The fragrance was inspired by the history of Cartier, who have long had a history with a Panther symbol and had previously released a perfume called Panthère back in 1986. In the top notes of the fragrance are notes of Dried Fruits, Rhubarb, Big Strawberry, Anise and Bergamot; the heart of the fragrance contains notes of Gardenia, Rose, Ylang-Ylang, Orange Blossom and Pear; and base notes of Oakmoss, Musk, Leather and Patchouli. The fragrance is a sensual, powdery one, with gorgeous floral notes, including an excellent Gardenia note. This is best suited to the colder weather of Autumn and Winter.
