by Cartier
Pasha de Cartier is a classic aromatic fougère with a strong, refined masculine character. It opens with a vibrant burst of mint, lavender, mandarin orange, and caraway, creating an initially intense and slightly surprising profile that evolves into a well-balanced, woody-spicy composition. The fragrance is delicate yet assertive, with a dry-down that features smooth, warm sandalwood layered over oakmoss, patchouli, and labdanum, resulting in a complex, elegant, and mature scent. While the initial projection can feel bold, the sillage settles into a moderate, personal-space presence that projects clearly but doesn't overpower. Longevity is moderate to long, with good performance throughout the day, and it holds its character especially well in cooler seasons like autumn and winter. It flows seamlessly into evening wear and suits formal or business settings, though it also works as a stand-out yet refined scent for casual moments.
