If you don't like crisp florals, stay away friend.

An unusual floral, very pleasant.

First spray: hyacint and lime march forward at full force, with pear following them a step behind. Mimosa takes its time to reach them, a few minutes after, to soften the trio crispness. It's like a lady joining three gentlemen in conversation: suave, enchanting, delicate in her approach.

The fragrance mellows rather slowly, developing into a comforting, soft white floral, soapish scent.
Not particularly impressed by it, but I would most definitely wear it this summer.
Very pleased overall, it's a "well done" Cartier for bringing out there something completely different from the trendy.

Update: it's been 30 minutes since I sprayed on Carat... NOW I'm truly impressed! 10/10 from me!!!!

2nd Update: ... and it keeps going! After a few hours, Carat unleashes its primal, magical spell. Could anyone wish for more? No.

I should add that I have a slightly alkaline PH, which makes my skin rather dry and cold compared to the average PH. This type of perfume works better on alkaline, it needs a "colder" and dryer skin to fully release the bottom notes. I noticed this in years of scent addictions: what works wonders on me, doesn't work at all on others.

ENCHANTING!

Unconvincing Carat

According to the blurb, Carat is supposed to be a white diamond forged from a rainbow of perfume colours. It does evoke the hardness and clarity of a gem - for a while, but for the most part it smells like the twinkling violets of Eau de Cartier plus a weird 'cucumber-hydroxy'.
Which leaves me unconvinced.
It's more like the quest for a clever idea than a fine perfume. I find it strange and rather soulless.

Beautiful bright bottle contains a matching scent

Cartier Carat opens on me with lots of aldehydes and a blast of spring flowers. This part does evoke the diamonds in their marketing imagery. The mid notes are fruity floral. It envelopes me in the sparkly scent with a medium sillage.

It is a very pretty and feminine skin scent at seven hours.

The packaging is an understated beauty. Overall I enjoy this fragrance, but it will not be a hero in my collection. For me, it feels a bit more elegant than a work scent. It could be a great bottle for someone who wants to feel confident and bright.

Light and bright daily scent (...but without base)

You think of the Maison Cartier and you immediately imagine important and opulent classics such as Must, Pasha or Declaration, all scents with a strong character and a very noticeable sillage.
This one is a light gem charming mainly for its bright and precious multifaceted bottle recalling the high jewelery.
But let's smell the scent: first of all you smell the springtime flowers bouquet, made of hyacinth and violet, very light and not as penetrating as the Guerlain Insolence's one. You 'll feel a sense of floral freshness, like a "springtime on the skin". The only deeper and warmer note is the Ylang, but it's just suggested and not so vibrant.
But the great awol is the base! No musk, no deep notes, no ingredients giving a certain longevity to this scent. I can't forgive that to a brand like Cartier, mainly because the price is very high and you have to pay only the deluxe bottle in spite of a scent less persistent and lighter than a Zara's fragrance!
Anyway, if you're searching for something bright, light and crystalline, this is your cup of tea: a typical daily fragrance to wear by day and in the hot season and at the office too for its very inoffensive sillage.

Bouqet of crisp, fresh florals with a soapy, powdery vibe

Carat is an unexpected fragrance sample I got from a visit at Holt Renfrew where I was perusing Cartier's La Panthère fragrance line. The salesperson presented me with this one on a paper strip and I was sufficiently intrigued by it to ask for a sample.

Now that I've had time to test it on my skin in the comfort of my home, I've got to say it's still a pretty lovely fragrance. It has a very crisp and tart opening that reminded me of citruses, even though there's none in the notes. Doesn't take too long before the assortment of florals come up. I can't clearly pick them all apart, but I can say I get a crisp and fresh feeling, almost cold to the nose. There's also a deep soapy vibe with some powderiness and an undeniable green aspect. It also smells floral sweet. It's exactly like putting your face in a bouquet comprising many different flowers.

Sophisticated, classy, elegant. A very pretty floral perfume that can be worn by many, although I do picture a woman in her late twenty / beginning thirties wearing this perfume while going out on a stroll. It won't make it to a full bottle in my collection since I find it a bit too soapy and powdery for my taste, but it's nonetheless a lovely classic scent.
