There’s something about that little red box. Yeah, you know the one with gold script adorning it. For fashion people, the Cartier Love bracelet is an investment piece that can be worn with any and everything. The same can be said for Cartier’s fragrances. With a range of scent options from floral to musk, much like the brand’s coveted jewelry, any perfume you select will complement your wardrobe with ease. Now, fragrance isn’t all about you—even though we wish that was always the case. Perfume is also the perfect gift for loved ones in your life for any occasion.
From birthdays to holidays, fragrance is the gift that keeps on giving long after said special occasion has passed. Now, selecting the right one for yourself or someone you love does require a bit of research, and in the case of Cartier fragrances, we’ve taken the guesswork out and selected our top 20. They aren’t just one-note (pun intended). The legacy brand offers everything from fragrance to bodycare alongside discovery sets that give you (or a loved one) a chance to explore all the brand has to offer from an olfactory perspective.

This fragrance packed into a gorgeous black panther–inspired bottle is one of the brand’s best sellers. Created by Mathilde Laurent, Cartier’s in-house perfumer, La Panthère offers a grounded scent with fresh gardenia and velvety musk at the helm.
We love an original creation, and this one from another of Cartier’s in-house perfumers, Baiser Volé, is all about fresh florals with the flower power of lilies as the star.
With notes of lavender and the woody depth of patchouli, this eau de toilette is all about relaxation.
As this scent pays homage to nature, the brand also designed the fern, lentiscus, oak, geranium, rosemary, and wild herb fragrance with 100% plant-based ingredients sans artificial colors.
This botanical, woody, and spicy fragrance is housed in a tinted green bottle with shades of blue and gray, designed to complement the vibes of this scent.
Layered with the scent of almonds and woody notes, this fragrance brings femininity and warmth.
Magnolia is the star of the romantic, fresh fragrance.

Remember those refills we mentioned? The 30 ml glass refills slip right into the cases of the Nécessaires à Parfum thanks to a magnet, and there are many scents to choose from, including La Panthère and Perfum Pasha.
With two 30 ml glass refills, this eco-friendly option will ensure you’re never without your beloved scent.
If La Panthère is your fragrance, investing in a refillable case is one small step to helping the environment.
