It's one of the best by Cartier. I have a full bottle but am tempted to buy a backup while they are still available.

A another wonderful frag bites the marketers dust. Very sad! I think I will have to get a bottle before the price skyrockets!

Same here. I just finished my bottle that was at least ten years old, but always drew compliments whenever I wore it. I think Cartier is very under rated in my opinion. While most of the scents are not powerhouse, they do last a long time. At least on me they do. Two sprays of Declaration or Must and I get at least 8 to 10 hours out of it. Wonderful frags from Cartier. Looking to try du un Soir by Cartier next. Can't find this one anyplace

Sad news indeed. Way above the average level of most designer's scents.

Must Pour Homme is also discontinued. Both variants have been removed from the Cartier USA website and neither of them can be found at the 5th Avenue store.

I wonder why this happens. I'm a big fan of both versions. Both of them, in my view, are modern, luxurious fragrances but I wonder if the fan base got a little old. So, my thinking goes, Cartier wanted to move forward with more recent creations as a way to develop a new generation of loyal enthusiasts, but that's just my conjecture.

Was the problem I had with this one. Smelled nice but just so discreet. I believe that the bottle I've tried wasn't in the best condition anymore though.

Thanks for the warning! I'll have to be sure to get some while I can.

I would describe the ordinary 'Must' like that; the Essence version has good longevity on me. As well as a better, more complex smell.
