English Lavender by Yardley of London 7 oz perfumed talc

Ah, Yardley London Perfumed Talc! I have the happiest memories of Yardleys from a favorite Aunt who always smelled so good & in whose closet hung lavender in wee woven baskets. Yardley's Talc was in her bathroom & it was a treat to be allowed to use it. It has not been available in stores where I live---the real deal, the authentic English lavender from London. I was really excited but a bit anxious when I ordered it from Amazon. Would it still be wonderful? Yes, yes, and yes. This lavender exceeds my expectations ---the container is large and holds a generous seven ounces which is a lot of talc --the top is perforated with a cover that slides to close the talc when I'm through, preventing wasteful spills and preserving the fragrance --it is intensely lavender, so it actually could be used as a closet sachet. When used as a body powder, the scent is very present but more delicate, not like I'd jumped into a vat of cologne --the talc is SILKEN! Soooooo soft, and leaves my skin feeling like satin --It does not pile up or pack onto my clothes, but stays where it belongs on my skin. The container is a handsome flat oval, in a soft lavender color, with the insignia of Queen Elizabeth II & the three ostrich plumes of The Prince of Wales. The bottom is quality metal & the seams are tight---no leaking or talc trails. This is a wonderful value, a bit of "luxe" that makes me feel like a Queen now, as much as when I was a little girl. ANY READER ALERTS? No alerts or issues. If, however. lavender is not your favorite scent, Yardley has the same quality talc in at least five other fragrances for the same price. Me, I'm delighted with their lavender!

Very lovely scent.

This is a lovely powder. Soft texture. It is very subtle and it has that Yardley scent. I will buy again.

The product itself is great nice sandalwood smell smooth powder. It’s just a lot smaller than I expected by probably have for the cost. It’s a bit pricey., also I had to take the top off to get the power out. It wouldn’t come through the plastic top.

Smells amazing! Love all of yardleys products!

I always loved the smell of lavender and this talc is just right.

Este talco huele super rico es bien perfumado y suave cuando lo aplicas

At least the aroma is not baby powder scent. Very difficult to shake out of the bottle. At least a guy won't smell like corn starch.
