While haute parfumerie is an art in itself, imagine a refined fragrance that goes beyond the scent. The ultimate luxury, to a house like Cartier, is in living and breathing artistry in your everyday life elevating the gesture of perfuming yourself, no matter where you go, to an act of beauty.
This is where the Cartier Nécessaires a Parfum collection comes in. Launched a year ago, this range of perfume bottle cases is inspired by Cartier vanity cases that date back to the beginning of the 20th century. Engraved, enamelled and lacquered, such perfectly proportioned objects collectively termed Neécessaires were the expression of art de vivre, during an era that was attentive to details and ultra-feminine gestures. And why shouldn't such sophistication in going out, putting on make-up and touching up with a spritz of fragrance be cherished in modern times?
