Review of Cartier, Delices de Cartier Eau Fruitee

This scent initially screams "RHUBARB!" -- a tart, hot spicy scent you'd be more likely to find in an Asian Mongolian desert tent during a religious ritualistic offering rather than on the streets of Paris. Rhubarb is a plant that's native to Asia, even though it's commonly used in pie. Ok, even though the scent claims to have other included notes such as Bergamot, Mandarin, Rhubarb, Morello-Jasmine Accord, Sandalwood, Amber Accord-- the Rhubarb completely overpowers them, in my opinion. It's the main thing that really stands out! Honestly, I see this more as a unisex scent leaning toward the "male" category rather than female. Don't be deceived by the very female sounding perfume name! This is how it smelled mixed with body chemistry, and I am half Asian... so maybe it would smell different on others, but seriously, they need to go easy on the Rhubarb! It's definitely unique to me, but has a very incense-like smell to it.
