Delices Cartier for women

I must say at first spritz its overwhelmingly sweet, and I really don't care for sweet. The drydown however becomes so much better, the florals and amber come out and it turns into a soft powdery fragrance. Smells a lot like a tuned down Hypnotic Poison' eau sensuelle which I adore. But if you're looking for something that is sweet and fruity, I don't think this will satisfy in the long run.

Very sharp, cherry - fruity with some hint of old medicine - that's how it works on my skin. Sillage is very good, 12 hours on my body.

On my skin it's a lovely and creamy floral with a strong note of Freesia and Jasmine and a trace of Pepper and Cherries.
The minute I sniffed I knew I smelled something close to this one. On my skin it's close to Armani Onde Extase.

It's a very nice floral and at first I did not think it had anything awesome but I could not stop sniffing my wrist, the more I sniff it the more I enjoy it. It's so creamy and warm. I was surpised since at first sniff I sensed only the floral notes and the Cherry showed up in the middle notes.
The Cherry is so smooth and elegant, it's exactly the Cherry on the top of the white floral cake. Classy indeed, I will give it a love!

A Big *Thank You* to Anna_gr for giving me the chance to try this Amazing Cartier.

EDIT: This perfume has a strong but gentle base of Vanilla and Tonka Beans. The Vanilla is there even if they forget to add it on fragrantica. Because of the Vanilla I love it even more.

Very Good lasting power and good Sillage.
I wrote this review for the EDT.

not my thing. i have a sample that i tried last night, and it's ok, but i wouldn't spring for a full bottle. i don't get the wonderful cherry scent. i get something like si lolita (which i do like). i get all heavy spice all the time. and while i like spice this is too pungent for me. i think its the pepper not mixing will with the cherry and possibly the freesia (to my nose anyway). it has moderate lasting power, not great which also surprised me because this is pretty strong. this really isn't gourmand to me at all, more woody/spicy. oh well, it was worth a try, but i know i don't want more of it.

I received a sample with just the words Cartier Delices. After spraying it on my wrists, I smelled a beautiful cherry vanilla scent that stayed on me for most of the day. It was light and pretty and I immediately went on the website to order it. Hmmm- edt or edp? I guessed that the edp was the one I would want, so that's the one I ordered.

The next day, I was having doubts after reading some of the reviews. I ended up going to Nordstroms where I sampled the edp on my wrist. Not the same perfume at all! While the edt smells of cherry and vanilla, the edp is deeper, richer, and more mature. The edp almost has a cough syrup scent on me and was much more "perfumy". It didn't immediately strike me as cherry vanilla, which is what attracted me to this scent. I didn't like it until the drydown, where it became a deep, complex cherry. It's not bad, but it's not what I was looking for. There are perfumes I like to be complex, and others that I just want them to smell like what the notes state. For me, I prefer the EDT on this one.

my aunt gave it to me as a present when she came from KSA . i was so attached with the designe of the bottle , girly and romantic . the red colore shows the cheque side of it
its heavy and lasts for long hrs . i felt it smell changed when i left my clothes smoothy n soft , but essential
it doesnt reminde me of any other perfumes but u can put it at night or a formal occation !
enjoy it
I guess it all i need :)

Initially very sharp fruitiness but within an hour it transforms to warm caramel-covered cherries.Very pleasant.
Sillage and longevity are excellent.I didn't need to reapply for 5 hours.Compliments and enquiries aplenty,which is what I like from a perfume.

I wanted to like this but the initial blast is too medicinal and off putting.

The initial spritz is an overwhelming smell of alcohol - like cherry vodka. And I mean overwhelming! A turn off BUT the dry down is very pleasing to the senses! A hard to describe perfume - surprisingly light cherry/spice/floral. Like I said, hard to describe. It's a very light scent that I had to respray within twenty minutes but it's worth it. The lingering scent is a soft, spicy, bitter but in a good way cherry-ish aroma. Not fruity or summery, it's deeper and delicous. A unique scent that I'll wear again and again.

Smells like cherry liquor...or the inside of a chocolate cherry cordial. You know, the syrupy stuff with the cherry? Not bad at all. Just not particularly my style.

Trying Annick Goutal Petit Cherie and not liking it at all, I expected Delices to be something similar to PC.
Cartier Delices was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting sweet cherry jam, but I got just sweet cherries. Cherries became a little overripe on my skin by the end of the day, but nothing cloying. It's definitely different from all the other fruity stuff out there. It manages to smell expensive and delicious at the same time, almonds could play a big role here.
Bottle is gorgeous, while I wouldn't wear it myself (I like more peppery and woody stuff), it's totally worth checking out.
Cartier always manages to stand out, same idea, but different take and the result is just lovely.

I love this from bottle to the last accord. I think this frangrance is unusal.

delices de cartier is a nice cherry perfume! It starts like a cherry blossom(the chocolate bar) with a nice pepper,not too strong. It becomes a nice sweet fresia-jasmine blend, to finish with a nice tonka-sandal wood-amber base,mixed with that cherry-peppery note!beautiful,sweet,elegant,feminine gourmand perfume! Even though it's sweet,it can be worn by a sophisticated lady!must love sweet to love that one! Delices says it all,it's a delice to wear that one! Those who love hot couture by givenchy will love that one! Hot couture having that raspberry note and delices having that cherry note,quite go well together in a collection! But,keep it mind that they both have a density to them,and a beautiful sexy base notes...love it!

I don't like or dislike this scent :-/
I think the cherry and the almond don't go together well. The almond numbs the smell and takes some of the sweetness away. There's also nothing surprising or new to the composition. Sillage and lasting power aren't that good anyway. Won't purchase.

This perfume reminds me of Marc Jacobs Lola.
I bought this two days ago and i really dislike it :((.

nice bottle piece of art , the smell not my taste maybe
6/10

Normally a fan of the juicy floral fruity, I assumed I would like this. To my disappointment, I find it quite one dimensional. The cherry takes up residence on your skin and refuses to surrender the spotlight to the other notes. I have no objection to cherry, but I don't find that this is well blended. Sweet and pretty, but uninteresting.

Me da dolor de cabeza

I love this fragrance!! It's fruity and unique. Not your usual overbearingly sweet frity either, but rather dry and more intense..a bit darker and a semi bitter side, and not in a bad way. Def haven't smelled one like it.I am so getting the full size eau de parfum of this. Oh yeah, I find that the eau de parfum wears so much better than the eau toilette version of this. The eau de toilette version I did not like, it almost takes away from the scent.

man, i saw this at ross today and the box caught my eye but i didnt remember why. it is on my list of stuff i wanna try cause who wouldnt wanna smell like cherries. anyway i didnt buy it and now i am regretting it. im going back in the morning and hopefully it is still there. and i hope if it is there that is is as yummy as everyone says cause there are no returns after you open the box. ill update...

I am currently on my third bottle of this cherry-sweet stuff! I used to love it, but things have quieted down a little with it, as other fragrances have pulled me away. The bottle is the most beautiful one I have ever seen. It has been "crowding out" others on my dresser because I can't bear to not see it everyday! The shower gel smells so fresh and great, also.

I used to despise this one , but i reconsider it because my memory of it still hauntes me . So , it is on my 'wish' list for the Christmas that will come.

I very much like this one. At first it is very strong and heavy...after 15-30 min it goes away and leaves very warm, sweet gorgeous smell. I find it elegant!

I wanted to update my review on Delices.. it is growing on me.. the dry down is absolutely fabulous, its just the few first minutes that are a bit much. Infact the longer you wear it the more it actually grows on you, if you like gourmand perfumes ofcourse. I would say if you like gourmands, and like cherries, give this one a try. I think I was too harsh in my first review and I wanted to add that it really is a little gem afterall when you give it a chance

Delices edt is definitely not a breezy free-spirited scent, those cherries mean business and might be a bit pretentious. The opening is VERY cherry liquer, heavy, and not fresh or sweet cherry at all. If you're not aiming to smell like booze in the slightest, I would not recommend this as that phase lasts some time. It's just a bit thick and overbearing at first. In the mean time the florals, of which freesia is unfortunately the most prominent on me, are creeping up ever so slowly. They are eventually softened out by the appearance of the lovely trio of basenotes. The ending is soft, dustily sweet, and just ever so slightly reminiscent of cherry - like an empty box of cordial cherries. I find the ending to be the most pleasant part of this experience, and I wish it lasted longer.
I'm sad to say, this fragrance tends to be too stuffy for me, however I'm not writing it off completely as I really enjoy the ending. Maybe I'll try it again in winter. Unfortunately this blind buy didn't work out as well as I'd hoped. Sillage - good, longevity - pretty good. Sample this before you buy it.

I'm gonna start off by saying I do like this, but I was a little amazed on me that there wasn't that much strength to the scent on me and I did spray a few times on all my pulse points. It was a bit medicinal to me too but it could be because so many medicines I've had have been cherry flavored, so for certain this is cherry smelling. It is good, just not as good as I was hoping for. I like as far as higher end gourmands go Nina by Nina Ricci better. I will say the bottle is to die for, and the dry down is much better with Delices than the scent upon first blast. It's a nice one, just not the perfect gourmand in my opinion, but I had to try it and add a bottle to my collection

I tried the EDT on a paper strip today and although I wasn't expecting much, this was actually the only fragrance that caught my attention (and I tested at least a dozen). It is quite sweet, very fruity and yummy. I could smell delicious cherries and I love cherries so I will definitely go back and try it on my skin.

Update: Oh my God, on my skin this is sooo delicious!!! Dark smoky cehrries, simply awesome (if you are into cherries, that is). I am going to order it right now!

I have been in a cherry-phase lately, and after reading the reviews for this I went out and bought it....SO happy. For anyone that is looking for a sweet, cherry scent that is mature, complex, and not cheap or childish-smelling at all, then Delices is for you! I love the initial spray which is a sweet cherry kick, and I found that throughout the day I kept smelling my wrist and loving the change of the smell on my skin as time passed. After a few hours when the base notes kicked in, it was such a warm, comforting sweet smell that I actually made my co-workers sniff me so they could share in my enjoyment!

I completely agree that it smells so much better on the skin than it does on paper, at least with my body chemistry.

to me this is gourmand-oriental scent, exotic and smoky, mysterious and dark, captivating and intriguing ....something in it reminds me of an expensive french cognac....it makes my head spin without being drunk, i really like it!

P.S. this it how it smells on me, on paper it is totally different and i don't like it on paper at all...good i decided to spray on my skin, otherwise would have given it a pass....

I really hate It... It smells like cheap cherry liquor. Vanilla, pepper..spices and bla bla blahhh. Its cloying, sweet , heavy... It gives me a terrible headache .
..
Its old ladysh !
Its not a floral fruity...to me it seems too much oriental woody!

Stunning bottle! This starts off with cherry fireworks and as it dries down, it becomes a powdery floral - but it offers decent substance, body, and depth.

In my opinion smells a lot like Lalique Le Parfume but the later is a little heavier and DC is fruitier. Even many of the notes are similar... I have a mini of each one of them but for me they are not a full bottle worthy

Hi.

The bottle pretty much says this fragrance demands respect.You can really attract of people who can smell you.DELICES definitely defines wealth. Sweet,Warm,Ultra Feminine,Deep, Romantic,Gorgeous and Generous.

Vanilla is not at list but i find something like Vanilla at the Top notes as being Cloying for me But The middle notes is Nice full of Sophistication and Beauty.The base is Romantic and Warm blend of Amber,Sandalwood,Tonka bean.

Anyway It makes you feel Rich and The scent is for a Bold Lady not a Faint heart or a Gingerly Character.It is Suitable for INTIMATE occasions in AUTUMN/WINTER.Not Weird but Truly LOVELY.

Sillage&Longevity?Always are two Determinant factors for make a Noticeable fragrance and DELICES possess both.

7/10

I find this perfume really suprising. I was expecting something else, something far more frivolous.

It brings to mind olfactory memories I never knew I had stored of my nightclubbing days back in my early 20s. When heated bodies press onto the dance floor and the flood of scent from prowling girls mingles with the musk of horny young men. Dark & exciting, the dawning of a new stage in life.

I actually cannot really smell cherry, I smell liquorice. The soft, sticky kind which is truly delicious. There is also a rich sweetness blended in as well. And a hint of sneezy pink pepper.

Perhaps most suprisingly, I can smell a deep, lusty amber base. Normally when I think of fruity florals I don't associate a lot of depth or emotion with them. They are normally just a bit of fun. Here I think Delicies is having a bit of fun but is also really interested in going all the way.

Altogether an impressive fruity floral but it comes 10 years too late in my life journey for me to really get the most out of it.

A fresh floral and gourmand olfactory
signature mixing the fruitness of the
iced morelly cherry with modern
accord of a trio of Jasmines.

Deliciosa! Umami! This is beautiful, absolutely delectable. I could just sniff it for hours. This scent is that tasty. It's really warm and inviting, like smelling the scent of warm frosted cherries. I picture a bowl of ripe delicious cherries dipped in white chocolate when I smell this. Oh my God and there's the three different types of jasmine in the heart of this fragrance......JASMINE. Delices Cartier maintains its warmth even in its sensual woodsy drydown. I love the bottle. I love the fragrance. I love to wear this flirtatious bottle of juice. It truly is like having a slice of cherry pie in front of a wooden fire.

Warm, creamy cherry goodness! I sprayed this on, not knowing what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised. I immediately smelled cherries, but not in a medicinal, cough syrup way. They were warm, creamy and a bit flirty. Cartier Delices is on my "want" list for sure.

This and Armani Diamonds should go out clubbing together. They smell like medicine! I can't stand it, even in small doses. It's too bad, because the bottle is stunning, I want to eat it!

Floral oriental though you could be forgiven for thinking this was a fruity scent, it does fall into the crisp citrus/fruity sub classification... cherries, vanilla, light floral. The cherries in this are distinct, but it ISN'T a sweet perfume, the bergamot in this one is quite apparent and it adds a sharp citric tone to the perfume that is unforgettable. I do loathe bergamot so and that is the killer to this fragrance, remove it and it would be perfect! The pink pepper in the top is there, and its gently spicey and sweet.

The heartnotes jasmin, freesia, violet are so gentle as to pass you by, you can sense them there, but they are rather underdeveloped in this fragrance and a little underwhelming, jasmin & freesia are the most apparent. I would have preferred a stronger floral presence, especially the violet which is subdued and appears a little later.
The amber is quite lovely in the base, you can almost feel it grow,the tonka bean adds to the vanilla-y scent and it adds a soft gentle caressing blanket to the fragrance.
This is a slow developing perfume, so ladies you need to give this one some time to show its prettier side - that offensive sharp opening note does fade after a while and its then that this fragrance really blooms! I purchased the 100ml and would probably do so again, BUT this is not a fragrance I reach for often and I dont expect to be buying another bottle for at least a few years.

So what is Delices...?
Delices is Marc Jacobs Lola wrapped in a cotton candy shawl with a sprinkle of powder :-)
The pink pepper and cherry opens the fragrance which blends great with skin chemistry on a cool spring morning...After approx 40 minutes, violet and freesia emerge, making the perfume warm and feminine, romantic and sweet...the dry down is subtle but noticeable; for some reason I smell a hint of vanilla or benzoin (my nose has a huge difficulty telling them apart), although these are not listed as notes.
Delices has that slightly bitter note, not easily noticeable and not intrusive, yet adding a bit of ''personality'' to it :-)
Overall, Delices is about simplicity, rather than being an elixir of 30 different notes which are hard to tell apart (like in Poeme Lancome), it is a simple fragrance that makes notes easy to distinguish (The less - the more).
Although simple fragrance - it is not cheap and certainly does not smell cheap.
I personally prefer Lola (more fruity and fresh) but will definitely purchase another 30ml edp of Delices as even though Lola is my favourite - I deserve something for a change and Cartier Delices will make a perfect Lola's twin brother :-)

Cartier DELICES opens with a brief burst of citrusy cherry but moves fairly swiftly afterwards to an essentially amber-tonka bean drydown with a touch of wood and a dash of pepper moderating the sweetness. The tonka bean actually smells an awful a lot like vanilla to me, but vanilla is not listed among the notes.

DELICES is not overly sweet, as I had expected, given the name. I would place this quasi-vanilla/amber/wood drydown in the mid-range of sweetness, compared to the large array of fragrances that make up this genre.

DELICES is a pretty fragrance, but the longevity is unimpressive in the edt. I'd like to try the edp, but I'll check the notes first to see whether something new and potentially interesting has been thrown into the mix. Otherwise, I'd have to say that the novel cherry opening is too ephemeral to make this fragrance stand out from the oriental (not floral fruity!) crowd.

Hmmm... This is what I call a "délice"! Fresh sourish cherries turning quickly into baked goodies right out of the oven! The opening sounds perfect but in fact has something that I don't actually like. I don't know exactly what it is, but it disappears within 15 minutes. I think that maybe the bergamot and cherries clash a little bit.

After that, Délices turns out warm, sugary and very powdery. At some point it started reminding me too much of YSL Cinéma's dry down, that is really warm, powdery and gourmand on my skin. But then Délices got sweeter and sweeter and kind of strayed away from this resemblance. At this point, it is beautiful and yummy... a fancy cupcake!

However, I don't think I'll be buying this one, for a few reasons: 1 - I wanna give "In Black" a try and I believe it might just put Délices "off the map" for me. 2 - At the very end, Délices does get, in fact, a little bit too sweet and vanillay. I just can't believe that vanilla isn't amongst the notes!! 3 - It is also, a little flat. I'm not usually expecting complexity from perfumes, but I did find Délices a little superficial. After the top notes leave, that's pretty much how it stays for the rest of the time. 4 - Escada "Desire Me" has a similar dry down and is a lot more interesting in my opinion. It's deeper, with more nuances.

That's a shame, the bottle is gorgeous!

I love the smell(and eating) of cherry and this is delicous cherries.A great scent for everyone and i think this one(edt version) is better then the edp.

A wonderful fragrance for gorgeous women, and a touch of luxury for a working woman. This one will certainly survive the 2000s well into the new decade. Excellent stuff here.

It smells as it looks - a huge, tempting cherry bon bon sweet. Yet it is not juicy or sweet-fresh, it is sweet-warm and would lighten up rainy autumn days, it is probably the tonka bean that creates this warmness in this scent.
I was almost tempted to buy a bottle but I decided that it is that kind of fragrance which you can get tired of quickly as it is indeed a very sweet scent. But I would not resist a sample of this deliciously warm gourmand cherry.

a nice fragrance but very conceptual, created for please at everyone.
Cartier is becoming like other old perfume houses, very afraid by creativity and risks. Today, one word = business, and rentability ...
where is the glorious time of Panthere ? Must and all others ?.........

This is an absolutely devine scent!It is warm, subtle and pleasant. I always receive heaps of compliments when wearing it. Both women and men of all ages seem to like it, and they go "mmmmm, what are you wearing...you really smell heavenly and fresh!" The staying power is good(EdT)- and the best thing is that the scent never becomes too overpowering. It just lingers in the air like a playful butterfly :)

I couldn't find this one in any of the perfume shops where I live, and was more than a little afraid of buying it untested - whenever a scent contains jasmine and bergamot, a huge "PROCEED WITH CAUTION"-sign lights up for me. But I really, really wanted to try it, so when I found it online, I thought "oh well, if it doesn't work on me, I can always use the bottle for decoration".

I loved the opening, with its juicy blast of cherry and pink pepper. But after a few minutes, the jasmine showed through, so I braced myself and waited for the jasmine-headache to set in... but somehow, the toffee-sweet tonka beans took the edge off the jasmine and prevented it from breaking away on its own.
An hour later, all green notes had faded away, and left a sweet, warm, creamy, slightly powdery blend of pink pepper, cherry and lots of tonka beans.
On me, it's a lot more gourmand than fruity. A little less jasmine and a little more long lasting would have made it even better, but it's definitely a keeper!

ETA: I take back what I said about the lasting power - the base notes just go on and on and makes you feel as if you're wrapped in a sweet, warm cloud. Wonderful for wet, cold, bleary autumn days!

This scent is for winters, especially for Russian winters. It's very warm, sweet and fruity and when I wrap myself up in this scent, I'm not afraid of cold.

When I first sprayed Delices I thought, "Yum!" It was different, deep, rich and delicious.

For once, the bottle matched the scent; an intense, red and juicy cherry. Like eating glazed cherries or chomping into a toffee apple, this fragrance gives you that same type of joy.

When I stepped out into the Wintery conditions outside of the store, this fragrance really started to blossom. The scent was so invigorating and uplifting, it would be impossible to have a bad day when wearing Delices.

I was almost convinced that I would be adding this fragrance to my wishlist, when I went to smell my wrist again and I was utterly disappointed. Delices had dried down to what could only be described as the scent of plasticine on my skin.

I'm pretty sure it's the tonka bean note that doesn't exactly agree with my chemistry at the best of times. It was such a shame seeming that I had been enjoying the fragrance right up until that point.

I can only advise that before buying you should wait it out just to make sure your chemistry suits this fragrance. Otherwise, this is a fabulous perfume with fantastic lasting power.

I love the red perfume bottles.
I tried this perfume,but is very sweet for me;I wish it would be more jasmine and less cherry.

I totally agree with ktv0920! When it came out I was thrilled at a new Cartier, but I was disappointed! Still another overly gourmand, sweetish candied fruity plastic. Cloying.

Such a beautiful bottle and such a boring sweet lousy made fragrance! I am always so upset, when I just love the bottle and I can't have it, because the fragrance itself is something I won't be able to wear.

The scent is far too sweet on me. Strong too. One spritz on my hand was enough. I smelled a grown-up cherry floral- almost a spicy sweetness. However, I could practically feel it crawling up my nose. This would suffocate me in warm weather as well.

Wonderful winter fragrance. Bold,rich, feminine, sweet, alluring. I can recognize cherry,freesia and violet.

at the first spray it's so delicious and gourmand but after a bit it's all about pink pepper and something like vixen!ok the bottle is really amazing,but I didn't find anything special in it.There are more gorgeous fruity perfumes in stores.so I 'll save my catch.

I love the bottle, but i hate the smell of it..

I found this to be very strong, too sweet, and cloying when initially sprayed. But once I make it past the top notes, I'm in heaven! Definitely gourmand with subtle cherry and vanilla notes. I never use this when I'm about to leave the house...I only wear it out after the dry-down begins.

Only bought it for the bottle.

I was sucked in by the forzen morello cherry but it turns out it lasts for about half a second and then it becomes all vanill-ery. Yuck.

Gorgeous piece of artwork to have on your dresser though lol.

An example that Delices is longlasting (well, on me, at least): I sprayed on just a few drops this morning, about 7.30, and now, after about eight hours, I can still smell the perfume, as if I just sprayed it on! Amazing fragrance.

Delicious perfume, rich and warm. I only need a drop to smell like Delices for hours.

can't really understand what's all the rage about this perfume. I tried it twice and I thought it's nothing special, a bit common sweet fragrance, wouldn't recognise it on the street. But I intend to try it couple more times to see if anything changes

I did smell Delices by 1º time in a magazine. Immediately i decided to buy it.
Its a gorgeous perfume, with very pleasant notes of cherry, violet, and tonka bean. Sweet and sensuous. Strongest feminine.
... Also its long lasting. And for me, its stimulating...
Spectacular!!!

Frutty, warm, sensuous and mouth-watering fragrance in a gorgeous bottle - definitely worth buying!

It is (long-lasting), only it took a while with me - it seems to me that the skin has to absorb some of the scent, before it starts giving off the smell

great buy

I LOVE it

Is it long lasting?? Im thinking of buying this one... But I don´t want to spend my money on it... if it isn´t long lasting... :)

Rich, sensuous and warm. It is delicious... A deep cherry flavour. (I got the body cream as a free extra, and it makes me exfoliate like there's no tomorrow!)

It's not my cup of tea.... on my skin it behaves very boring but overwhelming and incredibly sweet.

I have appetite on these delicacy. They are easy. Sweetness is lively by note of fresh fruit . They are harmonious and very elegant serve.

Love it! A rich fruity scent, very lively and sexy. It's fruity and warm, but also spicy and tingling which makes it a very playful scent.

By the way, the bottle's wonderfully pretty.

Elegant indeed, but not for everyone.It tends to be overwhelming.

Elegant fruity floral for grown-ups, beatiful.

very delicious. I love the smell of cherries.

I agree. I also got this as a gift. I get lots and lots of compliments when I wear it. Hubby got me the eau de perfum and it lasts and lasts. A truly delicious scent.

I got it as a present and cannot stop smelling it - absolutely gorgeous smell. The best way I could describe it is having cherry pie in front of a wooden fire. Just lovely. Gourmand in a very elegant way.
