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.

I took the opportunity to blend seaweed, vetiver and mimosa essential oils. It is a very pleasant and interesting menage a trois. At first the seaweed hits the nose but… April 18, 2024 at 1:32am
Hello Alexandra: How kind to let me know. So pleased you found Bloom a welcoming place, yes I too find them knowledgeable and they’re not pushy, nothing is too much… April 17, 2024 at 7:55pm
Hello, everyone!! I am currently obsessed with Jo Malone’s Mimosa and Cardamom, which is my most recent discovery and upon Victoria’s recommendation on here… even though I’d love it to… April 17, 2024 at 9:40am

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.
I didn’t know about this news,so thank you so much!:)

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
