La Panthère
La Panthère by Cartier is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2014 in the premium price tier. It opens with gardenia and red berries, moves into tuberose and jasmine and dries down to musk, oakmoss and leather. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
Heart
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
