My Grandmaother wore this fragrance and considered herself very extravagant to indulge in pefume so saved it for special occasions. She had lived though 2 world wars and died back in 1994 and still saved bits of soap to use! Smelling this fragance again was a must for me as,now in my 50s I have an overwhelming need for a sense of nostalgia. I was thrilled o find it on ebay at a cheap price and even more delighted when I sptitzed myself with it! There was my grandmother! But not as an old lady, as a glamourous woman with her hair done her matching bag and shoes and red lipstick.
I love the old Rive Gauche and have been so disappointed by it’s current formulation. To me Pananche has an air of the old RG but slightly sweeter. Sadly, it disappears after 2-3 hrs but at the price I paid, reapplying is a no brainer. I am considering layering it with Eau de Rochas and seeing what that brings.

Charity shop bargain!! Found a glorious trio of White Satin, Panache and Chique – all by Taylor of London but called Spritzers. Am guessing that is a more refreshing formulation, perfect for travel to hot climates. OMG. This is my heaven for holiday travel!! Panache reminds me of my dear late Mum – its an era where Tweed-like and Avon classic fumes ruled. Gave a neighbour the White Satin, exquisite as it was. And have Chique for easy slightly boozy sunset evening. Ahhh. Taylor of London is great. I think I will hunt for the lentheric versions too – so good!!

I dont mind the odd cheap pharmacy frag, but this is awful, smells cheaper than price tag, like soap and alcohol

While this smells old-fashioned and dated I honestly don’t mind it. My teacher used to wear this and always smelled soapy and clean. To give you an idea it’s similar to Estee by Estee Lauder.

This scent has potential to work on many levels as it contains many notes which I love. But it is very synthetic on me and super aldehydic. It reminds me of blowing my nose into grandma’s freshly laundered handkerchief and clothes coming back from the drycleaners. Tweed has the same effect for me. I am always partial to the old-school fragrances and even the classically ‘granny’ type of scents but even this is too old and fusty for me.

I’m developing a bit of a soft spot for 1970’s / retro perfumes and I am so impressed by this one. I have the parfum de toilette version and it suits me that it may be more fleeting than the original Lentheric Panache because I like to change my perfumes during the day.
Panache is a vintage-style pick-me-up! It is a classic feminine floral with a powdery base. The top notes of realistic citrus notes combined with thyme are fresh and uplifting. Also present from the opening are the myrrh, sandalwood and oakmoss and the woody notes continue through the life of the fragrance.
If you enjoy scents that sit between aldehyde and chypre, or if you’re looking for something less sweet than many current offerings this makes a lovely day time, any occasion scent.

Thanks to ailishlu, I now own a little bottle of this beauty! She is so fresh and stimulating that I’m not surprised at the citrus. Fragrances containing citrus are frequently addictive to me in hot summer weather!
The reviewer who compared this to Rive Gauche is spot on. They are not identical, but if this were to be packaged as a dupe of Rive Gauche it would be completely believable!!
Either as a dupe or as Panache – this is a sharp and refreshing floral, well suited to hot climates and old fashioned tastes. I’m sold!

Smells like Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche

This is a great 1970s style aldehyde. It’s soapy and clean and smells a bit like talc. From my ancient memories, this is how lots of women smelled when I was growing up.
It’s slightly old fashioned, which I like, and smells like Sandalwood, Roses, Jasmine, Thyme and Myrhh. It’s floral and spicy and powdery, and really lovely. It’s cheap too.
I’d much rather smell this on people than ubiquitous fruity florals.

Since this is a blind buy and it wasn’t in the database when I decided to buy it, I didn’t know what to expect. That made my expectations higher than usual. I personally was not disappointed.
On my skin this starts out POW!dery 🙂 I sense flowers, rose and carnations, but the overwhelming scent is a lady’s boudoir. Not bad, since it’s very affordable. I do not get any citrus scent at all.
It lasts more than 10 hours and the drydown is pleasant, the sandalwood and oakmoss in e pleasant mix.
