trust me guys, it smells like the edp version, a little bit fresh ( 2% fresher ) but no reason to buy it if you have the edp or viceversa. I really like the honey but there is something inside (maybe animalic musk) that smells like a stable and make it too mature almost old.

honey with citruses? not a good idea and it’s not for men. unisex.

What to say about Envol?
For me it is a fragrance to love or hate. I love it!
Artemisia and citrus are the scents that I perceive at the opening! But when guaiac wood takes over, animal moss and honey lie in the clouds! I am flying! Envol is pure magic. After all it means: FLIGHT!
A nice: 8.5 / 10.
An imaginary celebrity: Aeolus.

This is a beautiful, understated and elegant fragrance. I place this fragrance in the same genre as scents like Millesime Imperial, Silver Mountain Water, Vetiver Geranium and maybe Gucci PH2 in terms of having that same very light, airy, breezy feel. Obviously it doesnt share any similar notes to the aforementioned fragrances, but it has the same effect to my nose. This almost just smells like a very light, milky, smooth high quality soap.
Enjoyed my sample so much I had to go ahead and buy a full bottle. If the toilette projected more or at least lasted longer this would probably be my favorite fragance right now

This is an odd one, with three very distinct phases. During the opening it is pure honey. After the first 20 minutes it enters its least distinctive phase– floral, synthetic citrus, with talcum powder, soap, and hair tonic. But during the final phase, the honey returns, much softer; the citrus calms down and the musk emerges. I can’t stop smelling it. As soon as it dies down I want more. It’s so full and rich without being overly sweet. Perfect for early fall nights. Packaging is deluxe.

Smells like expensive refined fresh woods dipped in honey. I like it. You will get noticed, it grabs you. Cartier is underrated. I bought a bottle of this one and a large sample of the eau de par fum, both are good.
dudon21 – :
The more I wear it, the more I love it. Lots of really amazing unsolicited compliments too.
I smell the citrus more now than at first. It smells like a large basket of dried citrus in the foyer of an expensive house.
The honey note is a spring or clover honey. Honey note is rich and a little sweet. It’s musky and has a persistent dry woody note too.
Green artemisia keeps it clean and fresh. Complements honey note beautifully.
Much prefer this to the edp. Sexiest Cartier.
Amazing fragrance.
aal912speagoessenda – :
Smells expensive and damn good. Sophisticated, Fresh , and woodsy, . I think Eau De Parfum version is more masculine though
zzc950InsuffBooni – :
So Mathilde is turning in niche fragrances in the designer category. What an amazing body of work.
September/October this is in heavy rotation. Ideal for early fall. Bright, nostalgic, uplifting.
The citrus notes last longer on my clothes than skin where I quickly get a green dewey wet bright rich soft honey over musk. Smells expensive and fresh and rich and smooth. Great on cooler summer nights too.
The bottle is my favorite of the other great packaging on cartier fragrances. The fragrance looks like it’s suspended over an outer one like in the edp but its all thick glass which i much prefer anyway. Why let something beautiful break everywhere because I’m sleepy one morning
The citruses and musk notes are not too far off from other notes I’ve smelled in various natural honeys almost like the entire composition is an idealized, highlighted, illuminating honey.
This smells like the last scene of Everything Is Illuminated that opens out over the sunflower field around the old lady’s house.

The review by trayton includes most of what I wanted to say about this.
The EDT does have some semblance to the EDP.. In fact to get an idea of the relationship, this could have been called Eau de L’envol. It seems to be more of a flanker to the EDP than a reformulated version.
It is light, and is definitely a unisex scent with a slight tilt towards being feminine to my nose. Citrus, light musk, and honey. I get a honeysuckle vibe in this well blended juice… And that vibe is more of how well the ingredients are blended than coming from a hidden note.
Worth sampling… Definitely a great light summer scent.
Progres – :
For me, this EDT has nothing to do with the EDP version and thus it’s pointless to compare them.
This one has been something I’ve liked a lot from the beginning. I love this composition because it’s simple, very airy, and it has the right amount of citruses without being too forward/harsh, or having too much projection of citrus notes.
The scent is a perfect choice for summer days. It’s not overly masculine but I believe that’s a price you need to pay to keep the breeze and lightness of the composition. To me, the main character of this fragrance is a herbal-citrusy note sitting on a light musk base. While I don’t like herbal or green notes in the foreground at all in fragrances, this is something special here which adds the twist and a unique character to the fragrance, separating it from the typical citrus summer fragrances. Honey is also just supporter here rather than a main character, which is good because it doesn’t run into the issue of being too sweet.
I wish projection would be 20 percent better because it sits a bit closer to my skin than I prefer, even during warmer days.
Scent: 8/10
Projection: 6/10
Longetivity: 6/10

I’ve been wanting to try the EDP since it released, however I found this one at an outlet store for a great price. So, I took the plunge and was pleasantly surprised. I only have one other frag with a honey note, which is nowhere near a summer fragrance so I was a bit skeptical at first. Also, the mixture of honey, citruses and musk… I just wasn’t sure.
Well, blast away and for sure, the beginning of this one is very off putting. Citrus heavy, musky, faint sweetness. Then it starts to dry (about 15 minutes) and wow… It’s damn fine. Nice mix of tart citrus and raw honey. The musk sort of low key throughout. The drydown, a mix of all with a woody and very slight floral tone. This stuff is great! A very unique all year winner.
The longevity for me is pretty good, 8 hours (sometimes more under the right conditions). Sillage is pretty nice for the first two hours. This has a slightly more mature vibe but I think it’s fine for all age groups. Women might even enjoy this one although it leans masculine. I’d say you could wear this on any occasion as well. Sig worthy, to me. Must get my hands on the EDP!

I happened to get in touch with this wonderful citrusy gourmand accidentally. From the first moment I toyed with the neatly designed cap, sprayed the juice and smelled it, the fragrance kinda stuck in my brain, like, permanently. I decided at once that this is among my signature frags. To me L’Envol is one for those who are dynamic, energetic and full of ideas. When I don’t want to stay idle, I’ll spray this to the inside of my undershirt, and then walk the rest of the day confidently. Longevity is a bit of an issue but I enjoy the projection so much, it’s forgivable. It’s eight out of ten.

A more light, citrusy and transparent version of the EDP. I love the EDP, and this is a great option for the summer months. Once again, Cartier has delivered a great work.
-On my wish-list!
rokkii_11 – :
Theres a nice honey and cinnamon underneath but it’s totally ruined by synthetic citrus. The note is comparable to windex.
Diplodog – :
Just tested both, and I’m going to steal @Dunpeal’s word. These are both superb.
Given the choice i would pick this over the edp however. Much friendlier in mixed company. The citrus here dominates, but is not a bright fresh citrus. More like Game Of Thrones citrus, if that makes any sense. Then it really does calm down into a lovely honey-woodsy vibe.
joyprosse – :
This is Superb…
Transparent notes of honey,patch,iris,violet,and
musk. I have the EDP and will be getting the EDT
very soon. The differences are that the EDT has more
citrus and the EDP has more violet in the composition.
Both are fantastic!
syclevakkarly – :
This is NOT a fragrance for man. Maybe unisex. Definitely for woman. A mature one. I like, it has the fragrance of a classic baby cream, sun lotion, even a milk detergent. It is comfortable. Jolie. But no testosterone inside. It is a sort of pandemonium of flowers spicy talc milky fruity salty notes. a velvety messy but Nice scent. A bit melancholic. Remember me Anna Sui.. a bit LouLou Blue cant say.
OX9m1nTZ – :
There is kinda grandpa spicy old school vibe to it but i like it.
From the beginning the citrus burst is accompaniment by the herbal qualities (almost flowery) of artemisia witch catch an attention and the honey is also present.
In the middle the citrus goes very background and the scent becomes all about the honey and artemisia (both are done fabulously here).The midlle is very soft and almost unisex but there is something that keeps it more on manly side.
The drydown is powdery a bit creamy honey with hint of anise and maybe some iris..
Overall its harmonious classy with some modern twists frag. Reminds me of champagne, i dont know why..
Imagining myself a tall european guy in his 50s wearing it, maybe in 20 years from now i will wear it too.
Арий_ТУР – :
This is very similar to Uomo from Valentino especially in the dry down.
gamorra – :
Tried the new eau de toilette. Not a fan of edp as it smells too safe for me; however I’m really impressed by edt. Mathilde Laurent amped up the citrusy part MANY times as the fragrance now sounds as a distinctive cologne. I feel lemons and conventional bergamot/neroli for an invigorating vibe, some honey at the beginning and typical for L’Envol range violets. Finally a beautiful thing by Cartier.
San4aS88 – :
@endymion, the EDP sits really well on my skin ,it’s a strong presence and people always seem to be able to smell it on me ,not a light cologne at all ,it’s a really good powdery orchid scent ,lingers really well and I don’t ever need to reapply in the day
ptenxxx – :
yes, it is “diffusive”. a fine mist sprayer…
It smells like a woody coconut alcohol, with a curiously penetrating musk. It’s not strong… this is almost pure base notes. Hard to describe, but an oily coconut woody alcohol musk is what i get. quite interesting, but that’s it.
Sillage: weak.
longevity: mild
Assort – :
@junior halston…. I’ve found that EDT is always more diffusive than the “heavier” EDP concentration. Without exception really. I’m not sure why people believe otherwise, but thats just in my experience.
marina2981 – :
Sometimes an EDT can be more diffusive then a EDP due to increase in alcohol content.
I am looking forward to trying this one form the discription it appears to be more citrus.
poster_vip – :
Just the other way around:
For Men….Mostly first an eau de toilette and second an eau de parfum
