Eau de Cartier

one of the best fresh / transparent fragrances ever created. unisex and timeless.. unique and comforting.. is this still in production?

Very translucent, mirage-like. Soft lavender and violet (VERY subtle), soft fleeting citruses, settled into a soft musky drydown. Unisex and timeless. The opening is sharp, but if you can get past it, it becomes elegant and enduring.

idk how old the bottle is. friend borrowed the bottle from their friend and wanted me to smell it. this ain't it. didn't smell any citrus. such a weird scent. reminded me of aqua universalis cologne ♂ stamp of disapproval

The row boat : Claude Monet 1887 La barque

absolutely beautiful scent. too bad it doesn't last long. i use it just for myself

I like it more than the essence de bois one in this one I can feel the lavender better it feels like a more interesting scent than just a straightforward citrus very nice for the summer

An underrated gem from Cartier. Its the best every day wear violet fragrance IMO. I tried the whole Eau de line but the OG edt is the best by far. I really wish they bring it back.

Eau de Cartier is for those who value discretion, lightness and effortless sophistication. It is suitable for both men and women, especially those who appreciate the aesthetics of refined cologne with a modern touch. It is ideal for minimalists, lovers of clean and balanced perfumes, and people who are sensitive to overly invasive fragrances. It is a timeless fragrance that remains relevant more than two decades after its launch. Its transparent and elegant construction is an example of how simplicity can be synonymous with sophistication. It is not a perfume to impress crowds, but rather for those who appreciate quiet luxury. Final Score: 8.5/10 Light, elegant and refined. A discreet classic that never goes out of style. Performance Lasting power: Moderate (5 to 7 hours on the skin) Projection: Soft to moderate (closer to the skin) Sillage: Discreet, ideal for indoors or continuous use

Eau's are some of my favorite fragrances, regardless of performance issues. But on me, I don't have any issues with Cartier. I first bought this when I moved to LA, and it has a very California feel to me. Fresh, juicy, clean, but elegant, one of the best yuzus around IMHO. on me it feels greener than the notes above reveal. Absolutely unisex but would lean masculine. I have had several bottles over the years. Shame it was discontinued.

It is not my cup of tea - it is too masculin on my skin. I have 200ml to sell. Write me if you are interested.

This is THE BEST cologne feeling ever for after shower. Everytime my mom was using it I was like MOM? MOM! What is that perfume that you are wearing! I need it in my life! It makes a person look perfectly clean and tidy. I would say it has a good amount of ambroxan like Juliette has a gun Not a perfume although it is not mentioned on the list here in Fragrantica. Defo a very good gift for a woman.

I cannot for the love of god tell you what this smells like. No matter how many times I wore it, I always forgot and had to re-smell it. For sure it is a clean, basic scent, with little hints of citruses and flowers. It is pretty intimate and doesn't really project so I ended up using it in combination with other perfumes, like Olympea or Soleil Blanc and it perfectly complements others: it makes other fragrances pop or helps tone down their thickness and sweetness.

Coming back to the market! Cartier will relaunch it soon!

This is not it. It feels so contradictory because of the performance. The quality of the perfume is great! But it's instantly a skin scent, damn near nonexistent lol. Whatever great you can think about it, just add it instantly disappears afterwards. For me it, last a bit longer on clothes than my skin. One review below on here said it reappears like a silent whisper. that I agree. Im not lying when I say this goes instantly skin scent, almost feels like you're noseblind to it but then randomly it pops back up. Same reviewer also said you can smell it walking into a room. Surprisingly yes. If someone has this on and walk into the room the first time or you, yourself leave a room a room you were in for awhile and come back you will smell it. That is probably Eau de cartier at its strongest. Weird frag. Such a well crafted scent with terrible performance. Off that alone I'd keep it as a collectors item. Maybe this could work for young children since its light. Apparently people wear fragrances to bed, that could work. For this day and age along with the price, get something else.

Ahh, this fragrance is beautiful. The opening starts off with this pleasantly sharp blast of Yuzu. Yuzu is such a unique citrus, and has a unique quality to it that stands out amongst the others. It reminds me of Le Jardin de Monsieur Li from Hermès. The coriander in the top also gives it a spicy pungent sharpness. It's a lovely scent, nothing crazy but I do love it for what it is. This would be amazing in the summer / spring season. The biggest downside for me is longevity, which is not surprising with citrus scents. Overall, a very solid fragrance from Cartier. Bravo.

Cartier has produced quite a few beautiful fragrances to this day - and this is definitely one of them! I've had it for many many years - I bought it for a good price, tried it on two or three times and put it in the back of the closet! (It wasn't so good for me then - even my nose is significantly better/more experienced today!) A couple of months ago, I happened to notice him and spray him with love! :) I believe that the same thing has happened to you at some point with another fragrance! It starts out very citrusy - but not like other similar perfumes based on citrus (Lemon) - rather bergamot in combination with Yuzu (One of the most beautiful citrus scents!) Very fresh and beautiful! The fact that I like the fragrance so much is the fault of the heart of this fragrance! Its evolution from fresh yuzu when the story transforms into a mixture of violet, lavender, musk... This is the perfect part! It lasts quite well on clothes for a fresh fragrance - it's not as bad as some people think!

ugh this perfume in the high heat is wonderful. it's fresh and juicy and comforting at the same time, whilst maintaining an edge. however, in cold weather i feel it goes full edge and develops an unexpected darkness and mystique. it has the same cooling and creeping feeling as chelsea wolfe's song, "16 psyche". definitely overspray. also i could have sworn there was black pepper in here.

It's a weird, citrus-heavy, warm-weather scent. Smells like senior living. 2.7/10

Exquisitely elegant for warm days; in a lot more easy-going way than La Panthere. Stregth and sillage could be stronger, that's true. My 10-year-old daughter first smelled tobacco in it, then sushi - definitly unisex notes...

A clean, light EDC which is not long Lasting. Sillage is intimate. I can understand why Cartier produced a concentree iteration. Michael Edwards classifies this as a rich citrus. The citrus opening is very light but lingers for an hour or so. The violet and violet leaves are the essence of this perfume. I detect light musk and a more predominant amber. This is suitable for persons who work in close contact with others, such as personal services. Also good if you will be in close quarters for a social event. If you were going to meet someone for the first time, this would be a fragrance to wear, as it is quiet and unobtrusive. I generally prefer more expressive perfumes but this one is very clean and pleasant. A safe blind buy, IF you will be satisfied with a gentle composition and poor longevity and sillage. One’s fragrance does not always have to evoke mysterious temples, woody forests or flower barges.

What a beauty this is! This has been in my collection about 20 years and I just never get bored with it. It's subtle but it's there, beautifully lingering from room to another like a sweet whisper. It's crisp and calming at the same time. Very high quality. I bought this one at Christmas time and every time I spray it, I feel the festive time coming. Such a kind and warm scent to me.

Eau de Cartier is a beautiful example of a scent of its genre - a light, unisex cologne best worn in hot weather. These vary in quality, ranging from the symphonic Eau de Guerlain to the watery rubbing alcohol that is Eau de Givenchy. Eau de Cartier is thankfully one of the better offerings. I had high hopes, as it is created by one of my top three modern era noses, Christine Nagel, but Cartier as a brand (the perfume line anyway) can be hit-and-miss. EDC starts off thin, even sharp, but mellows nicely as it progresses, resulting in a rather lovely violet-forward cologne. EDC opens with slightly harsh citrus, given a dash of peppery spice by the coriander, which results in a slightly discordant opening instead of giving some warmth/aromatic softness to the citrus. I was ready to write it off at this stage, but instead, it turns around completely. As it develops on my skin, a soft, slightly green violet note emerges. More leaf than flower, it is fresh and dewy - a real treat for this violet lover. Restrained lavender adds its typical aromatic quality, but manages to stay in the background, playing second fiddle to the violet. It feels relaxing and restorative, almost in the manner of aromatherapy oils, but EDC is still very much a tightly-composed scent, designed to be worn. The coriander complements this phase beautifully, adding a soft spicy lift - its appearance is simply premature. EDC features a generic drydown, becoming softly woody and musky, but the remnants of the violet and, to a lesser extent, lavender keep it pleasant. Sillage is intimate and longevity is reasonably moderate for such a light scent. Perfectly unisex, EDC is an excellent choice for hot weather (also as an after shower/bedtime scent in summer). Elegant yet easy, this scent is a masterwork in the art of subtlety. If the opening was a little less harsh, this could compete with my beloved Eau de Guerlain for my summer attentions. 4/5.

Cartier have a good collection of fragrances But this one is beyond good The citrus and spice as well as spicy florals such as violet and lavender Make this one of a kind experience What makes this scent a little bit better for me is how distinct it is which I can’t recall any other fragrances that are identical to it Performance is a major factor in loving a frag for me but this time it’s an exception 9/10

This is my bed time or after shower fragrance. Absolutely gorgeous! It's perfect for relaxing moments as it's a peaceful scent with low projection.

Stunning. Unisex yes and I usually HATE unisex fragrances, I'm a girl and I want to smell like one. But this is different, sophisticated, beautiful.

I know it is not listed above, but I smell iris. In fact, I find it quite similar to Infusion d'Iris by Prada.

Too masculine. My fiance loves it. Lasted forever on me, minimal projection. Too me it just smells like a nice man's cologne. Wouldn't recommend.

Mmmm.... I don't like it. The opening is sudden and sharp. Icy spicy corriander with bitter bergamot. After 30 minutes the violets appear and the sharpness decreases. Nothing other than this. It is somewhat irritable to smell. And lasts short.

I’ve never had this experience with a fragrance before, but this almost smells like nothing to me. A slight coriander in the beginning, but dries down to invisibility.

Very safe, likeable and refreshing. This invokes the same feeling of being on a hill in the English countryside in mid June, where there are beautiful flowers like honeysuckle and heliotrope, there is a chilling breeze coupled with a perfect, moderate sun and you are surrounded by empty meadows of green freshness. The texture is kind of dewy and watery which characterises the scent as a summer pick. It’s lovely but a little too forgettable because there is nothing distinguished about it. It’s very similar to Hermes in personality.
