The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Pur Lilas, launched by Cartier in 2024 and crafted by perfumer Mathilde Laurent, is a floral fragrance that marries the freshness of green notes with the earthy warmth of its base. The scent opens with a burst of lilac, which quickly intertwines with a delicate rose accord to create an inviting yet sophisticated bouquet. The earthy undertones provide depth without overpowering the florals, making it a composition that feels both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply Pur Lilas to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting presence. The fresh florals are most impactful when worn close to the skin, making it ideal for daytime wear or casual evening outings.
