What Does Cartier Pasha de Cartier Parfum Smell Like?
Upon the first spray is a blast of earthy darkness atop smoky and woody accents. Until I looked at the note breakdown, I didn’t know it was a blast of ambrocenide. I’ve never smelt a fragrance with it.
Fragrantica describes it as an “Extremely powerful and very sharp woody scent. With Ambery; slightly animalic and smoky agarwood notes.” It’s not too extreme to my nose, but I get the general idea.
In the background, a strong fir note and resinous woody tones support ambrocenide. The fir is the most prevalent of the two, amplifying the earthiness. After a few minutes, there are tinges of boozy liquor.
This all happens in the first half an hour and then transitions to a warmer and spicer tone. All the spiciness carries over from the top notes. There is no specific note. It pairs with a strong amber backbone. This spicy warmth will lead the dry down.
Amber will be at the forefront for the rest of the wear. It picks up sandalwood and balsamic accords. The rest of the wear is spicy with dominant amber and other accents.
The official Cartier Pasha de Cartier Parfum notes:
- Sandalwood
- Liquor
- Balsam Fir
- Benzoin
- Ambrocenide
- Tonka Bean
- Patchouli
- Labdanum
Performance
The performance is as good as the smell. Pasha de Cartier Parfum lasts eight hours on the skin with gentlemanly projection. In the first few hours, it pushes out multiple feet, then recedes. But it never becomes a skin scent or overwhelms during the wear. This performance is with three sprays.
The versatility is great as well. This is an excellent choice for the fall and winter. One is because the aroma best fits the time of the year’s stereotype. You’ll want a warm fragrance like this when it’s cold out. Two is because the scent is dense and needs cooler weather to temper its strength.
It also works in the early spring but differently than in the fall and winter. The good thing about this fragrance is that it’s not sweet. Even if it gets too hot, it’s not the end of the world. In a four-season climate, you’ll get a solid seven months of wear out of this.
As for the occasions, Pasha de Cartier Parfum works well for all because of its moderate projection. However, it especially shines on dates and formal occasions because the aroma is unique and alluring.
Lastly, the mass appeal and likability are excellent, and this is for a few reasons. First, the aroma is unique. It was created in 2020 but still retains an old-school and mature aroma that isn’t age decisive.
The likability is an even better story. To give you a hint, this made it on my “sexiest colognes for men” list. The combination of wood and amber in this fragrance is like nothing else. It not only attracts attention but sparks curiosity.
Final Words
On the Cartier Official website, a 100mL bottle costs $138. This is very reasonably priced for a fragrance of this quality. The final question is, is Cartier Pasha de Cartier Parfum worth it? Yes. This underrated winter fragrance is a show-stopper for dates and formal occasions.
My favorite aspect of the fragrance is the elegance of the blend. It takes old-school DNA and masculine accords, making it wearable for every man. This is more challenging than it sounds; they’ve pulled it off.
Pasha de Cartier Parfum is an excellent cologne and an alluring one. Yet, don’t just limit yourself to Pasha de Cartier Parfum. Check out the sexiest colognes for men. All are primed to grab positive attention; you might just find your signature scent.
