Cartier Oud & Pink is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Cartier's Oud & Pink carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, Cartier's Oud & Pink delivers a complex, unapologetically animalic rose-oud that's anything but traditional. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who 'get' it find it utterly compelling.

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.

With its long-lasting, strong sillage and prominent animalic oud, this isn't one for the office, but it certainly makes a statement for dates and formal events. It's too much for casual wear, leaning into evening sophistication.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Oud & Pink opens with a fascinating, almost metallic rose, far from dewy or sweet, often described as 'jammy but not sweet' or even 'sour'. This proud rose note is quickly joined by a deep, woody, and notably animalic oud, avoiding any medicinal dryness. As it settles, a musky warmth emerges, softening the edges and creating a luxurious, persistent 'second skin' that hints at a raw, human allure. It's a bold, minimalist composition where the rose and oud dance between contradiction.
