Santos de Cartier by Cartier is a classic and distinguished Oriental Woody fragrance for men, embodying timeless elegance and bold masculinity. Launched in 1981 and created by perfumer Daniel Molière, this iconic scent reflects the spirit of adventure, innovation, and refined luxury that defines the Cartier legacy.

The fragrance opens with a vibrant and aromatic blend of lavender, juniper berries, basil, lemon verbena, bergamot, galbanum, and neroli. This complex top delivers a fresh yet herbal-citrus brightness, layered with green nuances that create an immediate sense of sophistication and vitality.

As the scent develops, the heart reveals a richly spiced and aromatic core featuring pepper, nutmeg, vetiver, rosemary, geranium, cloves, and clary sage. These notes bring warmth, depth, and structure, blending spicy intensity with aromatic elegance and a subtle earthy character.

The base is warm, smooth, and enduring, composed of sandalwood, amber, coconut, patchouli, cedar, and vanilla. The creamy coconut and vanilla soften the woods and resins, while patchouli and cedar add depth and masculinity. This distinctive dry-down gives Santos de Cartier its unmistakable character and lasting presence.

Bold yet refined, Santos de Cartier is a true gentleman’s fragrance—ideal for men who appreciate classic perfumery with a rich, aromatic-woody signature. It is perfectly suited for evening wear, formal occasions, or as a signature scent for those who value timeless style.
