The story behind the bottle.
Eau de Cartier Essence de Paradis was launched in 2016 as part of the house's refreshing collection, inspired by travels to exotic and relaxing destinations. Perfumer Mathilde Laurent crafted this fragrance around a bright fruity opening that lifts the sweet-floral ylang-ylang, creating an enticing contrast with its warm and woody base notes. The composition is built on precious woods and amber, contributing depth and warmth while musk adds sensuality, leaving a gentle trail.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a gentle, lingering effect. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, so let it settle into its deeper base notes before heading out. Best for daytime or early evening wear when you want a touch of tropical warmth.
