Fragrant Friday - Yardley London English Rose, English Lavender and Lily of the Valley

My apologies, this was meant to have gone live last Friday for Victoria Day weekend but there was a scheduling snafu so please enjoy, albeit a little late!

Yardley London, one of the world's leading purveyors of quality perfumes and bath and body products since 1770 with a succession of Royal Warrants was kind enough to send me a package so I could try out the collections in honour of Queen Victoria’s 200th birthday in 3 light and fresh smelling scents perfect for spring:

English Rose - a refreshing, light fresh floral with sparkling citrus and rose top notes blended with tea accord. Combining a complex floral heart of rose bud, magnolia, violet and cassis with warm woody notes, it’s enhanced with patchouli and musks, adding velvety tones to the base.

This was my favorite scent of the trio - I don't normally like rose scents but I really love this one, it has a freshness to it that makes it totally unlike an "old-lady" rose fragrance that I would usually reject!

English Lavender - a beautifully fresh, clean elegant fragrance combining bergamot and clary sage with a heart combining English Lavender, eucalyptus, geranium, jasmine, chamomile and violet, enhanced with deeper, warm notes of wood, vanilla and patchouli.

Lily of the Valley - a light, feminine white floral with fruit pear accords in the top note and a beautiful floral bouquet heart of lily accord blended with freesia and enhanced with a pretty, musky base.

With each scent available in:

Moisturising Fragrance Body Mist - 200ml - $12.99 - a long-lasting, quick-drying, non-staining light fragrance with a vegetable derived alcohol base and 97% naturally derived ingredients.

Luxury Body Wash - 200ml - $9.99 - helps maintain the skins natural moisture levels with a 85% naturally derived, paraben-free formula containing a nourishing blend of revitalizing rose water, moisturizing shea butter, evening primrose oil and monoi oil, rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidant vitamin E, it cleanses and hydrates the skin leaving it feeling soft, smooth and delicately fragranced.

Silky Smooth Body Lotion - 250ml - $9.99 - a light and easily absorbed paraben-free lotion made of 90% naturally derived ingredients that leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth and delicately fragranced.

This week I'm obsessed with... Hand Chemistry Hyaluronic Body Mist!

I don't know about you but on these super-hot days I've been known to skip body moisturizer altogether because it just ends up feeling so heavy and sticky - like it's sitting on top of my skin and clogging all my pores... which is dumb because when it's this hot my poor, parched skin needs moisture more then ever so I was thrilled to discover: 

Hand Chemistry Hyaluronic Body Mist - 150ml - $20 - a light and refreshing mist that absorbs instantly and  hydrates below and on the surface of the skin with a low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid in a base of purified mushroom, tamarind and corn derivatives. The next-generation, non-aerosol continuous mist provides for easy body coverage to deliver immediate and longer-term hydration.
