Must de Cartier

Must de Cartier opens with sharp green galbanum and citrus—mandarin and lemon cutting through aldehydic brightness—before peach and pineapple soften the edges into something almost honeyed. The heart unfolds with carnation's spiced sweetness, yellow narcissus, and creamy orchid, while leather and vetiver add an earthy spine beneath floral warmth. Base notes settle into amber and tonka's caramel depth, sandalwood's milky grain, and a whisper of civet that keeps the sweetness from cloying—a composition that moves from crystalline freshness to amber-and-leather comfort.
