Taylor of London White Satin Parfum de Toilette 100ml is a softly powdery floral classic from one of Britain's longest-running perfume houses. Bergamot and grapefruit lift the opening with a clean citrus sparkle, leading into a generous floral heart of rose, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, tuberose, geranium, violet and cherry blossom. Amber, cedar, patchouli and vanilla anchor the base in warm, gentle woodiness. White Satin is the kind of fragrance that has stayed in continuous wardrobes across generations — feminine, polite, and reassuring rather than statement-making.

About Taylor of London
Taylor of London traces its origins to 1887 in England, and is part of the Milton-Lloyd portfolio of British fragrance houses. The line — including White Satin alongside Panache, Tweed, Chique and Lace — is known for accessible, classically composed women's perfumery. White Satin sits at the centre of that range, frequently chosen as a thoughtful, recognisable gift for friends and relatives who already know and trust the brand.
Who it's for
White Satin suits women who prefer soft, traditional florals — gentle, powdery, and unobtrusive rather than modern or sharp. It's an everyday wear, equally appropriate for the office, daytime visits, and quiet evenings at home. The Parfum de Toilette concentration sits between an Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum, so it offers more presence than a typical EDT without becoming heavy. A natural choice as a gift for mothers, grandmothers and long-time fans of the Taylor of London line.
How to wear it
- Hold the bottle around 15 cm from the skin and spray onto pulse points — wrists, the side of the neck, and the inner elbows.
- For a softer, more diffuse halo, mist once into the air and walk through it.
- Re-apply lightly in the early evening if you'd like the floral character to carry through into a longer day.

Frequently asked questions
What is Parfum de Toilette, exactly?
Parfum de Toilette is a concentration that historically sat between Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum — typically around 10–15% perfume oil. In practice, expect more lasting power than a regular EDT and slightly less projection than an EDP.
How long does White Satin last on the skin?
Typical longevity is 4–6 hours on skin, with longer presence on clothing and hair. The amber-cedar-vanilla base anchors the fragrance and gives it good staying power for a soft floral.
Is it suitable as a gift?
Yes — White Satin is one of the line's most popular gift fragrances, particularly for older women already familiar with the Taylor of London range. The classic floral character is unlikely to surprise or overwhelm, which is exactly the point.
