What does Eau de Cartier Essence de Paradis smell like?

Ylang-ylang sets the floral character, while musk and amber carry it into a soft, creamy sweetness. Fruity and fresh accords keep it light, and the woody notes form a quiet base underneath. A slightly synthetic sheen sits in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer. Business, leisure and daily wear lead the occasions, while night out and evening are chosen far less often.
