Cartier Baiser Volé Parfum 50ml Spray Ghost Peach and coconut milk open

Peach and coconut milk open it — warm

each a different rose — not the wedding-dress rose

The synthetic bristles hold their shape shift after shift

Three sprays in the morning reach through to evening

Clear gel that sits somewhere between a hand wash and a sanitiser — it cleans on contact without the harshness of alcohol-heavy formulas

Cartier Baiser Volé Parfum 50ml Spray Ghost Peach and coconut milk openTuberose and vanilla the pairing that makes half the fragrance department nervous because it's so easy to overstep into dessert. Cartier keeps it poised: the tuberose has a green, slightly soapy edge, and the vanilla is creamy rather than candy sweet. 50ml EDP. Four to five hours from skin, longer on clothes and hair. Reapplies cleanly mid afternoon if the afternoon calls for it.
