English Lavender Yardley for women

A nice and very English Lavender scent. Not the smell of pure, crushed lavender, but a balanced mix of lavender and bergamot, followed by a shy geranium and a hint of musk and cedar in the dry down.
I like spraying a whiff on my pillow to sleep on (lavender is soothing and relaxing). Alternatively one could spray it on before bedtime and feel the relaxing lavender effects. I also like to spray it on my 'fancy' handkerchiefs. The pretty, lace ones that I take in my clutch to special occasions like the opera etc. I like the soap & body-wash too. Great relaxing scent with a nostalgic feel.

I like the EdT. I would describe it as beautiful, crisp, no-brainer lavender. The body wash is very nice as well.

I love this fragrance and wear it daily. I, too, at first thought it was rather light and didn't last long; I had to keep spritzing. It then occured to me one day it wasn't meant to be a strong fragrance. It was never meant to draw attention when a lady as walked into a room and everyone could smell her or tell she was there. If you think England, place of orgin, 1913 launched. I just don't see that it was meant to be heavy and heady. It was/is a "just enough lady like" fragrance.
I think who did go to the length of a perfume that would stand out in a grand way was Chanel. The launching of Chanel No 5 in 1921 came in three concentrations. It was/is so elegant and so different then those little oils ladies dabbed on behind the ears on the wrist that even today women, including myself, make it my "number one go to" fragrance. I am not saying it's loud or strong, but baby you get noticed and in a really nice way!

Fresh and stingy lavender at the beginning, very natural and "real" one. After fev minutes turns into gentle eucalyptus melt with previous note, it lasts also few minutes(and my wrist start to feel little freezing- maybe becouse of essential oils of eucalyptus) then calms down while shy cedar looks behind of mentioned couple. Whole composition settles down as a dusty, bitter and dry whiff of nature world, which makes me little nostaligic...but i like this impression :)

I recommended this to a friend who loves the scent of lavender, having had good luck with Yardley's English Rose. She bought the bottle and thankfully was extremely pleased with it. She liked it on first spray, thinking it a very pure lavender but liked that as it faded it became a little softer and creamier, due to the Tonka base I assume. Someone had said in a review that Yardley are excellent at making the most basic floral notes into wonderful perfumes and having tried English Lavender, English Rose and Lily of the valley I would have to agree.

Smells wonderful and very natural. It does not smell masculine to me. I love lavender and that is all this smells like. I would highly recommend. I have not had it on long enough to judge the longevity. The sillage appears to be average. I intend to couple this with lavender lotion and powder.

The longevity is poor on skin. It doesn't hold on fabric much better. I will probably put a small amount of EDT with lotion and powder on my skin and additional EDT on my clothing. I just love the natural lavender scent.

P.S. I tried spraying this on my sheets along with Lavender powder. Guess what, it took no time at all for both to disappear. I don't know why Lavender is so hard to hold.

Close to zero lasting power, but good silage while it lasts ( very short). Smells very very natural, just like you would rub between your hands a bunch of blooming lavander from the garden; same crispiness and woodiness; very similar to lavander essential oil; I suppose I will keep mine to scent my beddings, because I found it refreshing , relaxing, and natural smelling. Considering I paid $15+tax for a 50ml bottle at Shoppers Drug Mart, I guess it was a decent buy.

YEL is a clear, crisp lavender scent, probably one of the closest to the real thing that is easily accessible...with absolutely no staying power. MUST be layered with soap, lotion and powder to work for me, which means I rarely wear it.

A year ago i was mad about lavender. It is very special, clean and reminiscent of something from my childhood.

I'm too emotionally caught up in YEL to know if I like it for itself or not. Funny what a fragrance can do to your memory, eh? When I spray it I can remember my mother vividly for a moment...then she's gone again.

The two quaint figures on the packaging haven't changed in all my years, the woman and child. I think I'll boost them, make a tiny frame for them and hang them on the wall of the dollhouse I'm building.

that s the finest perfum that i ve ever tried in my life but, the 1 million de Paco Rabanne, go ahead and talk for you first.

My mother introduced me to the finer scents of the world in 1962 with a bottle of this classic cologn with a bar of soap & lotion? I've layered from then on... hehe ;) Juli ;)

The English Lavendar deodrant is heavenly. I was using it, fell in love with the way in which it's fragrant and long lasting yet not overpowering. Buoyed by the deo, I went ahead and bought the perfume. Funnily, it did'nt smell anything like the deo!Sadly, it was a total let-down. Not long lasting either (which is a relief 'cos I wouldn't want something smelling so bad to be long lasting!). Some detergents smell better.

The scent of lavender bags & scented drawer sachets......soapy, musty, dry & powdery lavender.

I prefer a bit of a juicier, green & stripping lavender (like the scent of the essential oil) but this is pleasant enough. Not sure I want to smell like the inside of the drawer, day to day, though....

Edit: the lavender body spray is divine! Reminiscent of the lavender found in Jicky.

Old fashioned but still likeable.
When there is snow outside and the cold
weather is upon us, nice to smell on your skin. truly relaxing and soothing.

My mother gave me this because I asked for a clear, single-flower scent. It's what I keep in my drawer at work. Strong, not especially feminine, businesslike. Oh, yes, and smells like lavender!!!

Well, I don't think this is a female scent, but unissex.
It is strong and a little bit dry.
I don't feel the rose notes, but the lavender, the sandal and the tonka bean.
Good fragrance, gives me the idea of a longlasting bath.

My mother used this during years... its fresh, powdery with a clear bit of rosemary.
For me its a classic scent...
Not its something big amazing... but its comfortable, appeasing and fresh.
Regularly, Im feel unsuspecting about Yardley's fragrances, because are similar to buy natural extracts. A traditional brand :)

lovely lavender & floral scent

Very fresh...I try the english rose too...and Lily of the valley. One spring morning in a english garden with the sun and the light cold breeze smell like this fragance.
