What does Délices de Cartier (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Pink pepper, bergamot and sour cherry open with a spicy, tart fruitiness. In the heart, violet, jasmine and freesia add a soft, powdery floral layer. Tonka bean, vanilla, sandalwood and amber in the base balance the sweetness with woody warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring; it leans towards evenings and nights out, yet suits leisure and daily wear too. Most voters read it as feminine. Close in profile are DKNY Cashmere & Vanilla Essence and Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto.
