The Pochet Group draws on its unique combination of expertise to create Carat, the new fragrance for the House of Cartier.
Inspired by Art Deco in a contemporary reinterpretation, the faceted bottle is designed like a diamond of absolute purity. The quality of Pochet du Courval glass, renowned for its brilliance and transparency, combined with the hot glass expertise of our teams, made this creation possible. The regularity of the extremely sharp edges required all Pochet du Courval's expertise in tool design and demolding. The bottle's shoulders, flat at 90°, were also a real technical challenge. Finally, the iridescent sheen of the bottle captures light more effectively and diffracts all the colors of the prism, mirroring the reflections of the clean-cut glass sections. This effect is achieved by thermolustration, a technique mastered by very few glassmakers today.
The cap assembly, featuring a complex multi-component assembly, is made by Qualipac. At the base, the luxurious gold-galvanized collar bears the brand's signature. The ingenuity of Qualipac's teams has enabled us to propose a two-stage tilting system for the upper part, inducing a smooth, progressive opening and closing gesture. Each time the valve is positioned, a pleasant sound is emitted to provide a reassuring effect. To underline the elegance of the whole, this top part, with its glass-like absolute transparency, is embellished on its bevelled contour with double-sided hot stamping.
For Cartier, Groupe Pochet creates a bottle with the sparkle of a diamond
