by Mathilde Laurent

Our verdict on Carat: Favourite

Carat is a divisive one: some adore its sparkling, fresh floral bouquet, others find it too sharp, synthetic, or just plain boring. If you fancy a spring garden in a bottle, give it a go, but expect a mixed bag of opinions.

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Carat's clean, fresh floral profile makes it excellent for office and casual wear, as it's generally inoffensive. While elegant enough for formal occasions, some find its sillage too intimate, which might underwhelm for a date or sporty event where more presence is desired.

About

Imagine the crisp air of a spring morning, where juicy pear and green notes cut through a stunning floral melange. Hyacinth and lily lead the charge, supported by narcissus and ylang-ylang, creating a bright, slightly cool, floral heart. A powdery mimosa and clean musk linger in the dry down, giving it a sophisticated, almost soapy finish that’s both elegant and fresh.
