Cartier Roadster is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Mathilde Laurent. Roadster opens with Bergamot and Mint, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Labdanum. Cartier's Roadster carries an Acquired verdict, a patchouli-led wear.

This one's a proper grower, divisive as hell on first sniff but wins over a loyal following. It's not your average freshie - think unique, green, and a touch old-school cool that demands a second chance.

About

Roadster kicks off with a bracing blast of green, herbal mint, far from your average toothpaste. This quickly settles into an earthy, woody heart of vetiver and patchouli, softened by a subtle hint of vanilla and a touch of resinous labdanum. It's all about that fresh, damp greenery anchored by a warm, mature base.
