About This Perfume
Cartier Panthere smells like bright white florals with musky, smoky warmth. It opens with orange blossom, mandarin orange and labdanum, moves into tuberose, carnation and gardenia and settles on civet, sandalwood and amber. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in fall and winter and is a daytime scent. A good pick for date nights. Released in 1986.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something floral and powdery for date nights.
- Sample first if: white floral is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $105.
