≈ $130 · 100ml · approx. retail

Santos de Cartier is Cartier's woody-aromatic men's fragrance, opening with bright basil-and-citrus freshness and settling into an amber-woody base of clary sage and cedar. Named after aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont, it balances herbal aromatic freshness against an enveloping amber-woody drydown.
