Pasha de Cartier, a men’s eau de toilette launched in 1992, takes its name from the house’s Pasha watch. Cartier describes it as a classic fougère accord in which fresh, luminous lavender contrasts with the woody depth of patchouli; its original description added mandarin, thyme, mint, rosewood, coriander and oakmoss.
The house now names only the fougère accord, lavender and patchouli. Its original description detailed a citrusy top built on an aromatic harmony of thyme, lavender and mint, a middle of rosewood and coriander, and a base of oakmoss and patchouli.
The top
Mandarin gives the opening its citrus note, over an aromatic harmony of thyme and lavender lifted by mint. Lavender, fresh and luminous, is the material Cartier highlights today.
Rosewood and coriander
Rosewood and coriander form the middle of the composition in the original description. Together they bridge the aromatic freshness of the opening and the woody essences of the base.
The woody base
The base pairs oakmoss and patchouli, whose woody depth the house emphasizes, with labdanum and sandalwood.
What the label declares
The ingredient list published by the house has fourteen entries: alcohol, water and fragrance, plus eleven regulated allergens. It names coumarin, linalool, limonene, eugenol, isoeugenol, citronellol, geraniol, citral, hexyl cinnamal, benzyl benzoate and benzyl salicylate.
