The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2003 by Cartier and crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas, Le Baiser Du Dragon is an Oriental Woody fragrance that weaves together sweet and earthy notes to create a captivating scent. The composition opens with amaretto and bitter almond, leading into a heart of gardenia, jasmine, and rose. These floral accords are then grounded by a warm base of patchouli, cedar, amber, and dark chocolate, creating a harmonious blend that feels both luxurious and intimate.
This fragrance is best applied to pulse points for maximum warmth and longevity. The rich base notes take time to develop, so be patient — the chocolate and patchouli will deepen over several hours, making it ideal for evening wear.
