Baiser Volé is an iconic fragrance from the house of Cartier. It was created in 2011 and very quickly established itself as a must-have in feminine perfumery, embodying elegance and love. This floral composition revolved exclusively around the floral character of lily.
Cartier is a great house of creation famous for its elegance and its poetic facet. It is precisely this harmonious and almost elusive olfactory writing that is found in the new fragrance Baiser Fou. If its predecessor, Baiser Volé, constituted a kind of soliflore based on lily, Baiser Fou, for its part, revolves mainly around orchid, the signature flower of the house of Cartier. Both appear as romantic and passionate juices, an airy and soothing fervor that is also found in the aesthetic of their bottles.
Cartier's jewel bottles
On the occasion of each of its olfactory releases, the house of Cartier pays particular attention to its bottles. This it owes to its past as a jeweler. Indeed, it was first as a jeweler that the house of Cartier became known, playing for decades with the codes of elegance. Cartier is a house that constantly transcends the most precious materials in the world, adding to their rarity the excellence of its craftsmanship. It is precisely this ambition that is found in each of its bottles. Cartier continually answers the question, can one draw or sculpt a fragrance, in the affirmative. To do so, it does not hesitate to surround itself with the greatest design agencies and the best glassmaking manufacturers. Thus, it is a little as if Cartier had transformed its finest pieces of jewelry into invisible adornments meant to enhance the most radiant women in the world. Cartier has thus created a kind of bridge between its two creative worlds, for the greater pleasure of both the eyes and the sense of smell.
The visual sensuality of Baiser Fou
As its name suggests, Baiser Fou is a fragrance that echoes its predecessor, Baiser Volé. And while this comes across above all through its scent, it is also noticeable in its design. The bottle of Baiser Fou fits perfectly into the line of the Baiser Volé collection. Very close to its elder, Baiser Fou takes the form of an elongated cylindrical bottle, entirely transparent, letting one glimpse a fragrance with the look of an eau de Cologne, essences considered to be the source of our contemporary perfumery. Its neck, meanwhile, is ringed with gold for a particularly refined result. On it, the name of the house is inscribed with elegance and restraint. Its gold cap, however, is paired with a more vivid color. This lies in an intense red stone resembling a ruby. This shade is also very close to that of feminine lips covered in a sensual lipstick. From then on, it seems almost impossible to resist the call of this plump, elegantly made-up mouth. Lastly, as if to echo the fragrance it contains, this cap is engraved with an orchid petal. The whole resembles a rare and precious jewel, a fine tribute to all the craftsmanship of the house of Cartier.
