The English Dahlia collection from Yardley is the latest range to launch and it is just so pretty. I was lucky enough to attend an event which gave an introduction to the brand and the new fragrance. Most people will have heard of Yardley and have in their mind soaps and talcum powder, which is how I recognised the brand originally, now with a makeover, stunning looking packaging it is much more than that.
The English Dahlia is now in season and so is very fitting for Autumn. The British brand also wanted to highlight this absolutely beautiful British flower, one that we don't hear and see enough of.
The scent opens up with top notes of neroli and apple flower which are fruity and light. The heart notes of Dahlia, Rose and Peony add a hint of a floral tone which when combined with the neroli make a stunning scent and finally after a good ten minutes of settling down the base note of base notes of patchouli, cedar and musk which give the fragrance an earthy tone. Overall you get a nice mixture of floral and musk which isn't sweet and nor is it earthy, it sits somewhere in the middle and lasts for hours on the skin.
The range consists of an Eau de Toilette, Body Spray and a handcrea, and is purse friendly with the hand cream costing just £2.66, the Body spray is £2.49 and with the fragrance being on offer in Boots, so you can get 125ml for just £9.99 or 50ml for £6.66 this would make a really nice gift set.
