About This Perfume

Think Clean musk, warm spice, woody resin: that is Louis Cardin Aspiration. It opens with fresh notes and spices, moves into balsam, musk and woody notes and settles on amber. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.

This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2011.

Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something clean and gentle for casual days.
  • Sample first if: woody is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike amber fragrances.

Around $22.
