Must
Cartier's Must Eau de Toilette is a woody, gourmand fragrance, first launched in 1981 and made in France. Its character moves between warm sweetness and crisp freshness, with a powdery, amber-toned depth running underneath.
The opening is bright and aromatic, with a citrus sparkle, a fruity and faintly green edge, and a bergamot lift that keeps the first impression lively. As it settles, a soft floral heart and a leathery, musky warmth come forward, giving the scent more body. The base is where the richness gathers, with a vanilla and balsamic sweetness balanced by a dry woody undertone that stops it from feeling cloying.
On skin it tends to sit close to the wearer, but it generally carries well across a room, so a small amount goes a long way. It usually lasts through a working day and has a settled, confident presence.
It suits a range of settings. Many people wear it for casual days, professional environments and evenings out. Its warmth feels right in autumn and winter, while the fresher top keeps it pleasant in spring and summer.
