Shades of style
THE classic style of aviator sunglasses is revisited by Cartier in its R de Cartier Extreme collection. Featuring brushed metal, a riveted bridge in black or brown rubber and polarised grey or brown lenses, these shades not only protect your peepers, they increase your style points too. R de Cartier Extreme sunwear will be launched in January 2010. Currently, the prescription eyewear for the series is available at the Cartier boutique at Ion Orchard and Takashimaya Shopping Centre at Ngee Ann City.
Olfactory Zing
CATCH a whiff of the Roadster and take note of its invigorating scent. The Cartier Roadster eau de toilette carries a crisp note of mint, along with hints of patchouli, wood and vanilla. If you need some olfactory zing, this is the perfume for you. Available in 50ml and 100ml quantities, the scent is housed in a simple yet masculine glass bottle, topped with a brushed-steel cap that is inspired by the design of the Cartier Roadster's watch crown. The Roadster by Cartier fragrance series also includes an after-shave lotion (100ml), natural spray deodorant (150ml) and stick deodorant (75ml). Spritz this on at Cartier, located at Ion Orchard and Takashimaya Shopping Centre at Ngee Ann City.
