Must de Cartier Pour Homme Cartier for men

when I first tried this it was more of a like..i thought smells pretty good, but I was not wowed by it, but slowly it has moved up to the love category for me . I always get compliments when I wear it. it is a very pleasing scent that grows on you, it is definitely worth sniffing out. sometimes it takes time to warm up to a fragrance and that truly is the case with me on this one. nice stuff..i could see this working well in a formal setting but also not too bad in the office as well if you do not over apply.

One of the reasons I didn't tried before this beauty is Must de Cartier pour Femme which my wife got as present and we both hated it, until it 'walked' away to her sister.
Yesterday I've come across in local Sephora over a lost-on-the-rack tester of this (along with only one very expensive bottle) and gave it a try...Ohh my!... what an alluring and elegant smell!. Smooth cinnamon over an oily barbershop vibe (I think anise, olive leaf, cinnamon and ginger are masterfully blended in top-middle notes) lending to a not-so-sweet woody-oriental base ('dirty' Cartier's signature patchouli, musk, tonka, little vetiver, creamy sandalwood) which I liked so much.
Rather average projection but pretty long-lasting and one of the best classic orientals in my book.
Needless to say I hunted a last bottle online which will be a staple in my wardrobe. My rank 8.6/10.

This is a subtle skin scent that lingers for hours. It's floral and sweet in the right amount, sometimes smells like coconut.
Smells good also in women, so i consider this unisex.
Dont expect anything heavy, but a subtle and sophisticated scent that will make you feel relaxed.
As said, sillage and projection are light, while lasting power is good, around 8 hours.

Cartier always working with perfection in their fragrances. Once again, they have achieved the task with a lot of success!

Although classified as oriental spicy fragrance, I prefer say that it is a floral vanilla scent for men. At least, this is the response on my skin!
I could say more: it is a completely shareable fragrance, with a hint of the female floral fragrances from the 80’s, embellished by the carnation and the anise flower without lose, however, its masculinity.

I have read lots of comments about the presence of cinnamon but I, as a lover of this note, don’t think that it has this power. Also, I can’t feel the citric notes. What I feel is the coriander, the olive leaf presence and plenty of its base: sandalwood, patchouli, cedar, etc., along with the beautiful vanilla that, I must say, it reminds me of Pour Un Homme de Caron’s base.

So, Must it is a delicious and pleasant fragrance that projects and lasts for long time. A
s it said in English: a MUST have!

Interesting and intriguing scent, woody amber and sweet balsamic, recalls in some ways Bvlgari pour blue homme.Cartier is warmer and straightforward.
A good buy for the winter and compliments are so many, in Antarctica you risk being chased by penguins.

Anisic Cinnamon, turns softer like a powdery musky cinnamon bun as it dries.
Has this milky coconut vibe the whole way down, like sunscreen lotion. Reminds me of Marc Jacobs. Minty Shaving cream like.

Cartier always has these strange takes on mustiness, with Roadster's Mint, and Declaration's lemon pie. This is a musky coconut cinnamon bun. Animalic at the very end, once it settles. Not too strong, but Good high quality cinnamon Vanilla musk. It is quite delicious but not in your face loud.
Lasts VERY long, but the sillage is very close. This is something people will only smell when very near you.

I have terrible news :(
This amazing fragrance is no longer produced by Cartier!
(along with Pantere and Le basier du dragon, Must II, So pretty)
People are crazy, really crazy! :(((

The first thing I think when spraying this one is "anise" :). Other than that, this one is what it name says - a must. Great oriental by any standard, with many deliciously rendered notes. It is not overpowering and would make a great everyday scent for fall/winter. It gets regularly discounted, so it can be had for a reasonable sum of money, which makes it an excellent value for money.
The main issue I have with Must for men is that it is not original. It is very well made, but it does not break any new ground. Cartier is not a house that makes landmark fragrances, even their power scents, like Must pour femme and Santos, are rather tame compared to many other 80s fragrances. They are not made to make you stand out, but rather to make a good impression in a discreet way. So, if you would like to have an original fragrance, one that everyone is talking about, and not just a very well made scent, you should try some other perfume house. I would personally try YSL, Guerlain, Gucci (now defunct), Caron etc.
8/10

The MUST have!

No words can desribe how much I love this scent. It's amazing, soapy, clean and original frag. I feel like in heaven everytime I'm wearing that. I totally obsessed with main anis tone, which drives me crazy.

Must de Cartier is a masterpiece of cinnamon.

This is one of those very classic, oriental/spice Cartier scents that is a very safe bet for men, provided that you can handle the anise/coriander/ginger blast within. It's not overdone or offensive, but well-balanced against the other notes and nonetheless a signature. Once you're past that, it becomes a very powdery-soft composition.

I'd easily say this is geared toward a male in his early 30's onward who feels comfortable with a more subdued statement in his wardrobe and isn't seeking citrusy sharpness or to be noticed for the wrong reasons. This will get the wearer noticed in a more positive light.

That said, this is a fragrance that hasn't been getting a lot of love from me recently and I tend to find that it's one that I'll pass on in favor of other choices. While very good, it also isn't my first preference for something to wear that day.

This scent is perfect. Simply perfect.
Although I'm not very familiar with their longevity or projection, I can ensure that in the level of smell this perfume is excellent. Very good indeed.
I love this one.

Cartier is EXCELLENT.

Must de Cartier pour Homme is a woody spicy fragrance, at first glance might remind Bvlgari pour homme blue (ginger is a known tremendously fantastic), but this perfume is also laden with floral notes that elude very imaginative and reappear in the bottom of overwhelming vanilla and earthy vetiver, warm fragrance is a mysterious and perhaps a little redundant, but a certain effect.
I think it might be his best season in the autumn when the first cold with the scent of this fragrance will capture and enrapture our senses.
Cartier creates masterpieces as always ...

Glamorous! Pure class in a bottle. Sophistcated, stylish, luxurious and elegant. A perfect attachment with a suit + tie for formal occasions, or as an evening scent for going out. A very unique and original scent. It can`t be praised high enough. I haven`t tried the essence version yet, but I will as soon as possible.

Like every Cartier, refined and elegant! A touch of classic fragrance with a oriental vibe, anise, mandarin, olive leaf (intense), cinnamon with a background by the patchouli, tonka and vanilla, this mix, turns into a coconut smell in the drydown, very nice! Projection good, longevity about 8h on my skin. U really must have this one!

Something extremely classy and ultra-chic!
It smells older than its year. Briefly, if you're looking for a high class and top manager perfume, you point your finger right. It's heavy in any aspects; scent, bottle and even the name! So charismatic and serious. In a party it can be only host's perfume. So overpowering and effective. I don't any one dig it, specially those who prefer classics enjoy it.
Although it's sharp and musky it's not bothersome and oofensive.
Rich and top rated perfumes for prosperous and thriving managers.
I suggest to wear it on a Bijan suit which is totally expensive, and you can rule a country!
Top guy's item!

longevity 9/10
sillage 10/10
scent 10/10

am surprised this is exclusively for men.the smell and even bottle shape dont help either.it should be unisex.my fear is one may be tempted to overspray which will am sure lead to headaches.it's soft but at the same time strong-if that's possible.lasts for a long time.I got it based on reviews but on application I can say am not blown away.If you do get glances in your direction when you wear this it might be people thinking you put on your lady's perfume so beware where you wear it to.lol.It's an ok scent.nothing smashing for me.will keep and use when I get bored with others.

Bought this today. Basically used this website to whittle down what I would probably like, it came down to Estee Lauder Pleasures For Men, and this.

Sprayed a bit of each on opposite wrists. Both were up my street and I would have bought either; though being thirsty went off for a cup of tea and a cigarette.

Took my sweet time with my tea; in fact went back for more. Why did I buy this? Staying power. After an hour and a half this was still smelling sweet on me, Lauder had faded and died a silent death after 30 minutes (and thats before I had even had a smoke).

Basically this is a lovely scent; I love it, Im 25, it smells great on me. Its not overpowering; yes it lasts for hours but its not blowing your nasal passages apart like some long lasting fragrances like Paco Rabanne's 1 Million For Men - which Ill admit Im not a fan of.

But this; its awesome; go try it.

An interesting perfume that I liked from the first sniff. I was going for Roadster but the last minute, change my mind and got the must. I didn't regret, i like it very much but I'm a bit concerned about the hours it last....it is not a strong perfume and I would prefer the same one but stronger.

Lovely fresh -green-oriental fragrance. It smells at first like a pen and it is harsh, but after a short time it is great: green, without being like a room cleaner, sweet, elegant and long lasting, even though in colder weather this is barely noticeable. Essence is stronger, but however it is softer and I consider it a different scent.

a trully elegant and sofisticade fragrance.. this masterpiece talks about class and elegance.... a must have.. i love this masterpiece from Cartier.. UNIQUE..

I don't know why i bought this one!!! And i used it only several times then i gave it to a friend of mine. Always every single time he gives me headache.
My friend tells me that he likes this scent, but for me it is a terrible choice.

I've always had a soft spot for this one. I used to work for a buddy in NYC who is a diamond setter/jeweler in the Diamond District, doing general personal assistant type work, and one of the tasks was running around the corner to Saks to pick this one up. It's pleasant but not really groundbreaking and would make a safe gift for a guy who likes fragrances but isn't a true prfume freak. I'll always associate it with massive drug abuse since we spent as much time getting high in the office as we did playing with diamonds. Imagine how nervewracking it is crawling around on the floor on your hands and knees trying to find a $75,000 diamond that has sprung out of its setting while wasted on the finest prescription opiates money can buy. No wonder there's so much drug abuse on that street...boy, do I have stories...

very strong smell for days

Too much cinnamon. I couldn't get the top notes at all or any other for that matter. My mind was stuck on cinnamon and that's all I found. If you like cinnamon maybe you'll dig this one, if you can smell the other notes.

Must is a good but overrated fragrance. I've read reviews describing Must as "animalic", "sweaty" and "spicy", and in fact it was these reviews that enticed me to buy a bottle. What you get, however, is a sweet, fruity, somewhat dull and very conventional oriental fragrance. I've smelled countless other femininine and men's perfumes that smell a lot like this. Yes, there is a little bit of a "dirty" or "animalic" note in Must, but it is very subtle and way in the background, almost unnoticeable, and can only be detected for the first hour after application. Thereafter, Must smells like an inoffensive and rather boring fruity oriental. To call Must a "spicy" oriental is simply wrong - there's nothing spicy at all about this. If you want a good spicy men's oriental, go for Gucci Envy or Creed's Bois du Portugal. If you're looking for a truly "sweaty" or "dirty" masculine fragrance, go for Yatagan or Kouros.

Alluring with its gentleness and warmth.

For men who like pleasures, but not necessarily look for them in fights and constant competition.

This cologne initially appealed to me because of both its spicy middle and the vanilla in the base. The top of bergamot, mandarin and grapefruit fade nicely. The layering on this cologne is apparent. It smells complex. While this cologne smells very good on me--I have received several compliments--I don't think it lasts well. I've taken to using several (5) sprays rather than a few (3), which would be adequate with other colognes I prefer (such as Polo and Burberry London).
