Eau de Cartier Essence de Bois

Yuzu and bergamot cut sharp and bright, lifted by violet leaf's green whisper, before the composition settles into a softer violet and lavender haze. Beneath lies the anchoring warmth of oud and patchouli—earthy, slightly resinous—woven through with musk and ambergris that deepen into skin-soft amber tones. The woody base emerges gradually, transforming the initial citrus clarity into something more intimate and shadowed, where oud's smoky warmth and patchouli's dark mineral character linger longest.
