Pros & Cons
- ✅ This is a truly gorgeous perfume. It has all of the elements from the original Baiser Volé but with added full-bodied creaminess.
- ✅ Gorgeous, full blown, voluptuous lily dipped in creamy golden vanilla. Amazing longevity.
- ✅ This is my most preferred version of the Cartier Baiser Vole perfumes. ... This smells expensive in terms of how it unfolds and envelops the wearer.
- ❌ Too much vanilla. It drowns out all the other notes, which are relegated to the background.
- ❌ The vanilla feels incongruous with the rest of the composition... it's like opening a florist's refrigerator, breathing in the cold, fragrant lilies, but then someone rudely shoves a bottle of vanilla extract into your face.
- ❌ I had high expectations as I love vanilla and lily. ... the vanilla made the lily pull waxy on me.
