By the editors · 2 min readEau de Cartier Vetiver Bleu is a Mathilde Laurent three-note exercise — mint, licorice, vetiver, and nothing else by design. The opening is icy and slightly medicinal, mint sharpened rather than candied, with the licorice supplying a cool, anise-tinged spine that braces the herbal top.
What would be a heart in a conventional pyramid is here just the join between the mint and the vetiver: licorice acts as a hinge, not a stage. The vetiver itself is the clean, dry, almost grapefruit-rind-bright variety rather than the smoky earthy one.
Minimal by intention, not by accident. A short-lived, summer-leaning scent that wears like a cold towel on the back of the neck.
