Carat

Carat, a Radiant Floral Bouquet

Carat was inspired by the sparkle of light through a gemstone. Our version keeps that feel, opening with bergamot and pear before a luminous heart of hyacinth, iris, lily, tulip, violet, and mimosa settles over soft musk and woods.

The Story Behind the Scent

Cartier built Carat as a celebration of colour and light, a radiant floral bouquet inspired by the maison’s jewellery. The idea was brightness and elegance, a shimmering mix of flowers.

That luminous quality is its appeal. The pear keeps it juicy, the bouquet of flowers makes it radiant, and the soft base grounds it. Our interpretation follows that same bright, elegant path.
