What does La Panthère Parfum smell like?

The notes read as one whole rather than in stages: osmanthus and gardenia give a floral body, and apricot adds a soft fruitiness. It is sweet and powdery, with spicy and oriental touches adding warmth, while the chypre accord holds the structure together and musk stays in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also suits daily wear. Voters see it as feminine and classic. Cartier La Panthère Édition Soir and Serge Lutens Rose de Nuit have a close profile.
