Cartier Delices De Cartier is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Christine Nagel. Delices De Cartier opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Cherry, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. It lasts about 4 to 6 hours on skin, fills a room and is best in autumn and winter. Cartier's Delices De Cartier carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Delices De Cartier EDP is a love-it-or-hate-it cherry, divisive for its synthetic edge and powdery drydown. It's not a juicy fruit bomb, so steer clear if you're after something sweet and simple. This one’s for those who appreciate a bit of grown-up complexity and a touch of vintage flair.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

A complex dance of cherry and spice, Delices De Cartier opens with a tart, almost medicinal blast of cherry and pink pepper, brightened by bergamot. The heart reveals a powdery floral bouquet of violet, jasmine, and freesia, preventing the cherry from becoming overly saccharine. It settles into a warm, sensual base of amber, sandalwood, and musk, with a creamy hint of tonka bean, delivering an elegant and enduring finish.
