Spring Floral Scents from Yardley

I've been keeping up the May Flowers theme with my nails all month, so why not extend the theme to fragrances too?!

I typically tend to wear light scents overall - I work in a scent free work place, so I've gotten used to light or no scents overall. Even though I like to keep things light, I do still like to experiment with scents!

I received these Yardley fragrances and thought the scents - Lily of the Valley, English Lavender and English Rose -all sounded like the perfect Spring scents! (And, of course, I was right! They are all lovely floral scents, that are still on the light side and smell great!)

Yardley Lily Of The Valley Eau De Toilette ~ $18.99 CAN. Yardley London’s Lily of the Valley is a light , feminine white floral fragrance with fruit pear accords in the top note and beautiful floral bouquet heart that blends lily of the valley and freesia, enhanced with a pretty, musky base.

I'm going to preface my descriptions - I'm not good at describing scents at all, but I will do my best (or at least, I will let their description speak for themselves and share my thoughts). This is probably my favourite scent of the three - it's a really fresh scent, that is floral without being super floral, and it's got a light musky base that balances it out. It's a beautiful scent and just smells very fresh!

Yardley English Rose Eau De Toilette ~ $18.99 CAN. Yardley London English Rose is a refreshing, light floral fragrance with sparkling citrus and rose top notes and a heart subtly combining rose bud, magnolia, violet and cassis with warm woody notes, whilst patchouli and musks, add velvety tones to the base.

This scent is pretty self explanatory - it's a very rose scent and you either like it or you don't! I would still call this scent on the light side, which is perfect for me. I do think this smells pretty and I like a rose scent - it's not something I would wear all the time, but I think for Spring, I would use a light spray of this and mix it with a sweeter scent. I plan on experimenting with this one as I think it's a really pretty base scent.

Yardley English Lavender Eau de Toilette ~ $18.99 CAN. Yardley London's international signature fragrance is a beautiful, elegant scent that combines lavender leaves, neroli and clary sage with a heart of lavender oil and geranium, enhanced with deeper notes of sandalwood and tonka bean.

I typically love a lavender scent, but I think I've really started associating it with sleep (I use a lavender pillow spray every night), so I have a bit of a harder time wearing it during the day now. It's a nice scent - I think they make a lotion and body wash, and I would probably love this scent in those products! It's a pretty scent, just not an every day perfume for me!
