Santos de Cartier(1980)

A herbal-woody cologne from Cartier's in-house perfumers, opening on lavender, basil, and bergamot, moving through a spiced pepper-nutmeg-patchouli heart, and closing on sandalwood, vanilla, and amber. Named for the Cartier Santos wristwatch, itself named for early aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, it extends the house's fine-jewelry identity into a masculine fragrance built around aviation-adjacent adventure and precision.
