Taylor of London Panache is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1979. Panache opens with Lemon, Orange, Coriander, and Thyme, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Myrrh. Taylor of London's Panache carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Panache is a proper retro banger, a clean, soapy floral aldehyde that divides opinion. Some love its vintage charm and incredible value, seeing it as a dead ringer for pricier classics like Rive Gauche. Others find it dated, fusty, and a bit too synthetic. If you're into that classic 70s vibe, it's a nostalgic trip worth taking, especially for the price.

About

It opens with a zesty, aromatic hit of lemon and thyme, swiftly followed by a bouquet of rose, iris, and jasmine. As it settles, a clean, powdery softness emerges, underpinned by earthy oakmoss, warm sandalwood, and a hint of musky myrrh. The overall effect is a surprisingly robust, classic floral aldehyde that clings to the skin with impressive staying power.
