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 floral-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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its clean, soapy character makes it suitable for casual and everyday wear, even the office, if applied lightly. However, its strong projection and distinctive vintage profile might be too much for intimate dates or very formal occasions.

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.
