Must ...wear!
This fragrance is a piece of my memories of child. I remember that it was my mother's scent in wintertime and she sprayed it mainly when she wore her mink coat, status symbol of the glorious Eighties.
I was too Young and my nose didin't like so much this fragrance so opulent and warm-spicy...but time goes by, tastes changes and after many years I would smell again this scent I've found on my favourite drugstore's shelves . The result? love at first smell. I immediately knew the reason of its name: this scent is a MUST and you cannot stop smelling it after you've sprayed it on the mouillette and on the skin too!
The first notes are soft and fruity: mandarin and a neroli not too bitter but very round and feminine. The Galbanum touch is noticeable and gives a stronger character to the opening accord. Then, at athe heart, a true garden of delights: rose, vibrant Jasmine and rose. The quintessence of feminity and sensuality. Finally, an almost "masculine" musk-vetiver base madre warmer, sweeter and rounder by a wonderful vanilla touch.
It's a perfect symphony staying on your skin for hours and hours even in this edt version, with a very satisfactory and charming sillage. I'd recommend to wear this edt by day with a fur or in the mid season by night too.
Extremely refined in its simplicity the bottle recalling the oval shape, one of symbols of the Maison Cartier.
The price is high but not impossible (Chanel's,Tom Ford's and Eisenberg's creations are more expensive!) for this myth of the Eighties that to me remains an evergreen in the contemporary perfumery. I love it and wearing it could be like felling my mother 's scented hug.
