Bluebell & Sweet Pea

Having bought the body spray in TK Maxx I decided to try this perfume on a visit to Boots today. I really did not expect to be as impressed as I am. I usually find perfume rarely lasts at all on me. My skin just gobbles up pretty much everything I put on it. So whilst I was seriously thinking about buying a bottle I decided to spray and walk around for a bit to see how long it took to fade. There is still a faint whiff of it about 8 hours later. I'm really wishing I'd bought the bottle now. This has out performed many more expensive perfumes I have tried. Wow! So that's enough about performance. Now to describe it. It's quite a fresh, clean, almost aquatic scent, ideal for Summer. I think most people would find it inoffensive, so it's good for daytime or office use. It's very pretty, think girl next door, picnic in the park kind of thing. If it was a song Belle and Sebastian would be singing it. Which is kind of the vibe I'm aiming for. I'm definitely going to get a bottle next time I'm shopping.

A surprisingly good quality scent for its price. Super feminine, floral, slightly powdery. Prominent bergamot, sweet pea and jasmine. I am really impressed. Not every niche has such a well-combined floral tenderness and flow, well done, Yardley.

This encapsulates for me the perfect loving scent, I mean, it is so humble and gentle. You know when you realize that love is patient and kind, so sweet and light that it can bear, hope, and endure. This scent is everything but arrogant. It is a little nothingness floating around you, musky clean, floral, a bit sweet and pastel blue in the air. Not more, but not less. Edit: because of their concerned position and concept, because of the transparency and the shy and lighthearted elegance, Yardley is very appealing for me. But I still need to fully understand the way I should use them. The musky base blind my nose when I need to be concentrated on the scent. Reapply ? Less is more? More distance from the face? Skin or clothes ? Hair? Wardrobe ? Still investigating because they worth it !

Lovely, romantic, fresh, extremely natural smelling fragrance, suitable for spring and summer days. The longevity unfortunately is weak - which I sort of expected - but apart from that it is a nice perfume. Absolutely inoffensive and feminine, perfect for all ages; however, it will shine on younger, romantic souls. It reminds me of a young woman dancing barefoot on a spring meadow, in the sunny, slightly dewy morning or in a garden just before sunset on a rainy day. It has some romanticism and nostalgia inside. If you’re looking for a bold personality though, look elsewhere.

For a photorealistic bluebell with the scent of the flower and the woodland floor it grows in, you still need the Body Shop's Bluebell mist (thanks Edie!) if they still make it. https://www.fragrantica.com/news/Scents-of-England-Bluebells-20264.html I have that and this one, and the bluebell in this smells pretty accurate to me, from what I can tell through the lovely scent of the sweet peas. Insignificant sillage and longevity, but for 125ml for under a tenner, repeat spraying is not a problem with this refined, refreshing floral.
