Sophisticated, grown-up

Hello everyone,
After a long absence I'm back. In our current time of Lockdown and apocalyptic scenario all over, I decided to treat myself to a new scent. Doing my research online I found this Cartier fragrance for just 27€. So it's a total blind buy and the ingredients sounded very appealing to me. I love honey and wondered how this could be translated into a male fragrance without being too sticky and sweet.
I already own Guerlain Flora de Nymphea, which is very honey heavy, but this one is successfully not to sweet! The first spray was like :"OH nooo, this smells like" old man". That's probably the musk making a quick appearance, but it subsided VERY quickly (lucky me). So the scent develops from spicey to a clean soap like fragrance in the first 30 minutes. The honey is interwoven at all times, engulfed in vetiver and musk. It's not heavy at all, but noticeabe presence.
I REALLY like how Mathilde wrapped this honey in vetiver and musc to avoid this fragrance from being too sweet and cheap.
The fond becomes very skinlike. Probably again the musc that makes this scent stick to your skin for a long time, too.
This fragrance is marketed towards men, but in 2021 this could easily be worn by a strong woman.
What I do have to point out is : This is not a scent for boys. But rather for modern men in their 30s. L'envol does not seduce with overwhelmingly creamy and oriental notes with a 5km radius sillage. This scent is subtle. Long lasting. Classy. Business with a wink and smirk.
For the price I paid, I think I did a great catch. (Notino.de).
For what occasions? Definitvely work, theater, opera, probably a nice dinner. Something sophisticated.
I imagine a man wearing a white shirt, unbuttoned 3 buttons on the top. Clean haircut with slightly Grey sideburns. Good fitting pants and nice shoes (exact the opposite of me, but I'll still flaunt it).

Clarisse, ma chérie, let's fly.

Fly ma chérie, fly with me over the rooftops of Paris;
You and me both here,
je t'aime, cher Clarisse.

I prepared the breakfast buffet for you Your favorite croissant with honey we worked through the night,
You like it sweet and lemony
The window is open, a gust of wind lets your silky hair glide over my face;
i hope we stay together in good times and bad.

Clarisse, ma chérie, let's fly,
away from here to another place;
we both belong together and can only win,
You and me, nobody else on board [...]
Cartier, what beautiful treasures you bring out: your Déclarations, your Eau de Cartiers, your Pashas, your Must de Cartiers...
And this L'Envol EdT, which I discovered by chance during an order through a sample that came with it, is also a wonderful and fine fragrance. Best suited for warmer days it brings a smile to my sometimes tired face.

The sunny days have now left us for several months, but when the blossoms on the trees start to bloom again, the butterflies wander around, the bees circle around our sweets, the streets are full of good-humoured people, then his time has come.

It is marketed as men's water, but in my eyes it is totally unisex (which for me personally all fragrances are anyway, but this is a topic in itself...).
[...]

The Opening is a pure and juicy lemon, but surrounded by a spicy note that is not listed here. But I definitely smell spices out and so I found out during my research on fragrantica that there might be mugwort in the top note. "Hmm, I wasn't that wrong", I heard this information and felt confirmed.

The fragrance therefore begins fresh and spicy. At this point it is slightly bitter and tart, somewhat comparable to mint or juniper. The sweet and mild honey note, which makes the water run in your mouth, but immediately - shortly afterwards - resonates in the background. This combination lasts for a longer period of time, but the spicy nuance then quickly fades. So that afterwards an earthy-woody breeze from guaiac wood is added to this bitter-sweet and sweet-mild freshness. This breeze in turn is enveloped in musk, which is not listed here, but I personally perceive it Over the whole course of its life it is predominantly fresh and aromatic, woody and slightly sweet. It is spicy mMn only at the very beginning, later not anymore.

The few notes make L'Envol EdT a wonderful spring/summer scent in my eyes, but one that can also be worn super well on warmer autumn days. Whether during the day or in the evening, I think it is perfectly suitable for any time of day: At work, in your free time or in the evening to go out for dinner. Besides, it is also available for little money
For a "warm weather scent" it has a quite acceptable longevity. It sticks to my skin for about 5-6h and leaves a nice scent cloud in the first 1,5h, which then recedes and can be perceived for a few more hours.
Even though I think it would be best in the warmer season, I think you can spray it on colder days as well, if you like.
For me personally, however, he would probably be a bit "too fresh" on such days...
Conclusion:
In the meantime, I have also tested the EdP, which I find to be more "honey-heavy" and somewhat heavier, but still good overall. However, I personally like the fresh and spicy, woody and minimal sweet EdT variant even better. A really noble feel-good scent, which fortunately is not equipped with any bad synthetics and is of good quality. For me it comes pure, pure and natural.

This one makes me feel like a bird...
As a little boy (and adult still) I often wished to have two wings and just take off...
But this "flight" already transports me in its own way to another place... A place full of peace and quiet...
[...]
As always, I would like to thank everyone who has accompanied me so far!

Fine water for our best piece, whoever it is

At first tangy and fresh, it quickly becomes heavier, sweeter and more oriental. The honey has such a wonderfully pompous and sticky adherence, holds mega well. But do not misunderstand it is never unpleasant but always fine. It becomes body-hugging after an hour and no longer occupies such a large space. I like it well, it has something noble and fine, like a young as well as a mature man picture. I'm just saying, we girls like him. Wood and honey is a wonderful combination, each emphasizing the other which is the depth and good durability. It suits the best friend as a birthday present, the loveliest as a sexy cuddly scent, the mature gentleman as an underscore of a well-groomed and experienced personality or the brother who goes to a rock concert. For me a successful, warm scent which gives me the feeling of security, closeness and security. Cartier just makes beautiful scents

So woman can be wrong

I had a vial of Cartier L'envol with me when I bought it. Just the vial. I tried it today. It smells a bit sour fresh but somehow I have to sniff it again and again. Tempting! Now I thought I'd take a look at what the little scent costs, I see that it's actually a men's scent! Actually not bad, but my innermost ego then struggles with me to wear a men's scent. Now I will "bathe" my Menne in it if he smells so well with him, then I have the smell but somehow ;-)
It is an edt. and now still smells really intense.
