Cartier Delices is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Christine Nagel. Delices opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Cherry, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. It lasts about 6 to 10 hours on skin, carries to about arm's length and is best in autumn and winter. Cartier's Delices carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Boozy cherry with pink pepper, a violet and jasmine heart, then vanilla, tonka, amber and sandalwood. A sharp-to-creamy cherry gourmand that grows warm and elegant.

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

Délices opens on cherry, sharp and almost medicinal, with bergamot and pink pepper adding spark. It is an odd, bracing start. The heart softens it into a creamy floral hum of violet, freesia and jasmine. Then the base arrives: vanilla, tonka bean, amber and sandalwood, rich and warm, with the cherry still sitting in it. The sweetness carries and it lasts a good evening. Winter and autumn suit it, along with dates and dressy evenings. It is a stretch for the office or sport. A cherry-led gourmand with a more refined finish than the opening suggests.
