Scent Of A Woman

CARTIER

Much has been said about the Panthère. Its first sighting on a watch in 1914, its design evolution from the abstract to the figurative, its rebirth in three-dimensional form at the hands of tastemaker Jeanne Toussaint-everything has been well documented. Its influence has spread across a multitude of Cartier jewellery, timepieces and, beginning from 2014, fragrances.

Formulated by Cartier's perfumer Mathilde Laurent, the La Panthère fragrance pays tribute to the emblematic animal of the brand most notably through its faceted flacon. Carved from the inside with a head sculpted at a right angle, a square jaw and a bevelled eye, the bottle reflects the panther, its sensual femininity and its hypnotic signature in the most discernible manner.

Laurent follows the creation of the striking vessel with a fierce concoction that combines a flower and a sensation. Believing that every woman is born with a feline streak and that every flower has animal notes hidden within, she expresses femininity through the sensual yet delicate gardenia and adds a wild touch to the scent with a soft, velvety musk.
