Eau de Cartier Essence d`Orange Cartier for women and men

I tested this at Nordstrom's today along with the regular one. This started smelling like laundry detergent like Tide or Cheer within a few minutes. Not bad, but not for cooler weather days.

I have always loved the scent of oranges, it reminds me of my childhood summer time at my grannys farm. This year I received Essence D'Orange for my birthday and I just love it.
The fragrance is fresh, very fresh but somehow it smells sophisticated and elegant.
Its a shame that doesnt stay longer on your skin, but thats the same with all colognes. Anyways, its a pleasure re-applying it along the day.
One of those perfumes I will always keep with me!

For me this starts out with a huge blast of orange, but it's a sweet not bitter orange fragrance. I do get a bit of the cedar right away too, but it is a nice contrast the freshness of the citrus. It then morphs into a florally bouquet of orange blossom, violet and cedar and on me it turns into a sort of creamy scent at this stage. Again the cedar keeps making little appearances to keep it grounded. The final stage is very similar to the heart notes on me. There is absolutely no patchouli for me, which is a great thing in my opinion. Sillage is slight, this is a skin scent and that suits me just fine as I don't like obnoxious perfumes. Longevity is great, at the end of the day it is still lingering around.

This fragrance is incredibly unique and sexy. Definitely one worth adding to my collection!

I LOVE this fragrance....I find it better than the original Eau de Cartier. It is a wonderful summer citrusy/clean scent. I receive many complements on this scent...a little more than I did with the Eau de Cartier. If you like the Eau de Cartier, you will love Untitled by Maison Martin Margiela. I also think you will like Voyage de Hermes as it is like Eau de Cartier and Declaration combo.

For me, Essence d'Orange wins over Eau de Cartier. Untitled is also better than Eau de Cartier. Voyage de Hermes maybe on par with Eau de Cartier, or it may be a little bit better.

Thank you-thank you-thank you to the one and only NatalieZ for this gem of a perfume!!! :)) It's just brilliant... maybe it's a matter of chemistry, but on me this fragrance is not at all unisex, it's very subtle and feminine, fresh, juicy, a bit sweet and a tad spicy--a perfectly balanced work of art-LOVE IT! Can't get enough of it! :) This perfume is turning me into a sniffoholic :))

I'm crazy about It ! Very sexy !

You know guys riadmahmud1 is my father? Thats why I came here to see that my father's 1 is still here or not. I like this too but longevity is really bad. I lasts for 30mins tops. So when i saw that logevity is bad, i was looking sad that day.

Opening is strong orange. Great for mornings before going to work, after shower etc. However, sillage is very poor. On me, it stays maybe 30mins tops. Then it is gone

I bought this one few weeks ago and never before I was so happy with fragrance. Smells really good, the opening is very fresh and quite strong but quickly fades away and from 30 min from applying it stays close to the skin... still smelling great but toned down. It's one of this fragrances that you just want to sniff 24/7.

longevity 8/10 (10h after spray I can still smell it on my skin - the base notes of course which are really pleasant) but:
sillage 3/10 (initial silage is great.. for up to 30 mins it's not that strong but it projects.. than after that time it stays really close to skin and you have to come really close to have a sniff of that stuff - which isn't bad thing really..) but it's all worth it because:
scent 9/10 !

I am not a big fan of Cartier frangraces for the unique reason that a jeweler must do the jeweler and a perfumer must do perfumes. I am surprised by this frangrance not by its being unique, revolutionary or else, but for its lasting power. Rarely have I witnessed such good staying power. It is one of the few "fresh" summery scents that lasts a bit. It deserves a mention of honour for this alone.

Nice touch of unripe citrus with some cedar sweetness to calm it. Nice casual item tough and perfect for freshening yourself specially after shower, but I don't know how can I wear it outside? It's only a home-using perfume.
The unripe smell of citrus males you relax and happy!
Proper for loose cotton shirts! WOW!

longevity 7/10
sillage 7/10
scent 6/10

Eau de Cartier Essence d'Orange is an excellent choice for summer/spring. A scent that at first, as the name suggests, stands out for its dominant note of orange, with a hint of sweet and slightly spicy chords, but much more subtle than the spicy notes of Eau de Cartier Concentree.

Over time, the orange decays a little, giving rise to the violet, staying that way until the end, which takes around 5 hours on my skin;
And as in Eau de Cartier Concentree, Essence of Orange is an intimate fragrance, do not expect a fragrance that screams in the face of others ... perfect for couples, even more for being a unisex scent.

I've just swapped this unsniffed and I love, love, love it!!! Recived it in a casual cotton sack with 50 ml of shower gel and body lotion.
This fragrance has not only soul but full body and personality. Absolutely unmistakeable.
Sweet, strong, flowery and intensive on the cedar (and violet).
For me it smells absolutely feminine. I will test it on my husband anyway.
I reccommend it not only for summer wear but all year around as it is very powerfull -on me at least.
:)

i love Eau de Cartier and i saw Eau de Cartier Essence d´Orange 100ml on ebay, bought it for 15 euros including shipping, i guess thats ok, even if its not that great like the classic Eau de Cartier...:) i guess 15 euros at least worth every cartier frag - no need to sample it before:)

This masculine scent opens with a rather nice citrus and quickly morphs into cedar. The marriage of these notes is nice but the lasting power isn't. Gone within an hour! This is a-m-a-z-i-n-g on my husband!!!!

for me this smells exactly like the original Eau de Cartier, its a wonderful creation by Cartier, fresh, clean, summery. just excellent like the original. if you have the original, you dont need this....

its sooooooooo delisuous perfume im man an im so happy whit this one so elegant ans summer jusst perfect ,my wife its crazy whit this one hehehehe

Wonderful opening scent - the orange scent is crisp, clean, not overpowering and neither sweet nor bitter. Unfortunately, 15 minutes later, little remains...while it is quite nice, it has even less lasting power that the original eau de Cartier (which is in my favorites for summer). So while I enjoyed the sample, I will not be investing in a bottle of any size.

Hi everybody - mostly those smelling nice;-)

It's my first review around - although I've been sniffing these website for many monthes ago.
Cartier et ses Eaus... - oh mon Dieu qu'il sent bon!
Wonderful opening sparkling orange blossom that kind you passing a garden full of orangiers...(and believe me I know what I'm talking about because I live in South Portugal in a land of top class orange farm producers dating Arabian Culture - Yes, not that entedious kind of orange smell JPG type! Almost freesing natural silently followed by flowers in the very same garden - Eden? - and the end what else but skillfuly crafted top class woodsy-patchouly... CLASS. Buy the big bottle and enjoy it - it's not unissex - it PLEASES everybody, man or woman!

Very nice!
