The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011, Eau de Cartier Essence d'Orange Limited Edition is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that marries the bright zest of orange and bergamot with subtle powdery notes and rich amber. This composition opens with a vibrant burst of citrus, which transitions into a heart of violet and black locust, adding an unexpected floral touch. The base notes of Virginia cedar, patchouli, and amber create a warm, enveloping finish that lingers on the skin.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points; the bright top notes will fade within an hour but leave room for the powdery and woody base to develop. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room, so layer it lightly for optimal effect.
