Tried the Roadster yesterday. Got a very subtle vetiver with creamy mint that was really nice, but on me (or my t-shirt to be exact) it turned very (read VERY) dry and spicy. Not my cup of tea. I think this is one that does not cross the gender line for me. While in the store, I got all the SA's trying the Bois Bleu and it seemed a huge hit with them. Hope you'll get a chance to offer a review when you've tried. Yes, my skin is traitorous in the extreme as I love, almost without exception, the openings of most of the Guerlains I have tried.

And too bad your skin won't let you wear Guerlains! Hollyc: now YOU'VE made ME curious about Bois Bleu. And too bad your skin won't let you wear Guerlains!

LOVE it! While I was in the store, I smelled Roadster on a scent strip and found it intriguing. The mint is there but not in a "minty" way, very creamy, restrained. I'm going back soon to try on my skin as I was covered in "Bleu" today. Finding the Cartiers lovely. The fragrance houses all seem to have "bases" that either work for you or don't and Cartier is no exception. I can't wear a single Lutens or Guerlain, but there isn't a Dior or Montale that I can't wear. From Bleu I am sensing a note that I smelled in "Le Must de Cartier" in the early '80's when I was too student poor to buy, but spritzed myself heavily every time I walked through The Bay in Calgary. Heaven. I am happy to hear that Roadster is mossy and dank, I love my fragrances to intrique and challenge. Fougeres and chypres are in my DNA. Thanks for the great review Kevin, I knew I wasn't wrong to be hooked by Roadster. By the way, I too am finding that Bleu lasts much better on my clothes than skin, thank god it isn't orange!!

In fact if NR had smelled more like this I would have been able to live with it and it wouldn't have been sold on Ebay. It's like Cartier giving NR a lesson in how to create an elegant fougere. Cartier do great fougere's, like Pasha and this is another one. It's a very elegant and well developed fragrance which I will almost certainly be dallying with at some point!

(Maybe they'll save that for the anniversary special edition) Lars: agree…a bottle on its side takes up the space of two standing bottles at least; guess we can be glad they didn't put it on sterling silver wheels!

Sounds quite classical for sth aimed at young buyers. Does indeed look like something aimed at young buyers, though... Love Must pH, it's in my top ten, but embarrassingly I always thought it was a classic from the end-sixties! That probably meant the original women's version then... The bottle though, I think it's really bad. Liquid belongs in a standing bottle or at least a container with the opening at the highest point. I think it's psychologically unwise to design a bottle that's lying on it's side. And of course it takes up much more space this way. Stupid design. I also agree it looks like a baby bottle.
