wafts of cinnamon
balmy green echoes

your skin
paradise lost
a lost gem
in the Gold Mine!

I can’t believe this and the original Must Pour Homme by Cartier are no longer available in stores. They are both pure class, and a very masculine fragrance. Hopefully they come in to production again! This is a more amped up version of Must Pour Homme. I love the cinnamon in it!

This is a very nice flanker to the original which is also nice. I feel that the combination of notes used in this particular fragrance is very good for a designer cologne.
It starts out with a citric (grapefruit) cinnamon wood accord. It goes on smelling nice & well rather dull… The conclusion is that it is under the radar with not much to holler about. In fact, it is very laid…
I don’t see how this could offend anyone, would be nice for the office or casual date. It last 5-6 hours. Not much projection but it is there. It is not strong, but gentleman like. If you want a nice fragrance that is low key, you should pick up this one here.

This Must flanker maintains that aniseed original but much softer touch. Initially grapefruit brings a particular brief freshness, which is perfectly assembled with spices: rich cinnamon, exotic and to a lesser extent less juicy ginger, leads us on the way to the middle notes with a balanced olfactory result and extremely pleasant to smell, being this the most striking, bright and interesting combo of Essence.
The wood drying do the rest cedar and a hint of patchouli and vetiver provide an atmosphere of warmth and mild sweetness. All very measured to be a versatile fragrance.
The duration is good and light projection makes this facet is more desirable.
Essence is a very pleasant and seductive proposal of Cartier.

Very smooth cinnamon and orange mixture (creamy), linear scent, sillage is okay and longevity is normal, I think its definetely 35-40 plus at least and suits better for women than men.

Welcome to the orangery of the well educated and wealthy.
Here are humidity, warmth and an opulent mix of exotic green plants you have never encountered before.
Sit down for a while, empty your mind of emotions and faces and simply enjoy our grand collection.

Basically, this is a UNIVERSAL fragrance – suitable for both men and women.
Then, this is very similar to Must EDT for women – at least in the dry down – it is so luxuriously chocolaty and powdery dry – the addition of cinnamon has made it less “humid and musty” than the feminine version, but overall they are comparable in the general “feel” and the sense of sophistication, refinement and luxury they both entail.
Honestly, I find some similarities with Covet by SJP because of the chocolate, but Must Essence is of course less sweet and not so optimistic as Covet.
This is a low sillage, close to the skin scent, so if you want “an effect”, you will need to apply lavishly.
Lasts pretty long, but definitely needs reapplication during the day.
The bottle is beautiful, the contrasting purple red and intensive green colors look nice thanks to their partial transparency. However, it is my first fragrance bottle, whose cap weighs almost the same as the bottle with juice inside! This makes it a little unwieldy to handle and also extremely heavy to carry, so if you have a 100ml bottle it will be safer to keep it as a stationary one.
I bought it unsniffed on sale – if you like Must EDT for women, it is a really safe and great choice to get it blindly.

The problem with Must De Cartier Pour Homme Essence is pretty much the same as the one with Declaration Essence. They’re potentially good fragrances but they lack in something. They’re made to please but in a very superficial and efemeral way. The feeling you have smelling this fragrances is the same that you have when you go at the movie to see the latest hollywood blockbuster comedy. It’s entertaining, pleasant and sometimes even a bit intriguing but when the movie is over it takes two hours to completely forget about it. Nice but unnecessary.

very strong woody and musky, after it settle down its a bit oriental
lasting for long time
recommended age 30+
this is so unfresh, so if u r not familiar with this kind stay away from it.

The opening starts with a blast of cinnamon. It’s the most natural cinnamon there could be! Then it slowly disappears, giving way for the grapefruit and ginger notes. Very warm and comforting.

I absolutely love this fragrance, it is sweeter than Must, but more close to the skin and more simple( I love Must, too). It is reffined, green-oriental, the spices are very well blended( the cinnamon does not scream here- it acts just like a light sweetener). I suppose the lasting power should be good on other people, even though the fragrance is quite close to the skin ( original Must projects better, but still has this issue).
Also, it is a perfume that enhances the natural smell of the skin.

A classic oriental which never fails. Similar to Opium and Jaipur, it really is a gem of oriental perfumery. Definitely, not for those under, let’s say,23.

I was at the department store today, and I came across this one as my boyfriend and I were searching for new fragrances for men. I thought this was like new packaging for the orange essence fragrances they have at frist, which I really wanted him to try. Of course it was at that point I realized this was not the fragrance I had thought it was, but in stead it was actually a bit more refreshing.
I like this one better than the Must de originals, both the one for men and women. The addition of cinnamon is amazing. Because so rarely is cinnamon used, and then used well, this fragrance becomes very unique. Sadly, Cartier’s Roadster proved far more appealing for my dear boyfriend (also not a bad scent), this one still lingers in my mind.
Oh, and, as a side note, while the packaging is compared to other packaging, this one is modern, for Cartier it is not very memorable. Still interesting, but among the display one almost doesn’t notice it.
