Cartier La Panthere is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Mathilde Laurent. La Panthere opens with Rhubarb, Anise, Bergamot, and Dried Fruits, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Cartier's La Panthere carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

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.

About

Opens with a surprising burst of tart rhubarb and sweet dried fruits, with a hint of spicy anise and bright bergamot. The heart unfolds into a rich floral bouquet of gardenia, rose, and ylang-ylang, softened by juicy pear. The dry-down reveals a sophisticated base of leathery oakmoss and earthy patchouli, underpinned by a subtle, sensual musk that adds an animalic edge, completing this complex fruity chypre.
