What does Must de Cartier pour Homme Essence smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated as good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, while summer comes last. It suits evenings and nights out best, though leisure and daily wear get votes too. Nearly half of voters read it as masculine.

Grapefruit and ginger give it a fresh, fruity lift, while cinnamon adds a sweet, spicy warmth. Cedarwood, vetiver and patchouli form a woody, green base, softened by powdery and oriental touches.
