Cartier Cartier De Lune is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011, created by Mathilde Laurent. Cartier De Lune opens with Pink Pepper and Juniper, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Rose, Lily of the Valley, and Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Musk. Cartier's Cartier De Lune carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive ethereal floral: some adore its soft, clean sophistication and 'moonlit' aura, while others find it too muted, linear, or indistinguishable from a dozen other light florals. Expect subtlety, not statement.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

De Lune opens with a cool, almost icy whisper of pink pepper and juniper, leading into a delicate heart of white florals. Lily of the valley, cyclamen, honeysuckle, and just a touch of rose create a clean, slightly sweet, and pristine bouquet. It settles into a soft, comforting musk with a shadowy, woody base, evoking a luminous, tranquil freshness.
