Carte Blanche by Navitus Parfums, launched in 2020 and crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, is a warm and spicy composition that balances bright citrus notes with rich woody undertones. The fragrance opens with Guatemalan cardamom and gooseberry, creating an initial burst of freshness. This gives way to a heart of almond and benzoin, adding depth and sweetness. The base notes of driftwood, vanilla, musk, and ambergris create a warm and enveloping finish that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
One or two sprays is sufficient — the initial burst of cardamom and gooseberry fades within an hour, but the warm base notes continue to develop throughout the day. It reads best close to the skin rather than across a room.
