Carat, the olfactory jewel by Cartier Cartier this name alone is enough to transport us into a particularly luxurious world. Renowned for its sumptuous jewelry and luxury watches, the house is recognized worldwide for its unequaled craftsmanship and innate sense of refinement.
Carat by Cartier, a fragrance with a bottle sculpted like a jewel Before venturing into perfumery, the house of Cartier distinguished itself in the field of jewelry. From then on, the house has always tried to preserve a certain continuity between its two creative worlds. Its fragrances are like jewels. They are all synonymous with enchantment and wonder, as the new Cartier fragrance, Carat, can attest. Crafted like a rainbow of colors, it echoes a radiant and glowing femininity. While its femininity emerges from a particularly floral fragrance, note that all its splendor also emanates from the design of its bottle.
Cartier's prestigious past
The house of Cartier is undoubtedly one of the most luxurious in France. Founded in 1847 in Paris by jeweler Louis François Cartier, the brand has spread the image of French refinement to every corner of the globe. Nicknamed Jeweler of Kings and King of Jewelers, Cartier can boast of having adorned the most beautiful women in the world. In just over a decade, what was once a tiny Parisian workshop transformed into a luxury empire, even becoming the supplier to the Imperial House. Cartier has extraordinary creations to its credit, such as, for example, the necklace with 2,930 diamonds! Today, as if to pay tribute to its finest creations, Cartier presents a fragrance named Carat, whose bottle is a work of art in its own right.
Carat and its bottle, synonymous with purity
In jewelry, the carat is used to measure the purity of precious metals. By choosing to name its fragrance this way, Cartier promises to offer us a true olfactory jewel. However, it must be acknowledged that it is also breathtaking in terms of design. Its base forms a sort of thick glass cylinder whose walls are finely sculpted. Each one is cut at an angle, so as to reflect light at multiple points within its fragrance. Inside this glass, a sort of amphora holds the precious scent. It is, as it were, protected by a wide crystal frame. Entirely transparent, this bottle is topped with a spray head covered in a golden lacquer finish. Only its small push-button is tinted pink, for an utterly feminine result. The Cartier name is then engraved on its surface, with finesse and elegance. The whole resembles a jewel, topped with a protective cap of clear glass. The Carat bottle displays absolute harmony. Moreover, it has a somewhat Art Deco style. This slightly retro touch gives it a timeless allure. From then on, it becomes a classic, already designed from the outset to endure through the decades. Only time will tell whether this olfactory jewel will still delight women many years from now…
