Roadster
Roadster by Cartier is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2008 in the designer price tier. It opens with mint and mandarin, moves into black pepper and vetiver and dries down to tonka bean, patchouli and vanilla. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
