The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2001, Eau de Cartier by Cartier is a citrus aromatic fragrance created by perfumer Christine Nagel. This composition opens with the bright and zesty notes of yuzu and bergamot, which are then balanced by the fresh spicy nuances of coriander and violet leaf. The heart of lavender adds a subtle floral touch, while the base notes of cedar, musk, white amber, and patchouli create a warm, powdery foundation that grounds the entire scent.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the citrus opening is bright but fades within an hour. The powdery base will last through the day, making this fragrance a reliable companion from morning meetings to evening outings.
