Yessssss! Finally, a wearable mainstream fragrance!
I haven't written a comment in a while. Why should I?! The whole sporty shower gel freshness among the new releases for men was too boring.
But now I've dared to make a blind purchase again.
The scent notes sounded too tempting. Not this modern uniformity with a lot of synthetics.
I do not regret this blind purchase!
The fragrance starts with a bright freshness but not in a shower gel way. Then it quickly and directly glides into a powdery and slightly creamy honey note. Sweet but not too sweet, honey but not sticky. This unusual honey note is always present. It feels wonderfully warm and is therefore very suitable for autumn and winter. The patchouli stays elegantly in the background. The musk is not noticeable to me. The base is covered by guaiac wood. In combination with the honey, it creates a cozy final note. The longevity is good to very good.
Finally, an innovation in the mid-price segment! The fragrance does not smell synthetic and thus comes across as high-quality.
I purchased the 50 ml version. The bottle is made of heavy glass. The cap is made of metal or gives that corresponding feel. Thus, it also creates a valuable impression here.
Hopefully, L'Envol finds its fan base! Cartier caters to the more discerning, individual customer in the affordable price range. Thank you, Cartier!!!
I also think Mathilde Laurent does a great job for Cartier. Bold, without being loud and extravagant. I recently tried the new L'Envol EdT on vacation. I liked it even more with the citrus notes.
