Cartier unveils its newest fragrance, Délices de Cartier, the floral scent created by Christine Nagel, which includes “top notes of cherry with jasmine in the heart and amber and vanilla at the base.” The fragrance is inspired by the Cartier jewellery collection. The launch is first supposed to take place in March, with distribution in 250 Cartier boutiques worldwide, and will continue in April, with distribution in selected retailers. From cosmeticnews.

julien: The bottle is great.
It might be a fruity gourmand…but if it well done it could be interesting.
Cherry is in vogue now…thanks to Lutens with Rahat loukhoum.

linda: Sounds very nice! I love cherries and I want that bottle. January 12, 2006 at 10:40am
BoisdeJasmin: Julien, the bottle does look lovely, and since I like red glass, it is very appealing. Let’s hope that the fragrance is not too sweet. January 12, 2006 at 12:55pm
BoisdeJasmin: Linda, I also noticed the bottle. I am not sure what I feel about cherries in fragrance, but I did not mind it in Rahat Loukoum. January 12, 2006 at 12:59pm
BoisdeJasmin: Rahat Loukhoum/Toddler Collision would put me off cherry too! I discovered that I like Must de Cartier very much, however if you do not like Shalimar genre fragrances, you may not like that one. January 12, 2006 at 2:41pm
julien: Well,i adore shalimar and hate the sugary note after the green one in MUST.
But it is true,it’s the same family:oriental. January 12, 2006 at 4:35pm
BoisdeJasmin: I find it pretty much the same as Shalimar, but with more civet. However, you are right, it is sweeter and has a caramelized aspect that Shalimar lacks. In the older version, it is more pronounced, but the new one has a strange synthetic sharpness which upsets the entire thing for me. January 12, 2006 at 4:42pm
Campaspe: The bottle is gorgeous enough to make me consider forgetting that A. I haven’t liked a Cartier scent yet and B. I am sort of off cherry, too, ever since the Great Rahat Loukhoum/Toddler Collision of 2005. January 12, 2006 at 1:53pm
