Finally a Chypre that matches my skin!

A chypre without oakmoss seemed the perfect chypre for me and that's why I bought this after sampling.
I always wanted to love chypres for their sharp, green and zesty qualities, but the oakmoss in many of them always spoils it for me because on my skin oakmoss just won't behave :-). It always turns out as a very bitter, unpleasant, musty and very dirty note. Even the most 'friendly' ones like Jean-Louis Scherrer Eau de Toilette have that effect on me unfortunately.
So a chypre without oakmoss would be the solution, I thought. And I was right!
I can understand why the real diehard chypre fans find the panther in this scent too 'tame' and maybe find the perfume 'not the real chypre as they know it', but for me this is just perfect! It has that green, zesty, almost ozonic vibe of a chypre, very airy and fresh, but without anything dirty.
I don't get pineapple, rose, Jasmine or pear in a way I can detect them as separate notes, but I certainly get Lily of the Valley, even in the way I smell that in Diorissimo, but in that one, I find the Lily of the Valley too outspoken. Here it is balanced out by those other notes apparently, lifting the Lily of the Valley to a higher, more airy- and green level, instead of performing just as being 'soapy' or 'aldehydic'.
Perfect for spring and summer because it is so fresh, almost cooling, but with still the scent profile of a chypre.
Very happy with my purchase!

Sexy panther or mischievous kitty?

I tested today this eau de toilette by Cartier and while I was spraying the scent on the mouillette and on my skin I was imagining a sexy and warm jus , maybe thinking about a black panther, symbol of wild feminity and seduction.
But it wasn't so. I found this eau quite fresh-flowery with a little powdery touch , a typical springtime scent.
First of all I smelled a smooth gardenia note, then the musky notes arrived, but very pale and soft.
Looking at the pyramid right now, I have a confirmation of this quite poor accord , although well balanced.
I could say that instead of a panther this eau is a sweet and mischievious kitty , because there isn't any sexy note and the sillage too is quite weak in comparison to the other precious creations by the Maison Cartier .
The bottle is a precious sculpture and it's very particular: a multifaceted panther face, icon of the famous jewelry brand. Maybe a little "over the top"for my tastes.
So, I'm a little disappointed thinking about the high price of this perfume: if you're searching for a precious object to show, this one is perfect , but if you want to feel a sexy panther, forget this light scent and look for other creations of the same maison, such as "Must" or " Le baiser du dragon", or , at least, try the eau de parfum version, more concentrated and a little warmer and "wild".

Easy going classic

Wearing La Panthère EDT is being classy and somehow a bit "old school" without smelling dated. It's fresh and floral. Primarily I smell a floral musk but when I put my nose on my skin, I can definitively smell white flowers. There is something almost slightly fruity too, but in a floral way, something like osmanthus. Between the EDT and the EDP, I prefer the EDT, more easy-going and bright. Beware though, it definitively has a strong chypre DNA, so thoose who don't want to smell too "classic", may not like it.

Floral and delicate

First of all: This Panthère EdT is the only Panthère, which I have met so far, I also do not know the original fragrance. I have also not read any descriptions before. Based on the associations to the name, I have rather expected something impressive, powerful. All the greater the surprise when I then tested it and started my day with it:

The fragrance starts floral-fresh, not a bit scratchy or unruly, rather light and happy. He has a very nice note, which is also well perceivable for myself, very clean and pleasant. Thus, it remains unchanged for several hours, so I'm already wondering how the child got his name and when then the predator will emerge. After a few hours, a very light, powdery warmth and sweetness develops, but very much in the background. The fresh flowers are still very present.

It is already a special fragrance, which for me has a very fine, light note. The flowers dominate, musk and sandalwood keep very covered, the fresh floral scent predominates. After about 7 hours, he has unfortunately said goodbye, too bad, it is only a light touch perceptible.

I associate with it no lush sea of flowers, rather a walk in the park between planted flower beds or a lunch break on a park bench, surrounded by a light floral scent, perhaps in early summer on a beautiful sunny day. Its wearer I imagine natural, open and rather legère.

The panther I have not discovered, rather a tame kitten enjoying the warm rays of the sun, purring softly.

For me, a nice, pleasant companion in the warm season, quite for every day, not suitable for the grand entrance. He could move in one day as a permanent guest with me, but then would first have to free a room ....

Cat in laundry basket

On velvet paws the cat dances through the hallway. The day is just beginning and the furry diva is looking for a place to rest. When she arrives in the laundry room, she promptly lies down in the laundry basket with freshly put together laundry. Your personal assistant (perfectly trained, she opens various doors and food cans). The cat's fur is scratched whenever it is needed and is also available for all other lower services) was so good and has specially forgotten the basket.
While the soft fur-tiger turns several times purring around the own axis. (The best place must first be found) the smell molecules of the laundry blow up.
Finally the animal plops into a hollow, starts to walk the laundry and cooes rhythmically into sleep
The scent:
So reminds me of this picture. Small cat, more pet than predator, but still quite dangerous (according to Forsa survey of 20000 birds, lizards and mice). Is the cat next to the Harder and the Fox the most feared predator in the area)
Elegant and quite self-confident being, lies mercifully with Madame in the basket and is simply only she herself. (Mal quite honestly. Who has cats knows how majestic and independent these unique creatures are)

The fragrance begins tame. With the scent of freshly washed flowers. I have the impression that there was some fruit in it, but I don't know which one. The fragrance becomes sweet and creamy quite quickly. Although with me the sandal seems quite strong. But I don't mind, so he can come quietly. Warm and soft, the fragrance purrs around the wearer and makes her special.

If it's true, there's no more scent, but the scent is still beautiful. Powdery, creamy, fresh flowery, slightly obstig juicy sweet.
Sillage rather gentle. (I only say purring velvet paw)
But the shelf life for an EDT at 5 hours is quite good.
Something fine for the sunny season. And the bottle is a feast for the eyes

Conclusion:
A fragrance for soft, sweet and creamy hours. Not overloaded, but simple and linear. A fragrance for calm, quiet and purring moments of happiness. With a good book or red wine with good Swiss cheese and a good conversation partner at your side.
Fine fragrance, for subtle people
