La Panthere

This is a recent discovery for me , and I am really enjoying it . I am so tired of perfumes that smell like a bakery or a jelly jar. And I am even more tired of perfumes that can’t be detected after twenty minutes. There are far too many of them ( Jan 2019 ) due to the last round of IFRA regs .

I purchased a 2016 bottle of La Panthere , and it is strong, rich and sophisticated. It is …Read more

I do not normally write reviews of fragrances. I am not easily impressed by the modern fragrances. They all smell the same for me. Flowers sweet gourmand with no edge what so ever. I got a sample of this at a perfumery when I purchased my makeup stuff. I normally try things on once and then pass them over to my sister. As I told I am not impressed by any modern fragrances. This smells not so …Read more

The bottle is fantastic . Solid ..like a damned glass brick in the EDP version.

To start , La Panthere has such promise. bursts of subtle velvet white florals and a sense of gardenia with a tint of sweet fruit.
As this is a modern chypre I expected some * form * of chypre-ness as the dry down approached. Within a few minutes , La Panthere smoothed out into a conformist post IFRA …Read more

I went to the Cartier show here in Denver with my mom last year and was RABID for the brand for a while after that. Given that I will never own any Cartier jewelry I went next best thing and picked this up. The bottle is amazing - it has the iconic Cartier panther carved in relief on the face! The packaging is luxe and looks amazing on your vanity.

A warning though - this kind of …Read more

There's something I really love about Cartier fragrances. They are different, a bit weird, and totally unique. This one is very retro, reminds me of a 1980's powerhouse scent (think Poison). It is a radiant, delicate gardenia coming together with velvety notes of musk. The top of the composition exudes greenish - fruity mixture in the form of molecule styrallyl acetates, containing …Read more

This smell reminds me of fragrances my grandma used to have, I put it on and I feel a lot older. It triggers migraines on me, so this is a NO for me

The bottles are the most beautiful and creative that I've seen for a long time. They remind me of the old Laliques. Fortunately, the perfume is also very beautiful. La Panthere is a modern, light-as-air take on the old-fashioned French chypre'. I love the vintage chypre's and own many of them, but La Panthere has the advantage of being wearable in far more situations! The first …Read more

La Panthere is a modern take on the classic chypre Rochas Femme, a well-executed contemporary floral leather chypre.
I believe this is the best fragrance launch since Féminité du bois.
This is a woman's perfume, not some sweet stuff for little girls, smells seductive, sophisticated and mysterious for assertive, confident women who have personality and character. Great longevity …Read more

This fragrance makes me purr . I love it. It is very well done , elegant but still modern. This could be my new signature ! This is one feline that loves the prowl . She sucks you in with her smooth purring . Then she pounces . Catch me if you can.... I think this is good for 30 plus . Might be a tad vintage for the younger crowd . Cartier did it this time . The bottle is the most beautiful on …Read more

It has taken me several wearings of this to finally post a review on it. You cant put this kind of perfume in a box. It's is so complicated and unusual. First off, the bottle is in a big chunky piece of glass that has a panthers etched on the glass. It is really cool looking. As you are spraying yourself with the perfume the bottle actually starts to get heavy in your hand. LOL!! Now …Read more
