Must de Cartier is a rich, oriental-leaning floral from Cartier, launched in 1981 and composed by Jean-Jacques Diener. Floral is the main accord, with about half of people noting sweetness and wood, a fair share citrus, and some green and fresh facets.

The opening is surprisingly bright and green, with galbanum giving a sharp leafy bite, bergamot, lemon and green mandarin a citrus sparkle, aldehydes a soapy shimmer, and peach and pineapple a ripe fruitiness. The heart is dense: orris root brings powder, carnation a clove-like spice, ylang-ylang and jasmine a creamy richness, with leather and vetiver adding a darker, drier edge. The base is warm and animalic, built on vanilla, amber and tonka bean for sweetness, civet for a sensual, skin-like depth, and sandalwood for smoothness.

People report long-lasting to near-endless wear and a moderate to strong trail. It is voted for winter and autumn and leans towards evening, suiting formal nights and cold weather.
