Roadster (2008)
by Cartier

This is a great mint based fragrance.
Start with a dark and alittle harsh but completely neutural mint smell.
When this fragrance drys down on your skin it's real pleasant and lovely.
Very green and neutural fragrance from cartier.
Projection and longevity of this fragrance is above average.
I get 6-8h which is ok by me.

I get too much of patchouli. Also I expected more natural smell of the mint while it's somewhere between the plant and toothpaste..

Received my samples today and was very excited to try.........huh not sure what I expected but this did not even come close. I gave the samples away.

A beautiful though fleeting mint opening sigues into a rather lovely and comforting earthy note which to my nose reminds me of hay. If you've ever had horses goats or cows then the heart of Roadster will be redolent of the scent that rises when you unbail the hay for the animals bedding. Rather than sing, roadsters earthy herbacious green tones rise like the dark mustiness of dried grasses in a sun dappled barn. There is a wonderful comforting sense here and as some have mentiond in earlier reviews a sombre note, reserved and contained and yet also very slightly sweet and honeyed. Glorious stuff!

This is one of the most amazing fragrances I have ever come across, and immediately fell in love with the fresh tones, although the mint note stands out above all the others.
The infusion of the various and almost contradictory notes of this fragrance, make it appealing to various skin tones, but above all, it exudes class and quality.
A fragrance that in my opinon has yet to be topped.

Roadster by Cartier ... a fresh, non-toothpasty mint, really a dark, subdued mint, which duets with a fresh, green fougere ... excellent quality and versatility ... very good sillage and longevity
