Delices by Cartier

Spiced, ambered and talcum-scented with a touch of vanilla. It was a real gem in the 2000s; I was always full of compliments. I kept it with care when I heard it was being discontinued… until today. I wore it on a special trip and finished it there. Now I perceive it with a vintage air. Hoarding things that no longer serve you stagnates energy (Feng Shui). Important to enjoy and make room for the new heart.

I don’t sense anything vintage. The cherry opening is very fleeting on my skin and was the only thing I liked because it doesn’t smell artificial, something other cherry perfumes fail at. In the dry-down I only notice a chocolatey aroma that I don’t like, making it common and reminding me of Lolitaland, which I can’t stand, although chocolate isn’t declared here. For me it’s gourmand, but it’s a no.

I clarify it’s a 2006 Cartier fragrance, so I expected a vintage touch and I wasn’t wrong. The protagonist is an alcoholic cherry with pepper and bergamot spices. It’s a strident, almost macerated, mature and characterful cherry. I barely notice the floral notes, perhaps in the dry down with the sandalwood. I don’t interpret a modern gourmand, but a classic and vintage sweetness. I’ve read others note oregano and I understand the spiced combination can go that way depending on the pH. In trail and longevity, for an eau de toilette it behaves like a perfume. I advise trying before buying; it can be overwhelming. It doesn’t fit my DNA; I feel it too intense and full of character, for vintage tastes and over-forties. I don’t recommend buying blindly. Compared to Fendi’s L’Aqua Rossa, the similarities are the cherry, but this is more versatile and discreet, more suitable for everyone. The difference is the absence of spices, so for me it’s more elegant. More info on my Instagram and TikTok OlerPoesia. Greetings! Heart

Cartier is my favourite fragrance brand. Délices de Cartier is a gem from the house, an splendid, discreet and very alcoholic cherry. Super light and sensual fragrance for lovers of the fruity note. It reminds me of the fruity note in In Black by JP, but I prefer Délices; in In Black it’s overdosed and the fruity note turns dark, here it seems cleaner. I think it’s suitable for young people up to 35, although I believe the scent goes more with personality than age, but I don’t see an 80-year-old grandmother wearing Délices. The bottle is a beauty.

It’s delicious; I love the opening and projection; it smells to sweet cherries with liquor.

I love it. It’s a fantastic perfume with lots of liquor and plenty of cherry; I find it very special.

It’s my most recent acquisition; I applied it without many expectations and it surprised me a lot. Longevity: 8 hours projecting very well, at 15 hours I still felt it without effort… Wow. Tonka predominates, something chocolatey and wine-like with cherry, amber and a citrus air that adds freshness. I feel it a bit talcum-scented, very rich. Totally sweet and sensual, for day and night winter use.

The perfume is lovely, seductive, and woody. For me, it’s a bit too strong for daytime wear, but by night it’s incredible: it gives a feeling of sensuality and class. I feel sexy wearing it. It’s a super elegant and refined fragrance, and when you wear it, you don’t go unnoticed. I recommend it for evening.

I received it as a gift. I liked it, but I never would have bought it myself; for me, it was too sweet and heavy, even making me feel older or too elegant. At that time, I went to very informal places, so I think it didn’t fit.

Delicious, sweet, and elegant.

At first, I thought it was chocolate filled with cherries, and although it has that sensation, wearing it doesn’t smell artificial or childish. It has a hint of liquor that gives it freshness; in the end, the vanilla and amber stand out more. It’s a delight, totally recommended. I used it a lot in winter and I think it can be worn in summer at the office because it’s soft but projects. It lasts about six hours.

It’s the only one I bought after smelling a sample in a magazine and I loved it immediately. To my nose it’s pure cherry, tonka bean and soft vanilla, more woody than sweet, with a fresh and subtle jasmine. The opening is sweet, but after forty minutes the intensity drops and a feminine sandalwood and amber appear with a touch of violet. On my skin it smells like chocolate cake with cream and cherries, very gourmand and sensual. It’s elegant, uncommon, feminine and coquettish; it always receives good compliments, especially from men.
