La Panthere Legere

Cartier la panther is in my wishlist for a long time.I used a sample of it and loved it.I see it as a modern classic,a sophisticated,unique,soft,elegant,charming scent.a perfume that has dignity and personality.when I saw la panther legere in a sale I didn't hesitate to but it.actually I like fruity strawberry rhubarb undertone of original la panther but omitting them and adding tiara and aldehydes seems like a more mature version(though original la panther is already mature).I received legere version last week and it was a huge dissapointment for me.it was veryyy weak,unbelievably faint on me! Just when I glued my nose to my skin I could barely smell something like a flat shadow of original la panther.only things that I can pickup is something like a white floral and something like a soapy musk. Last night I decided to give it another chance and wow,I'm in love head to heels.I don't know why I was nose blinded at my first test(it had happened for me couple of other times too,it scares me like a nightmare)but this time it's anything but weak As soon as I sprayed it,a heavenly scent started to waft strongly and even after hours I could easily smell it,still blooming softly but noticably I don't know what to write about it's developement process.I can feel all the notes listed but they act as a whole unit and none of them overpowers the others Gardenia and tiare?yes,definitely. But gardenia don't the useal heady flower who tries to mimic tuberose and tiare isn't trying hard to seem beachy.they appear in their softest form to produce a soft creamy (not fat or buttery)silky white floral accord... Musk?yes,absolutely.this is a musky scent and it has a lovely musk which is clean but not overly syntethic sharp and cheap white musk.not an oily animalic one either.it's clean and powdery,also alive.it reminds me musk in narciso rodriguez narciso edp(also similar gardenia) but I love carthier le panthere legere more...fruity notes?I can't detect them though I believe they have an important balancing role,giving the scent a fresh and crisp quality and preventing it from becoming overly dry.aldehydes?yes,this is a soapy scent but in the best way possible.it's not a sharp,cold,chemical soap.they did it just so right...moss?it's what gives the scent a classic chyper vibe.a soft earthy,powdery layer that makes it so different from what we usually see nowadays...leather?well,not really.at least not a strong one so if you're not into leathery scents don't freak out.it's not a dirty,animalic or a rough,rubbery leather.think of it as a soft touch of suede which wrappes musky florals and warms up the scent and give it more sophistication and elegance Well,I'm so impressed that I can't stop talking about this work of art.I was looking for a clean,soapy floral fragrance for my spring and it's all I wanted and even more.it has a lot in common with original la panthere,still there are enough differences to justify having both of them.I can't say which one I prefer because I can't remember la panthere with all it's details It has good projection for first two hours and I can catch wiffs of it with every move,then it calms down and gradualy turns to a lovely skinscent and lasts like that for another 6,7 hours I think it would be great for spring,but all in all it's wearable yrar round perhaps except cold winter nights Now I'm very glad to have and although I plan of buying original la panthere and it's new flanker,soir,I may consider repurchase legere one when I'm done with this bottle Highly recommended if you want a classy clean scent,easy to wear and unique at the same time ❤❤❤❤❤

After the release of the traditional version in March 2014, followed by the version in extract concentration, in August 2014 (which did not come to Brazil, since the resale price would be too high and the investment would be lost), Cartier launched this brighter version, in February 2015, called La Panthère Légère. The concept was to maintain the same quality of the previous version, in a fragrance with more lightness, ideal for daytime use, as well as on warm evenings. It was built on the same main accords from before, which means gardenia and musk. However, this time, received a more special touch: the Tiare flower, as it is called the Tahitian gardenia. The In-house perfumer considers it a solar-floral fragrance. Its composition brings green and dried fruit notes, in the output. Then, in the heart, we have the most common gardenia (gardenia jasminoides) along with the Tiare flower (gardenia Tahitensis). In the base, oakmoss and white musk. La Panthère Légère is a beautiful flanker because managed to keep the DNA from the previous version, but with its own personality. And the result is a fragrance of greenest nuances, when it reaches the skin, transmitting more brightness. Then, the heart is much more floral than before, with more creamy and vanilla nuances, that brighten and give a tan to the woman’s skin, as it happens when using the Monoi oil (obtained by maceration of the Tiare flowers in coconut oil, in mild temperature). Although it is also an Eau de Parfum, if compared to the fragrance of La Panthère, it presented better projection, as well as greater durability on my skin. About the bottle, Cartier managed to overcome itself. If previously was beautiful enough, now it became even more impressive. No wonder that in the event for the release of this perfume, the company stated that the technology used was patented and that among all its precious stones, this is the most stoning. In La Panthère Légère, the feline soul – trapped before – was set free. The Panther is loose!

I first smelled this perfume last week, when visiting my grandmother. She still had a full bottle that she once received from a friend. I loved the combination of sweet, yet still classy with some fresh notes in there - I've always been into sweet perfumes as these always smell best on me, but have been looking for a more ''classy'' perfume lately. However, perfumes such as Chanel N5 just don't go well with my body chemistry. This one, however, blended in very well with my skin. It's not too sweet (like other perfumes I wear such as Si by Armani, and La Nuit by Tresor), yet also not too...''classy''. Today I went to the store and sprayed a little on a paper. It didn't smell good at all and I was confused as to why I liked this perfume so much last week. Turns out this is really one of those perfumes that will only smell good on certain people, depending on your body chemistry. I ended up spraying a little on my wrist again later on - strong opening, I didn't like it - but after a few minutes the sweet notes appeared again in combination, with the fresher notes. Decided to buy it, and 8 hours later I can still smell it :) All in all, it's a good and long lasting perfume, but it's not for everyone.

omg it was so hard to decide wich one I take home! this one legere or the original, uff I was at Sephora yesterday, I put one in my wrist , and th other original in my other wrist, im smelling this one and te other for 2 hours I even ask strangers for the opinion ,, jajaj I was hilarious !! ok I buy the original la panthere... I was happy I made right choice naaaa,,, I went back to Sephora 10 min later and exchange for legere.. ladies was like haaa!! ok first impression of la panthere was strong, sexy, I like, then for la panthere legere was sexy also strong and illuminated note, like less rought more fresh ..less dark, is like alien radiance but la panthere own radiance!! I been wanting this perfume for months,,, since last febuary I went to Sephora and ask the sales lady what she was wearing , you can guess her answer! I never had such a struagle with any perfume before,,,,, but I love it ... it is sexy , sophisticated, animal,,,,,,,,,,,, wujuuuuu... for those days you want to loose your inner animal!!grrrrr

Mmmm. I own La Panthere, and I find this to be an improvement. It's a touch less formal, and wears more easily, more gently, than La Panthere. Somehow, La Panthere seems to intensify over time before it finally dies down, and sometimes gives me a headache. I acquired this in the summer, and had high hopes that it would wear well in warm weather. It wears fine, and I think it would work well in cooler weather, too. In an attempt to "summer" this up a little further, I layered it with a simple coconut fragrance (I had Zuma by Yosh on hand, but there are plenty of others). Nothing too strong. I didn't want to smell like straight-up suntan lotion. It smells gorgeous! I was aiming for an effect along the lines of Guerlain's Terracotta, a blend of white flowers, coconut, and vanilla, with the flowers being the dominant note. It was a more successful experiment than I thought it would be. Come fall, I'll go back to wearing it solo, but it was fun to beach up this beauty for a little mental vacation.

Very good stuff here. I admit I’m a sucker for oakmoss and it is the star here. All of the fruit and flowery notes bounce off the oakmoss making for a very complex, rich and interesting experience. The leather adds to this effect too, but it is very tame next to the moss. I also get a spicy vibe and for the life of me I do not know where it comes from. Maybe the rose is spicy or the musk is giving off it off. Either way I love this. As others have mentioned this is old school and can have easy been released in the 80s next to Boucheron, Ysatis, JOOP! And Poison. What sets this apart tho is the oakmoss/leather soapiness which pushes this into masculine territory so I have no problems pulling this off. Couple this with the fact you can find a bottle on line in the $40 range makes this a win-win (and a flat out steal considering the quality of this juice). Although I only have the Legere edition I have no interest in the original if less oakmoss involved. Long story short: big thumbs up.

I received this as a gift years ago and didn't appreciate it at all! I was in my mid 20s and at the time saw it as a soapy, weak scent. I would always sniff it and contemplate selling it on for easy cash. I'm SO happy I kept it! I'm 31 now and I love it. It's soft, floral, and powdery. Every thing I love in a perfume. It's womanly without being too mature or aged. It's like sticking my nose in a bouquet of flowers dusted with baby powder. Beautiful and sophisticated. It gives me something different everytime I smell it too. Sometimes it's really leathery and musky, other times powdery and soft, or fruity and tart, or syrupy, honeyed florals. It's amazing.

Soapy oakmoss, fairly-crisp-for-a-gardenia gardenia, lots of white musk and a smidge of fruit in the the top. Clean and bright with that warm-yet-biting Cartier base. Performance is pretty great. Soft sillage & lasts about 8 hours. I like this lightly sprayed in warm weather, anything more & it can get cloying. The original Panthere is bolder and creamier, and the oakmoss has a bit more of a punch. I keep thinking I should have purchased that one instead. This one has its place—I chose it pretty often lately. I’m excited about trying it once summer really kicks in.

This is stunning! Elegance in a bottle. It feels classy and timeless at the same time modern and up to date. Very feminine without being sweet. Legere is a lighter version of the original with adding of Tiare flower to bring some brightness and an exotic touch. The opening is basically aldehydes, but that goes fast. Right after it gets creamy and floral with some touches of woody and citrusy notes. If you are a chipre lover that’s your gem. I fell head over hills for this fragrance and to me is a must-have on any frag lover collection ❤️

Beautiful, powerful, mysterious and very oriental. Not for everyone, you really have to like oriental perfumes. It has a vintage style that I adore and I really appreciate,since all the NEW perfumes are...blah :( This remains true to the spirit of panthere ,opium etc. This could replace to my heart the old opium. Congratulations to the team WHO worked for this, some other teams could understand what means to rename a legend and still create your own legend. Anyone offering to swap it, I would be glad to discuss their offer!

Mathilde Laurent caught my heart. Guet Apens and now La Panthere Legere..... Everything that made La Panthere EDP too strong for me had been muted down without loosing the superb grown-up lady from Paris caracter. I don't feel it beeing a wild cat, or a sexual beast. Instead, I think it is a classical, sophisticated, FRENCH parfume, a modern version of the wondrous, multiple, uplifted old-school parfumery. A gem amoung the shoddies (candy-sweet, boreing trendy scents). Hurray!!!!!

Because I love leopards I finally decided to buy the set: 50ml Cartier La Pantere EDP Lagere and 100ml Cartier La Pantere Body Lotion. Panthera is the first Latin word for wild big cats, leopards are the smallest among them. Leopards are very graceful and to me there's a fascinating feminine graceful image about a peaceful leopard. This way I got both fragrances! I love it! Very elegant and sophisticated high quality fragrance. And the bottle is very unique.

This is the one for me! You just know and you cannot explain why, just like when looking into the eyes of the one that makes your knees go weak. You just know! When I am wearing this I feel like I can conquer the world. Irresistable, elegant, powerful perfume, with more luminosity than La Panthere, the type that imprints the memory of you into the minds of those that pass by you when you are wearing it.

This reminds me of Chanel's NO 5 l'eau and shares a similar note in terms of adehydic scent. When first sprayed it's bitter, sharp, powdery, and very synthetic. It does smell rich and sophisticated, quite mature and like old money. It reminds me of cashmere, high turtlenecks, and high end department stores. Dries down more soapy but still has the sharp powdery aldehydic note.

Wow Cartier. & thank you Mathilde Laurent I feel rich, luxurious, feminine and pretty! What an elegant white floral scent. Lastability on me was not as long as I would have liked (others have better results) and sillage close to the skin. With many other fragrance loves in the $300 to $400 range this beautiful crystal bottle at $140ish --- so worth it!

I got a sample of this from a fellow Fragrantican and I love it! It’s mature and feminine without being too vampy and overdone. Everything is blended together in a wonderful sweet and powdery, yet mildly musky mix that grabs your attention without being too obnoxious. Trying this out makes me want to try the original EDP even more.

Chanel Coco!! I sprayed Coco on my arm one night to go to bed, and woke up confused at myself, thinking I'd sprayed this instead the previous night. Turns out that aside from the powdery opening, La Panthere Legere smells exactly like the extreme drydown of Coco on me: peachy, honeyed dried fruit with a shadow of florals.

Simply adore this one! I discovered it recently while making yet another approach to the first La Panthere. Legere is more delicate, fresher and luminous. But still very elegant and sophisticated, perfect office scent in my opinion.

Не е лесен, трябва да си намери човека:) красив, дълготраен... Избрах го пред оригиналната пантера, защото е по-съвременен, жив, аромат на чиста и мнооого гримирана жена:) пудрен шипър. Може да се носи във всеки сезон

днес без да искам направих комбинация от него и orchid powder montale, в резултат на което получих страхотно подобие на ситизен куин, много яко
