Overview

Cartier?s scented debut was in 1981 with Must de Cartier, a green Oriental which broke with olfactory convention: a play between sophisticated galbanum and sensuous, sweet vanilla and jasmine. Spontaneous, luxurious, seductive and wild, it became an equally wild success. Eau de Cartier, a ?shareable? Cologne-style fragrance, launched in 2001: cool, pure and sensual, it blends cedarwood with violet, ?a shower of sensations from cool to hot?. Since then, we?ve had Baiser Vol?, Cartier?s tribute to the majestic lily. ?In this perfume, I wanted to recreate the scent of armfuls of flowers on the neck,? explained perfumer Mathilde Laurent. (She also created 2017?s lipstick-inspired Baiser Fou.) In fact, with the appointment of Mathilde Laurent as in-house perfumer, Cartier has entered a new era in fragrance; she is unquestionably one of the most exciting ?noses? on the planet,. Mathilde established the Maison de Cartier in the world of ?haute parfumerie? with Les Heures de Parfum: fragrances (many of them ?shareable?) which take us round the clock with their different moods ? and which have earned her several French Fragrance Foundation Awards. Asked to characterise Cartier style, by perfume website Cafleurebon, Mathilde Laurent explained: ?It is the same as in jewellery. We use wonderful ingredients and very few ingredients. When you have a wonderful diamond or stone, you don?t need to put many, many small stones of many colours ? because you have a wonderful piece of jewellery already?? She explains: ?I work alone as a perfumer but I also have really wonderful people around me with great vision, who love Cartier as much as I do and who understand my perfumery and vision. When I started here, Cartier?s fragrances were made outside the maison and they didn?t express. I fought for perfumery that ?speaks? of Cartier when you smell it.
