Cartier Must II opens with a sharp burst of bitter tarragon, citrusy bergamot, and crisp hyacinth. As the top notes settle, the fragrance turns into a cool green floral arrangement dominated by powdery narcissus, earthy orris root, and jasmine. The drydown reveals a classic 1990s oakmoss and dry vetiver foundation, anchored by sandalwood and musk. Designed by Alberto Morillas in 1993, this composition wears crisp, bitter, and dry on warm skin. It thrives in cool spring rain or crisp autumn mornings, offering a disciplined, aromatic alternative to rich resinous orientals.

The heart brings a soapy white floral bouquet of lily-of-the-valley and jasmine. Oakmoss, vetiver, and cedar create a cool, dry, earthy base that cuts through humid spring weather.
