Cartier Pasha de Cartier Edition Noire Eau de Toilette 100ml is a darker, more nocturnal reading of Cartier's 1992 Pasha — an aromatic fougère for men that pairs cool, herbal freshness with a smooth woody-amber heart. Created in 2013 by perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer, it opens with crisp mint, watery notes, citrus and pepper, softens through heliotrope and violet, and dries down to cedar, iris, amber and clove.
About Cartier
Founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, Cartier became the jeweller of choice for European royalty and is today one of the most recognised names in haute joaillerie and watchmaking. Its in-house perfumery, established in 2005 under master perfumer Mathilde Laurent, applies the same precision to fragrance — though older icons such as Pasha and Must de Cartier remain part of the heritage line.

The story behind Edition Noire
The original Pasha de Cartier (1992) was a bright, soapy-aromatic men's classic inspired by the Pasha de Cartier wristwatch. Edition Noire revisits that DNA in a more contemporary, low-lit register: the citrus-mint freshness is preserved, but the woody-amber base is darkened with iris and clove for a smoother, more sophisticated trail. The bottle keeps the iconic chain-and-cap silhouette in matte black with brushed metal accents.
Who it's for
Edition Noire suits men who like fresh fougères but find traditional citrus-aromatics too daytime or too sporty. The mint-and-pepper opening reads sharp and modern, while the cedar-amber drydown gives it enough warmth for evening wear. Versatile across spring, autumn and cooler summer evenings; equally at home in the office and at a smart dinner.
How to wear it
- Spray onto the chest, neck or inside of the wrists from around 15cm away.
- Two to three sprays are enough; the EdT projects with a clear, focused trail rather than a heavy cloud.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together, which can dull the mint and pepper top notes.
