Must De Cartier

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Cartier Must de Cartier

Must de Cartier is a rich green oriental, and our version keeps that drama: a green galbanum opening, a full floral heart, and a warm ambery base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Released in 1981, Must de Cartier became a bold, glamorous oriental, famous for its green galbanum opening over a rich, warm amber and vanilla base.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the galbanum and mandarin green up top, let jasmine, rose and narcissus fill the middle, and finish on a warm vanilla, amber and sandalwood base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a designer classic. We build ours at a higher perfume oil concentration so the green and ambery notes last longer, while keeping the same vintage character.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a bold, glamorous, vintage oriental for evenings and cooler weather.

Common Questions

How close is it to Cartier Must de Cartier?

It follows the rich, green, ambery oriental character of the original closely. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

Is it stronger than the original?

We build ours as an eau de parfum with a high perfume oil load, so most people find it projects and lasts as well as, or better than, the original release.

Is this the same perfume as Cartier Must de Cartier?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style, so you can enjoy the character at our price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It leans feminine and is ideal for evenings and cooler weather.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
