About
Le Baiser Du Dragon by Cartier is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women. Le Baiser Du Dragon was launched in 2003. The nose behind this fragrance is Alberto Morillas. Top notes are Amaretto, Bitter Almond, Gardenia and Neroli; middle notes are Cedar, Iris, Musk, Jasmine and Rose; base notes are Vetiver, Patchouli, Benzoin, Amber, Cedar, Dark Chocolate and Caramel. Cartier’s Baiser du Dragon (the Dragon’s Kiss) is a dangerous and powerful scent. Exotic and intense, it will transport you into the world of fairytale dragons, princesses and princes. You can hear the burning of the 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 the perfume’s heart, while the base note is composed of vetiver, patchouli and benzoin resin. It was created by Alberto Morillas in 2003.

About
Vain & Naïve by Nishane is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. Vain & Naïve was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Chris Maurice. Top notes are Orange and Bergamot; middle notes are Raspberry, Plum, Rose, Jasmine and Cedar; base notes are Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Musk, Amber, Patchouli and Benzoin. "This scent has been considered to be a tribute to the each “unique love” ever experienced on earth by the creative directors Murat Katran and Mert Guzel. In the novella we see that the prince’s love for his flower causes him much pain and heartbreak. The flower grows from a strange seed that somehow lands up on the prince’s planet. The first thing we learn about her is that she is beautiful. “It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.” NISHANE’s objective has been to bring the smell of this flower that Little Prince is love with into reality. To be able to bring into existence this coquettish flower that has trouble expressing her love for the little prince and consequently drives him away, NISHANE had to refer to varying notes to underline the mood that is simultaneously vain and naïve. The flower informs the little prince of her love for him too late to persuade him to stay home and not to travel. Throughout the story, she occupies the prince’s thoughts and heart." - a note from the brand.
