I love most Cartier fragrances and there is nothing to dislike about this one,but also nothing distictive either. For me a lovely floral bouquet that was not very long lasting. I really did not get the Pepper and Juniper. I would not buy a big bottle unless I could afford to spray it very liberally.

the name "de lune" is completely justified, this fragrance is completely bewitching. soo dusky and woodsy, felt like twilight in a lush forrest. first spray was sparkling chilly/clean and clear PEPPER PEPPER PEPPER, i'm surprised more people did not comment on this. on me it was pepper with a thin layer of musk underneath. after an hour or so i started to smell the creamier white florals and the rose and more of the slightly sweet juniper berry. with the musk and spice of the pepper always lingering. was perfect on this cool winter night. i thought this scent was really magical, and completely unique unlike the other reviews. definitely unisex, kind of harsh but in a cool mysterious way. i can see how it wouldn't be for everyone though, but i love it.

reading the reviews I expected to smell something like Lalique de Cristal,but they're not similar at all.it reminds me a bit of Eau De Cartier,but the later one is much better than Lune.
I found Cartier de Lune very watery and transparent.it hardly even noticeable.since I smelt it in the perfume shop,it easily faded away by better fragrances.totally forgetable to my nose.
I'm afraid that it doesn't match the romantic name and lovely bottle.

something with maybe the juniper berries and the pink pepper..maybe the combo of it...but this perfume smells like metallic blood on me...high in iron content blood. like the smell of a rubbed nickel on top the smell of a bleeding cat scratch. Cartier perfumes: haven't found a good one yet!

I snobbed this one for long time because Cartier discontinued So Pretty and Panthere!
But Cartier de Lune doesn't deserve that attitude.
It's indeed a very pleasant scent with a clear floral and citrus opening and the rest is still quite fresh. I don't know exactly where woody-musk is.
Not usually my kind of scent but I could enjoy wearing this in summer. Cartier rarely disappoint me (if not discontinuing gems).
Anyway I need to test it again, because I was overwhelmed by other scents in the shop. I think there is more in it.

At Nordstrom they have these on both the womans and mans fragrance section. And the sales people are selling these as Unisex. Although I do see these as mostly a womans fragrance, it is very clean smelling and not too feminine. On mens skin this may turn a bit more woodsy/musky since the PH on men are different. Just last week I went to Nordstrom and the sales person was trying to sell me Art of Shaving products and I asked him what he was wearing as it was refreshing and bright and he said De lune by Cartier. And I asked him whats the verdict on it since its targeted for women? And i see it in the mens section at some department stores? And he said he knew thats its targeted for women but he has gotten many compliments by women while wearing it and he does not find it floral nor feminine. One woman heard our conversation and she told us that she buys this for her husband knowing its generally a feminine fragrance because she enjoys it and wants him smelling like it and although her husband did not care for the smell at first since its bright, he continues to wear it since many woman go up to him and tells him he smells good and to ultimately please his wife. Sometimes i do spray it on my arm whenever I come across this fragrance just to whiff it throughout the day and find its more manly side of it. Its very nice smelling and clean. Ive asked women in the womans fragrance section and they say they love it and it sells well, they gave me a sample and I admittingly have worn it to smell clean. Its generally a after a shower clean smell. Not sure if a manly guy would like to entice the ladies with it but women DO compliment it either because they feel it smells nice or because on men it smells a bit different. So thats all I have for my review on this.

It does smell classy and feminine with a soft powdery touch, but not really special. It smell like so many other perfumes.

i love it... fresh flowery and powder(ish), perfectly balanced. It just wouldn't last on my skin, barely an hour..i was shocked! However other people seem to notice it for a long time after my nose stopped detecting it. Oh well...this means i'll have to wear it for others rather than myself.

I tested this in the store due to a friendly sales assistant, and later had a decent-sized atomizer sample. It isn't life-altering, but it's nice, and very wearable citrus-floral-woods. If I had a slot for something like that in my wardrobe, I might consider it.
A couple of weeks later, I bought a gigantic bottle of Suave Advanced Therapy lotion and thought it smelled surprisingly great for cheap lotion. Also thought it smelled a bit familiar. I tested it side-by-side with De Lune, and sure enough, they are similar! De Lune is a bit more floral and lasts longer, though it doesn't have amazing longevity.
It might sound like I'm being snarky, comparing this to cheap lotion, but what can I say, they smell similar. If De Lune were in the drugstore for 20 dollars a bottle I'd snap it right up. Although I personally would not feel right paying 100 dollars for 2 ounces of this, it's an indisputable fact: there are people who just want a "nice" fragrance and also want a designer name and an expensive price to make them feel like it is "classy". I predict this will be a success for Cartier.

Too sharp, too fresh , too citrusy. I have to agree with the reviewers who do not like it.

Cartier obviously launched this perfume with the younger set, mainstream consumers in mind as it is not as unique nor loud as other Cartier perfumes. It is the most simple scent of all the cartier perfumes yet it still smells expensive. I find it's soft, subtle yet still very classy, white- floral scent very attractive. The scent stays close to skin (sillage is quite poor like many reviewers say), creating this really intimate feel. Even though this scent is light enough to wear during the day, I think that it is perfect to wear to an intimate dinner where only people sitting very close to you can get a whiff. The only problem that I have with this perfume is that it doesnt last long on my skin. Nevertheless, I love this perfume! It's intimate and very well made.

I like Cartier, but I wasn't impressed with this offering. The first spritz smelled sharp like grapefruit. I was so sure there was citrus in the notes (there isn't). The perfume became strong with a lily-like scent, and for some reason I find lily to be a flower that doesn't work with my chemistry. There is something harsh about it. With a name like Moon (Lune), I expected something deep and sultry. This perfume is light, refreshing, and summery, so I don't get it.

This is perfume is sweet in the opening with good floral combination in a different kind of way. It smells like fresh morning moist garden. Very springish scent. It gives me a rare and delicate sensation. Very feminine, subtle and discreet but caressing, intimate and soothing at the sametime. This is a pleasing scent, I like it but I'm not inlove with it. It's just not for me.

Probably will buy it.

The opening was sweet, soft and soothing. But after walking around the store for awhile, it started smelling like my grandmother. It was powdery and a little flowery. Definitely not worth the price. You won't want to go walking around with that scent.

after smelling this perfume this week I can say its a watery slightly aquatic perfume that you hardly can detect on skin. very soft. Like a kind of bodyspray not a perfume. A bit flowery with a woody undertone. Not something I like and considering the very poor sillage not worth a buy

I can't stand this perfume.
At first spray it reminded me of Avon Eternal magic, the same creamy-powdery way. But as cheap smelling as Avon does, so I won't buy it.
When I tried it I doubt that it is a scent for women because I found it quite unisex or a bit masculine for me. Very strange creamy-powdery style and not in a good way.

I tried this one in the perfumestore yesterday, its not bad but from Cartier I expected something else with more character. Besides that I had the feeling I smelled something like this before. In the past I owned True Star from Tommy Hilfiger, Cartier de Lune reminds me of True Star. I smell some simularity.

OMG, I can't believe this is the new feminine parfum by Cartier as it's so ridicolous. I'm trying to immagine the company meeting where they discussed the product. The big boss standing at the round table stating: "This perfume is amazing, we approve it, let's start the production". Are you guys serious????? Do they really think we'll like it? Do They really think we're dump enough to simply appreciate it because it's by Cartier?That's quite offensive from you guys at Carter! This is completely undistinguishable from other millions and millions cheap department store femminine parfumes of the past 30 years. Absolutely ridiculous and generic. If someone gives you a sampler, stay away from it. A very silly fragrance!

First time I took a whiff of this at Nordstrom, I thought I was in a fresh floral paradise. It was something bright, optimistic and made me feel like anything was possible.
The initial sprays I put on didn't last more than half the day. No problem. I had asked for a sample so I can try it again.
Since it smells like the perfect fun-filled weekend scent, I wore it on a night of bowling and well, all I can say is, mixed with my sweat, it sort of smelled like something I'm sure I had smelled before.
As lovely as the blue liquid looks in the bottle, and as fantastic the first impression, on second sniff, it's really quite generic!
So before you buy, sample. This is probably one Cartier that won't sparkle in the long run.

A strange fragrance: the opening, on my skin, is fruity-sweet, like so many of the modern perfumes. It does develop nicely into a smoky-soapy flowery sweetness, and on the skin it stays very close, however, where it was sprayed near my shirt, it is actually fairly heady. This fragrance is "almost": almost floral, almost fruity, almost smoky-musk, but somehow instead of being a complex layering with a fascinating development, it is...well, almost successful, but not quite.

I would probably not have tried De Lune this soon after its release, since it’s not something I was lemming after, but I won a sample on one of the perfume blogs.
De Lune begins with strong aldehydic citrus and aquatic notes along with some generic sharp white florals and a generic woody-musk base that comes through loud and clear in the top.
There are a couple of components that I like - the citrus-aldehyde top notes that are deep, full, and almost fruity, and a synthetic sandalwood base note that starts appearing in tiny puffs in the sillage within the first hour. However, the sandalwood never amounts to anything and just teases. As for the rest, it smells like Cartier bought some large vats of “Generic Drugstore #1”, added a couple of nice but incomplete cosmetic touches to it, and slapped their label on it. Not for me.

Among white-florals of the last year this one is closer to Versace Versense and Lalique Fleur de Cristal than to Calvin Klein Beauty. Cartier de Lune is some elegant fruity notes (not crying, just whispering!) on a powdery musky base of white flowers with a hint of spices that give the scent an expensive feel. The fragrance seems to stay close to skin.
Cartier de Lune is a good present for those who like well-made white-florals. For others it will be just one of the hundreds of such fragrances.

This is a discreet and charming scent where the white flowers are very present. As the people around me could smell it the fragrance disappears to me almost completely as it happens with me with Allure by Chanel. But it doesn't disappear completely,enveloping me with an aura of a certain mystery. On my skin the sense is warm and the musk is woody but also sweet. It is a nice scent for a dull winter. but i think for summer it gives a hint of sensuality as well. The bottle is beautiful, the designs makes me imagine that inside there is some powder from the moon, in a subtle blue series of bright tones that give to the base of the bottle the impression of having something inside, a lovely blue base.
