Cartier La Panthère Eau de Toilette 100ml is the lighter, fresher 2018 interpretation of the brand's iconic La Panthère franchise — a luminous floral-chypre composed by Mathilde Laurent, Cartier's in-house perfumer. Grapefruit and bergamot open the bottle on a bright lift, gardenia, jasmine and rose shape an opulent floral heart with green-and-fruit accents, and a base of musk, patchouli, leather and sandalwood gives it the unmistakable Panthère character.

The story behind La Panthère Eau de Toilette
The original La Panthère Eau de Parfum (2014) was conceived as the modern interpretation of the classical chypre — gardenia and animalic musks anchoring an unapologetically grown-up femininity. The 2018 Eau de Toilette extends that signature into a brighter, more daytime-appropriate territory, adding fruit and green notes to the heart and lightening the base. The bottle keeps the iconic faceted glass with the panther's silhouette in the cap.
Who it's for
Best for women who love the original La Panthère and want a fresher chapter for daytime and warm-weather wear, and for fans of modern floral chypres in the vein of Chanel No. 19, Frédéric Malle Lipstick Rose or Hermès 24 Faubourg. The leather-and-sandalwood drydown gives it elegant character and good staying power; the grapefruit-and-pear opening keeps it appropriate for office and warm-weather travel.
How to wear it
Spray onto pulse points — wrists, behind the ears, the base of the throat — from around 15 cm away. As an Eau de Toilette, expect moderate projection in the first hour and a soft, polished floral skin scent for six to eight hours total.
