7 Best Smelling Cartier Perfumes for Her

Cartier has been in existence as a company since the 19th century when it served as jewelers to royal families in Europe. Nowadays, Cartier still caters to the jewelry crowd but also produces some wonderful scents for both men and women.  Cartier’s perfumes have a certain amount of elegance to them but unlike some companies, it produces fragrances that can be worn casually and won’t stick out like a sore thumb. For this list, I have chosen what I consider to be the seven best ladies perfumes by Cartier.

What are the Top Perfumes and Best Sellers by Cartier for Her?

Lily Led Greenish-Floral

Cartier Baiser Vole Eau De Perfume Spray for Women, 3.3 Ounce
A fresh and clean floral scent with spicy undertones from Cartier. Baiser Vole is a beautiful and elegant perfume that never overpowers. Baiser Vole is a lily heavy fragrance, so, enjoying this floral note is a requirement for this one.

It starts out with a green, somewhat watery lily, with citrus notes playing a support role. Then, it becomes much more of the petals of the flower itself, with a sweet creamy undertone. It’s a lightly projecting fragrance, with naturalistic notes, and solid longevity.

Baiser Vole keeps things extremely simple, but it still makes the cut as one of the best from this brand. Lots of lily petal and stem, with a watery quality and the citrus influences coming in.

Clean Unisex Citrus

Eau De Cartier By Cartier For Men and Women, Eau De Toilette Spray, 6.75-Ounce Bottle
Eau De Cartier is a unisex fragrance, so it doesn’t fall into the purely feminine category of scents. It opens with the citrus freshness of yuzu and violet notes from both the leaf and the petals. The first part of the wear, is especially a citrus fragrance, a character that it will retain to some extent. 

Fresh with that yuzu and lavender with floral and cedar notes at the base of the scent. The dry down gets woodier and earthy with patchouli and musk coming in.

Fairly straightforward and linear, but a clean scent, with a pleasing appeal. In its simplicity, Eau de Cartier covers a lot of bases: citrus, spice, fresh, clean, and floral. The notes can appear subtly, but still provides some depth of experience.

Floral Spice by Cartier

Cartier De Lune Eau de Toilette Spray for Women, 4.2 Ounce
This fragrance is an exotic and playful mix of florals and spice. Cartier De Lune is good for casual, everyday use, and is a light and unique perfume. De Lune is a floral musk mix with rose and lily of the valley.

It opens with a familiar juniper berry note that is paired with that lily-of-the-valley floral aroma, that is both interesting and delicious, and not a pairing that I’ve come across before.

Then, the rose not comes along to pair with the lily, and the juniper fades in favor of musk and wood. Has a light sweetness and a bit of green spiciness that comes through, Cartier De Lune, is good for daily wear and isn’t an absolute bomb that will choke out a room.

Best Rivieres de Cartier Scent

Luxuriance EDP by Cartier– Wasn’t too crazy about the majority of this line, when I encountered them. However, I did like Luxuriance. That being said, it is quite herbal and green, so may not be for everyone.

Fern, oak, rosemary, wild herbs, geranium…yep, a very natural smelling aroma. It is a light freshness without much of a cold crisp to it.  Early on, the geranium leads the way and there may also be a touch of a citrus (lemon?) note in there too. I get some Le Jardin de Monsieur Li vibes, stripped of any aquatic touches.

Later, Luxuriance is an woody blend with fern, geranium, and some generic floral aromas. It’s not a super complex fragrance, but it is a fairly unique and lovely unisex wear.

Intricate Floral Fruity Perfume

Cartier EDP Spray for Women, La Panthere, 2.5 Ounce
Like its name suggests, La Panthere, is a bolder type of perfume than the others on this list. Panthere is a rebranding, of a Cartier fragrance that dates back to the 1980s.  It’s got a rich and rather complex aroma which is a blends oakmoss, strawberry, gardenia, and dried fruits.

Long lasting and can seem a bit heavy at first but it does mellow out into a wonderful scent. The notes have a tendency to blend together, but the opening is fairly sweet, when compared to the rest of the wear. This is best served in the colder to moderate temperatures, avoiding the heat of summer. 

Then, gardenia and musk, do come through clearly with one another after a little while. The fruit notes, play the background, and the dry oak moss  flanks the floral note and musk. Strong sillage and lasts for 10+ hours. La Panthere is a great option for those who want a gardenia perfume, that delivers something a bit different.  La Panthere Full Review

Another Panthere

La Panthere Parfum– Parfum is a newer edition of the Panthere lineup. Obviously, it’s going to have plenty of overlap with the one above. However, it is actually a rather distinct fragrance.

You get more of a fruity note up top. In this case, it’s apricot that is paired with a much greater smoothness, and use of the osmanthus note.

Later, you will get that mossy aroma and a nice big dose of gardenia. Overall, it’s a cleaner and dynamic chypre fragrance. The opening act is juicy and La Panthere Parfum is easy to wear and enjoy. Warm with some herbal qualities. Plus, the performance holds up in this edition. 

 

1980s Classic Cartier

Must De Cartier By Cartier For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 3.3 oz
Must is a warm and beautifully sweet fragrance that is great for casual wear and is long-lasting. Must De Cartier is a softer perfume but one that is well-crafted and has many admirers.

Must de Cartier features plenty of wood dipped in amber with vanilla and tonka bean playing support roles. However, this perfume is not that simple, as there is also floral notes and sweet floral notes involved too. At times it is green, sweet, spicy, but it all settles into something refined and classic.

The sandalwood and rosewood, really seem to come into their own, in the later stages of this perfume’s life. It is very rich and brings a classic 1980s scent to the table, very reminiscent of Obsession for Her.
