Eau de Cartier Essence d'Orange Limited Edition 2011

Orange and bergamot burst open like daylight, sharp and radiant, before violet and black locust bloom into the heart—a floral sweetness threaded with something almost honeyed, fruity. Essence d'Orange slides into its base where amber softens the edges, while Virginia cedar brings a dry, pencil-shaving warmth that patchouli deepens into earth. The drydown settles into amber and cedar, a dusky, woody trace that lingers longer than the citrus began.
