Express your wild side
To mark the fifth birthday of La Panthère, Cartier has made exclusive edition of it’s iconic fragrance for the Middle East. Two new brightly decorated bottles highlight the multiple facets of this feline, floral fragrance.
A celebration of femininity, the scent was first by Cartier’s perfumer Mathilde Laurent in 2014 who dared to reintroduce the legendary chypre with an innovative feline-floral accord consisting of gardenia. This combination resulted in a contemporary and sensual scent with a velvety aura.
Why the Panthère? Because she is the symbol and source of inspiration for Cartier, a creative signature for the Maison since her first sighting on a watch with spotted motifs in 1914. Under the impetus of Jeanne Toussaint, it marked the beginning of a profound connection between Cartier and the panther. An eccentric, emancipated visionary, in 1948 she fleshed out the creature in three dimensions.
In the 1980s, it inspired the first Cartier perfume which perfectly captured the period. A perfume born from a fresh flower, this was the vision of Mathilde Laurent, who chose a gardenia, a flower with a pure, crystalline and carnal scent.
The latest edition is a beautiful celebration of the brand’s history in the fragrance market. La Panthère perfume is available in 75ml and 25ml.
