The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017 by Cartier, Baiser Fou is a floral fruity fragrance that embodies the essence of a passionate embrace. Created by perfumer Mathilde Laurent, this composition opens with the brightness of raspberry before diving into the elegant and sensual notes of orchid. The base of white chocolate and vanilla adds a layer of warmth and sweetness, making it feel like a mischievous yet enchanting kiss. Baiser Fou is part of Cartier's collection inspired by kisses, and its name translates to 'Crazy Kiss,' capturing the intensity and charm of an unexpected moment.

How to wear it

Apply Baiser Fou to your pulse points for an intimate and lasting effect. The raspberry top note is bright but fleeting, so aim for two sprays to ensure that the rich orchid and vanilla base notes have time to develop fully. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than in a wide sillage.
