Delices – a Pleasure of Smelling and Seeing

The usual way of classifying fragrances is by the olfactive group they belong to. But, it is also very interesting to point out fragrances captured in luxurious bottles which present a really original imagination turned into a beauty. In that sense, Cartier has created a bottle which is a real catch for collectors, both due to its high price and the limited number of pieces.

Each of the exclusive limited edition bottles is hand-blown made of Saint-Louis crystal, with flower-carved cap. There are only 350 such bottles and they can be purchased exclusively at the Neiman Marcus web site at the price of US$2.100 per bottle.

The fragrance captured in this crystal bottle is the well-known Delices, a seductive and provocative fragrance launched by Cartier in 2006. The rich notes of frosted cherry, pink pepper and bergamot surrounded by three different kinds of jasmine, freesia and violet in the heart, lead the way to the Tonka bean, amber and sana in the base. The luxurious aroma and the bottle design of this edition make a perfect and desirable match.

In addition, this fragrance has got a bottle for its parfum extrait. The bottle follows the shape of the original 2006 Delices bottle shape, carved and engraved like a jewel with, this time, red transparent flower on the top enhanced by a white cabochon. This 30ml bottle is available at the price of US$160.
