Delices

There are no delights in this perfume at all. A very cacophonous mixture of sour cherry with freesia ,which I do love, smeared with dark Tonka beans. This darkness is enhanced by powdery violet and sweet vanilla in addition to the flowery hints of jasmine, the freesia also enhances the floweriness of jasmine and fruitiness of cherry, producing an incomprehensible fragrance that is very confusing, closer to a distorted version of Midnight Fantasy.

I bought this when it was newly released which is quite a while back. It's an intense sour cherry perfume for sure. Ended up being quite gourmand as the perfume dries down.

Hmm. After wanting to smell for awhile I finally got a sample, I'm not super impressed. I lean more towards Lost Cherry or givenchy live irresistible deliciuse for cherry smells. This definitely dried down more floral, and almost soapy. I think the freesia kind of ruined the fragrance for me sadly :(

Today this is my SOTD. It’s hot and humid here in NY, looking to see how this does. I just purchased this not to long ago. I used to own this a while back but got rid of back in the day. This is not your TF Cherry scent at all, it’s quite different more powdery fruity floral than straight up cherry. Now mind you this is on my skin. I feel anyone can wear this, unisex! This is so beautiful and I am loving this in the summer but I bet this will do well in the colder months for sure! Longevity is good about 4 hours than close to skin, sillage is also good also close to skin. Get your hands on this if you can. Highly Recommended 9/10.

It starts with a very juicy and sweet cherry. I love love love it! Then the cherry softens and becomes a floral scent mixed with some cherry. This is lovely. But as the cherry fades this becomes a genetic floral scent. And then it becomes a skin scent by the time I get to the dry down. I would describe this as a grown up Le Petit Robe Noire by Guerlain.

Delice edt starts initially with a strong blast of alcohol and an unripe cherry note, a bit tangy and medicinal. This soon dissipates and I feel some sharp pink pepper, a tad synthetic but again is very transient. Some shy florals peek in next but soon say goodbye as well. The longest and most beautiful phase is the dry down, where a soft powdery vanilla-tonka accord is added to the cherry. The cherry is now more sweet and juicy 🍒 deserving its Delice name at this stage. Unfortunately it is a very close skin scent with my chemistry and lasts 3-4 hours max. But nonetheless Delice edt is a very lovely elegant mild gourmand in the dry down.

I hated this the first time i tried it. It was so cloying, medicinal, and yuck. One week later, i gave Delices Cartier another try and it changed my opinion about this frag. I'm still not a fan of its beginning phase tho, so medicinal-cherry boozy and smells a bit weird on my skin. After a while, it becomes warmer, more floral, and lovely nutty. I couldn't help not to sniffing it all the time. Not a love yet, but i really like its vanilla-ambery-cherry-nutty drydown.

The cherry note here is tart, but not as tart as the one in Lost Cherry. The dry down is a tad on the medicinal side, but not unpleasant. With its moderate sillage, it would be a great casual scent for work. I liked this a lot, but honestly I would buy Black Perfecto before I bought this.

This scent seems so polarizing based on reviews. Definitely not a middle of the road scent. It was gifted to me and I’m actually quite pleased with what it delivers. I love cherry and I get lots of it here. Not quite Tom Ford Cherry but I find them similar enough. and Delices is a bit more affordable even discontinued. Would I wear it everyday, probably no but when I needed a Very Cherry pick me up…absolutely. It has its place in my collection and that bottle is adorable.

I very rarely actively dislike a perfume, here on the site or in real life. But this one I just couldn't get. Despite the negative reviews I'd read, I was optimistic that I would like, or even love, this because I'm partial to cherry scents. I was pretty dismayed when I finally got to try it for the first time from a used bottle I got. At first, I thought maybe it had already turned and that it was staleness I smelled. But recently I tried Delices again, this time from a brand new sample vial. Well, it just smelled the same as before. On to the scent. I didn't really get the cherry or maybe it's not the sweet gourmand cherry I was looking for. I didn't find it sweet and in fact, there was something savory in the fragrance. I couldn't figure out what note might be giving me that impression. In fact, I couldn't really pick out any of the notes. It was just a strange, unsettling smell to me. I'm disappointed I didn't get any of the goodness mentioned in some of the reviews here. Maybe it just doesn't work on my skin chemistry. It would probably be safer to try this out first before going for a full bottle.

The first time I smelled this I did not know quite well how to react. To someone who likes fresh, dainty and aquatic notes this was a bit too sweet and strong for my liking. But that time I wasn’t into perfumes yet, so this pretty little bottle collected dust in my cabinet. Fast forward to my recent resurgence of appreciating different scents and fragrances, I went back to sniff this gem again. This time I enjoyed the rich cherry aroma it left on my skin. It smells so decadent, even luxurius perhaps. Lasts so long too. Now I am quite happy I have this tiny bottle that is loved as it rightfully deserves.

Wearing this on a crisp & bright late Autumn day today, the EDT version. I think it performs well for an EDT. Cherry season is long gone in the southern hemisphere, but I can still get my cherry fix. Have not tried the EDP, it is hard to come by now. I enjoy this perfume as a mature fruity floral that is quite a unique scent in my experience. The cherries are young and fresh, perhaps not quite as ripe as I'd like them to be in the opening, but they soften as the fragrance dries down. I often wear Delices around Christmas time so it feels like a festive scent to me. The fact it’s a lighter fresher take on cherry, bodes well for Summer holidays down under.

Много вкусно! Тонката и ванилията подслаждат много черешата, но амбрата дава дълбочина и го спасява от това да бъде просто сироп. Много плътен и траен аромат.

2020: still nothing like this. Also own and cherish the EDP, although I find them quite different. This isn't just a 'watered-down' version of the edp, as is the case with many scents. I remember Fruitee not being to my taste back in the day, never purchased it.

This perfume is in danger of extinction and finding it today is not an easy job if you don't scrutinize well. This is a perfume that, as the name implies, is a delight, but not just any delight but a delicacy worthy of fancy restaurants. A super powerful aroma, elegant, luxurious and extremely delicious, and no, better don't eat it! This smells of pure cherries 🍒, tonka bean, pink pepper, vanilla and amber, among other high quality notes. An incredible power and excellent duration. Cartier presents this perfume in this way "it is a perfume created to shine, bewitch, play, wrap in light and sensations." Every time I use it I feel very special. I was lucky to get this bottle. I am a man, by the way, and I feel very confident when I wear this luxury scent.

Opening is a medicinal cough syrup cherry. After a couple minutes it mellows to a beautiful clean fruity floral. It has a sharpness at the front that I can't place... almost like cinnamon. Very strong and it smells exactly like a high end jewelry store. Definitely a sophisticated experience.

I first smelled this when I was 16 or 17, and I thought about it for years before finally caving and buying it. I’m glad I did. At that age I think the booziness made Delices feel a little forbidden, sensual and grown-up to me, but I still love the scent now in my late 20s. There’s something unique about it in my opinion. The only scent that has ever reminded me of Delices is JDP In Black, although I perceive Delices as a little brighter, lighter and less smoky. To me this smells just like the bottle looks. It’s bright red and juicy, like a slightly tart and alcoholic cherry. The cherry scent is definitely prominent, but it doesn’t come off as overly sweet/medicinal on my skin as some people have experienced. Maybe it's the vetiver that balances out the sweetness on me? This scent might generally be best for fall and winter due to its potential for sweetness, but I also personally love to wear it on summer nights after the air has cooled off a little. Something about it just feels very summery to me...the boozy-fruity vibe makes me think of a fruity cocktail as a few others have said.

Interesting. My previous comment was pretty harsh on this perfume, but I think I may have prematurely judged this one. I wore it again today and while it does smell like a boozy cherry, it was not bad. It reminds me of a cherry cordial. I finished my sample and I wonder if I should give it another shot, although I would be reluctant to get a full bottle.

Oh geez, this smells downright MEDICINAL for the first several minutes. Still quite a noticeable cough syrup scent for the first hour or two. I wanted to wash it off but decided to keep it on and give it a chance. The drydown is nice enough but by that point, I have to put my nose close to my skin to smell it. By then I'd normally reapply, but I don't want to reapply this perfume. Fortunately, I have just a sample. Let's see if I can finish even /that/ up. I like cherries but I don't like smelling like cherry cough syrup, thanks.

hated it at first it was this plastic scratch and sniff mess of ugliness then it bloomed and I loved it and couldn't stop sniffing myself; the top is cherry but it smelled like green apple to me then pepper and freesia; in the drydown there was musk and it turned into a soapy floral like a vintage fragrance

per OCD Scents, I am trying to wait and not wash this off. It does spray on strong, medicinal and to me, like bitter cherry pencil shavings. I thought I would love this, but so far, a dislike for me. I will edit if things improve as time passes.

I received some samples and body lotion today, I have to say it wasn't what I expected. It' very similar to Jesus del Pozo's In black. I was hoping for a brighter sweeter cherry this one is very deep and smokey. Very strong also especially for an EDT. First spray is a blast of medicinal/ alcohol smell. It takes quite a while to settle down.The dry down is nice though very creamy and powdery. I will use what I have but won't be purchasing a full bottle. I was sure I would love it since the list of "if you like this" perfumes are quite a few I own. So to sum it up it's not a bad scent but it's not great either. Edit: I think this is growing on me the more I wear it the more I like it.

I usually write reviews at the end of first day of full wearing a perfume since I can't wait long to share my thoughts,after weeks or months pass I edit my reviews if necessary but in this case I couldn't write a review with just one time wearing it as I find it complex and difficult to describe Cherry isn't a favorite perfume note for me.if prominent I usually face a difficult time to get along with it but after some time I can like them.guerlain la petite robe noir,cacharel gloria and Paris hilton dazzle were my only cherry perfumes before buying cartier delices and it's not similar to any of them. Lately I saw a 1oz of cartier delices edt in my local perfume shop.I'm a sucker for beautiful bottles,I specially like cute tiny 1oz or smaller bottles and cartier delices has one of the prettiest bottles I've ever seen.when SA sprayed it on my hand I thought it smells horrible!a chemical blast of cherry cough syrup but it was priced just 20 dollars so I decided to buy it as a decorative object It's initial phase was a blend of cherry,alcohol and pepper,a unisex scent with a medicinal vibe.I expected to see a boozy note like amaretto.I can't call it sweet in that stage as tart and bitter flavors didn't really let it's sweetness to show up.sillage is very good so I was nervous because a cherry vodka is the last thing I want to smell like in public but it doesn't take long to turn to something lovely! Cherry is still there and it stays all through it's long life as prominent note(yes,however it's an edt,it has satisfying duration and projection)but pepper and alcohol fade away so sweetness can start to showup.cartier delices is a gourmand as it's name suggests but it's not overly sweet,at least not on my skin. During my first tries what I could smell after it's medicinal opening was a plain cherry gourmand like cherrys deeped in chocolate,a nice smell but it became tiring and even overwhelming after some time.actually I could just smell it's opening and drydown but suddenly one day I discovered adorable powdery notes which wrapped cherry to add an elegant feminine vibe to it's playful tart and sweet deliciousness.first time I tried it,I couldn't pickup much florals but now I can detect jasmine and violet which smell devine blending with cherry and almondy tonka.unfortunately flowers don't last til the end and it dries down to a warm,cherry gourmand,a blend of cherry and base notes.it's nice but if it's middle phase lasted I could I love it My biggest hope was being able to tolerate this perfume so imagine my happiness of finding an unexpected favorite!but as mentioned before it took couple of wearings for me to change my mind and start to like it.make sure not to overspray.if you apply it more than what you have to,it's initial blast overwhelms you in a way that you may become anosmic to it's other beautiful notes Cartier delices is a gourmand for grown up ladies IMO,it's wearable by a teenager and also her mother but I suppose it won't be intresting for a teenage girl as much as some celebrity gourmands out there.I believe it's better to wear it in mild to cool weather,spring/summer night as well as fall/winter days I tried jesus del Pozo in black just once and a long time ago.from what I can remember,it seemed to have some similarities with cartier delicious but it was darker,smokey ,less sweet and something which could easily pass as unisex Buying cartier delices was a good decision,experiencing and owning something different with my usual staples is exciting but I think this adorable,super cute,jewel like 30mil bottle would be enough for me.it has sensuality and playfulness at the same time,if you'd like a mixture of cherry,vanilla and powder give it a try while you can as it's vanishing from shells and perfume sites

This is the initial fragrance I had years ago that got me long for more gourmand scents. Starts fruity, ends with chocolate and cherry. I prefered to wear it at night when the weather was a bit humid but the wind felt a bit cooler ( I live in tropical country) since the sillage would be better.

Got a sample of this. I am VERY partial to cherries, so I had a head start on loving this. Delicious scent, fruity, but somehow also very clean and bright. Good sillage.

IMHO body lotion if Delice is a gem!! itv ro ably the most seductive body lotion I have tried , it miraculous chemistry wih the skin brings the best out of it. Try it ! Highly highly recommended!

It does smell a lot like Jesus del Pozo In Black, which I should be crazy about on paper, but I am not crazy about it in practice. I find this one nicer though. The cherry is the star player here, flanked by tonka and a tolerable pink pepper. I wouldn't get a full bottle, but it is certainly pleasing.

A delicious gourmand fragrance from Cartier! I have their So Pretty and Baiser du Dragon which smell nothing like this. This is a vanilla perfume. It's big on sweet scents of cherry and violets. A little bit like Lolita Lempicka in it's sweetness and femininity. The soft flower of freesia harmonizes with the violet. They're delicate flowers and the vanilla at the base, along with amber, seal the deal. I also like the unusual bottle. I like to put this on immediately after a shower and before I head out. I would say that it's both a day time and evening fragrance. Definitely forspring summer and fall. A beautiful gem.

I was looking for a dupe of my beloved Jesus de Pozo Black edp so I got hold of a sample of C Delice edp thinking 50 something people must be right. Well, err, no they are not right. This is just a sickly liquid cherry boiled sweet in a bottle. Tonka is sweet as well as the vanilla and in the end it just becomes too much. Migraine inducing juice for me. It has none of delicious smoky depth or mystery that is in Black. Some say it has a medicinal quality and I wouldnt argue with that. It is a relief that I found my closest dupe in Guerlain La Petite Noir Robe edp of all places.

I just blind bought this, and I was really excited! I love cherry gourmands! La Petite Robe Noir EDP is my favorite, and I also have Jesus Pozo's In Black. In Black is waaaay too dark, medicinal, masculine, and incense-y for me. I don't mind it.... but I def don't get the cherry from In Black. Delices IS In Black. At least on paper. (I can't try it on my skin until later, after work, I'm wearing Classique today and they def won't mix! Haha!) Damn... I wanted to love this, and buy more... lol... but Nah.... I have 2 In Blacks that I blind bought. Delices has some green/fresh notes I'm getting, in addition to the same dark incense of In Black. It must be the bergamont and pepper giving me green/masculine vibes? I do not get sugar, cherry, vanilla, or anything candy-like, gourmand, or sweet. Bummer. The paper drydown is lighter than In Black, which works for me. I can't wait to try this on my skin, but I don't have huge hopes. While I don't find "tobacco" in In Black, I do detect a drydown tobacco with Delices. After wearing on my skin and forming a real opinion.... I like this more than In Black, it's lighter and sweeter. I find IB to be heavy and manly and very very incense-y. However, they are still very much alike.... and while I like the drydown of Delices much more-- it's too weak/skin scent by that stage. I like it, I'll use my 1.7 oz bottle, but I probably wouldn't repurchase, esp because I have so much In Black. The Delices drydown is a sharp cherry vanilla. If that was the entire perfume, even if it was linear, I would like it very much.
