Metallic. Addictive.
OHOTNIK1975 – :
Love this scent for warm spring or summer days. As mentioned previously, by @eamaccready, it has a woodsy vibe, which I really like, in addition to the citrus freshness. I find this scent has a crispness to it which I appreciate on hot days.
I’d classify it as a true unisex although I see others here would disagree.
It doesn’t have great longevity but certainly lasts more than just a few minutes on me. Can’t say I’m too upset about the longevity since, in warm weather, I kind of like to freshen up fairly frequently with a new application. I guess it might not be the most economical use of perfume but worth it to me.
lavina73 – :
Saw this in a local department store. Someone ordered, then returned it so the store was basically stuck trying to resell. I was permitted to sample the fragrance and within a matter of minutes, neither I nor the lady working the counter, could detect it on me. No kidding, not even a trace was noticeable on my skin!
ataman4ik – :
This smells very soapy to me… like dish soap, actually. I can’t be certain, because I don’t have any on hand..but I’m pretty sure it’s the original Palmolive (the green one) that I’m smelling on my wrists.
It’s not terrible… it definitely smells clean. 😉 … It’s just not what I’m looking for in a perfume. It’s far too cool and green for my taste. If you like fresh, cool, green scents, this is definitely one you should try.
I’m not sure about it being unisex. It’s pretty feminine, as far as I’m concerned. I could see some men getting away with this, but I think it leans more to the feminine side and wouldn’t appeal to men as much.
dzolla – :
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.
bili – :
Not to throw a wrench in the mostly positive reviews, but I honestly think it just smells like heavy musky metallic baby powder. It hurts my sinuses whenever I breathe it in.
metq – :
ok blend. It has such terrible performance that I have to mark it down. I strongly suggest you try it on your skin first. You may well spend a lot of money on something neither you or anyone else will ever smell!
narmatova – :
superb fragrance. i wish it lasts longer
glebovamari – :
Great scent in which I still use from time to time to this very day. I have a mini bottle from 2010 and it smells so fresh and lively. I also have a newer concentree version and it doesn’t smell or last as long as my mini. Once again another fragrance company messing with the quality of their juice unfortunately which will lead me on a search for a vintage bottle. I suggest anyone look for an older bottle.
hurricane – :
SOOO fresh and a tad masculine, but I liked it so much it inspired me to get ‘Eau de certier rose’ too
This will be perfect for warm weather.
boubpooli – :
I tried this from a tester at Macy’s and it disappeared off my skin within what felt like 5-7 minutes. I literally couldn’t smell even a faint hint of it after those 5-7 minutes. I can’t really review the fragrance entirely because it disappeared so fast I don’t even remember what it smelled like, I just remember finding it unpleasant at first then after 2 minutes it smelled nice but was already fading away and after it was completely gone. Maybe the bottle went bad since it sits out in the light all day?
Assuffgaf – :
Aquarius_Moon – thanks for the advice. I was about to order this week a 200 ml flask of Eau de Cartier.
I will not do it any longer. Thanks for sharing the info
B1ooD – :
The idea of Eau de Cartier appealed to me on every level: I like unisex, cologne-type of scents; the sleek bottle enchanted me so much I was willing to like whatever it contained; and I’ve never quite cured myself of being a Cartier fan girl. It needed to be no more than okay-ish to be a huge hit with me.
What it is instead is yet another Iso E Super concoction. The concentration doesn’t seem sky high, but the thing definitely is there and defines the entire fragrance. On the rest of the notes, I can’t comment much, because IES ruins perfumes for me so thoroughly that once I home in on it I can’t smell anything else. So this is really just a note to fellow co-sufferers to be cautious.
emaifatenit – :
I was expecting a typical citrus-bergamot-lavender EDC, but was pleasantly surprised by Eau de Cartier. This is a “stronger” EDC, which I attribute to the yuzu and coriander notes.
The open is a lovely bitter yuzu note, which packs a punch that stays with you throughout the evolution of this scent. There’s a hint of bergamot mixed in there which gives it some freshness, and a bit of spice from the coriander that makes it almost peppery and a perfect complementary note. I can’t say this enough, it’s an open you’ll remember.
The florals then come through, primarily violet and lavender, before evolving into a light cedar and patchouli drydown.
Cartier has taken your traditional EDC, added a spicy kick to it, and delivered a thoroughly original take on a classic citrus aromatic.
That being said, if you’re looking for the traditional EDC, look elsewhere. This fragrance is anything but traditional, and is in a league of its own.
Longevity is average, I get around 5 hours on my skin (excellent for an EDC), and this is a skin scent on me.
uxl983Unlogrere – :
Eau de Cartier is perfectly blended: citrus, florals, and woods– but everything light and “airy.” It’s peasant and invigorating. It blends with your own chemistry and with your own natural scent adding a clean and fresh fragrance with a delicate sweetness.
The best time for me to spray this on is right after my morning shower. It helps it blend into my own chemistry.
Ahhhh, it’s perfect!
smirnoff.ost – :
Many years ago I had a friend who oversprayed Eau De Cartier and I have to admit I was jealous. I didn’t care to smell very nice in those days though I would not have rejected a spray or two of Cartier. Years later this fragrance has become a sort of starting point for my newly discovered passion. My fragrance lust rather…
I absolutely Love this scent and Concentree is just as brilliant. Cartier smells like perfection – an absolute must have. I will more often layer this with another scent than to just wear it alone. The notes are a great compliment to some other fragrances I think
Sektor2101 – :
This is my signature scent. The best unisex fragrance I have ever worn. I get so many great compliments. The bottle I think is very pretty, and the juice is very fresh and it’s longevity stays with me all day. It last on my clothes as well. The whole cartier line is just amazing.
Love love!!!
qazs – :
I wore this steadily for about three years and loved its cozy, fresh naturalness. I haven’t returned to it in a while but to my nose, it was almost entirely benzoin; like sweet water, soft maillette lavender and a crunchy, crisp benzoin.
It always had a slightly brisk, ashen feel to it and I liked that quality because I felt like while the violet note wasn’t prominent, they really captured the FEELING of smelling violet and that was the sensation.
I also find that I actually do like some fruity notes (up until the point of wearing “Eau”, I’d long thought fruity-florals would never appeal to me), as long as they’re the more pulpy, subtle asian fruits with a creamy, custardy kick, like yuzu and litchi.
If you’re looking for a fresh linen, clean scent that doesn’t smell like a car freshener but does remind you of the benzoin, elementary school cleaners lodged in your oldest memories, then you’ll probably enjoy “Eau de Cartier”. Come to think of it, I recently wore “CK Be” for a little while and can see the similarities between the two, though “Be” is slightly balmier than crunchy, crisp “Eau de Cartier”.
zhes – :
I like to look back on old reviews from time to time just to check if I was completely off the mark or not? In this instance I think my original review below is pretty accurate and largely, I stick to those sentiments. One addition I will make is that the opening really does have a potent, fizzy, lemon note with all the extra bitterness of grapefruit… anyone familiar with Japanese cuisine will know as Yuzu.
Then it settles to the mildly white floral and violets affair which is pretty classy and does alright by me. I have a horrendous cold today and in truth can’t really smell much but the faint wafts I’m getting as I deliberately sniff myself are pleasant.

Fragrance Review For Eau De Cartier
Top Notes: Coriander Yuzu Bergamot
Middle Notes: Violet Leaves Lavender Violet
Base Notes: Cedar Wood Patchouli Musk Amber
Beautiful and very simple, airy, innocent refreshing and soothing fragrance. Perfume is like wine tasting to me. You drink it in, you savor it, you allow it to wear you for a while. This one really soothed me and relaxed me like a massage for my nostrils and sense of smell. This is a soft unisex fruity floral aromatic amber scent. It opens with citrus, fresh bergamot orange and some yuzu fruit. It’s a pick-me-up scent to wear in hot weather to keep you refreshed. It’s a bit like a fruitier 4711 or a more floral Florida Water. I thought with the name “Eau” (Water) it would be aquatic a la Davidoff Cool Water or Armani Acqua di Gioa/Gio but it’s not. It’s fresh as opposed to aquatic or watery. However it can still feel like something you wear to a pool, the beach, a summer seaside resort, and for a vacation or a cruise. It’s soft and inoffensive, sweet. On me the violet and lavender really worked their floral magic. Beautiful purple floral scents of distinct lavender and violet. They turn more aromatic as the fragrance begins to enter it’s dry down which is a musk and amber mainly amber aroma. Warm but soft amber. There’s very little in the patchouli department except for the leaf note (it’s a violet leaf note with green patch) and some woods at the end give it heft longevity sillage and all that good stuff. Easy to wear and well made fragrance. I will wear this in the summer. I love the Cartiers.
Huregosare – :
What a lovely scent!! It’s like Love Affair Homme Eisenberg for men but lighter and smoother with some citrus!! Oh, just a moment to stick my nose on my skin to feel it! Wait! Where did it go? I sprayed myself exactly twenty minutes ago!! Oh, where is it?
As you understood, this is a wonderful unisex fragrance, but the longevity and the projection are TERRIBLE, so weak, so poor!!
Do you know the Clinique Happy Clinique for men? Much much weaker and poorer. Its a pity, it is a good juice but useless. I cannot carry the bottle in order to spray me every 10-15 minutes.
дыня1997 – :
Not exactly truly original, it reminds me of a lot other perfumes I owned and liked, particularly of Shiseido Energizing and Omnia Amethyste. Also similar to My Queen Light Mist and the lovely Trussardi Jeans. Therefore, it does not exactly translate as masculine to me and I am the one who likes some masculine fragrances on myself.
Despite these supposedly lacking attributes, Eau de Cartier stuns with its appealing simplicity, tranquil disposition and subtle elegance and makes for a great, wearable and adaptable fragrance.
Airy, fresh yet warm scent with a main accent of urban yet rapturous violet and intriguing woody-balmy background complemented with a bit of zesty citrus.
Good staying power as well.
bigori – :
The first spray of this scent is refreshing due to the citrus notes and then the dry down is a nice skin scent, but what happens in between with the yuzu makes it more of a 2.5 on a scale of 1 to 5 for me.
Why? Yuzu to my nose has a fig note. It’s not cloying. Rather, it’s an oddly rotting smell that I detect whenever citrus and fig are blended in other scents and for some reason it is present in this for me. The only thing I can pin it to is the yuzu. I sure wish I could love it, though, because my bottle of Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Yuzu is also unwearable for me for the same reason. :/
aleracces – :
For sure, EDC is not the most unique product in the Cartier perfumary range, and I´m pretty sure that was not meant for this product. But for sure, EDC personifies all the brand values from the Cartier house: Tradition, heritage, equisity handcraft and Quality…when you smell EDC, you know that´s not a common citrus-aromatic Lemon Juice, as 1000 launched in the market in the last years.
In comparison to its competitors, this is really outstanding. These wet violet leaves, which seems to have been immersed in a lavender-spicy water for days smell wonderful, classy, posh and better than that all day Long, with an excellent projection for an aromatic cologne. Normally These ones in the market, you apply and you don´t have anything after 1 hour.
I really love EDC, for me it deserves to be in the Cartier Range and for me it´s always a delight to use it in spring-summer days.
we1sss – :
Spring in a bottle!!! 🙂 Powdery freshness that lighty flaunts it’s floral flair. Unisex and uplifting all the way. This fragrance sings, “I love Paris in the Spring time.”
VADIM 7 – :
I think the ones who posted negative reviews about this fragrance would need to take in mind that this “Eau de Cartier” in my opinion is a cologne to spray lavishly after a bath or shower, to relax and maybe getting ready to go to bed and have a pleasant essence while you sleep or after a morning shower in a regular day without the intention to impress anyone but just to feel comfortable and ready to do your errands in a weekend or a normal day at work. I think all the notes are well combined to give this sense of freshness and cleanness just for a peaceful night of sleep or regular normal day. I think Cartier has other fragrances much better of course more intended to impress in a date or special occasion, but nonetheless this one is a nice choice for those relaxing moments.
rozavk – :
I’m actually very surprised to read so many negative comments on this poor little soul of a fragrance! To each his own I guess but for me this a great go to when the weather is oppressively hot. I’ve worn it for years in the summer. I also kept reading the word cheap, interesting because I always felt pretty lux wearing this one. I’m not big on separating notes from fragrances but I would say its definitely clean for those times you don’t feel like wearing anything heavy. Natural and fresh is what I think and I do have to add somehow luxurious ??? I love it, it stays on for hours but extremely close to the skin. I get whiffs of it here and there as I move about during my day. I hope they keep making it and I would say, I don’t think its as expensive as it used to be nor as hard to find 🙂 Happy fragrancing :):)
valoghea2010 – :
Was ever so excited to receive my freshly ordered package of the 6.7 oz of this scent.
After skin testing it for a day here’s my impression– it’s perfectly unisex.
At first spray it’s that lemon cologne blast you’d expect from an Italian barber– I’m a woman, but I know that smell!
After it settles in for a couple of minutes, the citrus morphs into a very distinctly aromatic almost herbaceous musky lime.
It stays there for a long time before slowly morphing into the more subtle violet leaf with just a touch of cedar, and then disappearing.
I invested in this scent in high hopes of a more citrus/cedar/patchouli intermix, so I’m a bit disappointed that the cedar and patchouli are none existent to my nose. I also wish the scent was more long-lasting, especially for the price point its offered.
igor1777 – :
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.
stas19782009 – :
Despite the fact that I like Cartier, I couldn’t understand (or appreciate) this one. I had consumed a bottle of this in the past, but never felt amazed of what I was wearing. Just one of the below-average casual scents. The lavender destroyed it for me.
oleg_suchkov – :
Great smell, but very poor longevity and sillage!
My mother once had it, and I’d use it once in a while. At the beginning, I loved it, but then it bored me and I stopped wearing it. Completely unimpressive!
nhc203elipseskism – :
I like the concept. Its fresh like a minty breath of clean air. But one note in the dry down makes it a little weird. Its like peppercorn, leather, metal something that just smells off.
stas.ru – :
This fragrance is really disappointing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought that the brand CARTIER would only manufacture the best products to boast of like their precious and highly acclaimed watches.
It does not last over 1-2 hours on my skin.
Its opening note is tremendously light.
Breifly speaking, it s not worth at all having it!!!!!
Thixarimi – :
This is fresh smell of clean cotton on me and I love it a lot.
Jerichon – :
This may be the perfume you have when you aren’t really having a perfume.
It opens with citrus and violet leaf, meanders past a little pine and vanilla, then settles to a very soft and very short lived neutral scent.
These basenotes are a little cleverer than they seem, as the musk is lifted and balanced by something green and elusive, presumably the violet leaves.
However, it is also exceptionally short lived.
This perfume is pleasant enough, but I cannot for the life of me fathom why Cartier would make this the scent that carries the house name.
It is simply not distinct enough, individual enough, to carry the brand.
Especially a brand that has created some absolute modern masterpieces of quality…
Varermak – :
Starts of with a bang of sweet yuzu, bergamot and lavender freshness with a hint of metallic ozone. Don’t let this scare you, its actually fresh and exhilarating. It quickly settles to a nice slightly sweet smelling clean thats perfect for the office or during the day. While this kind of scent has been done many times, this one is nice. The dry down is a dry and woody violet, with barley a whisper of musk, amber and patchouli. Fresh and clean it smells expensive and sophisticated. Way more masculine than feminine. I scored a large spray for $28 on eBay, which is a steal. If you can get this on a deal its well worth it. Thumbs up.
vovchik0878 – :
Very few fragrances make me queasy, but this one did. Cucumber and coriander in salt water was what I got, with a whiff of violet. Oh dear.
sashatok12345 – :
Big. Cheap. Minty.
I guess not necessarily a bad thing if that’s what you’re looking for
Mogikan – :
Different take on the classic eau de cologne, this one without the neroli and orange blossom. The yuzu and violet leaf make it a very nice refleshing cologne with spicy twist to it with the coriander. Soft with moderate longevity. Even though it is considered unisex, I think it leans to toward masculine cologne.
Vurlekon – :
I quite love how metallic and sprightly this fragrance is. It opens with an eruption of stainless steel and sharp hints of purified air.
As it expands, like a flashing moment of white landscape, it reveals a hygienic, medicinal quality to it without being sterile or dull. Eau de Cartier is clouds in a bottle. Clean, fresh air you can wear. Not too much like other oxygen based or ozonic fragrances, though because it lacks the salty, aqua note so many of them have like Oxygene or some Hermes offerings.
I like to wear this fragrance when I need to feel a sense of stealth strength. When vitality and power are important to my pursuit. It’s a winning fragrance that takes people by surprise. Especially when worn by a woman.
It is also great to layer with overly fruity or forceful florals. For example: When combined with honeysuckle or orange blossom essential oils, Eau de Cartier facilitates an acceptable level of headiness by cutting the antagonistic heavyweight in half and sweeping away the excess.
Kolobok13 – :
This fragrance feels transparent! Super ozonic, spicy violet-citrus.
Very nice, great for summer.
ол – :
I just don’t understand. At Retail this stuff goes for 60.00-80.00 and IMO this is generic as they come. Citrus, Citrus, and more Citrus. Can we please get off the Citrus train. Don’t get me wrong, its a decent fragrance but at this price point Its not worth the performance. Everything about this cologne is below average. You can go to Rue 21 and Get CJ black and be just as satisfied and be 60.00 richer.
semerka336 – :
Nondescript and unmemorable. Another example of the many summer frags with so little that distinguishes any of them. Cartier did themselves no favours with this one. Good enough for spraying tired, overheated fractious children in the back of your car whilst stuck in a bank holiday traffic jam.
romyt – :
Uncredibely crisp and airy perfume. It must be yuzu that smells like yellow grapefruit. It’s quite bitter, but that bitternes makes it interesting. Finally scent that belongs to it’s category and all listed notes are noticable – citrus aromatic. And that’s exactly what it is. For some reason it reminds me of Scandinavia. 🙂
DreamSide – :
Fresh, light, cold, citric. More for men, but can be used as unisex for some people, I think I will give to by sweetheart to use.
grasmik.svetik – :
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.
TYTYRA – :
Well I think the opening of Yuzu is gorgeous. Very crisp and fresh though a bit delicate. Maybe too delicate. Dry down of Violet leaf is the main culprit for me here but I don’t like violet leaf much anyways. But even if you like Violet leaf, be warned that this a fragrance with very light sillage.
ксюня – :
Eau de Cartier is basically a “not a perfume” perfume. It smells like ozone, coriander and eventually, very faintly of violets.
I put this in the same category as Maurer Wirtz 4711.
Even though I am a lover of many “not a perfume” fragrances this one has just gone so far into inoffensive territory that it barely exists.
I can definitely see the appeal for very humid and/or tropical climates though. Perhaps in those temperatures this fragrance blooms into something more interesting.
kumanek – :
As a lover of violet notes I figured I’d like this and approached it with an open mind as my first experience of Cartier had not been to my taste I thought it was quite a brave and classy scent for the right guy.
This however is not really outstanding for me, it’s alright though, fresh opening and you do get the violet note which is not at all intrusive or sweet but for me creates more of a soapy neroli accord.
This changes into more of a recognisable violet smell as it settles on my skin after 20 mins or so. I get Cedar in there too which does complement the fresh composition all in all.
I’ll be honest it’s a tad on the boring side for me but not unpleasant if you like this kind of scent.
It reminds me a little of something like Mugler cologne but somewhat less green.
I was thoroughly impressed by the previous Cartier fragrance I tried in terms of sillage and longevity which were both huge! It might just be my skin but this was pathetically short lived.
alximik310 – :
Dull, hand-soapy and boring. Sillage is weak and it doesn’t last very long. I agree with others who say this is cheap but not cheap to buy.
Very disappointing!
7650711 – :
Masterpiece it is! I always felt like a filthy rich swiss lady when wearing it. Don’t ask me where I got swiss from!
levapovobre – :
Hats off to Cartier for creating such a masterpiece. Despite the naysayers, Eau de Cartier is by far one of the most fresh and stunning fragrances I’ve ever smelled. Although it was created 12 years ago, this juice continues to be a best seller among the wide range of choices available today. Eau de Cartier is a zesty and refreshing yet no aquatic scent, perfect for hot summer days or nights. An invigorating tonic made up mostly of yuzu, violet and cedar. What else could you ask for when it comes to fresh men’s fragrances? Hands down, a riskless blind buy.
tayga1970 – :
A crisp violet, I don’t get much more than the violet and violet leaves. It is inoffensive but I think there are much better violets out there. Balenciaga’s Paris is much warmer to my nose and a lot fuller, they seem to have done a lot more with a lot fewer notes. This smells like a perfume that should be worn by a no-nonsense highly paid business woman, and that’s not me. It didn’t last either, so that is always a “no” in my book.
andy-soy – :
Mens fragrance.Citrus zest,more like a deoderant smell.I don’t think i would like this scent on anyone. Just because it says cartier doesn’t mean it’s fabulouse. This is an example of rich name cheap smelling perfume.
Balabas – :
One of the freshest perfumes I’ve got for summer that doesn’t have coconut, that don’t have lemon and lime and also lacks jasmine…
It starts very nice with bergamot…and thats the only citrus there is…
Yozo and coriander – interesting cause I guessed zelleri…
Its as fresh together without any sweetnes as an ice cold sparkling water.
The two violet notes together with a toned down lavender is very soft , slightly sweeter and very wearable !
The base is even so sweeter and a lovely mix of 4 where the amber stands out the most, as it usually does on my skin !
Summer refresher heaven in a bottle and my new summer signature !
Only minus – its very faint like a cologne so you really have to spray a lot…but I dont mind cause its lovely !
AccubLepVep – :
A beautiful, clean violet scent. Only complaint is that it wears a bit sweet in the drydown; could be a bit more dry and crisp. Other than that, this is a real go to if you don’t know what to wear. Always appropriate.
StigeSeimeGoT – :
I had to go for the 6.7 oz it’s clean and simple almost reminds me if a sparking mineral water . It’s a great alternative to a aquatic in the warm weather .
maksimusv – :
I was remindedof this scent from long ago on a recent trip to Lush Cosmetics. I purchased their RETRIED hair conditioner and instantly knew I’ve smelled this before. For several weeks I just couldn’t place this very familiar scent. Finally, after weeks of use, it dawned on me; this was nothing other than eau de Cartier (or at least how I remembered it). I recalled how I enjoyed this heavily violet perfume. It was bright and fresh, sophisticated, yet had a casualness about it. Then I got pregnant and I could no longer tolerate these notes. I’m unsure if it was due to a body chemistry change, or my sense of smell, or my increasing sensitivity to scents, or perhaps it was a culmination of all these. Either way, I have been re-introduced to this scent. Although I wore it many times, I remembered how much more I preferred it on my husband. As a unisex fragrance, it is right on. It teeters the line between the masculine and feminine. For me, the sharper notes make this lean more towards a masculine scent. However, it is properly infused and softened by these great feminine notes. This fusion creates the perfect balance for the sultry, confident man. This is the type of scent a woman wants to wear to remind her of her man; very much like wearing his shirt, or spraying yours with his scent. For the right person, and chemistry, this scent is divine!
ktoispro – :
@ anna.023 – I also hate it when i am disappointed when receiving the wrong fragrance ! You could try Perfume Parlour Uk site as they have just released a smell alike of Eau de Cartier called Eau D Cart (Notes similar to that found in Eau De Cartier – they do ship overseas if you are not in the uk.
I have many of their fragrances (oils are strongest and their EDP sprays) and find they are mostly on point and i am having a vintage Femme recreated for me by their manufacturer !
I love Perfume Parlour as their fragrances help me to revisit many scents i have loved that are now discontinued or reformulated. Hope this helps
andrgalAir – :
This is a very pleasant and safe fragrance. I wouldn’t understand if anybody said that it’s horrible! It reminds me of winter for some reason, but probably because I got to know the scent just before Christmas. When I wear it, it feels like I was invisibly cuddled!
Mefet438Diobtetty – :

The name ‘Eau’ turn me off. I imagine an ultralight fragrance that would banished entirely from my skin within 30 minutes. anyway, Cartier is not as famous as Chanel, Guerlain or Hermes. so this cant be really good, right?
yesterday I went to a well known perfume store in the other city. the old men who sell this stuff ask me what did I want? “something for daily routine. not offensive and would be able to perform anyday of the week, any season”. he smiled and pull a big 200ml bottle of his Eau de Cartier. the solid looking bottle amazes me on the quality of how Cartier treat their bottles.
one spray to the hand. open with spiced-citrus. nothing too special. skip. I try many other fragrance, get myself Declaration and Laliques, upon the time to pay, I notice something floral soapy… it comes from my hand that was sprayed by Eau de Cartier. to my amazement, I sniffed upon it once again, it so simple but beauty. not offensive in anyway, comforting and very versatile. I get that 200ml bottle
now this fragrance became my office scent, probably going to replace Versace Pour Homme place for the rest of my life. simple, unoffensive, office-appropriate, last a (really) long time with close to the skin sillage. but hey, do I need to use monstrous beast everyday? no! sometimes I want it comforting me, and Eau de Cartier did just that
