Launched in 2006 by Cartier, Delices is a fragrance that captures the essence of indulgence and warmth. Created by perfumer Christine Nagel, this Floral Fruity scent opens with bright cherry and bergamot, giving way to a heart of violet, freesia, and jasmine. The base notes of tonka bean, vanilla, amber, and sandalwood provide a comforting finish that is both powdery and spicy. Delices is an unisex EDP that embodies the house's attention to detail and elegance.

Application Tips
Apply Delices in two light sprays — the bright top notes are fleeting but essential. The heart and base will develop over time, so it's best to let this one sit close to your skin rather than broadcasting across a room.
