One of the instant successes of Ghost perfume is the Ghost Serenity perfume.  Launched in 2003 with the help of talented perfume nose, Michel Almairac, Ghost Serenity perfume has been an instant success as a night fragrance for women.  As its name implies, Ghost Serenity has the ability to bring peace and calmness to its wearer, helping its wearer feeling relax and feminine on the night out.  This is just the perfume you will need on your special night out at town, where you just need to relax and feel comfortable, releasing all your stress and helping you forget all the work that is left in the office or home.

Issey Miyake for men is similar to its women version except that it has more masculine feels in it through its mixtures of citrus, musk, woods, amber and spice.  One reason why it has been popular with the men is its light lingering scents that is not overpowering but yet lasting.  As noted through the numerous reviews, men who like Issey Miyake aftershave are also known to be loyal customers of famous designer perfumes like Hugo Boss, Polo Sport and Tommy Hilfiger, etc.  However Issey Miyake is known among them to provide better quality scents that have additional elements in it that makes it long lasting and complex.

One of the most important things that will perk a man up in the morning of a long working day is the aftershave.  A good aftershave will provide men with the refreshing feels he requires right after his morning shower.  Besides being refreshing, the aftershave must be able to make the men feel fresh and clean all day long, even if it is under the hot summer heat.  An aftershave that contains a light citrus scent will provides men with the freshness he needs all day long. When coupled together with a light musky and woody undertone, the superb combination will allows the men to feel fresh and clean.

Another thing I look out for when selecting my aftershave is the feel after applying it.  The aftershave should provide me with a silky and smooth feels after application and that will be the best condition for me to last through the day.  Issey Miyake after shave is one such aftershave that fulfills all the criteria that I have stated above.  Besides fulfilling all the criteria, it has also superseded that with its long lasting power.  Not all aftershave in the market today provides us with a light and yet long lasting scents.  Majority is either too overpowering or has poor lasting power.  Therefore if you are looking for a good aftershave that will provides you will the fresh and clean feels that is light and yet long lasting, Issey Miyake aftershave is the best choice you have got.

The world renowned jeweler first ventured into the world of perfume and cologne through the introduction of their first fragrance for men, the Santos de Cartier perfume.  The Santos de Cartier perfume was launched in 1981, as an elegant men’s perfume.  Santos being also the name of the first wristwatch that Cartier had made is also assigned to the first men’s perfume created by Cartier.  Santos was named after the name of Louis Cartier’s friend, Alberto Santos-Dumont that provided Cartier with the idea of creating a wristwatch for aviator who found that the pocket watch is too cumbersome when flying.  The Santos perfume is packaged in an elegant and attractive packaging of dark amber that portrays a hint of the Orient.

Originating from Paris, Santos de Cartier perfume is designed to suit the weather in the region that is mainly colder.  Concocted from the essence oils of Lavender, Juniper Berries, Basil, Lemon Verbena, Bergamot, Rosemary, nutmeg, Pepper, Vetiver, Geranium, Sandal wood, Amber, Patchouli, Coconut, Vanilla, and Cedar, with such a strong and manly scent, the perfume also make a great party scent to be worn during the cool evening night out.

I like this fragrance is because of its splendid mixtures of sweetness with patchouli and sandalwood that brings back many memories for me.  In fact similar to the Issey Miyake aftershave that I have been using all this years, this is one of my favorite perfumes, ever since I got hold a bottle of it.  This is simply Cartier men’s perfume at its finest.

1. Cartier Perfume- A Classic Fragrance

In 1981, the jeweler Cartier launched a new and interesting range dealing with a total look for the approach to personal styling with jewelry pieces to match. They launched a perfume and entered the men’s personal styling and grooming industry, by creating the Santos de Cartier fragrance for men. Over time the company has built a solid and reputable following in designing and launching elegant and expensive perfumes for the very rich and luxury market.

Success after success has followed with Santos de Cartier in 1981, the first perfume created by Maison de Cartier. It is a very vibrant fragrance designed for used in wintry conditions or in the chill of the evening, giving off a deep sense of freshness and a feeling of green. The fragrance is more for the mature and sensual type of man, who knows how to look well groomed. The scent is a heady and strong mixture of floral and wood spice. The upper layer of the fragrance has oils like lavender, juniper berry, basil, lemon verbena, and bergamot. The middle of the perfume has spiciness to it as it contains rosemary, nutmeg, vetiver, geranium and pepper, followed by a basic scent created from sandalwood, amber, patchouli, coconut, cedar and vanilla. Although he used some really humble ingredients, the perfume is unmistakably masculine in it inception and sense.

This was followed by Must de Cartier for women in 1981, launched by Jean-Jacques Diener. There are several layers to this elegant and charming fragrance as it start off by light hearted and full of citrus smells. The perfume is totally ideal for wearing in cool weather conditions and is a true classic of it own standing. As the day progresses the scent becomes naughtier with a sense of being flowery and fruity, and the nest you it has become heavy and musky.

The Must de Cartier is packaged in an expensive way and looks very sensual and has a dark elixir look to in the bottle. If used correctly, it could make for a night of passion, romance and seduction, all leading to a crazy feeling of being wanton and abandonment. It is not a fragrance for the faint hearted, more for the elegant, experienced woman. It would be wasted on a young girl. It does have some sophisticated ingredients such as aldhydes, pineapple, green mandarin, galbanum, peach, bergamot, brazilian rosewood and lemon in its upper layers. As the body temperature gets hotter, the middle layer develops, and that has a blend of carnation, leather, yellow, narcissus, musk, orchid, orris root, jasmine, vetiver, neroli, yling-ylang and rose. As the evening wears off it has a sense of the following amber, sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla, vetiver and civet.

Eau de Cartier was officially launched in 2001 under the aegis of Christine Nagel of Quest Cartier and is bisexual perfume with a strong citrus aroma. It owes its early conception to the big success of Déclaration Perfume, a daytime eau de toilette for men which first came on the market in 1998. But the nature of the fragrance is such, that it is popular with women as well. But there is down side to using this fragrance and that is that it only lasted 20 minutes. But there are other alternatives to it like Eau de Cartier Concentree. This awesome perfume contains some very strong layers of coriander, yuzu, and bergamot. It has the middle of violet leaf, lavender and violet with the base heady notes of cedar,patchouli, musk and white amber. Such a lively perfume is a must for the all corporate woman executive who lives in a man’s world. It reeks of appointments, schedules, interviews and sales presentations to big companies.

The Cartier Panthere Perfume has built up a good reputation over time since it was launched in 1987 and is a bold, smooth and divine. It’s more in keeping with the casual image and is suitable for older women and someone in their teens. It does contain a sweet blend of labdanum, ginger, orange blossom, mandarin orange, pepper, grapefruit and rose. It has a dominant middle layer of nutmeg, carnation, tuberose, iris, gardenia, freesia, jasmine, karo-korund, vetiver, heliotrope, ylang-ylang and narcissus. This followed by the basic volume of sandalwood, tonka beans, amber, patchouli, musk, civet, vanilla, oakmoss, incense and cedar.

In 2006 Christine Nagel launched Delices de Cartier which has the classic allure of a rich, bold, feminine coupled with underhandedness of being sugary sweet. When you first apply the perfume you are struck by how sparkly the fragrance is and it has a strong pepper aroma to it. Eventually as your skin gets used to it one gets a sense of fruitiness followed by a sharp clear smell contrasting vibrantly with a floral accord. Hardly surprising when the middle of the scent contains a lot of violet, freesia, and jasmine, followed by sandalwood, tonka beans and amber. It has long lasting power to keep the mature, sensual woman going through the day.

Perfume Reviews

I think Bright Crystal is the only Versace I could wear. The bottle is beautiful with a large crystal shaped cap and a pink perfume inside. This scent begins with very fresh top-notes…then dries down to a warming powdery amber/woodsy base that wears close to the skin. It smells so clean, refreshing, light, sweet, and mellow. I think the rose is dominant. It has that same fresh warm scent that you would get after having a bubble bath. Soapy yes, but also a comforting scent that I like a lot. The only disappointment i think is the staying power. If you want to wear this fragrance, you will need to reapply often.
