World Extension Cartesien by Viviane Vendelle Cologne. World Extension Cartesien is a fresh, spicy fragrance for men. It begins with a refreshing blend of petitgrain, mint, and sea notes. Slightly sweet middle notes include nutmeg, lavender, and cardamom. The base is woody, warm, and earthy with notes of sandalwood, musk, and cedar. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, making this aquatic cologne an excellent choice for a variety of occasions. Wear it in the summer for a splash of coolness, or in the colder months when the warmth of the wood notes stands out best. It also transitions well from day to evening, when the dry-down creates a pleasant experience as the notes begin to mingle together in unique ways.
