What does Must de Cartier (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It lasts strongly and projects well. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most for evenings and nights out. It reads mostly feminine and classic, though its slightly oriental side gives it a more serious tone.
It opens with galbanum, mandarin orange and neroli, a green, citrusy start that gives way to a floral heart of narcissus, jasmine and rose. In the base, vetiver, musk and vanilla come forward; the scent turns sweeter and settles into a powdery, resinous warmth.
