Yardley

English Rose

Was delighted to receive this haul after The Victorian Party.

My roots aren't England, but I was born here so I suppose I am an English Rose by birth.

Where I grew up still had design left from Victorian Times so I found myself in Victorian Times.

I obviously don't have a Victorian dress and don't want one, so I found a pretty feminine floral dress to wear.

This perfume is really me as it is soft and feminine.

I also love the bottle and packaging design; it would look lovely on a shabby chic dressing table if your an old fashioned romatic type of woman like me.

The fragrance isn't strong or long lasting, but it doesn't cost a lot so you can afford to keep topping it up.

Great if you don't like to overpower people in the daytime.

I don't care either way as I'm a perfume junky.

The packaging design is also really pretty.

Didn't think I'd ever get this even though the garden centre round the corner from me used to sell it and the chemist in the local village used to sell it, maybe the chemist harked back to Victorian times and sold it since then until it shut down in covid.

Seems more important now it is so hard to aquire.

Coast

I think this is a fairly newer edition to Yardley but not sure.

The fragrance is Yardley anyway.

I think it must be the fragrance of flowers on the English coastline.

It is therefore an obvious choice if you are going for a cliff walk by the English sea side.

I will take this with me and wear it if I ever go for a cliff walk by the sea again ~ got our favourite walks like most people.

If I wore this dress would obviously wear more suitable walking attire.

Think it would be fairer on other people to smell this subtle fragrance whilst out on their walk.

Have to say I'm not a fan of people who wear strong fragrances when they go for a walk in the countryside or sea side.

One of our local seaside towns is really Victorian so will hopefully wear this to go there one day.

Conclusion

Hope you like this air hostess addition.

Quite quaint so maybe not for everyone.

I love them, love flowers, especially roses and feminine fragrances.

They are great value if you are one of the women moaning about perfume prices.

I'm quite tight harking back to the Victorian principles still around in my town, but not bothered about perfume prices as perfume is one luxury I have always had.

Hope you are enjoying Perfume Junky and have had some hauls from it too.

Enjoy
