The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022, Carat Sparkling by Cartier is a vibrant floral creation from perfumer Mathilde Laurent. The fragrance opens with the freshness of green notes and pear, blending seamlessly into a heart of hyacinth, tulip, narcissus, honeysuckle, violet, ylang-ylang, and mimosa. These yellow florals create a sparkling bouquet that is at once powdery and sweet, while the base of white musk adds a soft, lingering warmth.
Carat Sparkling has a bright opening that fades within an hour, so aim for two or three sprays to ensure the powdery florals linger. It reads best close to skin rather than across a room, making it perfect for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet fresh scent.
