About

Eau de Cartier opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of yuzu and bergamot, underscored by a twist of coriander. It quickly softens to a powdery heart of violet and lavender, delicate and clean, settling into a whisper of musk, cedar, and amber. It evokes modernity, though some find an unexpected 'gin-and-tonic' bitterness or even a hint of 'metallic baby powder' in the violet-musk.
