THE FIRST MEN’S FRAGRANCE BY Cartier

The house of Cartier also used the term Cologne for the American market, anticipating sales to the stockbrokers of NEW YORK and the oilmen of TEXAS

The ultimate symbol of luxury

The first luxurious box, in light gray, sets the tone for what follows

The second box is leather, burgundy-colored, with silver trim

At the bottom is a red security seal (sealing wax) bearing the name Parfums Cartier Paris

Inside, a white fabric case contains a base (a metal casing with gold extensions secured by open screws) in gray argente

The oval, transparent bottle is dark brown and made of heavy, exceptionally high-quality glass

The base is reminiscent of the famous Cartier cigarette lighter

DESIGNER : Rosseau Xavier

The team of perfumers was led by Frenchman Daniel Molière, using raw materials from Givaudan

Curated, distributed, and guaranteed by Italy’s LMC –INTERNATIONAL S.P.A Milano

In the early 1980s, Santos de Cartier was by far the most expensive men’s fragrance on the market!

AROMATIC RAW MATERIALS: (BOTANICAL – MINERAL – ANIMAL) AND SYNTHETIC (CHEMICAL):

Lemon – Basil – Bergamot – Lavender – Neroli – Juniper berry (Cypress – Ripe fruits) – Verbena (leaves) – Celery absolute (Apium graveolens – celery seeds).

The quality of the fragrance and richness of its natural ingredients are also evident in the fact that it contains three (3) or more solvents, since absolutes, concretes, and resins are semi-solid and highly viscous

A luxurious, intensely sensual, incredibly masculine fragrance

A daring, magical, unparalleled fragrance

A refined fragrance, like Cartier jewelry

A fragrance of power, unrivaled

One of the finest fragrances for mature men of all time

A masterpiece

THE ITEM IS UNTOUCHED

THE ITEM HAS NOT BEEN USED

AUTHENTIC AND RARE

As you will see in the photo section, there are no pictures of the inside of the box or the bottle, because it would not be right to do so and deprive the buyer-collector of the joy and pleasure of being the first to open a product after many decades.
