From Cartier, a Les Rivières de Cartier discovery set: "Insouciance, Allégresse, Luxuriance: three rivers, three intense emotions that immerse you in nature, celebrating life. These clean scents pay homage to nature with a fully responsible approach, from the bottle to the formula." 3 x 10 ml, $68 at Bloomingdales.
Another day, another collector bottle. Here we have 75 ml of Cartier Baiser Volé Eau de Parfum, in a (lovely) bottle celebrating the fragrance's 10 year anniversary. $138 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
To me, the rose is almost not a Cartier flower. It’s too classic, too romantic, too mawkish, too much of a cliché or too commonplace. The flower has always been a symbol of femininity and that bores me. It makes me sad because there are countries where men wear roses, and it represents masculinity and virility. In the end, I said to myself that I could twist it to really show off its beauty.

A lemming for fans of Cartier's La Panthère: this awfully tempting limited edition collector bottle at Macy's. "Maison Cartier offers a unique new accord, combining a flower and a sensation: a feline floral fragrance. To express femininity, Mathilde Laurent chose to explore the glory of a radiant gardenia, sensual yet delicate. For an animal touch, she created a soft velvety musk. Enjoy this fragrance in a special limited-edition bottle." $129 for 75 ml Eau de Parfum.
Cartier has launched Les Rivières de Cartier, with three new unisex fragrances (Rivières Allègresse, Rivières Luxuriance and Rivières Insouciance) developed by Cartier house perfumer Mathilde Laurent and “inspired by rivers in nature”…
