La Panthère Parfum

I have no idea how anyone would love this piss smelling perfume. Literally sour black/dried lime the whole time, with a damp carpet. I have no idea how this has an overwhelming amount of positive reviews.

I lasts FOREVER. I sprayed on my neck and my hair picked up the scent and I could feel it for days literally. Very beautiful and mature fragrance. Elegantly crafted, with amazing longevity. Very mature and sophisticated scent.

NOT A SAFE BLIND BUY! But I really like it. I can smell the apricot and osmanthus, but it's not too strong. I do like a chypre with apricot and osmanthus notes. Of course it's also quite dense and strong for summer. My husband likes it even more than I do, he says it smells like a green monster.

i favor the elixir most in the line, though this is just as perfect . this is solidly chypre in its wearing, a much more shy gardenia this time, hiding behind a great wall of osmanthus and moss . fruity but not traditionally sweet, theres a veil of darkness from patchouli and musk that ensures this will not be seen with you in the light of day . decidedly for sunset to morning, not for the heat, not gentle, very oily & bewitching . i dont like the 80s but i love it here . “shes a maniac maaaniac on the floor”

@ntabassum92 beautifully expressed what I am feeling/experiencing... I've been on the hunt for an uber-feminine, white floral perfume that is extremely floral prominent with whatever customary base notes...vanilla, amber, patchouli, etc. It was suggested I might favor the flanker Cartier "La Panthere Parfum," as well as the original "La Panthere EDP." I purchased both perfumes. "La Panthere Parfum" is nice, it really is. But the perfume is not the love I hoped it might be. La Panthere Parfum opens with thick, syrupy, creamy, honeyed apricot notes immediately joined by beautiful oak moss, bitter-sweet osmanthus, a bit of patchouli, light gardenia and musk. But within 10-15 minutes after spraying on skin, I smell very very little. I think my nose is broken, I really do. I'm waiting on an 2014 iteration of La Panthere EDP, which is allegedly more complex, more beast mode. Hope so!

It's elegant and vintage smelling. I smell less of the gardenia than in the original. It also feels less complex than the original, richer, perhaps, but with fewer notes and accords. It's more fruit heavy. I smell mostly apricot and osmanthus, with that signature oakmoss musky/leathery base. Smells like a wealthy lady in furs. I think I prefer the original, this one is maybe a little too stripped back for my liking, and it is a little synthetic, I agree with xaarth.

La Panthere Parfum is not what I expected. Why was I expecting an eighties bomb? Something vintage feeling? ...I dont know. Maybe because of the name, but it is not a Panther. it is a kitten. I wear this to bed, and it makes me feel cozy. It is a soft apricot powder....with a touch of elegance. I can really overspray without worry. I have not tried anything else in the la Panthere range, so I don't know how it compares to the others. I feel this is a very modern perfume without any vintage vibes. I have been wearing it for a week in the middle of winter, and it suits the temperature.... snow kitten!

Ack. Roses and chemical scratchy apricot. Bathroom air freshener vibes.

Oh my God! J'afore les Muscs ronronantes! The most luxurious apricot confection you coul ever taste. The purring Muscs in the are really outstanding and extremely elegant, providing the shiny softness of black feline fur. The osmanthus in shining like never before, in its centerpiece role, dipped in dark, dense, chocolate-like patchouli. Stunning. Buy It. AT ONCE! P.S. I swear I can smell a Very single lipstick-y iris note in this.

I've been trying to find that bottle for a very long time, but it seems like it disappeared. And this is where I think most people get confused about the scent. Almost everywhere there's the square bottle but not the silhouetted one with the black band. And they are different.

A mature, classy, sophisticated feminine scent... Reminds me of walking into the lobby of a luxurious hotel, the sound of clinking glasses, in an elegant dress and heels. Slightly sweet/tart almost? and can be a little overpowering at first but it's a lovely scent for evenings. Wish the longevity was better.

This one is beautiful but doesn’t last long, it blooms quickly and dramatically and dies down in less than an hour. The newer version of Parfum is more stable, controlled, and lasts longer. The two are pretty much identical in smell, the newer version just offers a longer and more persistent experience.

Musky apricot. Not a heavy oakmoss; does not read as a chypre. Sits close to skin. Most seem not to recommend for summer, but to me it reads well in heat.

The Silent Power of Elegance From the very first moment I inhaled La Panthère Parfum, I was entranced. It is heavy, yes - but not like suffocating smoke. Instead, it drapes around you like a warm, luxurious blanket, offering comfort and quiet strength. Its floral heart is alive, but never girlish; it blooms with a sophistication that speaks of confident choices and carefully laid plans, all while remaining beautifully open to sensuality. La Panthère is a class act - poised, magnetic, and endlessly refined. It commands attention not by force, but by the sheer grace of its presence. A fragrance that knows its worth and invites you to discover yours

This is one of my favorites. It works very well with my body chemistry. It smells sophisticated and sexy. I wear this frequently but not if I go into the office. It does not feel work appropriate to me. Too sexy. Too deep. Also, I don't wear fragrance with strong projection to the office because of the number of people who have sensitivities to fragrance. The projection on La Panthere Parfum is fairly strong because I often get compliments on it from people who are standing as far as arm's distance away. At the same time, no one that I know tells me that it is too strong (and believe me, they would let me know!). On me, this seems to have that holy grail of projecting far enough that people can smell it but not knock them out from it being over-applied.

Classy. Mature. Somehow reminiscent of the colours burgundy and gold. Whispers posh.

More than a full review, this is about the difference within the new bottles for the entire La Panthere line (since around November 2024 or so?). I've tested the new bottle of this one (the parfum) side by side with both a tester in the previous bottle from the store , and also my own bottle which is also the previous design , several times. For reference, the previous bottle is the one shown in the image here, and the newer bottles look like a cartoonish version of it, with the design(cutouts?) on the outside. And I'm not liking the new bottle design AT ALL ! But, oh well.... Anyway, I am picking up on some differences, but I'm happy to report that at least IMO this hasn't been butchered but instead improved. The overall scent is basically the same, except the frag in the new bottles is fruitier and also the fruitiness and the moss are more present throughout the whole wear. Whereas in the old bottles they die down a bit as it becomes powdery. Still present but to a lesser degree than in the new bottles. Also, longevity has been improved! I must say that although I'm happy to have the previous version for the beautiful bottle, I'm actually liking the frag in the new bottles better. And despite me not liking the new bottle design, I did end up buying the new one too lol. And if anyone cares, the older design bottles are still available in many stores, most seem to have both available right now. If you prefer the older ones, get them while you still can! But I do recommend you give the frag in the new bottles a chance. 😉

Creamy chypre + ripe apricots = super classy! Smelled this and immediately thought my mom would love it. It has those 80s animalic/chypre notes to it that make it smell so recognizable. Take those iconic historic perfumes, make them smoother with some apricot notes, and you have this!! Really good 2020 release, im glad to see some brand are making new perfumes that have those vintage vibes. It’s vintage smelling but still appealing to modern noses, I think. Still has popular fruity notes with a velvety civet-like moss. My mom was heartbroken when she heard Magie noire was discontinued, so I’m hoping this will be a sufficient substitute.

I think the perfumer Mathilde is been able to interpret this perfume beautifully yet it still within the original La Panthere territory. I used to hate this fragrance in the past but as I’m getting older i started to develop likeness.

I totally agree with the commenter who said this perfume smells like a peach gummy. However, that makes this fragrance way too sweet for me. The original La Panthere is a very light, airy, clean-smelling perfume. This one smells a lot darker, denser, and sweeter and is very easy to get too much of. I think the dry-down is fine but I would not recommend this perfume simply because of how dense and heavy the opening is.

I think I’m growing on chypre fragrances. On my skin it smells lovely!!! Very sophisticated and earthy scent with some tender citrusy and herbal freshness! I can also feel some rose, it’s dark and slightly sour but not overpowering.

I’m really enjoying this and prefer it over the EDP. It reminds me of an adult version of a peach candy or gummy. Mature in a good way, with just the right amount of sweetness. Feminine and elegant. It’s beautiful, and feels more dense than the original, with better longevity. There is a musky, earthy quality too, so I wouldn’t recommend blind buying this.

Smells way too sweet, heavy, mature and vintage for my taste. Lasts long enough but would not blind buy.

gorgeous, classy, soft. amazing gorgeous floral dry down with a greenness. I've spent the last 10 minutes smelling the paper I sprayed it onto, I think I'd fall in love with any woman who wore this.

Repulsive opening; divine dry-down! The top notes are sickly sweet with a layer of cloying incense. After the first hour the clean gardenia shines through, and the incense note disappears, making way for a soft bed of dewy, earthy patchouli. Earthy, green, clean, floral, elegant, soft. Worth sitting through the opening for. I would stick to the EDP, however.

So very sophisticated!! I got it sprayed on a paper at the airport. Loved the initial apricot scent and then I put it in my pocket and completely forgot about it. The whole ✈️ I would get a whiffs of it, at some point looking at the people around me wondering who smells so exquisite.!!! Until I found that tester later in the evening in my pocket. Now a month and a half later tucked away in my diary... the scent is still there.Later I bought eau de perfume version but it's different, it's not an apricot in the beginning, although the dry down is the same. Anyway, it's a worthy signature and I absolutely love it.

Wow! This perfume is a LOT. It's warm, sensual, in-your-face, and overtly sexy; it is loud and unmistakable. It smells remarkably like incense to me– it's got that same deep, aromatic, resinous quality to it, and gives a similar mental image of breathing in deeply and finding your headspace altered. It also smells... a little freaky, almost. It's animalistic and organic in a way I feel like should be off-putting, but somehow isn't. Definitely would wear this out on the town if I were really looking to go home with someone.

Excellent perfume that’s almost the same as the “regular” eau de parfum, but a lot more potent. Unfortunately I wasn’t paying close attention when I bought my bottle and so I bought the eau de parfum instead of this one that’s labeled “parfum”. A mistake that is very easy to make. I’ll further review the eau de parfum later, just know that this is the one you want to buy if you want some longevity (still not spectacular, but a lot better)

This is warm and intense yet it has a sparkly bubbly factor that makes it suitable for the summer but in well air - conditioned environments. She is bossy yet not rude , but rather in an attractive elegant way , a panther just like the bottle.
