Cartier Oud & Menthe is a Parfum launched in 2019, created by Mathilde Laurent. Cartier's Oud & Menthe carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a brilliantly divisive beast. A simple-yet-striking blend of mint and oud that many adore for its freshness and unique character, but just as many lament for its eye-watering price and often-middling performance.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Cartier's Oud & Menthe opens with a remarkably realistic, almost camphorous blast of fresh mint, like crushing leaves between your fingers. This invigorating start soon meets a clean, woody oud that's far from animalic or 'funky', evolving into a warm, musky amber base. The mint persists throughout, creating an unexpected, cooling accord with the otherwise heavy oud, for a refined and somewhat understated scent.
