EDP · 2014 · unisex

Cartier's fine jewelry heritage translates seamlessly into fragrance, where the house applies the same precision and luxury to olfactory composition. Oud & Rose, released in 2014, exemplifies this approach with a balanced, sophisticated formula that treats both its titular ingredients as equals rather than supporting players.

The opening combines carnation and dried fruits with frankincense and gurjan balsam, creating a warm, slightly spiced introduction before the fragrance settles into its floral heart. Here, oud and rose water frame a delicate pear note, allowing the rose to breathe without becoming overly sweet. The base deepens considerably with oud returning alongside patchouli, musk, and mimosa, anchored by a subtle tea undertone that prevents the composition from becoming cloying. The overall effect is a floral oriental with genuine woody character, smoky and resinous rather than precious or syrupy.

This is best suited to those comfortable wearing prominent oud in a floral context, making it work equally well for anyone seeking a rose fragrance with backbone. It performs well in cooler months and evening settings, though the balanced composition keeps it versatile enough for year-round wear. Oud & Rose aligns with The Mystic, The Cipher, and The Reverie.

Top · 0–30 min
Carnation
Carnation
Spicy, clove-like, and slightly powdery, carnation is one of perfumery's oldest floral notes, with a warm, almost peppery character that distinguishes it from softer flowers. It has a vintage, slightly old-fashioned quality that is coming back into fashion. Think pressed flowers in an old book, warm and complex.
Dried Fruits
Dried Fruits
Frankincense
Frankincense
Smoky, resinous, and meditative, frankincense (olibanum) has been burned in religious ceremonies for millennia, and its scent carries that weight. It's simultaneously sharp and calming, with a slightly citrusy, pine-like quality that opens into warm, dry smoke. One of perfumery's most ancient and beautiful materials.
Gurjan Balsam
Gurjan Balsam
Labdanum
Labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Oud
Oud
The most prized and expensive raw material in perfumery, a resinous wood produced by agarwood trees infected with a specific mold. Real oud is animalic, smoky, leathery, and sometimes medicinal, with enormous lasting power. It anchors the great Middle Eastern fragrances and has become the defining luxury note of contemporary perfumery.
Pear
Pear
Gentle, watery, and slightly floral, pear is one of fragrance's most delicate fruit notes, with a clean sweetness that is closer to flowers than to heavy tropical fruits. It adds a soft, luminous freshness to compositions and pairs naturally with rose, iris, and light musks. Often the note that makes a fragrance feel effortlessly elegant.
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Rose Water
Rose Water
Base · 3–12 hrs
Mimosa
Mimosa
Powdery, honeyed, and softly floral, mimosa has a warm, golden sweetness that feels like sunshine in a bottle. The yellow puffball flowers of the mimosa tree produce an oil that is simultaneously floral, woody, and slightly animalic. A quintessential note of the French Riviera and romantic Provençal perfumery.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Oud
Oud
The most prized and expensive raw material in perfumery, a resinous wood produced by agarwood trees infected with a specific mold. Real oud is animalic, smoky, leathery, and sometimes medicinal, with enormous lasting power. It anchors the great Middle Eastern fragrances and has become the defining luxury note of contemporary perfumery.
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Tea
Tea
Green tea is cool, slightly astringent, and clean; black tea is earthier and slightly smoky. Both add a contemplative, refined quality to fragrances, the scent equivalent of a quiet afternoon. Tea notes bridge the gap between fresh and woody families and are a staple of minimalist, understated compositions.
