So Pretty. The name says it all.
Coming back soon! Cartier will relaunch this great fragrance
For me, in my humble opinion, this vintage beauty is pure luxury. This was expensive when it was first launched and today SMELLS just as expensive and high class. Think JIVAGO 24K style. Cartier, the jewelry brand, is no cheap thing; and as such, neither are there fragrances. This comes in a red box as if it was a jewelry box and the bottle is clear revealing the orange-yellow liquid, a glass bottle with a faux gold stopper and it's so - well so pretty! Not only is the bottle a lovely thing, but the scent itself. The first spray reveals the citrus forward top notes. I'm not getting peach, but mainly mandarin orange, bergamot and above all the neroli. The neroli with it's very realistic orange and green leaves around orange blossoms kind of aroma. After the fresh and very realistic orange scent begins to subside, a dash of blackberry. The gourmand fruit notes are quite sweet and tart, with a summer vibe. The flowers in the heart follow the citrus. I'm smelling jasmine, lilies of the valley and a shy iris. If the iris were strong, this perfume would become powdery. It doesn't go there. Instead it's fruity-floral with a strong neroli, a blackberry sweetness and the white floral trail of jasmine and lilies of the valley. The white flowers are the real heart of this perfume. It has a bright and very sweet floral shampoo smell but luxury and nourishing shampoo not some cheap drugstore shampoo. The flowers begin to get warmer because then one picks up on a warm musk and a touch of incense via a benzoin. It's resins and some green notes that are thrown into the base. I smell the vetiver and the sandalwood. A light cedar at the bottom, way at the bottom. As it does begin to fade you do smell a light wood. This whole thing is also reminiscent of the performance of Calvin Klein Obsession, which is also a citrus floral with wood, evoking a tree or rather an orange tree or orange blossom tree. Smells like a grove of trees with citrus and white flowers. A pretty young bride in a gorgeous white gown. This is very feminine, womanly, sweet and grown up. At times the iris note turns into a lipstick kind of scent. Just a perfume that asks you to be polite, refined, wearing an elegant dress and high heels. This is a 90's scent that smell as you imagine Julia Roberts in PRETTY WOMAN after she has been made over in the Rodeo Drive boutiques walking down the street with the shopping bags in that white dress and hat, returning to that boutique where the nasty sales ladies refused to attend her and rubs it in their faces that she had the money and class to shop there after all. This is a sophisticated floral fragrance with a green base. It's great for dressy formal wear but in spring and summer. I recommend it for brides and or very elegant women who are fashionable and love vintage clothing AND fragrances to put on with those vintage fragrances.
I have a 8 mL spray of this, I am thinking the fragrance must have gone bad, since it's been long discontinued. All I perceive is a vague earthy rose and oakmoss base, and I see where the reviewer below is getting cat piss. It is your basic vintage chypre but it's devoid of life. I would have loved to smell So Pretty in its heyday.

This is really pleasant on first spray and reminds me of perfumes I smelled as a child. However, on my blotter, this turns rancid and (...apologies for those who have a nostalgic connection to this...) takes on a cat pee smell. I know jasmine can do that at times, but perhaps my decant was not stored properly prior to my ownership - hard to tell. I was hoping to get more of the fruit opening and soapy dry down that others are mentioning, but unfortunately, this is a hard no for me.
What an immense emotion ... finding this wonderful rarity here on Fragrantica ... the perfume of my 20 years in the 90s. I received it unexpectedly as a gift, from an aspiring suitor, I immediately fell in love with it (of So Pretty of course). Different from other Cartier fragrances, So Pretty appeared fresher and less demanding. I have a memory of it citrusy at the first spray, sparkling, and then conveying in the floral dry, the dominant iris with a train of appreciable lily of the valley with this woody, musky background and still hints of citrus, cedar and benzoin, which turned in the hours into a reassuring and enveloping talc. I remember an important Sillage. The duration was appreciable even many hours later. I wonder why the Cartier maison withdrew this wonderful fragrance of the famous Jean Guichard nose from the market? Because !? Mysteries
So Pretty is a high-quality fruity chypre that lives up to its name. I quite like Cartier's perfume offerings, both current and vintage, and SP is no exception. I have a vintage miniature. SP opens with a juicy, fresh blackberry note, bolstered by soft orangy neroli and citrus notes. There is a hint of powdery iris present from the beginning, with some restrained peach adding sweetness. The sweet rose note becomes quite prominent as it develops on my skin, complemented by the other florals, making for an elegant bouquet. The iris and orris root temper the sweetness, keeping it beautifully powdery. It becomes wonderfully soapy after a while. As it dries down, the classic, old-fashioned chypre base comes to the fore, adding a mossy earthiness to the florals. The woody notes are smooth and rich, and it fades to a musky, slightly earthy skin scent after a while. The blackberry is softly present in the background throughout, evolving as the scent develops. It becomes more boozy than its berry-like presence at the opening, adding a cassis-like quality. The blackberry note keeps an otherwise run-of-the-mill floral chypre distinctive, interesting and modern - a masterful inclusion. Sillage and longevity are moderate. Effortlessly feminine and elegant SP is a classic chypre updated for a modern audience. Full bottle worthy if it wasn't discontinued. Indeed so very pretty. 4/5.
This was a blind buy based on some outstanding reviews and my personal fondness for Cartier fragrances. I have yet to smell a Cartier perfume I don’t like. I picked this up on ebay at a decent price as I’ve learned to do - if you find a discontinued fragrance on eBay for a decent price, don’t hesitate because it will not be there for long. So Pretty was a successful blind buy for me. It’s not quite what I was expecting, but it’s nice. It reminds me of Samsara, which I feel a bit nostalgic for from time to time. I don’t see myself reaching for So Pretty often, but it’s a nice one to have in my collection.
This is not a 'floral green', it's a full-on chypre. Take the bubbly aldehydes in Balenciaga Le Dix, add some cold, almost aloof woody iris in Guerlain Vol De Nuit, sprinkle it with the '90s ubiquitous powdery fruity notes, particularly peach and berry, and then spread them altogether on the green, mossy base of vintage Miss Dior - this is what So Pretty is to me. It nods to the classic chypres that predate it and twist them with a modern fruitiness, which essentially makes it more relevant in today's time. Oh and did I mention that it also has one of the most GORGEOUS fizzy rose notes? Nothing but love for Cartier!
Growing up I use to admire this young incredibly stylish and freshly married neighbor. She and my much older sisters were enviably tall, and of course, that never happened to me. Somewhere in my teens, she befriended me. I discovered how funny and joyful a person can choose to be despite highly competitive work environment, complicated family situation, financial and health problems. Coming from humble background, nothing was ever handed to her. Being shamed at her very first job for her lack of sophistication she decided never to feel like ugly duckling again. To me, she always looked and smelled incredible. Still does. So Pretty. There is a freshness in the girl next door kind of way and the natural elegance some people just have. Like great posture. Effortlessly charming.
This has been discontinued for several years. I found a 100 ml in a perfume store in Montreal, it was a little expensive, but I had to have. I had been searching for this gem for over 10 years.
Do you remember a toy called "thumb sucking monkey"? Do you recall its smell (brown fur and rubber face)- some kind of plastic/latex. So Pretty smells like this toy + a trace of "wax-y" rose. Once I washed my monkey with soap to get rid of this latex scent and it smelled like this perfume.
Spicy and warm, with a slight boozy note like fine cognac, So Pretty is pretty indeed. Well blended and refined, this unisex scent is popular for good reasons. Good sillage and lasting power. So Pretty is my first Cartier scent, and I'm very happy with this purchase.
Refined and beautiful...and eventhough it was launched in 95 it screams to me the proper refinement of a "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." young lady or Mad Man...perfectly fitted outfit and gestures, so proper and elegant ... For the young one, but a young from another era. This scent truly transports me to refined and 'custom tailored' years. Jean Guichard is a 'magician' -(I love how Eden also transports me, in that case to a lush garden from another 'dimension'). Sillage on my skin is about 1ft, safe for office. Longevity is great, when sprayed in the evening my skin is still deliciously scented the next morning. So Pretty is a 'must have' classic! PS: the more I wear this one, the more I LOVE this gem...it is truly So Pretty. I surely need to restock...
One of the best perfumes ever...I wore it a lot in the 90´s. Cartier is bringing their classic watches back, for ex. La Panthere and they could bring in perfumery some gems like this too.
Cartier please bring back this gem! I have never found a fragrance that could compete with this one. So Pretty had it all: the simple yet stylish bottle and the absolutely addictive smell that lasted long. My signature sent. The prettiest of all. I still miss it..
I love this perfume. I have the EDT version. It is a sweet perfume in line of the Estee Lauder original Beautiful fragrance. It is a sweet, floral perfume and makes me feel happy. If one purchases it from ebay cheaply you will be lucky. It is one of favorites out of 300 vintage perfumes. It is a sheer classic and elegant fragrance with amazing silage, projection and quality.
I love the gold bottle so luxurious the fragrance she remind me a little of Shalimar Parfum Initial but stronger and last longer. So Pretty parfum is floral sweet fresh feminine. The first thing I smell is the neroli and blackberry. Delicious fruity smell. Summery. Then I smell the rose and iris powdery and flowery with green notes with the vetiver and woods of sandalwood and cedar. Is simple but elegant parfum. Good for wearing with pretty and expensive dress, make up, lipstick, jewelry. Is a formal and casual perfume for both day and night but perfect for spring and summer. So feminine and mature glamorous. Is sad Cartier does not make this anymore.
Review Of The Eau De Toilette Spray Purchased On eBay Cartier fragrances, like their jewelry, epitomize sophistication and luxury but some of them, like So Pretty, are actually quite subtle and far from excessive or extravagant. I was taken aback by this perfume after having worn Cartier's flamboyant jungle floral La Panthere for many years. It is still my favorite Cartier and the one I wear the most. But this is not bad a-t-all! The bottle matches up with Cartier gold. The color of the liquid and cap match up with the scent. A fresh citrusy floral for the summer season. Elegant. Classy. Subtle. Sophisticated. Although it may come off as quite mature by today's standards, especially when compared to the junk out there, this fragrance is representative of of a young and beautiful, well-dressed and very stylish woman of high social status. She is an independent Grace Kelly type blonde with her own money, independent nature, and self-worth. The fragrance is suited to day wear: floral print sundresses, maxi dresses, cool long sleeved blouses with necklines to reveal the neck but not the cleavage, as this fragrance is rather conservative. Opens with fruit notes. First a neroli at the top, citrusy and strong with all the orange flavored scents around it: bergamot orange groves, orange blossoms, and mandarin, definitely mandarin. Smells of green leaves around orange trees as well so green notes are to be found in the top. A bit of peach fuzz and a slightly sour blackberry give it a delectable but discreet fruity scent. Since this fragrance dates from the mid-90's, it makes sense because so many perfumes from that decade were quite fruity and floral. This one's no exception. I love that neroli and mandarin and the orange juice is so drinkable! Sparkling like citrus based cocktails or even a bit of heady champagne. Fresh and pleasant. The florals are not very elaborate and in fact quite simple, but they are woven together around the green notes. The rose is the dominant flower, as is the iris. Powdery floral rose and iris also known as orris root. For a length of time all I get is the iris but then it turns into a noticeably green lily of the valley bush. A distinct lily of the valley in a little wood. In the dry down the herbal and aromatic nature of the perfume comes through. I smell vetiver, oak moss and woods. The cedar and sandal are gorgeously rendered and provide the support those flowers need. This is most definitely a chypre but it's sweet and fruity character is totally out of touch with most somber or purely patchouli-based chypres. This is not a traditional chypre and Fragrantica has classified her as a green floral. So Pretty is quite a silly name and sounds like a celebrity scent out of Paris Hilton. So Pretty by insert celebrity name - Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande or whomever. But the fragrance, though pretty, is not artificial nor flirty, innocent, girlish or air-headed. She is a very worldly and very smart woman who knows what she wants, goes after it, and gets it. So Pretty perfume is not complex and has a linear progression. It's a citrus floral or fruity floral but it has a powdery and overtly feminine body. It doesn't smell like cosmetics but at the same time she does seem to want you to wear her with cosmetics, particularly very fine nails that have been polished and colored with pretty colors like pink or red. She is well manicured, French, her hair is usually in an updo even when she is not in a formal setting, she wears expensive clothes, she has sunglasses and little neck scarves, high heels and pendants or earrings. She reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in the opening scene to Breakfast At Tiffany's. She would have been wearing this perfume. I wear this as my day time formal equivalent to the evening formal Panthere. They are two very different perfumes with two distinctly diverse personalities but can be worn by the same woman. I've received many a compliment on both perfumes. This one is a welcome new addition to my Cartier favorites. Highly recommended for fans of fruity florals, and of 90's vintages. It has been discontinued but can still be found if you hunt for it on eBay or Amazon.com.
A mini of Cartier so pretty was part of one of my friend's birthday gift to me.back then I opened it's golden cap and dabbed a little on my hand and disliked it.I guess what turned me off was that it opens with a strong,bitter alcohol blast due to it's aged juice.I totally forgot about it until recently that I saw it and decided to give it a real try It opens as I remembered but fortunately only it's first few minutes have turned.after that I pickup rose+blackberry+a hint of citrusy,peachy fizz.after a bit,it's citrusy aspect calms down and I'm left with a boozy rose-blackberry combo wrapped by orris powder in a woodsy,mossy base.so I agree with rated notes as rose,oak moss and orris are the strongest notes to my nose and there's definitely woody notes and a touch of fruits l like it's velvety soft touch on my skin.luxurious and gentle.it still has a classic vibe which makes it elegant but doesn't make it dated at all.it's easily wearable nowadays IMO I'm not in the league of So Pretty's huge fans and lovers and I won't go for a big bottle but I find it pleasant and classy and I'd enjoy dabbing precious drops of my mini whenever I want to feel pretty in a sophisticated,elegant way.I'm sure there are a lot of other rose,wood,powder fragrances out there but I agree that this one is one of the bests in this genre Longevity is very good,sillage seems to be moderate مینیاتوری سو پریتی ک من دارم بخاطر قدیمی بودن،تو دو سه دقیقه اولش فقط میشه یه رایحه تند و تلخ الکلی رو استشمام کرد اما خوشبختانه فقط دو دقیقه اولش تغییر رایحه داده و بعد میشه ترکیبی از رز،توت سیاه و یه کوچولو گسی مرکبات،هلو رو حس کرد.بخش مرکباتی رایحه خیلی زود محو میشه و ترکیبی از رز و توت سیاه که کمی رایحه شراب قرمزمانند داره با همراهی رایحه پودری،خاکی ریشه زنبق در بستری چوبی،خزه ای به جا میمونه.درواقع اگه بخوام نت های غالب رو اسم ببرم باید بگم رز،توت سیاه و ترنج تو شروع و تو درای داون رز،خزه بلوط، و ریشه زنبق غالب هستن..رایحه شیک و بالغ و باوقار و کلاسیکی داره اما به هیچوجه جوری از مد افتاده و قدیمی نیست ک نشه امروزه ازش استفاده کرد..بشخصه عاشقش نیستم اما ازش بدم هم نمیاد،بین دهها و شاید بهتره بگم صدها عطر رز-چوب-پودر،کارتیه سو پریتی از خوبهاست..موندگاری خوب و پخش بوی متوسط داره..البته من فقط دو قطره ازش زدم رو پوستم و قطعا اگه اسپری بشه قویتر حس میشه
What a crying shame that this fragrance doesn't sell anymore. Who was the simpleton who discontinued this beautiful perfume? I was wearing So Pretty around 1996. This fragrance came in an attractive golden bottle inside a fitted red case. I had a large over 3 ounce size bottle of the Eau de Parfum spray. If you can find it on ebay or anywhere else hang on to it. I wish that I had known how valuable these fragrances would be years after their release. So Pretty was a romantic summer evening cologne for the elegant & fashionable lady. Yes it did in fact sell at the Cartier store. This was an expensive and alluring scent, unlike any other perfume out there today. I can't make any comparisons although it's composition of fruit, florals & sandalwood, with a rich juicy aroma was somewhat similar to Champagne by Yves Saint Laurent or Donna by Pavarotti, Volupte by Oscar De La Renta & Tresor by Lancôme. So Pretty is pretty but she is straight out of the 90's fruity floral scents which were quite popular. The fruity opening is so intoxicating. Deep peach, fresh and sweet mandarin & bergamot, neroli & a tart berry. The neroli is the big top note but it's still such a fruit flavored liqueur, dark fruit, fruit cocktails. She screams summer and day wear, at least in the context of it's time. One can visualize a well dressed Cartier client wearing this perfume on her mini dress or halter top dress while she's having lunch & cocktails. For me the fruit notes are quite strong. Yes this is a pretty powerful scent but at least it smells good. The more of it I inhaled, the more of it I liked. The floral notes consist of iris, rose, orris and orchid. On me this is a powdery rose & iris, as iris is very powdery, in addition to that root of iris. This is a powdery floral with feminine roses & a faint green note which I think is lily of the valley. She's floral alright, but that blackberry is still lingering, not allowing those floral notes to become too serious or too heavy. It was a fragrance tailor made for young women to smell of ripe fruit. This is delicious fruit juice. It's the iris not the rose that is the major player among the florals. When dry this fragrance is powdery, soft and heady with sandalwood. My experienced nose, even by '96, was able to pick up on a lot of other scents. There's a musk, though it's not a big player; a balsamic note, some benzoin, vetiver & woods. This has some Oriental tendencies because of the sandalwood & vetiver but she is not a heavy Oriental either; and because of those woodsy notes, she is more of a chypre. I would classify this scent as a floral chypre. Like I said it's a romantic, sweet and elegant day wear perfume of the summer. I wore her many a summer during the summer break from work I was doing as principal of a high school. I took this beauty with me to parties up and down the East Coast. A nostalgic & classic floral, and "so pretty"!
So Pretty is so pretty! Sparkling orange, like a mimosa or gold champagne with a citrus flavor, a sweet berry scent, iris, orchid, rose and additional floral scents of lily of the valley and jasmine mingle with vetiver grass moss and sandalwood. This gets to the point right away and it feels like all the notes are put together and there's not enough time to develop from one note to the other. I smelled everything at once. I have the largest size spray bottle and 2 miniature dab on bottles. This is a summer fragrance for a day time lunch engagement, a romantic getaway or a wedding. It's powdery and feminine, elegant and classy.
I love it very much .gold,sparkling very classic at floral chic woody but not heavy.i agree about some notes that similar to Chanel 5" with this feeria of flowers and aldehyde notes .warm and hugging.
Very expensive perfume but worth it. I live in Florida and this beauty is pure sunshine on my skin. I can wear this to the beach, to go out shopping or to meet with friends informally and casually. My first reaction: love the bottle. It's SO PRETTY! Looks like it contains real gold. This smells like you've been picking mandarin oranges off a tree in the middle of summer. I could smell the orchid and jasmine. The dry down is soft sandalwood and cedar. So if you like floral-woodsy chypres you gotta try this. Although it's from the 90's it's wearable for today. I didn't feel like I was wearing an old and outdated perfume. I have the Eau De Toilette Spray that came in a fitted red box. I am wearing this baby a lot right now and considering making it my signature scent. I have to wear it long enough to see if this relationship will last!
So Pretty In Perfume I have been looking for Cartier's So Pretty for the longest time. It was easier to find a vintage Guerlain's Jicky from 1889 and Coty's La Rose Jacquemot from 1904 than it was to find a 1995 vintage Cartier So Pretty. In the mid 90's this beauty did not hit most mainstream department stores. It was to be found in Cartier Boutiques in such notable premier shopping Meccas as Fifth Avenue in Manhattan New York City, Chicago's Magnificent Mile and Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills California. It would have been advertised in magazines but I don't recall TV commercials. Cartier is famously known as one of the finest jewelers of all time, in the same league as Harry Winston and Tiffanys. So most people went in to purchase diamond earrings, bracelets or necklaces, and it was most likely the men going in there, and they would have taken notice of the glass bottle with round gold stopper containing a shimmering gold liquid. What could that be? It's perfume! In a jewelry store. Might as well buy it for the wife to go with her new jewelry. This must have been the gimmick. Cartier So Pretty has been discontinued, at least in the United States. What you get on ebay is appalling miniatures or one fourth one half or one and seven ounce bottles. There are also tester bottles without a box. The regular sizes of 3.3 or 3.4 ounces are gone. They could still be selling in foreign countries that have Cartier boutiques: Monte Carlo, Paris, London, Beirut, Dubai, or even Buenos Aires Argentina. I was very lucky this time. I have a girfriend who is a professional perfumer and she sold me her brand new, never before unboxed, 3.4 ounce bottle. I felt like I had found my Holy Grail perfume, the one that almost got away. It's like an enormous orange blossom, with such a beautiful fragrance that can overwhelm you if you smell it for too long. Just like Cartier diamond and sapphire masterpiecs, So Pretty is a radiant amber gold that just happens to be a perfume. The nose behind this fragrance is a master. He is Jean Guichard who had also created Calvin Klein's Obsession, Cacharel's Loulou and Eden, Nina Ricci's Deci Dela and Trussardi's Donna Trussardi. NOTES IN CARTIER'S SO PRETTY Head Notes: Blackberry, Mandarin Orange, Peach, Tunisian Neroli, Sicilian Bergamot Heart Notes: Iris, Diamond Orchid, Orris Root, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Rose Base Notes: Musk Sandalwood, Benzoin, Oakmoss Vetiver Cedar When Guichard was making So Pretty, he included a diamond shaped orchid which had never been done before in perfumery. It's rather unfortunate that I don't get the orchid because the top notes have citrus notes that totally dominate the aroma. This is the most orange flavored perfume I have ever smelled. It's like an enormous orange blossom opening up in front of you. In this capacity it resembles Amarige by Givenchy. I would also compare it to the aldehyde opening in Givenchy's L'interdit. The aldehydes are not very strong and are decidedly more powdery or, to my nose, a tiny bit like nail polish at a beauty salon. But the strong orange is what you most get, or what I most got. The jasmine is there but it's not a big motif. Anyone who knows anything about flowers will tell you that the orange blossom is a wedding flower (Just like gardenia) and it is supposed to be worn by brides on their wedding day. This perfume is therefore suited to wear to your wedding day with your expensive and amazing wedding gown. It's more fruity than floral so if you like fruity perfumes this one will enchant you. It's absolutely a summer and spring fragrance. It's a skin scent when applied with a light touch. I think this is how it's supposed to be used. Don't douse yourself with it or the aldehydes take over and then So Pretty is Not So Pretty. There was, for a brief moment, something similar to the green notes in Balmain's Ivoire de Balmain, the original vintage Ivoire. That was such a nice nod to it that I felt so pleased to discover it because Ivoire is another fragrance that is very dear to me. It has a calm, greeness which feels totally real, like real leaves and plants. It did not linger too long, or it would have turned into an autumn fragrance. The orange juice in this perfume, heightened by the sparkling aldehydes, gives it a freshnesss and spring like quality. The dry down is initially powdery and then become dry like dry leaves on your skin. So Pretty is not the astounding fragrance I thought it would be. I thought it would be similar to the glamour in First by Van Cleef and Arpels. This is stil a very lovely fragrance and it falls under the category of FLORAL CHYPRE. This is not an Oriental as the notes do not come from the Orient nor evoke Persia, India or China. This smells more like the Mediterranean: the south of France, Monaco, Monte Carlo, the eastern coastline of Spain, Majorca, Ibiza, or like Italy, and Greece. It's really too fruity for me but it's not bad at all. It's a wearable orange. This fragrance makes me think twice about citrus notes in perfumes. If done right, it can be, like the fragrance name, SO PRETTY.
Cartier So Pretty really lives up to its name. This was another fragrance that I was gifted by my Grandmother before her passing. It was a vintage EDP Tester still in the box. This fragrance simply glows with beauty--at first sniff, I detected the Rose and Neroli, then the Mandarin or Tangerine arrives hot on the flowery-decorated heels. Its all elevated to sparkling new heights with the help of aldehydes. The creamy peach starts standing out, and for just a split second reminded me of my beloved Mitsouko EDP, BUT just for a few moments. The musk doesn't really come into play until the dry down, then I can really pick up the sandalwood as well. I've found that this scent can linger softly on my skin for up to 12 hours, and two modest sprays is really all that's necessary to really make a big impact. I love to wear this as my bedtime scent. Very soothing to a weary body and mind. I am a guy, and I have to say that I completely resist the idea of "gender branding" fragrances. To me, saying a Rose is "feminine" or "not masculine" (Hammam Bouquet anyone?) is simply programming and a marketing schtick. That being said, I've not tried to pull this one off in public yet--although I'm not adverse to the idea. I feel like it needs to be represented in a classy manner--bowtie or nice button down shirt required for me to really give this creation the respect that it deserves. It is a Cartier creation after all. A true Gem. Majestic and Regal in all it's glory. So classy and oh so pretty!
Another gem gone. Great scent as I wrote below. Lovely, elegant yet seducing. They discontinued it. So many raving opinions and Cartier didn't think it was worthy keeping it? Maybe they fear that a re-made So Pretty could disappoint its lovers.
This perfume meminds me a royal beauty, a timeless elegance, a fragile femininity, golden age of perfume industry. It's floral, oriental, yet light and soft. When I spray it I feel the most special in the crowd, I even don't need a fancy gown, I fell very special while wearing it. Really beautiful perfume, one of a kind...
i bought it when i was around 19 years old and after a while i felt like it was to mature for me..and this is one of the few scents that gives me headache..
