Santos de Cartier, released by Cartier in 1981 and composed by Daniel Moliere, is a classic woody, spicy and aromatic masculine scent. Everyone describes it as woody, most as spicy and aromatic, and about half as green, floral and citrusy.
The opening is busy and herbal: lemon verbena and bergamot give a citrus lift, galbanum and juniper a sharp green bite, and lavender, basil and neroli a clean aromatic freshness. The heart is warm and spicy, as nutmeg, cloves and pepper add a dry heat, rosemary and clary sage a herbal tone, geranium a rosy-minty note and vetiver an earthy smokiness. The base is rich and smooth, with sandalwood and cedar for wood, amber and vanilla for warmth, patchouli for depth and coconut for a soft, creamy touch.
People report long-lasting to moderate wear and a moderate to strong trail. Votes favour autumn and winter and lean towards evening, suiting formal nights for someone who likes vintage, spicy-woody scents.
