~English Lavender from Yardley~ ************************* This english lavender scented talc is just one of the Yardley body care products that I have bought and used. I find that this fresh feeling and softly scented lavender based powder smells fresh and clean each and every time that you use it. I have bought this product from time to time as I rather like lavender scented products such as this one from the Yardley range and feel that they work well together. This talc can also be used/ or layered with other lavender based products and fragances if wanted, which in my experience also works well. The texture of the talc is light airy and ...  Read the complete review

Whilst some people consider the aroma of lavender to be old fashioned and for "old ladies", I have adored the fragrance ever since I was a child as in addition to it offering calming and relaxing properties, it evokes some very special memories for me. Although I would never use a lavender perfume I love using toiletries offering the delightful aroma, but my experience over the years has proven that very few brands can provide an authentic aroma. Yardley is the winner as far as I am concerned, as their products offer a true scent with this review discussing my experience with using their English Lavender Perfumed Talc, which is a product I have repurchased ...  Read the complete review

WHAT IS IT? Talc from Yardley London that is fragranced with Lavender. THE PACKAGING The talc comes in a metal tin that has got a plastic top that you can turn round to open and let the talc out or close it to keep the talc inside.  I like the tin because it is very different to the plastic bottles that most talcs come in, the bottom sometimes leaves a dirty mark on my bathroom tiles but that wipes away and the tin doesn't ever rust or the top doesn't clog up even if the bathroom is steamy. WHAT I THINK I like the fragrance because the lavender is sweet and very natural smelling instead of being a fake lavender ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to talcum powder I am not overly a huge fan of the white powdery stuff however I am staying with my mum at the moment who has this in her bathroom and after a nice long soak and a dry off I decided to give this a go, on more than one occasion (Shh though don't tell her I been using her stuff! lol). This comes in a really nice old fashioned looking square (ish) in shape tin and the top part twists around to allow it to be used or not by uncovering and covering up the little holes and on the front of the tin which is mainly lilac in colour we are told what it is and who it is by and that it weighs 200g and then on the back of the tin other ...  Read the complete review

A couple of years ago on mothers day, my daughter presented me with a bottle of English Rose talcum powder she'd picked up in the local shop. Although at that point talc wasn't something I regularly used, I really grew to like it, so much so that it's now become my annual mothers day treat to get a bottle of talc from Yardleys, and this year I got the English Lavender variety. I have to confess that Lavender is a scent a generally associate with older people, or with products designed to make me sleep, but I did very much like the old fashioned floral design of the bottle, which is sort of a tin in a bottle shape. It's very pretty and ladylike, and not ...  Read the complete review
