by Alberto Morillas

Cartier Le Baiser Du Dragon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Alberto Morillas. The fragrance opens with Almond, Neroli, Gardenia, and Amaretto, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Jasmine, and Musk, and dries down to a base of Dark Chocolate, Caramel, Vetiver, and Patchouli.

Our verdict on Le Baiser Du Dragon: Acquired

A truly divisive scent: some find it a masterful, unique symphony of notes, while others recoil from its bitterness and powdery dry-down. For those it clicks with, it's a sensual, alluring, and deeply sophisticated experience, cementing its cult status despite discontinuation.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong, long-lasting performance and potent, dark accords, this isn't an office-friendly scent. Its deep, seductive nature makes it perfect for date nights and formal events, though some find it versatile enough for daily wear in cooler weather.

About

Le Baiser Du Dragon opens with a boozy embrace of amaretto and bitter almond, softened by a hint of gardenia. As it settles, a woody heart of cedar and iris emerges, intertwined with a creamy musk. The dry-down is a rich, complex tapestry of dark chocolate, caramel, earthy patchouli, and warm amber, all underpinned by a dry vetiver that gives it an almost smoky, ancient temple feel.
