La Panthere Eau de Parfum Edition Limitee

Classic yet modern, old yet modern, agresive yet subtle, masculine yet pure femme skin smell. The parfume has a distinctive presence, as a panthere, you cannot see it, but you know she is there and looks at you. This reminds me of natural skin smell of my mother.

I apologize if my review does not match the correct page. I searched for the correct perfume on Fragrantica, but I am new to this series and was confused as to whether the one I am reviewing is the one on this page. My sample does not say EDP "Limited Edition" and only says La Panthere EDP, but it was not listed as an option here on Fragrantica. As soon as I sprayed this, It took me back to something from my teen years, but I couldn't pinpoint it. Alas! It was being dropped off to campus early and walking around school and smelling Salon Selectives shampoo from wet hair-dos after our morning shower. Sometimes, I would shampoo with it too. I remember washing my hair with it on my first day of sophomore year with my new perm and dark orange sweater; it had an apple scent and I sprayed it hoping my curls would retain that "wet look" that was "in" those days. They also had a wet gel that we would all spray on and all the bathrooms gave off that scent as everyone would stand in front of the mirror during snack time. The opening gives me that high note in perfumery where I am lifted up slightly into the air.

It is fruity and sweet but as the other reviewer said it is soapy. I find this mixture of notes strong overpowering honesty.

The notes listed don't align with the fragrance in my bottle. This perfume comes across as a green, almost soapy, chypre. There's no fruitiness or sweetness. This is a fabulous office scent - in fact, it's one of the best professional perfumes. It's lovely, distinctive and assured. There's not a sugary note and there's nothing juvenile or girlish. It's pure, cool, self-assured green and chypre.

I think someone mixed up the titles of these two new limited edition version's of La Panthere.. The image of the bottle above shows the "Cartier La Panthere Eau de Parfum Legere Edition Limitee" not the regular La Panthere Eau de Parfum Edition Limitee.. One is the regular La Panthere & one is the Legere edition..
