Pasha de Cartier Edition Noire

Excellent fragrance. Yes it is somewhat “generic” for Cartier, but it smells great. It opens with a citrus aroma that is still heavier than a freshie imo. It quickly evolves into something along the lines of Gucci Guilty or Gucci Guilty Black and then evolves again into a spicier version of Guilty. After about 20 minutes it is almost a dead on Azzaro Elixir Pour Homme minus the berry notes. I love Azzaro Elixir. On the dry down it smooths out and has a Lacoste L 12.12 or Armaf Niche Platinum vibe, but creamier. Edition Noir is not groundbreaking, but it is an extremely well blended scent.. crowd pleasing.. and a great all occasion juice. It has more class than others in this vein imo. I am however, not surprised with people saying they’re not impressed. It’s a “mainstream” Cartier scent to my nose. In its defense, not every fragrance from high end designer houses needs to be revolutionary or “niche” in the sense that it breaks away from what the average person thinks is a great smelling cologne. Despite the spice it is very smooth and very like able. I can see it being casual or semi formal, since it might be a bit too sweet for a “serious” situation. Its not very floral to my nose, more aquatic than floral.. with sweetness and warmth that would be great in the cooler months. I’m not a fan of floral men’s fragrances, so I’m very happy this isn’t. It’s not mature imo, but not a high school scent either. There’s other fragrances out there that are similar, but I can see this being the older, classier brother of those. Not synthetic or harsh. Not a club banger.. though I might wear it to the club. Very versatile. Ages are college and up, day to night, casual to semi formal. Great for a date, maybe even work, or really any occasion you can think of that you’d want to smell better than your typical running to the grocery store juice. I can see the ladies loving this, and I can see it being a possible signature scent, but more mature noses might shy away from this one. Not overly masculine, and not a syrupy fruit drink. Projection is good and longevity is great. I can’t find anything I dislike about this fragrance. I really like bordering love this scent. It’s probably one of the best all occasion scents in my collection. Overall.. amazing juice. Update: the dry down is amazing. A smoother Azzaro Elixir pour Homme with citrus instead of berries. I love this fragrance.

This fragrance is a great choice for a late night out on the town, and shines more as a fragrance for those looking to be discovered rather than announced. It's overwhelmingly powdery for the first 30 minutes, and then becomes a bit mellower and sophisticated as the other notes become more pronounced, turning into some kind of abstraction, something illusory. After the dry down you’re left with a complex and interesting citrus, cedar, mint, and powdery fragrance that will have you & others detecting the evolving components throughout the night. Personally, I don’t get the pepper or amber notes, but the complements are sufficient. As far as longevity it’s a bit on the shorter side. If you like to project you might find yourself unhappy with it after about 4 hours, whereas you might feel that’s really when it comes into its own as a more subtle fragrance if that’s what you prefer. If you’re planning to be out for a long time, you might consider bringing your bottle with you to spray again a bit later that evening. I often wear this fragrance to Espace or Barcadia. Overall it’s a subtle yet great 8.0/10 evening fragrance whose components never get boring. Unless, you know; you’re into that whole Yale thing.

I simply ADORE this fragrance, i have tried all the versions of Pasha de Cartier, and at some point had all of them in my collection, and this one i have to say is my favorite, i like it even more than the original 1992 version , the sport and the Fraicheur Menthe one. Its classy, manly, refined and elegant but at the same time modern, i love the opening and the drydown, the citrus, spicy and woody combination and also the fresh vibe i get from this is the heart of this Cartier liquid jewel. The bottle is beautiful also. The Pasha line never dissapoints me. I dont consider this as many others have stated here that this fragrance is "generic" and "mainstream", i disagree with that, if you want generic go with Bleu de Chanel or the vulgar One Million and stuff like that.... This scent can be used with a suit and tie or a nice shirt and jeans, and the age group 25 and up..... Sillage, Longevity and Projection is GOOD, but not great, it lasts on my skin for about 6 hours... I give this one a 9/10.........

nice piece... fruity and delicious. Gentle , classy and unique water. Well shaped in the meaning that the notes of ingredients above are not able to visualise the real touch oft it. I get more flower mix from it on a semi- warm rainy sumer day. I bet there is no mint, but instead may be a almost unnoticeable piece of vanilla. Just the citruces and the cedar are not offensive or vibrant. Delicious juice! I want to bite my hand :)))) There is no possibility to hate it as a man or woman. Not an offensive fragrance bomb, but capable enough to defend your clothes from cigarettes or cigar after-smell for example. NOIR?! No idea what is the meaning of this... I must perhaps turn off the lights and see what happens .Hi-hi! the fragrance is so sexy to me and 100% i will find somebody attracted from it to investigate its dark side. :) One more thing ... I really have no idea how somebody can create a certain fragrances , that starts smelling after a minute or two. Cartier does the job!!! UAU! :))))))))))

The sideline is lightly finished while inheriting the genes of the Pasha. The name "noir" almost misleads you, but this is not a heavy, sweet fragrance. If I were to give it a color, I would imagine blue, the blue of the ocean. It feels like the original Pasha mixed with the scent of the sea and less sweet. The base movement is the original Pasha itself, but the opening is young and airy with a predominance of sea scent and violet. I didn't even think of it as an evening scent. This feels like the vibrancy of a sunny spring to summer day. I had imagined an enveloping sweetness, heaviness, and thickness, The actual pasha edition noir is a light, slightly bitter, casual fragrance. It is strange to imagine it from the appearance of the bottle and the name, but since it reminds me a little of Armani eau de nuit, I think it is an interpretation as another noir.
