like I did), go for it otherwise buy the one available. That is if the 2022 product still smells like that of the 2016 that I own. CLASSIC & TIMELESS.

Been wearing Pasha a fair bit lately as a work fragrance. Steven from Redolessence said in his review that Pasha is somewhat of an old school powerhouse and is super masculine and I don't get quite that vibe. Its definitely masculine smelling (and not unisex), but it doesn't scream old school masculine or powerhouse like something of a Kouros, Lapidus pH or a Drakkar Noir. Its possibly my new bottle, but Pasha is relatively tame; I don't get wild projection out of it and the scent to me feels sophisticated, gentlemanly, clean and fresh. It carries a similar smell to my bottle of Tsar but without the green feel. I think its the sweet lavender and the oakmoss that make them smell similar. Pasha is super clean to my nose, no dirty notes at all; feels closer to a barbershop fougere than an 80s powerhouse fougere, but its not particularly barbershopy or soapy. I'd put Pasha in that wave of late 80s aromatic fougeres that are considered proto-aquatics; something in the same vein as New West, Safari, Jazz and Cool Water. I'm wearing this to work today and I think it makes an excellent work scent as long as you aren't trigger happy (I wore 4 sprays). I can't see anyone truly being offended by this scent, even if it isn't your cuppa. Maybe its because I have a taste for older fragrances, but this doesn't smell dated to me at all and I think it would fit in line with any modern mens work/school scent. Because of the slightly sweet overtone, I think Pasha could work for any age; I think teenagers can pull this off and it wouldn't smell strange for a senior to wear this either. At the price available at discounters, Pasha is an absolute steal. Can't wait to try it out in every season

Pasha by Cartier belongs to a great series of exceptionally luxurious and complex masculine fragrances starting in the 1970 with Hermes's Equipage and continuing through Guerlain's Heritage in 1992: they have a million beautiful notes, usually including carnation, sandalwood and/or rosewood, and they smell like luxurious British country homes and corporate boardrooms. You cannot smell anything less than classy wearing these scents, and Pasha is no exception. These were all conceived of during the Reagan/Thatcher/Bush Sr. era of excess and success, and it really shows here. (And not just because of the ridiculously over-the-top bottle, which looks like a sapphire-topped minaret for George IV's Royal Pavilion at Brighton.) As beautiful as Pasha absolutely is (and I genuinely love it), I still cannot put it in the same class as Heritage, which is really at the level of the sublime given how beautifully blended the notes of that latter fragrance are. (It is one of the greatest fragrances of all time, in my opinion.) You can wear Heritage, despite its opulence, almost anywhere, but Pasha would be something you would only want to wear for special occasions or for a corporate job--and the message Pasha's sumptuous wood notes send is that anyone in your presence better be minding their p's and q's. Its fanciness is a bit self-conscious, given that the edges of its notes are not nearly as soft. But still, even to be spoken of in the breath as Heritage (or Safari, to which it is frequently compared, although it lacks Safari's softening buttery leather note) shows how remarkable this fragrance is. They just don't make them like this anymore.

A class apart. Even though this is a classic from '92, I only recently acquired it. And since it was from the house of Cartier, I had high expectations. And man, it goes beyond! There's something about classics that just get me from the word go. They just knew how to make stuff back then. They knew their ingredients really well. And most importantly, I think, they cared about stuff. And more often than not stuff turned out great. Pasha de Cartier is a thoroughbred classic. An old-school woody aromatic fougere, pretty typical of the late 80's -early 90's style. Think Ysl Jazz, Tsar, 1881, Safari etc. Each of them was truly unique in very special ways but they had a lot of similarities too. Pasha opens on a lemony-minty-tarry green note with loads of lavender to go. Initially a little tart and pungent, just for a minute maybe. Then it immediately starts to get smooth and dry, as you get whiffs of the coriander and oakmoss. It gets into the woody-spicy zone for a bit..still very dry but airy and breezy in a way. The initial citrus blast now toned down to just a subtle veil around the lavender & coriander. It's really beautiful to sense these stages go by. Very refined and mature. No theatrics whatsoever. And as the hours go by you can suddenly get wafts of creamy-dusty sandalwood and you know you have arrived. Very masculine, very classy. In a way more reminiscent of older fragrances like Aramis or Azzaro PH, in certain aspects (not the notes). It flew right to the top of my most-used-perfumes list. If you like old-school fougeres you have to try this one. It's a class apart. 9/10

My last take on this: One of the most profound fragrances I know. You need to give it time to appreciate it. I don’t know any other fragrances that uses the notes from the apiaceae family(caraway,anise, coriander) so well and also it combines them very well with its lamiaceae notes(mint, thyme and lavender). While there are many are fragrances that comine three lamiaceae notes very well(Antaeus, pacco rabanne, Yatagan, cool water) there aren’t many that I know that combine apiaceae notes in a similar way and let alone combine and harmonise the two families at the same time. One that gives it a western characteristic and the other that gives it an eastern one. The use of anise caraway and coriander is somewhat genius and then the lavender mint thyme combo is blended so masterfully that its sense of freshness in my opinion is what sets the Louis Vuitton dna. Even though it somehow fails for Louis Vuitton fragrances. Pasha is definitely one of the most sophisticated and elegant fragrances I know. And also it’s a classic chypre and a classic fougere at the same time. It’s a chypre with mandarin instead of bergamot. I’m glad I bought it. I got it for €55 in Italy. I’ve complained about the longevity before it’s not very strong. I still think so but then again maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be.

I finally got my hands on an original formula Pasha (rounded 80's logo, box is silver-edged black panel/gold-lettered panel bisecting the twisting gold ribbon around the box). It's amazing the difference between original and post IFRA oakmoss-murdering restriction Pasha. I love the same things about both of them, but the current formulation is just like the original but with the beastly oakmoss trimmed down to a shadow if it's former self, making it more of a classic soapy fougere. I think this actually helps the caraway and coriander become more noticeable, which is also a very good thing. The oakmoss wallop of the original formulation makes it a far warmer fragrance. In the same collection the current formulation would be the warm-weather option with the original becoming the better cool-weather option. Alternatively they'd make a great workday morning/evening application pairing as the original would work quite well as an "intense" flanker for the current formulation. You can still find vintage bottles for reasonable prices, and if you like the current formulation, you will not regret seeking out the vintage juice. Same goes if you kind of like the current but wish it had more punch.

@Thatbwoy the BBC News and shepherd's pie references are funny but I have to disagree. This is not a sensible older man fragrance at all. The fragrances in that category would be Grey Vetiver and TDH for example. This one is more casual than those. You would only consider this to be for older sensible men if you are super young and like wearing One Million or Invictus. This is a modern fougere that has been refined. The main vibe it gives off is that of a clean, groomed masculine guy without being old; it's not like Chanel Antaeus or Kouros for example. It doesn't smell the same but it has the same character as Dior Homme 2020; that of a confident clean man without being overpowering. It has that clean aspect from smelling like men's shaving foam, in a very very sophisticated way. In many ways this can be compared to the blue fragrances of today which have the showergel aspect. This of course being more masculine and certainly not generic. This is an easy to wear scent for day to day use or office use. It can absolutely fit into the category of modern scents; it's only that there may be people who recognise it from having smelled it some time ago.

I finally got my hands on a bottle and honestly I’m wearing it more than I imagined. First off, this is a mature frag so 30+. Upon first spray I noticed that it has a real striking resemblance to John Varvatos vintage. Except where JVV turns tobacco, this one turns greener and kinda skanky. There is BO note that sorta rides along but it’s not too strong and eventually brightens up. Honestly, I love it and feel that it is under rated. It’s fresh and inviting! Cartier makes top of the line fragrances and this is one of my favorites. This really should not be worn too casually. Works best dressed up. This sorta has me thinking I can trade off my RL safari because this does exactly what safari wanted to do but with lasting peer and a less synthetic feel. Scent 8/19 Bottle 10/10 Longevity 8/10 (lasted on me from 7:00 am until end of work day) Sillage 9/10 ( granted I oversprayed, but I could smell this floating around me ALL DAY) I would say 4 sprays is plenty. Maybe one to the chest, one on each arm and one back of neck. Age 30+ Season: any Worth a try if you mature or classic scents like safari, tom ford noir, JVV, Tsar, Antaeus.

"I didn't get where I am today without making enemies", so says the man who wears Pasha de Cartier. Stoic, impassive, invincible, but his power is like the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. Other men call you 'Sir' more often, getting out of your way apologetically and the women smile at you knowingly. Is this just the mystique of Pasha going to my head or an actual effect of this amazing scent? Pasha opens with an extremely true to life lavender note and in a light-hearted enough way. But as the mint comes in, so does the serious and resolutely masculine nature of this fragrance. There is not even a hint of sweetness or good humour and I like it that way. The coriander and anise in the heart are a nod to the Ottoman Muslim Empire which inspired the scent, but unlike say, vintage Bel Ami, the spices here are not overpowering. They simply add depth and character. The base is warm and sensual, oakmoss anchoring the patchouli and sandalwood which comes over as a dark brooding incense. As much as this fragrance reminds me of others, I am a sucker for mystique. A lord in an ancient empire? Yeah why not, I can live with that.

An crisp, clean aromatic fougere with the traditional structure as you'd expect from a 90s scent. The lavender is quite prominent and nicely blended, as are the woods in the base. Pasha is very much on a par with Safari by Ralph Lauren. Instead of the Caribbean spices, it uses mint and wraps the fougere accord around that. Others have rightfully drawn similarities with the now discontinued VC&A Tsar and YSL's Jazz. I would also extend the Venn diagram to overlap with Boucheron Pour Homme and Cerruti 1881. I am not sure how 'mossy' Pasha is in 2020, but formulations from about five years ago when I last wore this scent were OK. Pasha is not a projection monster or as long-lasting as one might expect of modern day ambrox chemical bomb, but long lasting and acceptable enough for the average working day. It's not a skin scent by any means. All in all a traditional aromatic fougere available at ridiculously good prices if you know where to look. A surprisingly low-lying scent. Beware of the flankers: stick to the original Eau de Toilette.

This has been my pair of jeans over the past year. It may not be in your best outfit or favorite clothes section.Yet it has been the clothing or parfum in this case that you have worn the most. This is stunning. I keep stressing this point to whover wants, or cares to read: Jacques Cavallier Belletrud is a genius at creating water or liquid as an aroma texture. I keep finding this "water texture" in his work.I just cant explain why I dont find it in other even "aquatic" labeled parfumes. If you own two or more of his creations wear them back to back and pay attention. The one I have been enjoying recently is [IL'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense]. There is something about Pasha that goes on so smooth, and just keeps you invigorated. Not in a showergel or blue fragrance, but something watery. that still sets it apart from other similair fougeres. I'm realizing more and more why fougere style/genre is so classic, It just feels good, its a state of mind. Its that one pair of jeans you put on that signals to your body: "this is it"

Ok I had a fragrance addiction and I bought many in a short time mostly cheapies but then again this was on sale and I couldn't smell this so I'd have to blind buy it and since Opium made by Cavallier is one of my favourites I went ahead and bought it. First of all I found out that it smells to close to Ungaro Pour L'homme III which I had also blind bought and this one costs 3 times more. This is not a masterpiece like Opium but there's something really cool about it. The performance is quite bad considering the price. It should really perform like a Dior in this price range. This is better than Pour L'homme III but if I'd smelt both I wouldn't have bought either of them. With higher quality it would have been better. I'd say this has performance/longevity issues. Isn't the retail price on par with ysl and Dior? It shouldn't have performance issues really. Doesn't last. The scent is good though, today I compared it with my favourite Louis Vuitton which is immensite and I pretty much like Pasha more.

I am such a huge fan of Pasha and the Noir flanker. This is a rich, intoxicating piece of aromatic art - the rosewood, sandalwood and oakmoss combined with the mild spices and hints of patch are right up my alley. The lavender must be a relatively small component or exceptionally well matched as it usually smacks me in the face like a frying pan, and every note in this beauty is subtle and perfect. I get hours of longevity with a projection that held out much longer than I'd expected. This may have been aided by the summer temps, but I could not have been happier with it. The mint, caraway and lavender on top of the patch and sandalwood (two of my favorite notes in anything) make a delicious and unique combination. Because I own this and Noir, I've opted to make this the Fall/Winter scent due to it's heavier wood and spice notes and Noir the Spring/Summer thanks to it's citrus opening, but truthfully either could easily be year-round scents. Thanks, Cartier - and Jacques, for this gem.

The only Cartier fragrance I knew, until now, was Santos, which I used to wear in the late 80's. Now I blind bought Pasha, based on positive reviews and on the fact that Jacques Cavallier is the nose. I love it. It's very complex and reminds me of several fragrances from the early 90's and the 80's. To my nose, it starts very green, like the aromatic or fougere notes from an 80's or even 70's fragrance. Something like Polo Green, Tsar, Paco Rabanne PH, etc. The predominance of these notes is brief, just one or two minutes. Then it smells like a mixture of Jazz with Montana PH (the original one) with Carolina Herrera PH; I mean, it reminds me of several famous perfumes from the late 80's and early 90's. But the green notes are still present and even get predominant from time to time, especially if I go outdoors. I don't see a similarity between Pasha and Safari (which I love, BTW), but maybe my memory is failing. Edit: now I feel the similarity with Safari. It's in the dry-down!

Last summer I found a near empty bottle of this at the gym. Just enough for a few sample wearings. Unmistakably old-school from the first spray. The green facets are what I noticed first but I do get the sweat, like a legit palpable impression of skin with a layer of sweat, not dripping though. Which would technically tie in to the BO references. But I freaking love this fragrance. Those same "stinky, sweaty" aspects for me are what makes this otherwise easy wear, a little daring and real. Imo this fragrance is so well done. Something about it gives it an edge and a real sense of ..presence. And it smells better and better the more it dries down. It has a class about it that calls to mind images of a well dressed and groomed man. It's got sex appeal too. I'm so late to this fragrance. I wonder how long or if I would've ever discovered it had I not found that bottle in the locker that day. Classic gentleman. This is my kind of fragrance. Instant love.

Although there's something of the mainstream about Pasha de Cartier I found it to be a magnificent fragrance definitely reminiscent of Ralph Lauren Safari. The opening is fresh but then oddly soured by something almost unpleasant. I don't know what this note is? it could be a combination of the oakmoss and coriander which for a fleeting moment gives the impression Pasha may develop into a scrubber. Thankfully it doesn't... in fact after an hour or two the dry down is sublime, understated, masculine, fresh, woody with a spicy oriental nature. I mainly get mandarin, soft sandalwood with a hint of labdanum, lavender and caraway. My girlfriend commented that I smelled great while quite a distance away so although it doesn't seem like it... this thing projects. Longevity is superb really it lasted for hours on my skin and just got better and better. I'm a late comer to this fragrance but better late than never, nothing spellbinding just a solid fragrance.

Dear Reader, Wow, I feel so happy and let me tell you why . After most of my teen years that I have been trying to use this fragrance ,Pasha didn't like me much then but now that im a full grown adult it smells wonderful on me now !, I guess this perfume was telling me " No Minors", but now I have been accepted by Pasha and he's going into my "soon to buy list ". By itself it's very aromatic, chic, manly and sexy, one of those you cant really put your finger on it but has a unique character to it, I recommend this gentlemen that like a assertive, fresh sophisticated adult male scent that can be worn anywhere and anytime since its very attractive to the nose. On me now as a grown man, my body chemistry brought out the lavender and wood notes with that "extra something" that I fancy very much that's refined and a little coquette, I have found a very good day perfume for my male collection and will shopping it for it soon .

When did it start for you? The love for frags that is. Do you remember a time that you couldn't get a fragrance out of your mind, you can even remember the scenery from the scent. You remember being taken aback by the compliments and deep down you smiled if not outwardly. The scent that does that for me is actually Safari from Ralph Lauren that is now discontinued. I don't own this and I would covet the opportunity to purchase an original 30 year old bottle. So, when I smelled Pasha it was reminiscent of this first love. In its own right it is good, spicy and masculine. Do I own better frags than this and is there better? Yes. But do they have as much history and meaning for me? Very very few. For anyone looking for a starter spicey fougere with a strong track record this is a safe bet. For the collector, it fits. For me there is one crown jewel missing so if anyone has this please hit me up. 4/5

Reference classic fougere with a modern minty mandarin orange touch! French opulence in a bottle! Not regal smelling but fit for a business tycoon and playboy like Bernard Tapie. This is not a screamer but if you apply it right you will be rewarded with a more than decent longevity and moderate projection. Few sprays in the little dimples on the side of the neck around the collar bone and on the chest. Maybe a few little sprays behind the ears or in your hair and longevity isn't an issue. All the notes come together around the lavender mandarin orange minty structure. The lavender/mandarin orange becomes powdery and gives off a peachy/apricot vibe in the best way possible. Smells pretty wealthy, and although there is no civet listed i get a little bit of that clean civet that is also present in Amouage Gold Man which steers the composition in a bit of a oriental direction. Highly recommended!👍

As the summer has arrived, I've been wearing Pasha more and more and as much as I loved it in the cold weather, it is so so much better in warm weather. Over 20°C it starts to push off of my skin and becomes brighter and more vibrant. Still a lavender/oakmoss bomb that smells similar to Tsar and Safari (more oakmoss than those two though), I'm now getting vibes of Drakkar Noir although it is less playful and more gentlemanly smelling. Pasha is one of those scents that could easily be a signature scent; it smells fantastic year round and has the kind of smell that could work with jeans and a tee, a button down and some slacks or even a suit and tie. At its price at discounters it is an absolute steal. If your bottle of Tsar runs out and you don't want to pay the discontinued prices or you don't want to pony up for a Cosmair-era Safari, look no further than Pasha!

Barbershop fragrance fans who were disappointed YSL discontinued Rive Gauche should stand up and rejoice Pasha is still in existence! Pasha is a bit more "spicy" and "dirty" than Rive Gauche but they share a lot of similarities in my opinion. It doesn't break the barbershop mold but it does stand out among others and is still modern. This is 100% class and gentleman and is not your everyday "blue" or "office" fragrance. You can easily pull this off as an office scent but it will definitely make you stand out (if that's your thing). I get around 6+ hours which is ok....I wish it would project a little further with better longevity but that's being nit-picky. Overall I absolutely adore Pasha and hope they don't butcher this one too much as the years go on!! Cheers!

The caraway note is actually the bomb. So even though I understand the other dude... I think the caraway makes this better. And I've been liking it more and more. It's got a certain Jacques Cavalier refinement. I guess I did get bothered by it one day and also the strong labdanum but since then I've been liking it more because I was like "it really doesn't work that well for warm weather." when I knew it didn't really work for winter either. This really is perfect for fall and spring and that makes it cool. So yeah it's got a certain Cavalier refinement along with this quite nasty caraway note which is blended masterfully. Pasha is a blind buy that I've been liking more and more. Without the caraway it would have been so generic though.

Pasha is what Humphrey Bogart smelled like while making eyes at Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca, so saying this is barbershop akin to getting doused with Clubman at Sal's on the corner is quite misleading. Pasha is barbershop only in the sense that it bears not even a molecule of resemblance to the nightclubbed metro scents that proliferate today's marketplace. Pasha is refined masculinity and entirely decadent, an unmistakable statement of good taste and confidence. It is gentle yet still evokes a power edge, as in, I won't bite you . . . too hard. Two sprays on my chest. Out the door. Women lose it for this stuff on a well-dressed and upright gentleman. Classy masculine energy refined and bottled. That's Pasha.

This is my favorite old school man-scent. It’s balanced between heavy and light, fresh and dark just perfectly. The opening has that traditional lavender/mint/citrus fresh burst, very quickly blended into spicier elements of the mid notes. Subtle anise and caraway rise in profile, making this a true oriental while never becoming aggressive. The drydown is beautiful as all the previous notes linger on mixed with patchouli and moss, giving it that classic masculine core. Sandalwood lends its soft, exotic touch throughout and ties everything together magically. Granted, some will not enjoy this type of scent, but Pasha is an excellent “gateway” into the world of older masculine fragrances. Don’t be afraid!

Sometimes, people don't understand the propose of this fragrance...for me, Pasha is more than a classic scent, is also about memories, feelings, sensations...give him a chance, use 5 times or more and wait for the drydown...so amazing! Smells like power, refined and splash personality! Many people says that the lavender is oldfashioned, i don't think so...safari tried to copy, but is diferent...this is in other level, i can't explain...is more well done...i never repeat a fragrance, but this is different...i'm going to my 3o bottle (100ml). I'm not an older guy, im 22. My girl just loves this, its my signature! When i use another fragrance, her humor goes down! Rsrsrs... The best of the Cartier house!

"A classy fragrance" is my first thought when I smell Pasha. It is quite well put together with just the right mixture of spices to carry your mind off to a distant land. I also own and love Safari and IMO there is a 25% similarity, nothing more. Safari takes a leathery, slightly rugged course, while Pasha remains elegant through and through. Pasha is versatile; you can rock this with a nice suit on formal occasions, or spritz some on with your polo shirt and boat shoes on a sunny day. Heck, just apply with t-shirt and jeans. You're bound to turn some heads. Both Pasha and Safari are legends in the genre and for good reason. And both are worth owning if you're into this style of fragrance. Grade: A

Glad I waited to review this fragrance. When I first got it several months ago, it was unwearable. The spices came off like cumin, so strong BO odor...but I loved everything else about it. Very barbershop, mossy, and spicy...right down my wheelhouse. About 4 months of sitting, that BO has transitioned into more of a spice. This is a strong mature scent...I can't see anyone below 35 appreciating this. It has always performed very well, about 9 to 10 hours with very good projection for the first 3 to 4 hours. What I did today though, is mix this with Declaration, where the spices come off as cloves. What a beautiful blend of old skool barbershop fragrances!

Blind bought this a year ago and now it's finally time to review it! Back when I first sprayed Pasha, I immediately fell in love with this scent. The combination of mint, oakmoss and caraway (the main three notes that I get) is outstanding and very unique! At the same time it's quite sad that they don't make fragrances like this nowdays. Pasha is a confidence giving scent for a real gentleman who knows who he is - a gentleman. I give a couple sprays of this whenever I want to fell classy. Highly recommend every fragrance enthusiast to check this one out! Bottle design: 10/10 Smell: 10/10 Performance: 8.5/10 Versatility: 8.5/10

After a gap of about 20 years, and on the spur of the moment, I finally reached for my forgotten bottle of Pasha which I bought a couple of years ago but got buried among my collection. I was expecting a quaint visit down memory lane and nothing more. Man, was I wrong! From the moment the first spray hit my chest and the scent wafted up my nose, I suddenly remembered how much I used to enjoy this cologne and why Cartier named it Pasha! It's beautiful, elegant, warm and very rich. If you love the classics like Eau Sauvage, Egoiste or Armani Pour Homme, do yourself a huge favor and (re)acquaint yourself with this gem.

1st impressions. The opening is amazing!! It doesnt last long but that initial blast is gorgeous. Settles down quickly into an elegant slightly powdery floral/green radiating scent. There is a very Drakkar underlying thing going on...However this is sooo much better than Drakkar Noir. I assume its the lavender that reminds you of DN. This is a mans scent. This is very masculine. It is a classic scent but its stood the test of time.. Easily worn in the here and now!! I see no reason you couldnt wear this on any occasion in any season. Summer may be pushing it.. But I really don't think so. Great stuff!

Some really strange reviews on this... especially recent ones. This is a manly fresh fragrance that doesn't rely on citrus. It gives off that clean-cut type of vibe. It's a scent you would use if you want to smell fresh but serious. This is also timeless, you will not smell old if you wear this. However, it does come across as quite masculine so I don't think it would suit teenagers. I also don't think it would suit a scruffy kind of look. It doesn't need a suit and tie but the smell evokes notions of a well groomed man. Performance is very good, both projection and longevity.

There's something magical about this. I tried it on while visiting a mall in Denver and was intrigued...I kept smelling my arm throughout the day. When I got a full bottle, I enjoyed it for a while and then put it away for a few months. Now trying it again, I'm charmed all over again. Yes, it's a classic barbershop scent with the brilliant lavender, hints of anise and mint, and woody drydown. But the seamlessly well blended nature of it, the natural feel, the classiness, and that traditional but modern magical vibe...I love it. Scent: 9 / Sillage: 7 / Longevity: 7

I've been sleeping on Cartier for far too long. Never liked it on the test strip, but then you're really only getting the opening, and it's not always where fougere's shine brightest. The dry down on this thing is very good , thoroughly addictive. Really surprised by this, I might even prefer it to the parfum. Quite a magical thing. Niche qualities. The only fougere I'd class as date night friendly. Overall very impressive , insanely good 9.5/10 Update: if you took the sweetness and oud out of haltane you'd be close to this dna. Clasic elivated barbershop fougere

99% old school mossy older gentleman's frag. Not for the younger generation of users, you'll won't like it. But this is a classic in it's own right and those of who knows will know the Edt. All the flankers started from the great nice bottle, simple and elegant and i remembered it was one of the nicest classiest looking bottle design when it came out. I was in my late teens then and Cartier is a classy prestigious brand. Give this a test at any stores and give it time to develop on your skin. It's a great scent for any gentleman from their 30s and up

Pasha has a very addictive effect on me, the soft floral sourness is like candy to my nose. It could almost be a flanker of Tsar, it has a lot of similarities to it, a similar powdery sourness, and a similar lasting power.You will still smell some of the notes on the place you applied it after you took a shower and didn't specifically scrub that area pretty thoroughly.As far as comparisons between the two go, Pasha is a little more playful, while Tsar is more serious.Light Vs. "Dark". An old school scent, but a timeless one.

There is not much that I can add to what has already been said about this beauty. So, I will give my experience with the newest formulation. With 4-5 sprays (two on my neck and 2-3 under my shirt) I get 8-10hrs longevity and good projection for 3-4 hours, not a room filler but the sillage is fantastic. Pasha is a versatile, year round scent suitable for all occasions (adjust the number of sprays accordingly). Well worth giving a sniff.

با سلام دومین کار شیک و عالی و پرفروش از برند کارتیه رایحه ای بسیار خوشبو و جذاب دارد و به نوعی نزدیک به ادکلن جاز ایو ساین لارن میباشد و با تفاوتی خاص که معنای مشابهـت نمیدهـد کلاسیک و شیک مردانه و جذاب دوام و پخش بوی مناسب تلخ و مقداری گرم دوست داستی و دلنشین در زمانی که لانچ شد و حتی تا کنون جزو کارهـای پرفروش و مورد استقبال میباشد با احترام مهـرداد Very good & very nice Longevity: Scent:10/10 Uniqueness:9/10 OVERALL:10/10

WOW - I acquired a vintage 90s version from an estate sale. I had never heard of it. I have to say it is fantastic and truly unisex. A man wearing this would smell so sexy and delicious. Is it for women too? I love the citrus opening. Living in Florida, I love citrus scents (big favorite is Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune for it's grapefruit.) But this Pasha is lovely. Not fruity or sweet either. A wonderful concoction.

Wore Paco Rabanne Pour Homme yesterday and today I've been spraying Pasha on my right wrist where Paco Rabanne was.... it still smells like Rabanne. This does prove that Paco Rabanne has great performance but also proves that Pasha has terrible performance. I repeat. The retail price for this fragrance is too high for it to perform like this. I keep forgetting why I don't wear this more often... it's the performance.

Meşe Yosunu ve Lavanta'nın muhteşem birleşimi. Yıllar önce kullanmıştım ve etkisi aynı. Olgunluk, karakter ve zenginlik. Tam bir 40-50 yaş parfümü. Zayıfladığında bile bu özelliklerini kaybetmiyor. Tam bir klasik. Parfüm severlerin dolabında mutlaka bulunması gereken parça. Parfüm konusunda ne kadar yeni ve güzel çalışmalar yapılsa da bazı parfümler her zaman bir adım önde. Gerçekten bir paşa ile karşı karşıyayız.

Oakmoss, lavender and sandalwood, I will forever love Cartier's masterpiece, Pasha. Incredibly elegant and classy, this isn't going to be for everyone, this is specifically for Gentlemen. Performance is excellent. I get the Safari similarity, but Safari from 15 years ago, not the current formulation. Memories from when I first discovered Cartier's fragrances, this, Declaration and Musk PH, an incredible house.

Clean, wood, spicy. I heard this was similar to another favorite of mine, Ralph Lauren Safari. It is, and I love it. I'll have to do a side-by-side comparision at some point, but for now, I'll just say this is excellent and doesn't come off as dated to my nose. It smells proper masculine. Also, I already have the Parfum, and I'm glad to see the two are truly related as this DNA is still present in the Parfum.

hands down the most non offensive fragrance that is subtle yet it can make heads turn when you walk past by people. to me it smells like you have made it in life. It smells like rich people that is classy, sophisticated, and not a snobby fragrance. I am pretty sure that it also smells like the casino floor of Wynn Las Vegas because i used to play there all the time for hours at a time.

Spicy/fresh/sporty/masculine scent that only men who confidently rock Mullet's can pull off. Sure this fragrance made way for cheap clones every middle schooler would bathe in a decade after it's release (AXE, BOD, Tag, Ect..) However, this is still a great fragrance in my honest opinion. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to finish my 6 pack and tend to my El Camino! 8/10

Minty with slight sweetness provided by the mandarin. Super pleasant aromatic. Lavender and wood. Very elegant and gentlemanly. This could be worn any time of year with confidence. Day or night. I see it more as a dressed up fragrance because it's a sophisticated scent, but you could literally make this work with any style of dress. Really versatile!

I love this fragance, LOVE IT, i remember smelling it back in the 90s on my dad and asking him for a bottle. elegant, refined, classy, sophisticated yet exotic fragrance. It's perfect for a suave businessman type. My dad eventually bought me this beautiful fragrance for my birthday and I cherished it for many years. I highly recommend it.

I realy like the barbershop genre.. but this one i find truly special! Ok back in the day it might have been stronger and all that.. but for me this is a true 80's powerhouse barbershop scent like back to the future with Marty and Doc... man does this smell good! This will always stay in my collection and rotation :-) Thank you Cartier!
