In 1948, Jeanne Toussaint, Artistic Director for Cartier, designed a proud and powerful three-dimensional panther on an emerald brooch, which would later become one of the most evo cative jewelry pieces of the 20th century. In 2014, Mathilde Laurent drew inspiration from this heritage to create La Panthère, a chypre fragrance that evokes Jeanne Toussaint. She designed a sensual, controlled fragrance, with a bold floral-feline accord. Gardenia, the emblematic flower of Jeanne Toussaint's era, illuminates this daring composition, uniting the Maison’s emblem with the legend of the scented panther. “Every woman has a feline aspect and every flower has a hidden animal essence.”- Mathilde Laurent Perfumer(s): Mathilde Laurent Notes: dried fruit, rhubarb, strawberry, anise, bergamot, gardenia, rose, ylang-ylang, pear, orange blossom, oakmoss, musk, patchouli, leather Show more
