Eau de Cartier Cartier for women and men

Wow! Such a great and easy to wear fragrance. I didn't expect I would love it so much. I don't know why but it reminds me of Burberry Women scent. Weird, but somehow when I apply it to my skin it smells like Burberry on me, and I can't distinguish the note that makes them smell alike to me. It's fresh, soft, so feminine and I find it incredibly sexy. Great to wear to work, you won't offend anyone, I think even people with allergies will tolerate this. LOVE it!

Just wanted to add that i find it more of a powdery floral fragrance than citrus aromatic. I can't smell anything pronounced citric.

I agree with other reviewers that Eau De Cartier is not something to analyze in-depth or elaborate on, espcially if you compare it to any masterpiece from Cartier or any other house of the same rank. But as a separately stanging fragrance with its own unique personality or in comparison to many others within the family (especially cheap variations) Eau de Cartier certainly stands out. Very well made, smooth,elegant, with persistent sillage and longevity.
I didn't notice it when I first sprayed it on my hand, but when I put it on, it smelled somewhat familiar, like Prada Infusion d'iris because of its powdery note. Apparently it's the violet leave that gives it a powdery touch. I mostly bought it because I love and admire Cartier as a perfume house, so I had to have a full bottle in my collection. But even though I have more than enough clean and fresh perfumes, Eau de Cartier will have a special place among them.A definite successful blind buy, worthy of repurchasing. It's really hard to deny and ignore Cartier quality.

Fresh and clean with a powdery finish

Pleasant, fresh, light, inoffensive, but not earth-shattering. A perfume for the timid, it makes no statements. Safe. Really not a lot to review here. I guess I expected more from a perfume with the Cartier label.

Another bland Cartier creation. Still, I think better for men than for women. Lasting close to zero on me.

Very pure clean fragrance. Makes you think of steel and glass, architectural design. Unisex. Very fresh.

It triggers a kind of allergy and my neck started to itch, the opening with coriander is very sharp and irritating, other than this the perfume is nice and of a unique smell.

I think it's a really wonderful scent! I can't analyze it more professional and explain each note- but this scent remind me green garden (not floral) after light rain in such cloudy day....- something very fresh and very balanced, not artificial.
Unfortunately , I have seen only once pack of 5 little bottles (pocket size).
Eau de Cartier Concentree - is not same fragrance, and it can't be replace .
i would prefer Eau de Parfum version, something less volatile, but it doesn't exist.

A refreshing and very likeable soft composition that should work as a perfect example of how it's still possible to make a good "eau" avoiding the tipycal "neroli formula".

Citruses and violet leaf on top, soft woods and spices in the base. Simple but extremely refined. As long as you don't expect a super longevity or any sillage, this is quite satisfying (don't forget this is an "aqua"). To be used without moderation! One of the very few in this genre that I really enjoy! Very Nice.

Rating: 7/10

I loved this the very first spritz... On me it is juniper and citrus but it doesn't evaporate off my skin like most citrus... It is sooo grounded with wonderful cedar, musk, amber, and patchouli... It's like Gin and Tonic while wearing a full length mink coat with designer jeans... A confident woman who isn't afraid of her masculine energy can pull this off with great cool chic...

In answer to PassionBR, i also live in a very hot and humid place (right now, almost 9 p.m., 36°C !!) and what i have noticed is that eau fraiche versions and summer editions are the best for this kind of weather, while oriental fragrances are the worst cause they end up smelling completely different in a bad way :(
I love Davidoff Cool Water Summer Fizz (it lasts for hours on me and even if i sweat a little it doesn't dissapear), and i would also recommend Versace Versense, CK One Summer or Donna Karan DKNY, this last one even reminds me of Eau de Cartier.

What the heck is wrong with this one that I always forgot to write the review as well as to put it on my wishlist and, finally, buy it? And also so few opinions and votes...
Strange. This perfume is... the best word that comes to my mind is SWELL! :)) Quality, elegance but also an easy-going one (i.e. perfect for me), great composition - every note exactly in the right place, beautiful lavender! - it's not overpowering but is lasting and has sillage, the bottle is awesome, the crystal colour is so perfect... it has everything a warm weather unisex can have! Maybe there are just too many others that are more loud and calling for attention- but it's not a reason to skip this one! It is one of the best in its category.

Recommended!

I'm not the whether the major smell is the leaf or the chemical. I don't like it nor hate it but I need some time to figure out.

NOW I know why my uncle always says: "...BUT it is Cartier!" when I ask why he always keeps buying things (like Pasha) that HE says do not last all that long. The quality and elegance of this scent are evident from the very first spray...

The opening on this is simply amazing! Bright japanese grapefruits (yuzu) with mandarin's sheer sweetness is simply delicious, but the complimentary note of corriander is sheer genius. The cool green leafy feel surrounds the citruses and does not intensify them, so much as embrace them. In the heart, the cool powdery beauty of violet is balanced by warm and woody lavender with the awesome thick and green feel of the violet leaves. I also get something almost "peppery" here, but it really works for a unisex scent. Cedar is the predominant note in the drydown (for sure), but it is not too "woody" as a light patchouli and smooth white amber (less rich and incensey smelling) swirl with just enough VERY CLEAN muskiness to make this one hell of a scent! Cartier sould make a watch with one number on it and the most plain band and face and it would STILL be stunning; THAT is what they have done here. Eau de Cartier takes some VERY common, and sometimes overused, notes and creates something original, elegant and very sexy! I simply cannot stop smelling the back of my hand...what a treasure this is! Citrus, flowers, herbs, leaves, wood, and resins combined into something utterly genderless and extremely beautiful...I hope Christine Nagel won a FiFi for this; because if she didn't, that is a true travesty!

*Thank you ArkangeL, for finding me a small bottle of this and taking care of all the logistics to get it to me!*

Sillage: good
Longevity: VERY good
Overall: 4.5/5

Summer, spring, winter or fall; I can see myself wearing this in pretty much any season and for just about any occasion from "hanging out" to dressing up and "going out". I have many citrus aromatic scents and this particular one stands above most of them. After all...it IS Cartier!

Beautiful scent for everyday, everytime freshness. Great on clothing, not so long lasting on the skin but get the 200 ml and just spray and spray.

Fresh, light and happy scent. Short lived on the skin, but long lived on the clothes. Classical and modern at the same time, elegant and fresh at the same time. PERFECT

A subtle, transparent, violet scent with a light, herbal quality. Likeable... but short-lived on the skin, unfortunately.

I was summoned to try this one. Immediately I hated it. However to be fair, I let it dry down and I found that the offensiveness was nothing more than a shell that housed a nice goodness. Mellow, rich, and with this almost… cherry cigar hint hiding out on me. Not quite special enough for me to buy but then again, it is nice… actually, the more I smell it the more I began to feel silly for thinking that the one who summoned me was off…lol

This one has grown on me a lot. I remember the first time a smelt this and thought it was nice...delicate but nice but i had about six other scents on my hand and it kind of got lost in the mix as it were. I got a good deal with a shower gel thrown in and thought it would just be added to my "i own it but dont wear it" collection. However, after a wearing it a few times i feel that there is alot more to this fragrance than meets the eye. It is a lot longer-lasting than i initially thought. once the citrus top-notes fade the musky,iso e super bed themselves in for the long haul.
A nice summer, nothing to prove,scent.

This is presented as a unisex perfume, to me it is a male perfume. I've expected something light and fresh, this is woody and spicy.

Love the yuzu note!
The bergamot and musk are subtle, mainly projecting the floral notes and yuzu.
Fresh and happy. Casual summer fragrance.
Longevity is good but projection dies quickly.
A second opinion will confirm a purchase for me.

Hi.

I am Absolutely IN LOVE with this kind of fragrances Because Gives me Feel Comfortable and Calmness. EDC is Light smelling Citrus cologne Yet Remarkable. Unisex with a hinf of Masculine. Refined,Enjoyable,Crisp,Subtle, Refreshing,Harmonious and not overpowering.

It is a mix of Citruses in the top,an Aromatic heart comprised of Lavender and Violet and a Masculine Base notes by Musk and Patchouli.This Scents Lovely as People want to be in Your presence with Avidity.The Bottle is Stylish and Lovely too.

It is best for SUMMER Casual use,yet it is fairly Versatile fragrance. Good For OFFICE use when Your Colleagues Indignant with Heavy scents. Perfect for a YOUNG man. Anyway If you are Looking for a Fresh,Subtle scent You can not go Wrong with this one but I dont Recommend It to Anyone who is Wanting a new Scent.

Sillage?Decent.

Longevity?In My opinion EDC is one of those fragrances when you spray it on Your clothes Longevity is Better than skin.

7/10

Eau de Cartier is a really nice modern citrus scent. It's very sheer and masculinely unisex. It has a clean and fresh citrus as the main star while having woody note and floral scent switching back and forth. It can be comparable to Bvlgari Au Blanc as far as the way it stays on my skin, which is light and almost transparent. I love this scent very much, just wish it wears a bit stronger and longer like many reviewers mentioned. Nonetheless, I will have to invest in a bigger bottle when the price is right.

What a bright and cheery fragrance :)
This leans slightly more towards the masculine side than it does the feminine, but thats not a problem for me as i love mens fragrances.

On application, there is a blast of sunny citruses, bergamot and yuzu lead the way, with coriander adding a nice spicy, herbal kick.
The lavender in the mid-notes is pretty undetectable to my nose, but that is probably due to the double whammy of Violet - leaf and flower, lending this scent a sweet parma violet quality.

The musk and amber in the drydown must be of very low quantities as i cannot really get a whiffter of them, but the cedar and patchouli add a wonderfully woody hint, which lasts long after the top notes have faded.
The patchouli and cedar are also responsible for keeping this fragrance in Male/unisex domain (although i think the average (non-parfumista)woman would probably choose a more feminine scent over this)
Without those two notes in the dry-down, this scent would probably be alot sweeter, what with the abundance of violets and citrus fruits, thus makingg it more female friendly.
I,for one am glad of the woody basenotes, as the whole composition melds together so well to create a refreshing spring and summer tonic for you to spray to your hearts content with.

This fragrance is a personal favourite of my mums, she says it is so uplifting and boosts the mood.

Pity that it just doesn't seem to hang around for very long.

When it comes to Eau de Cartier (edt), my nose goes deaf and blind. After the commonplace citric opening I feel nothing. Once the top notes evaporate, the fragrance goes blank on my skin. I reapplied it several times to face the same effect – as if I were wearing no scent at all. Then after a couple of hours a faint amber and musk base appear (to be detected only with a nose pressed to the wrist).
I so much wanted to love this fragrance. I even considered a blind buy (fortunately, I bought a vial sample for a start). Alas, on my skin this is a dull echo of a scent. Disappointed.

Eau de Cartier
"Elegant and neat for the office,
daytime wear, it radiates confidence."

The compliments I get always makes me feel wealthy ..healthy .. and wise!

For those that love refreshing citrus-based fragrances with that slight masculine touch - Eau de Cartier is for you.

I'm not a big citrus wearer. I prefer to smell it on others rather than on myself. However with that being said, Eau de Cartier is certainly lovely and fresh. Perfect for a hot Summer's day.

The yuzu is an interesting note. I first experienced it in Incanto Bliss by Salvatore Ferragamo, which I think I liked simply because of the yuzu note. So for those that aren't too thrilled with citrusy scents, do try something with yuzu in it and you may be pleasantly surprised.

Eau de Cartier is one of those everyday type of scents. On the skin it feels clean, subtle and comforting.

In some ways Eau de Cartier reminds me of Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana. Possibly because of the citrusy opening and the cedary drydown. I do however love the patchouli note in this fragrance. It is spicy, earthy and delightful.

I did try to love this fragrance, however the masculine citrus note got in the way of that full-fledged love. The lasting power was rather weak as well, which only left me bitterly disappointed. However, as I mentioned previously, both men and women alike, those who love citrusy scents, will most likely love the classy Eau de Cartier.

The scent is good...sweet/sour type of scent, but for a longer lasting/better scent, I found you can blend this with, Clean Men, and it smells great

the best fresh, tropical, spophisticaded in a fresh way ever created....

An absolutely perfect perfume. I can wear it always. Is not overpowering just sweet.

EAU DE CARTIER is more of a light chypre than an aromatic fragrance to my nose, as the bergamot and lavender, usually loud in aromatic openings, are here rather low key. Instead, I find the dominant and persistent notes, curiously enough, to be coriander and a je ne sais quoi note--what I presume (ignorantly...) is yuzu? But the cedar-amber-musk-light patchouli amalgam in the drydown comes quickly enough to make this a quasi-linear scent.

Other reviewers have spoken of yachts, of which I unfortunately have no experience, but I do get the feeling of walking along the piers of a northshore town, perhaps Dunkirk, as this fragrance seems warm yet cool all at the same time--something like the feeling of a light mist of sea spray that has dried on one's face in the sun.

True to its intended market, EAU DE CARTIER is a unisex fragrance, with all that this implies, above all, a savory, even salty, rather than sweet or heavily floral demeanor. On my skin, EAU DE CARTIER has good lasting power and minimal sillage in the edt.

This is THE most flawless citrus fragrance that I've ever tried. I bought this instantly. I love it. The longevity is pretty good and the sillage is a bit close to the skin, but noticeable to those who are near. I would even dare to say that this beats Prada's Infusion D'Homme, one of my favorites.....

one of the best and most perfect fresh -musky scent ever created. love the smell.. its like a wind come from a cold forest in the morning... AMAZING SCENT..

I love this; however my boyfriend tried this and it was awful on him - all I could smell was violets - like the little violet sweets....good, least it means he won't be using it....

I find this leaning more on the masculine side... due to the musk and patchouli. Subtract the 2, and you've got a light and airy perfume. Very fresh and aromatic indeed. I asked for a spritz at a fragrance kiosk in the mall today... and I wasn't surprised at it's quality. I made a purchase online immediately after I returned home. I know which box this one's going in.

:-)

Fresh and clean I would discribe this fragrence like clean linen dried in the sun great on men and women try it together.....not long lasting enough though and the concentrate has different notes not the same at all maybe if they made a body wash and body moisterizer so it could be layered...but I just adore it anyway.

The salty sea-spray from the yaht is hazing the outer surface of my frosted G&T glass. The sparkling fizz of the tonic as the ice cubes chink & fall against the lime. The air is dry & a soft, warm breeze ruffles my hair & plays with the hem of my white cotton dress... the arrid coastline, littered with gnarled twisted trees & sunbaked woods, gets ever closer ...
in truth I am sat inside a cottage, listening to the howling wind & rain being hurled against the window with my nose pressed against my wrist...but a girl can dream!

This is a lottery winner of a scent. A yaht-owning, nature-loving classic G&T scent. It is young & fresh but still very "old money" - EdeC would hold the door open for you & pull out your chair - it most certainly is not nouveau, brash or classless.

All the notes are exquisitly blended & feel natural & high quality. It is clean (lavender & bergamot) without being soapy & has a dry, citrus peel feel with a distinct bitterness & earthy quality (voilet leaf playing with patchouli).

On women it is natural & softly sexy in the same way that a woman can pull off wearing a man's white shirt. On men this smells like a million dollars - divine, effortlessly attractive - it is just a pity it is not so long-lasting.

Unisex, but in a feminine way, surprisingly longlasting, gives that feeling of freshness and cleanliness.I usually get compliments when I wear it, obviously is not so weak and very comfortable especially in summer when all the perfumes become too heavy.

The perfume is almost unanimous, perfect. He proves that not to be complex to be good. If happiness were the smell was Eau de Cartier him.

Yay! Finally swiped this one from a superstore which shall remain nameless, and boy, there's nothing like a good bout of something for nothing that cheers up the depressed. And this is a lovely scent, ideal for the summertime, nice bergamot, a whisper of violet and violet leaf...I'd love to give a nice lady a backrub usong this. It's GREAT on a guy as well...absolutely one of the best things Cartier makes, and an ideal unisex present, you know, "this is for both of you!" (Most guys will grumble, though. Screw 'em. most men are as insensitive and selfish as women are venal, mendacious, and self - serving."

Eau de Cartier is a lovely fragrance, but unfortunately it lacks staying power. It lasted about 20 minutes on my sking.

Then I searched for the Concentrée version and I fell in love with it immediately...

This was my signature scent for about a year... I just loved the crisp, green freshness of it. I loved the brightness it had about it. Truly a great everyday scent, and even people who said they never liked or wore perfume would compliment me on this one. The top notes of lime and citrus and something else - maybe juniper? - soon dry down to something warmer, the violet leaves and patchouli notes, yet it is anything but spicy or overwhelming to those who normally run from orientals and musks.

However, unfortunately, after about a year of wearing it, it started giving me awful headaches so I had to stop applying :( Bummer! I don't know if I will be able to wear it again but I will always remember it fondly :)

I do not like this one.. it is citrous but for me it is too strong and sour. Honestly, all of my friends except one said it smells not good after sniffing it - and the one who liked it said it's quite masculine and freshly citrous.

Definitely not my cup of tea.

Floral-woody.

The inception of this fragarnce is connected with the great success of Declaration - edt for men launched in 1998. Women liked it so much that they wore it themselves.
Eau de Cartier was made with an eye to women.

Eau de Cartier, icw Declaration, has a characteristic, a bit dry woody note, but it's more delicate, gentle and more flowery.
The fragrance is distinct and cognoscible, elegant and sophisticated.

It is typically Cartier...very classy...All my female colleagues do like it a lot and they have taste...My recommendation for guys is to try it..

If you're looking for a "substitute", or complete replacement for Issey Miyake, this is a good replacement...if it lasted longer

One word.......Pure Balance...ok two words....sue me! alomst had acqua di gio theme to it with a metallic twist

I agree classy yet fresh and full of zest.

Fresh and tropical...is smells like moonlight !

Seem to give power and vitality for life, something like selfconfidence in a bottle;)... wind between juniper trees for me. Very citrus for the others...

I tried this fragrance when I was visiting my cousins. I was tired of wearing one of the two I took with me. This is a nice light and long lasting scent. It is not overpowering and a scent you can define as Cartier(classic, quality and memorable).
