L'Envol de Cartier Eau de Parfum
by Cartier
L'Envol de Cartier Eau de Parfum is a refined, unisex fragrance centered on honey, with subtle woody and floral accords. The opening features a crisp herbal blend of lavender, sage, and Artemisia, quickly giving way to a delicate, honeyed sweetness. Iris lends a powdery, fresh foundation, while guaiac wood and subtle patchouli provide depth and warmth. The evolution is smooth and layered, with the honey becoming less dominant over time, allowing the clean, airy musk and wooded base to emerge. On the skin, the scent feels well-balanced and comfortable, never overly sweet or cloying. Performance is moderate, with noticeable longevity, though projection remains intimate. The bottle's elegant, refillable design adds to the overall sophistication. While some find the honey note weak or the projection faint, many praise its elegant complexity, maturity, and versatility across seasons and occasions. It stands out as a quiet, confident choice for those seeking a sophisticated, wearable scent that blends sweetness with grounded earthy notes.
