It wasn't until 1981 they launched their first ever perfume Must de Cartier, a green Ambreé fragrance which would be the first of many estimable fragrances to come out of Cartier, ten of which have been deemed the most appealing.

Déclaration Haute Fraîcheur by Cartier

Déclaration Haute Fraîcheur by Cartier

Déclaration Haute Fraícheur is a wonderful spring and summertime perfume. The green and fresh notes are reminiscent of citrus and freshly cut grass that are so well defined, it might as well be a signature spring cologne. In the end, the citrus is well done, and rests on a very green base. If you like this, you would love Elizabeth Arden's green Tea or CK One Summer 2021. They cost less but smell extremely similar.

  • Base notes: At the base, Cedar
  • Perfume Gender: Unisex

Le Baiser du Dragon Eau de Parfum by Cartier

Le Baiser du Dragon Eau de Parfum by Cartier

Le Baiser du Dragon would send you into a land of delight. Alberto Morillas successfully made this an alluring grown scent that is heavy in the winter and airy in the summer. It starts off bitter with the Amaretto note taking the center stage, and the floral notes that start to peek through at the heart get greener rather than sweet. The gardenia note is not like you would find in La Panthère, another masterpiece from the house of Cartier, but a laid back gardenia, in a supporting role - mixed beautifully and rounding some of the more prominent woody and earthy notes. After the louder beginning, it soon settles into a slightly boozy, mysterious oriental - you feel woods, almonds, amber and finally, some delicate gourmand touches, especially up close and not so much in the air.

  • Top notes: Opens with Bitter Almond, Neroli, Gardenia, Amaretto
  • Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Jasmine, Rose, Musk, Iris, Cedar. 
  • Base notes: At The Base, Patchouli, Amber, Cedar, Vetiver, Dark Chocolate, Caramel, Benzoin.
  • Perfume Gender: Feminine
  • Scent Accord: Amber Woody
  • Longevity: 7 hours plus
  • Sillage: Strong
  • Projection : Moderate

La Panthère Eau de Parfum by Cartier

La Panthère is a fruity chypre fragrance that is easy going with a modern classic appeal. This perfume has depth and richness that make it a bit oriental.

  • Top notes: Opens with Big strawberry, Anise, Rhubarb, Bergamot, Dried fruits. 
  • Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Rose, Orange blossom, Pear, Ylang ylang, Gardenia.

Baiser Volé Eau de Parfum by Cartier

Baiser Volé is a soft clean fragrance that opens with fresh lily and green notes.

From one end of the lily notes to the other, is a powdered, sweet and slightly woody aura. When the greens dry down, you are left with the woods and powder. It also appeals to lovers of soft clean and soapy scents, so if you love Chloe by Chloe, you would love Baiser Volé.
