Cartier Oud & Oud, Oud & Rose and Oud & Musc ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 16 June 2014 20 Comments

Cartier Les Heures Voyageuses

Cartier has launched Les Heures Voyageuses, a new trio of fragrances in the Les Heures de Parfum series. The fragrances are Oud & Oud, Oud & Rose and Oud & Musc.

Les Heures Voyageuses is an immeasurably precious collection of High Perfumery fragrances from around the world that pays tribute to distant lands and the many journeys undertaken by the Cartier brothers. The Orient is the first stage in this journey that explores the powerful, woody notes of Oud, that rare and precious wood resin.

Oud & Oud ~ "Voluptuous wafts of sweet-smelling Oud resin immerse the senses, discreetly dispensing its delicate and restrained scent."

Oud & Rose ~ "The scent of Oud resin exerts its attraction to the full, matched only by the seductive force of the Rose. Together they combine the exceptional and the absolute in a harmony that rejoins the hallowed tradition of the fragrances of the Orient."

Oud & Musc ~ "Oud resin combines with musk to produce a scent that is both delicate and intimate."

Cartier  Les Heures Voyageuses Oud & Oud, Oud & Rose and Oud & Musc were developed by perfumer Mathilde Laurent. They are available in 75 ml, $355.

      I frankly don’t remember the price of the “regular” Heures, but yeah, $355. Ouch.

    I usually find at least interesting, and often beautiful, whatever Mathilde Laurent produces. But. Oud. I suppose it is missing from Cartier’s current line up (please correct me if I’m wrong!)

      I don’t know all the Heures so not sure, but certainly these are the first I know of with oud in the name. Eau de Cartier Essence de Bois had oud, but not in the title, obviously.

    Someone seriously named a perfume Oud & Oud. Because Oud just wouldn’t do.

      They should have gone with Oud & Ouder.

          With Oudest being the flanker to the flanker!

          I love oud, but even I’m saying ENOUGH! Mostly because a lovely rare ingredient is being over-harvested.

    I know we have had many oud, but i love those bottles and i love Cartier. But it’s so expensive! 🙁 I hope i’m at least able to try them…

    Thank you all for the comments here — I went twice through them and couldn’t stop laughing. And whoever is in charge of naming fragrances at Cartier — thank you too for giving us this opportunity (mentioning “The Orient” was an additional plus)

    I really don’t mind everyone doing an oud as every brand does a rose, vetiver, citrus …. However the naming of these perfumes is just very boring and Oud & Oud is spectacularly bad.
