Cartier Panthere is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1986, created by Alberto Morillas. Panthere opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, Orange Blossom, and Rose, settles into a heart of Fruity, Vetiver, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Cartier's Panthere carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

A powerhouse of a vintage floral chypre that's been tragically discontinued. This is the scent of 80s glam, rich and unapologetic, but its unique animalic touch might not be for everyone. If you can find a vintage bottle, snap it up - modern takes just don't compare.

About

Panthere bursts open with a bright, spicy citrus kick from grapefruit and ginger, quickly settling into a dense, creamy bouquet of white florals like tuberose and gardenia. As it dries, it softens to a velvety, powdery finish, underpinned by a warm, woody base of amber, patchouli, and sandalwood, with a distinctly sensual civet purr grounding the composition. It's a complex, multi-layered journey from fresh spice to deep animalic warmth.
