Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Cartier Eau de Toilette

A divisive scent for Cartier, praised as a fresh, clean masterpiece for warm weather, yet lambasted by many for its vanishing act. If you want something subtle, clean and elegant for your gym bag, this could be it, but don't expect it to last.

Our Verdict - Foresta Magica Extrait

A truly unique green, citrusy fragrance that masterfully balances a vibrant freshness with an intriguing, subtle depth. It's divisive; some love its complexity, while others find it a bit too much or too tart. Experience it for yourself to see if you're in the 'love' camp.

Season and Occasion Fit

de Cartier Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

With its subtle projection and short longevity, this fragrance is ideal for office wear, casual outings, or even a post-workout refresh, as it's unlikely to offend. It's less suited for dates or formal events where stronger projection and lasting power are generally desired.

Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office

Its fresh, energetic, and slightly unique profile makes it highly versatile for casual wear and suitable for dates. While office-appropriate in moderation, its bolder character might be a bit much for very formal events. The fresh accords also make it a decent choice for sport, though some might find the woody base too heavy.
