I find this intense 'jewel' equally suitable for a woman! It's rich, heady floral notes pick up on feminine skin to reveal a heavenly sensual patchouli-santal base and I love the galbanum in it - Happy to cross the gender line for this one!

I first bought this when it came in the metal Cartier holder and you had to buy refills. Alas my two Cartier designed holders now sit empty. The scent, however, stills ranks number one. Luxurious, masculine and intensely sensual. If you like it anywhere near as much as I, the shower gel is just as incredible.

If..I were secret agent James Bond.. this is what I would wear with my tux and Rolex submariner..Elegantly. Buenas noches/Goodnight.

A nice and subtle oriental fragrance that requires still at least 30 years of age to wear and a suit. Leathery, but clean smelling, powdery and citrus-woody. A Cartier cologne with style.

As I've said, I love and appreciate Cartier... but this........ this is like a big fat cigar, dipped in vanilla ice cream. This is for a man who has entered his Golden Years.

for me this is a darker version of Chanel N°19 .
more fresh and green at the beginning ,after that I got a nice and warm scent of floral and wood spice. love the bottle too ,heavy and masculine black in style.

wow... i am not sure yet, if i like it, or not.
At the beginning this one is very very very strong. A little dark. Surely overpowering for some people. Immediately, i think about a mature man, serious and sensual... its a truly "oriental" fragrance... Also, I really can smell woody notes in this.
A very sweet-strong sandalwood, lavender, basil, vetiver, carnation, patchouli...
Anyhow... this one its elegant and distinctive... you can fill the spaces that you walks with your presence... And the dry down is an exquisite and persistent mixture of ambergris in a sort of incense aroma.

To guest_rahul,
I have been reading all over the internet about this one, to see what the consensus seems to be on the difference. What I get, from other people's words (I haven't tried it yet), is that everyone talks about the great opening of the Regular version, and lots of people talk about Deep/Rich accords in the Concentree version. But those who compare the two say that the notes are generally the same in both. After the Regular Santos has almost faded away, the Santos Concentree would still be emitting it's heart.
Based on what I know now, if I like the scent I will buy the Concentree for it's strength and longevity.

I have been in the mood to re-visit on old friend of mine: Santos De Cartier.
This is an elegant fragrance with a splendid blend of sweetness mixed with patchouli & sandalwood. This is a fragrance that brings back so many memories for me. That is why it has been in my collection since its release. It is Cartier men's fragrance at its finest.

No need to be confused guest_rahul. My understanding is that the concentrate has a little more vanilla notes. Hope this helps.
My best recommendation is to try each one on a different arm and choose which one you like the best.

I have been wearing this fragrance since the 1980's. It is my signature scent. During my 10yr Class Reunion (sometime ago) I had a classmate come up to me and said "I remember sitting behind you...what was that Carti-something fragrance you wore?" I still get many complements when I wear it. Santos will always be in my collection.
