No 7

English Laundry #7 ... Bought it for 12.99 and tjmaxx. Out of all the flankers they had this one stood out to me. I love how strong it is . its pretty beast mode. Surprising for a non middle eastern. I don't know why but when there's a note of apricot in a fragrance it comes across high class to me luxury like. This is deffintly a gourmond it's sweet and if I had looked up this fragrance and saw the whipped cream note id probably pass on it, most smell juvenile with that note im a woman not a girl and I can pull off this fragrance its a mature nutty smooth not fluffy or airy to me ,very seductive. If you over spray you'd probably get turned off its linear doesn't change much.for 12.99 its stupid good! If you can find it at your outlet stores and you like the scent stock up! all discounters are asking 30+ for it. Ridiculous! Very pretty a sweet scent a grown woman can pull off!! Enjoy!

I found this lovely, heavy bottle sitting unpackaged at TJ Maxx this weekend, and after one sample spray it went straight into my shopping cart. This scent defines the word "cozy." It's like fresh whipped cream poured over slices of pear and melon. The fruit portion is very soft and non-cloying and the whipped cream makes it cozy and delicious. I am wearing it on a cool summer morning and it's not too much at all - I see comparisons to Jessica Simpson's Fancy and I agree, but whereas I would not be able to handle the creamy dessert vibes of Fancy in the heat of summer, I think I could handle No. 7 pretty much all year long - although having said that, I can't wait to try this in the fall and winter. Hoping to spot other English Laundry bottles on my next inevitable trip to TJ Maxx. :)

I am not a connoisseur by any means and can rarely pick out exact notes. This is a great fragrance with my chemistry! It smells sweet but not cloying, I can see the vanilla and whipped cream. I don’t really get anything fruity, on me it is a very warm, comforting, pretty scent. Sensual but not sexy. Understated and soft, but not weak. I do notice the floral in there, according to the notes it’s jasmine and that explains why I like this so much, jasmine really plays well with me and I usually love it! I bought a “rollerball” set (turned out to be atomizers but that’s fine with me!) of this and a couple of other English Laundry fragrances, all are really good on me and I will be on the lookout for a full size one.

When I first tried this, my initial thought was that it smelled just like the drink horchata! Looking at the notes, I shouldn't have been so surprised; the drink is made from rice, blanched almonds, cinnamon and sugar. This perfume has the same warm, super creamy vanilla fragrance. The layers of whipped cream, almond, and sandalwood give a lot of depth to the vanilla note. It reminds me a lot of the "rice pudding" feel of Kenzo Amour, only this is a bit sweeter. I receive a lot of compliments when I wear this, and if I'm ever feeling sad, or am having a "there's nothing to wear!!!" moment with my perfume wardrobe, I can put this on and it always feels comforting and right.

I received a 10ml in a subscription beauty box, and loved it, I've bought another 10ml. This is strong a few spritzes and it lasts all day. I dont get the top notes when I first spray, (maybe because my little bottle is old) it goes straight into the mid notes for me, almond first, and the floral comes through. The whipped cream definitely helps make it light and fluffy. As it settles the vanilla comes through, although for me, the sandalwood is stronger. It's beautiful and different to what I own,( usually more sweet, vanilla heavy scents). Happy to repurchase, its a grown up scent, I don't think I would have appreciated this 10 years ago, but I do now.
