Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Just in time for the holidays, the luxury brand has released a new series of scents called Les Heures du Parfum (English: The Hours of Perfume), following labels such as Chanel (Les Exclusifs) and Hermès (Hermèssences) into high-end perfume collections.
Five inaugural fragrances of the final thirteen were released at Saks Fifth Avenue in the US in November, with international Cartier boutiques following this month.
The first five scents stand for 'I' or 'L'Heure Promise' (The Promising Hour; smells of iris and sandalwood), 'VI' or 'L'Heure Brillante' (The Shining Hour; notes of lemon and gin), 'X' or 'L'Heure Folle' (The Crazy Hour; blackcurrant and blueberry), 'XII' or 'L'Heure Mystérieuse' (The Mysterious Hour; jasmine and patchouli), and finally 'XIII' or 'La Treizième Heure' (The Thirteenth Hour; narcissus and maté).
Two more will hit the market in non-chronological order each following year. 'Les Heures du Parfum' by Cartier sells exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue and international Cartier boutiques for €224.
