Which Should You Buy?
A Guerlain for the masses, La Petite Robe Noire EDT is either a crowd-pleasing, fresh cherry dream or a synthetic, headache-inducing scrubber. Its lighter touch compared to the EDP makes it versatile, but polarising enough to make a blind buy risky.
La Panthère is a bold, divisive chypre that conjures images of powerful women. Love it or hate it, this scent certainly doesn't blend in with the crowd, earning it a loyal following and some equally strong detractors.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its lighter EDT formulation and fresh,fruity accords make it suitable for casual wear and even office, provided it's not oversprayed. While some find it too 'girly' for formal events, its elegance can work for a date, though longevity might be a concern.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
