Cartier is a luxury brand with a long history. It was founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-Francois Cartier, who was originally a watchmaker in the early days. His grandson, Pierre Cartier, introduced jewelry to the company’s offerings in 1904 and set out on a quest to create some of the most iconic pieces of jewelry ever made.
Today, the company’s fragrances are just as renowned as its watches and accessories. Likewise, their colognes are some of the best in the world. These are inspired by and named after cities around the globe. So whether you’re looking for a new scent or want to take a trip around the world without leaving home, this is your chance.
Cartier has something for everyone, from the classic Eau de Cologne to the more contemporary fragrances. If you’re looking for an elegant fragrance for men, look no further than these options from the brand.
