Cartier L'Envol de Cartier is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Mathilde Laurent. L'Envol de Cartier opens with Lavender, Sage, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Cartier's L'Envol de Cartier carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

L'Envol is an absolute gem that flies under the radar. Imagine a sophisticated chap, sipping cognac in a classic British club - that's the vibe. It's a unique honeyed iris with woody depth, a real breath of fresh air amidst generic sweet bombs, and a testament to truly thoughtful perfumery.

About

L'Envol opens with a fresh, herbaceous whisper of lavender and sage, quickly followed by the star of the show: a deep, dry honey note that avoids any cloying sweetness. This golden sweetness then intertwines seamlessly with a refined, soft iris, grounding it with a woody core of guaiac wood and vetiver. The overall effect is smooth, elegant, and unexpectedly airy, with a subtle powdery finish that feels intimately luxurious.
