Expert Analysis

What Makes It Unique

How It Wears

Its fresh and green character makes it suitable for warmer days, though intense humidity might subdue its nuances.

The Controversy

Some find its hyper-realistic lily note too sharp or 'green' initially, lacking sweetness.

The Cartier Baiser Vole Review

When a fragrance achieves the kind of ubiquity that Baiser Vole has, cynicism is the easy response. The harder — and more honest — question is: why? What is it about this EDP from Cartier that has made it a fixture in so many wardrobes across continents? Released in 2011, Baiser Vole built its following on White Floral, Green, and years on, it has not lost a step.

Value (7/10): Pricing at around $80 feels appropriate for what you get — neither a bargain nor an overreach.
