Carat, by Cartier in-house perfumer Mathilde Laurent, is a luminous 2018 floral conceived to shine like a diamond, blending seven fresh flowers into one abstract bouquet representing the colours of the rainbow. The composition is bright and dewy — hyacinth, lily, narcissus and ylang-ylang over a soft mimosa-and-white-musk base.
