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 - Contemporary Eau de Toilette
A fresh, clean scent that's often described as soft and subtle. While some find it a touch too weak, others appreciate its quiet charm, making it a decent everyday reach even if heavy-handed spraying is required.
