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!

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

The difference in absorbance between talc and cornstarch is astounding. Talc wins hands down. Smooth on your body, does not disseminate into the air and get everywhere like cornstarch. A single application and I stay fresh and dry all day. Not so with cornstarch. Also. If one is prone to yeast in skin folds.cornstarch is the worst for that as it feeds the yeast. Thank you, Yardley. Exactly as I remember.

I love the lightness of this powder to dust on at bedtime. It makes my skin feel so cool. The scent is soothing.g I ordered lavender but received English lavender. I don't really know how they differ so I'll use this and maybe order another fragrance too.

Oh, Lavender! Sweet smell of my youth! My grandmother always used lavender talc and every once in awhile she dust a bit on my neck. Even back then maybe I had found the scent to soothe my soul and spirit. Today I use lavender essential oil for a sleep aid: just a drop on a folded tissue tucked into your pillowcase. Back in the day, if I received this talc as a gift, it was a big deal to me, and I'd try to make it last. I remember shaking the very last particle out! But back then it was too pricey, and as I married and had children, I bought myself less expensive beauty/bath products. As most moms do! And then retirement! Ahh, some goodies can now be purchased, and ENGLISH LAVENDER BY YARDLEY is one of my guilty pleasures. The scent is so spot on and lasts throughout the day. Love this so much and will definitely be buying more. Maybe someday one of my grandchildren will smell the scent of lavender...and think of me.

This powder remains a classic, in my book. Not too perfumey, just subtle, clean and refreshing.

I'm over 50 and when I was growing up, great granny used Yardley Lavender soap and talc. Kept the talc on her dressing table in a dish with a big puff. She'd say, keeps you fresh in the hot heat of summer. A few weeks ago it started getting really hot. I went to the pharmacy to pick up regular things and says a bar of Yardley, it smelt like my great granny. Always made her bathroom smell nice. Last week, it was meltable hot. The Heat got me good and I hated it. Was at the pharmacy for gift cards and decided to get a tin of talc ... I remembered great granny had a powder dish with a big puff and the tin was in the dresser to make her hankies smell as pretty as the looked. No tin! What, forever you could find Yardley ... Amazon! I got two, this and OMG, English Rose! My hubby says I smell like his great granny - lol! Oh well, I was dry today and will be tomorrow. Love the lavender, but you have to smell the rose - lol!

Huele bien pero sale carísimo por el envío

Spijtig genoeg was de verpakking gedeukt, hopelijk leidt dit niet tot vermindering van de kwaliteit van het product, is dit niet luchtdicht afgesloten nu want geur komt vrij.

Compra e entrega foi super rápido e produto bem embalado. Talco Yardley de lavanda é muito bom!

Always my mom's favorite

Da molto ho cercato di trovare in negozio un borotalco simile a questo, così delicato e profumato ma non ci sono riuscita. Dopo ricerche online ho trovato questo borotalco e dopo averlo provato sono rimasta davvero soddisfatta. Un profumo non forte ma dolce e delicato. L ho acquistato già 3 volte! Lo raccomando a chi preferisce borotalco a crema per il corpo. Ottimo regalo per le nonne.

...der besonderen Art. Absolut kein Babypuder und für Katzen und ähnliche Kleintiere, wie bei anderen Pudersorten gelegentlich zu lesen, absolut nicht empfehlenswert wegen des sehr eigenen und markanten Lavendelduftes. Das genau ist es, was mir an diesem Puder ganz besonders gefällt. Unverwechselbar, nicht zurückhaltend sondern eher provozierend. Sieh her : ich "trag" Lavendel :-))) Nach dem Duschen recht großzügig auftragen und sich sofort wohlfühlen. Sehr gut geeignet für die jetzt herrschende heiße Jahreszeit. Winziger Kritikpunkt vielleicht die Blechdose, die bei mir eingedellt eintraf und ansonsten auch mit pudrigen Händen ein bisschen glatt erscheint. Absolute Kaufempfehlung für diejenigen, die sich nicht scheuen, lavendelig durch die Gegend zu laufen.
