Eau de Cartier
Eau de Cartier by Cartier is an unisex eau de toilette from 2001 in the premium price tier. It opens with yuzu, moves into violet leaf and lavender and dries down to white musk, patchouli and amber. Expect around 4 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
Heart
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Dry-down
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
