Louis Cardin Holiday is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Holiday opens with Sandalwood, Patchouli, Nutmeg, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Lemon, Vetiver, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Amber, Grapefruit, Cedar, and Pink Pepper. Louis Cardin's Holiday carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Holiday isn't really holiday material; it's a dry, woody affair with a slightly dated vibe. It's affordable, sure, but don't expect fireworks - this is a quiet, unassuming scent for quiet, unassuming blokes.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall

Its woody, amber and fresh spicy composition leans towards autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and generally dry, classic woody accords make it suitable for casual wear or an office environment where something understated is preferred. It lacks the freshness for sport and the opulence for formal occasions, while its maturity might not hit the mark for a date night.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Opens with an earthy punch of patchouli and labdanum, quickly joined by the warm spice of nutmeg and ginger. As it settles, a dry, almost arid woodiness comes forward, interwoven with the clean, bright notes of lemon and mint, and a touch of heady jasmine. The base maintains that woody backbone, softened by a hint of pink pepper, smoky incense, and a smooth amber, finishing with a classic, dry cedar that lingers.
