Le Baiser Du Dragon (for women)
Designer: Cartier Olfactive Group: Oriental Woody
!Cartier’s Baiser du Dragon (the Dragon’s Kiss) is a dangerous and powerful scent. Egzotic and intense, it will transport you into the world of fairytale dragons, princesses and princes. You can hear the burning of dragon’s fiery breath while bitter smoke envelopes you and your sense, but then, suddenly, this gentle warmth settles on the skin. Warm, woody notes are perfectly harmonized with bitter almond, floral notes and citruses. Top notes include bitter almond, neroli, orange and gardenia. Cedar and musk are at perfume’s heart, while the base note is composed of vetiver, patchouli and benzoin resin. It was created by Alberto Morillas in 2003.

Seductive, and luxurious. Slightly masculine. Beautiful orintal desing of the bottle.

I can't believe I stumbled across it at a duty-free, in the 'bargain bin' section. Knew it had to be good, being Cartier and never heard of it prior. Loved it instantly - very mysterious and unusual. I wear it only for special occasions and feel it is one of a few favourites that are 'me'.

around 50, fake red big hair, massive built, suit clothed and over jeweled business woman with aggressive manners.
This is the picture this scent conjures for me. If you are like that this scent will suit you too much making a caricature of you. The juice is harsh, bitter, very heavy and aggressive, slightly more mellow than Opium, but very masculin type. Too bad the bottle is beautiful and the name too. I guess if I love So Pretty this must be its opposite.

I find it very sexy. Reminds me of dark rooms and incense burning and candlelight. The perfect seduction scenario...
To wear when you want to let your dark side shine.
Love the amaretto and dark chocolate.Reminds me of Tiramisu dessert. Blends very nicely with the ceder and vetiver, keeping the scent on the border ...not masculine and not girly... all woman reaching away from sweet safe scents. Very smoky, dark and dry oriental, it has no hint of sugar or vanilla that after a while tires the wearer (me). Great staying power and sillage. For the self assured confident woman.

I think people are getting the "perfume gone Bad" idea from the top notes when this is first applied; it is indeed a bit of old turpentine/old lady/gone bad kind of hit. I tried this once and didn't go back for over a month! But I got brave and tried it again; I learned that those top notes melt within minutes into a warm and rich spicy-wood scent with tons of sophistication! This is a scent for a confident woman, one that has money or just wants to smell like she does. In short, I was frightened at first, but have now fallen in love!

It is a gourmand patchouli with melted almonds in it. Warm, comforting, beautifully done.
04/08/09 12:55:56
just awful! i tried this one last weekend after reading the good reviews about it...it's a perfume gone bad... i wouldn't recommend it...unless you are 70 and you lost your smell...bleah!
03/23/09 06:27:11
I absolutely love this fragrance. I was in Costco and a lady passed me by and had to come back and tell me how much she loved my cologne. I love any fragrance with almond, vetiver and cedar! This is a classic oriental that lasts all day. I guarantee you will get compliments and it is well worth the money!!!

To my nose this starts off with a strange "perfume gone bad" odor. It dries down to a warm/earthy/almond/insence base.It reminds me of Opium with a little less powder and a bit more patchouli. I like it.
02/14/09 06:20:29
I like it!
I don't find it old-ladyish at all. Of course it is more on the heavy side and I would only recommend it for winter... I suppose that is why some people think it is old fashioned.
Imagine a classic warm and sensual scent with some creamy almond and a hint of sharpness added to give it its unique and interesting character.

I´m rewriting my review: at first, I tried the EDP version. The perfume is oily and my first impression is that it is too strong, like "old lady perfume", but not totally unpleasant.
After three hours, the smell is gentler, but still dark. The almonds are more evident and the essence is becoming conforting.
Two days later I tried the EDT version. Still oily at spray, but the smell is much better. I could smell the almonds from the very beggining. Now I can say it is a good perfume.
My opinions: EDP is hell, EDT is heaven.
I bought EDT, I haven´t tried it fully on my skin.

If you like this one, just try the pure "Parfum" version too; it's much more subtile and sophisticated than the eau de parfum ;-)
01/17/09 06:48:32
Today I've tried the EDT, I can't really smell it. It's a bit citrusy, and I smell a little spice or wood but it's so light I really have to bury my nose in my wrists.... And then my nose itches!
11/11/08 15:16:25
One of my most favourite parfumes ever. I feel good, as somebody hugs and caresses me when I wear it. Mine is PP, but I like edp more. I've never smelt edt.

This scent opens differently in a different weather. In cool day I feel some "medical" note during first hour. The drydown is very delicate - you won't expect it from perfume which starts so intense. It is very sensual, gives me feeling of appeasement and happiness.
10/24/08 10:23:26
Sexy in the classic sense. This is NOT a sweet vanilla bomb - be prepared to let it develop on the skin before making a final judgment. Very dry, yet erotic.
10/22/08 18:49:55
if you don't like YSL 'Y', Rive Gauche, Robert Piquet 'Bandit' , Chanel N22, Shalimar by Guerlain, I would advice not to waste one's time trying this perfume, you woudn't be able to appreciate it. This 'classic' scenario happened to me, I don't understand these kind of smells, for me they're all the same, just some make me caugh sooner than later..they are all quite identical to me, I feel like being perfume daltonic amongst the fans of these scents:-/

Sexy, sophisticated, very long lasting...you will be noticed with this perfume. It is just beautiful. I, too, have problems with patchouli scents but this perfume gets it just right. Long lasting and ever-evolving: There is a lot going on in this perfume. For me, it is one that I had to wear several times to get the full range of it. It is unique in that it gives you a little something different each time you wear it which makes it interesting and not boring to wear. The amaretto at first was a little off-putting because that is not my favorite. But the beauty of this perfume (or the downfall depending on your viewpoint) is that it doesn't stay with one note for very long until it trasnitions into something else. The creator of this perfume certainly created a complex and non-linear scent.
10/17/08 07:37:08
I have tried this perfume a couple of times and was intrigued; the first time I loved it but the second not at all!It started to annoy me, becoming too overwhelming, too much…but it's got a very pleasant drydown on my skin and lasts long. I don´t know if i like it, but it is certainly special not an average.
10/03/08 10:03:15
Still one of my favourites. I have the perfume concentration, whih is incredibly warm and sexual, I fell very confident, very happy when wearing it. Fantastic, gorgeous scent!
09/27/08 01:47:44
I could never make it through the opening note. It's so hard and strong I just can't stand myself wearing it.
09/27/08 01:42:56
I really enjoy this fragrance. I can definately smell the almond and vetiver. Best worn in cooler months. This will be a great addition to my collection.
09/19/08 20:09:26
Very good oriental fragrance. I smell the mixture of incences and caramelized almonds. It's gorgeaus!
09/11/08 09:42:24
One of the most unusual aromas.
I was fond of it at once. When I've tried it in concentration "perfume", I could not resist.
It's simply magical... Soft, hot and fresh, sweet and bitter on the same time. Perfume is very delicate and warmer, than EDP. It gives me feeling of happiness, it inspires me...

I got one small sample and i feel there will be a day when i just NEED MORE:).. As you wrote, sexy and mysterious. Like old woody black box keeping all secrets...

wow, i can't believe how many great reviews there are for this perfume! I ordered a sample of this based on the notes...and HATED it. I usually like patchoulli scents but I did not smell it at all here. To me, it smelled like my grandmothers second husband...yuck!!!! I can't believe this is a woman's perfume. probably one of my top 5 hated, along with 'hot couture'
by Givenchy..definetly not my cup of tea.

I don't usually like patchouli scents, but this one is tolerable. The opening notes are really strong and different, and make me think of the Ginger People ginger chews. This is not a fruity floral, that's for sure! I didn't like the ginger-like smell of the first 3 hours, but after it had dried down some, occasionally I would catch this really nice deep, ambery vanilla-something smell. And it was me! It doesn't smell good up close. It's all patchouli up close, but just wafting around me, it smells really good, and has lasted for about 10 hours today.
07/01/08 14:56:19
This is absolutely beautiful. I always get asked what I'm wearing, and get compliments. The Amaretto notes seem to stay on my skin, and blend beautifully with the patchouli - try this for those special occasions. Definitely not a girlie scent - this is for the woman who knows what she wants - and gets it, too!
06/24/08 06:29:04
Sharp opening may put you off but after a while it turns into a very oriental perfume almost unisex.
06/22/08 23:31:46
Voted one of the sexiest womens perfumes on basenotes community
04/28/08 00:15:57
I love this perfume, it's been a long time since I found one so luscious and beautiful, very sensual and warm.
