So Pretty by Cartier

(EDT)
So Pretty is indeed a chypre standard-without the patchouli. This is what enticed me to want to try it in the first place. That-and the discrepancy between the name and the juice.

The heart notes to the base are very serious and pleasant-a dry green not quite as deep as forest green, like the color of the liquid-with powdery classical flowers that make an elegant contrast to the strong bitterness of the mossy base. I would certainly turn my head if I smelled this on somebody. But I can't enjoy it on myself-as the aldehydes in the opening combine with the bitterness-soapy bitterness is the opening chord for me, not refreshing bitterness. It takes just too long for this to pass on me-call me an impatient modern youth, wanting to hurry up and enjoy the "pretty", to not pay my dues in breathing in the aristocratic sparkling bitters...Fine, that's me. you either like aldehydes or you don't, but you have to wait to smell what else happens in an aldehydic fragrance either way. I see no point in waiting most of the time (and I've tried, I've waited for hours...)

I could just be happy to smell the lovely base on someone else, and wear something with a more natural opening.

Very elegant, for a moment reminded me of the one Ivoire de Balmain creamy note. This is actually a complex composition which takes about half an hour to open and show all the richness. Not tied to any season, but to me as all the beautiful scents of this group just perfect for spring.
It's classy, glamorous and incredibly feminine, everything is so finely balanced. So Pretty will keep long on your skin, later even as you feel a gentle touch of silk.
So Pretty as its name says and the bottle is gorgeous.

I like it very much, too. But I'm quite surprised it's classified as floral green. For me it seems rather floral aldehyde, I smell the same soapy note as in p.e.Chanel n.5 or D&G Red Cap, just a bit lighter, maybe . It gives the fragrance a nice vintage, luxury feeling and maturity.

I love this scent! I bought it years ago, I was around 27 and quite girly, but I fell in love with this smell and wanted to wear it. It actually fitted my personality, feminine, joyful and a little aristocratic. It's one of the few scents I had more than 1 bottle (given or bought). It's a very classy scents and I don't think it's for mature women, rather a young lady scent.
It's also a little formal yet warm in the basenotes, sensual floral-woody. My chemitry doesn't usually agree with woody notes, still So Pretty must be so well balanced it melts with my chemistry after a short while. Floral notes in it are very refined and elegant, while the woods keeps the whole blend stable, slitghly powdery and warm, especially teh sandalwood note is very fine and not bitter at all.
I would say it's a romantic scent for upscale dating, sprinkling elegant sensuality, no vulgarity.
EdT is very enjoyable and strong without being overpowering. EdP is more intense and thicker, could be disturbing in hot weather if overdone.

Beautiful, luxury, classic, floral. Very pleases me in it some dark, brilliant, bitter note. So Pretty are
are as jewel with interesting flaw.

I don't like it. It is too stong and more suitable for mature women. I can't imagine a young woman wearing it, especially during the day.
