When you think of Cartier, your first thought is probably the jewellery on Place Vend\u00f4me in Paris. But since 1981, Cartier has also been creating perfumes that are, quite literally, invisible jewels. Their masculine fragrances have something very few brands manage: that elegance that doesn’t need to assert itself because it simply exists. And of course, that luxury comes with a price that can give you pause. That’s why today I’m walking you through the best ones and their DIVAIN equivalents. My nose doesn’t lie. \ud83d\udc8e<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cartier launched its first fragrance in 1981 with Must de Cartier, an oriental woody for women that was an instant hit. Since then, the maison has developed a men’s collection guided by the same philosophy as its jewellery: impeccable craftsmanship, noble ingredients and an unmistakably Parisian style. Their leading perfumers, Jean-Claude Ellena and Mathilde Laurent, have built a unique olfactory universe with fragrances that resemble nothing else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Created in 1998 by Jean-Claude Ellena, D\u00e9claration is a masterpiece of masculine perfumery. Its opening is a citrus and spiced cocktail: bitter orange, caraway, birch, bergamot, coriander, mandarin, neroli and artemisia. A complex and vibrant start. The heart of Guatemalan cardamom, pepper, ginger, iris, juniper and cinnamon is a festival of elegant spices. And the base of Tahitian vetiver, tea, cedar, leather, oakmoss and amber is deep, earthy and memorable. A statement of elegant intent for the man of taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DIVAIN dupe:<\/strong> DIVAIN-218<\/a> \u2014 Very similar to D\u00e9claration by Cartier, with that spiced and woody character that makes it so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An icon since 1992. Pasha de Cartier is an aromatic woody that has outlasted every trend because it has something fashion fragrances don’t: its own character. Its opening of lavender, mandarin, mint, caraway and anise is fresh and aromatic. The heart of coriander and rosewood is clean and masculine. The base of labdanum, sandalwood, patchouli and oakmoss settles with elegance and depth. For the man who doesn’t need to follow trends because he has his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DIVAIN dupe:<\/strong> DIVAIN-267<\/a> \u2014 Reminiscent of Pasha de Cartier, that classic masculine aromatic that never goes out of style.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPasha de Cartier \u2014 The timeless classic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
