Cartier Fragrance Baiser Volé Lys Rose Eau de Parfum

Cartier Fragrance Baiser Volé Lys Rose Eau de Parfum on Belle Belle Beauty

It is so hard to review a fragrance. I consider it such a personal preference. But this one from Neiman’s took me by surprise. I usually love musky, Oriental and masculine scents. But this being summer, I guess I need a change of pace.

When I first encountered Cartier Fragrance Baiser Volé Lys Rose Eau de Parfum, I was dissuaded by the “rose”. It just isn’t my thing even if it is awfully in vogue these days. But actually this new fragrance from Cartier is based around lily (so feminine but still sultry).

Pink lily are married with raspberry and some notes of powder – and I couldn’t think of a better name: Baiser Volé (a stolen kiss).

Cartier Fragrance La Panthere Eau de Parfum

Cartier Fragrance La Panthere Eau de Parfum on Belle Belle Beauty

Need a little luxe in your life? After a girls weekend in Aspen, I’ve been feeling very jet-set. Being on the mountain and visiting all the couture stores made me feel tres chic. Note: I will say I found Aspen to be super-friendly and not one bit snooty. So no surprise upon my return, I keep reaching for my new bottle of Cartier La Panthere.

The newest from Cartier Fragrance is inspired the iconic Cartier Panther. Imagine a fierce but feminine feel. Mathilde Laurent, the in-house perfumer for Cartier channeled florals and musk for a balanced and alluring scent. Expect fruit right up front. Enjoy while you can because that strawberry/apple/apricot dries down to a gardenia balanced with more primal notes. The exotic musk and oak moss leaves a sweet, creamy spice.

While I usually like less feminine fragrances. I love La Panthere just because it is balanced enough and slightly mysterious. Not to mention, the bottle with a sculpted panther looks amazing on my bedside table.
