Is this the original version of Panda?+−
No, this is the 2017 re-release composed by perfumer Christian Carbonnel. It is significantly different from the 2014 original, leaning more into a fruity, green, and earthy profile compared to its predecessor.
How long does the fragrance last?+−
Panda is known for its impressive longevity, especially for a scent categorized as green and fruity. Many users report it remaining detectable on the skin for over twelve hours.
Is this fragrance suitable for the office?+−
While it is a daily-wear scent, it is distinctively "earthy" and "animalic." Because it can be polarizing, it is best applied with a light hand for professional environments, though many find its fresh tea and bamboo notes to be quite calming.
How prominent are the animalic notes in Panda?+−
The civet and musk are present but used to create a playful "wild" texture rather than a harsh or "dirty" smell. They provide a fuzzy, warm backdrop to the sharp green and fruity top notes.
