Cartier Santos Eau de Sport is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1989. Santos Eau de Sport opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Coriander, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Caraway, Canadian Fir Balsam, Orange Blossom, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Cartier's Santos Eau de Sport carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Santos Eau de Sport is a classic aromatic masculine, herbal and citrusy, with a mossy woody base. It is crisp and traditional, not trendy. A good fit for anyone who likes a clean, old-school fresh scent.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

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

A long list of fresh notes opens the scent: bergamot, rosemary, tarragon, artemisia, coriander and lemon. The heart is woody and floral, with vetiver, sandalwood, Canadian fir balsam, cedar, orange blossom, jasmine, patchouli, caraway and carnation. The base of oakmoss, vanilla, tonka bean, styrax, labdanum, amber, musk and benzoin adds a warm, resinous and mossy depth. It is an aromatic woody-chypre scent with a classic masculine feel.
