Royal English Daisy

I first bought this for a friend on this forum and had it shipped directly to her without trying it myself. Then I passed it on the shelf recently and tried it more out of curiosity than anything. I absolutely love this fragrance. It wafts new mown grass, meadows, fresh beginnings of summer and youth and innocence. My only disappointment is that it has no staying power on me at all. I spray it repeatedly throughout the day. It's just as well that it's very affordable, although I will be getting through 2 bottles a month at this rate haha! I agree with other reviews, it is highly comparable with more expensive siblings...

Swinging in the hay shed on a summer's day, the wind blowing through the bales..is indistinguishable from the super highly priced Marc Jacobs Daisy, this Daisy lasts longer and is just as sweet (dry hay sweet, not sugar sweet) and soft and clean. I grew up on a lucerne farm, and this is such an evocative scent for me. You can buy a 50ml EDT and 75ml body spritz for AU$17. Another beautiful, youthful fragrance by Yardley for a staggeringly competetive price.

Further findings on Royal English Daisy; I recently bought Polaire by Yardley, a gorgeous scent and to me sexy too. However on offering my wrists to my boyfriend, once soaked with Polaire, the other with Royal English Daisy, he commented that Poliare is 'just beautfiul' but that he found Royal English Daisy uber sexy. 'It's the come to bed scent," he said, to paraphrase him for politeness sake. Surprise, surprise.

This new fragrance has just become available in Canada. Wow, what can I say, fabulously fresh and long lasting for a mere $20 - You cannot go wrong. Not only that, Yardley has excellent customer service and is very responsive to their customers' comments. You have got to get some. It is sold at Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada.

Beautiful, cheery and optimistic scent, very fresh, green and yet warm. This is an amazing find at an incredible price, am now going to try all the Yardley scents, think have been wasting £100's on other overpriced scents when this quality and beauty is available so cheaply from Yardley.

A very happy, summery scent. Very clean, light, and fresh. Makes you feel joyful and full of energy. Not intrusive. Decent longevity. Simply perfect. Will try other Yardley fragrances.

Such a romantic and gentle scent, suitable for young ladies and the price is very affordable.

Good cheapie scent . Smells similar to Marc Jacobs Daisy to me. Springtime in a bottle.

Smells of summer and sunshine. Gorgeous.

Royal English Daisy is a trip down memory lane. I love fragrances that make me wistful and nostalgic. When I was a child my grandparents ran a dairy farm in a beautiful part of Victorian countryside. On our summer visits my siblings and I would be out the door and into Grandma's garden early in the morning, often while there was still dew on the grass but knowing that it would warm up to be another scorcher. This makes me feel fresh, innocent, clean and carefree . This fragrance is sweetly crisp with a faint grassy note. It wears a good few hours on my skin. Scent trail is soft. It is light but I still present enough to catch wafts of it hours after application. If you're not normally fond of light scents or rose scents, neither am I so don't be put off trying this one. The sandalwood and musk are so soft and cottony providing a perfectly comforting base for the other notes to rest on. I love it and will wear it often in the warm weather, although it is a good choice for a relaxing day any time of the year.

I'm not quite sure why this perfume is called Royal English Daisy, because there are no daisies anywhere near this scent! The scent opens in a burst of Granny Smith apple and cut grass, making it smell not unlike Garnier Fructis (10-15 mins). The middle is more of the same green opening but with a base of white rose (15 mins), which dies down to a musk at the base. This perfume is great for a clean 'just-stepped-out-of-the-shower' smell: perfect in Spring/Summer. Silage is soft and close to the skin, this is definitely a perfume you'd wear for yourself rather than to attract others. The scent disappears completely after about 3-4 hours, but for such a cheap price, you can afford to keep re-spritzing during the day!

Tried this as a part of my current quest for inexpensive warm weather gems. This is inoffensive, fresh and light; even if it is sort of a generic modern fruity floral. Sometimes you want something that just smells "nice". This fits that short list of requirements, I just wish it lasted longer! On my skin, I get about two hours--and that's with my nose pressing into the sprayed skin without much sillage beyond the nostril. I still want to try a few other Yardley varieties though, even if their longevity is more like a eau de cologne than an eau de toilette.

Simple, light and lovely. It's very short lived, but it's cheap so you can reapply often without breaking the bank. Somehow all the notes listed are blended to make "daisy". It's what you imagine daises to smell like. Not what they actually smell like. I can't really pick out any one note. They are all kinda parts of a whole. It's summer, sunny, and fresh. There is no real evolution of this scent on the skin. It's a basic linear scent with low sillage. I like it and would consider buying it.

I like this scent alot, sweet flowers more like apple blossoms; I didn't detect any fruity note here. One of pleasure scent in the bottle. I got it as gift from London's friend and the quality of scent is more than expectation. I will buy it again once finish this bottle. FYI, I layer this with The Body Shop "white musk breeze", it's remarkable & sensual and last on me morethan 8 hrs. (without layering on me it lasts about 4-5 hrs. I think.

I found this fresh, unexpectedly delightful fragrance at TJMaxx and promptly returned the following day to buy the second bottle for $7.99! This perfume makes me feel optimistic and young, and is reminiscent of young love. In my mind's eye, I can picture a young, carefree girl, basking in the sun and frolicking in a fragrant meadow. I can't wait for spring and summer when I will be wearing this tasteful, warm, long-lasting scent.

And another blind buy. Not quite what I expected (I thought it would be more white floral type)but it is nice. Nice but not fantastic to fall in love with. Clean, simple, crisp, translucent and youthfull fragrance. Pure innoscence - there's nothing sexy about it. Longevity is quite good, scent remains constant - just like the moment you've sprayed it. The kind you can use everyday during spring-summer time.

This is a real and delightful find! It's a delicious mixture of apples, rose, new mown grass and hay meadows and somehow - sunshine. For an EDT it packs a powerful punch, leaves a lasting sillage and yet is not overwhelming nor cloying. Yardley Daisy is fresh clean and very wearable and bottle is simple and classic. Staying power is good and for less than 10 $ in most stores, a complete bargain.

Nice, unoffensive pretty little scent. Very light, sits close to the skin - no chance this could offend anybody! Very fresh, spring/summer suited, green floral. Ideal office scent. Doesn't last long, but you can pick this up in the original, older style packaging (as pictured) for a bargain price, so spray often :)

High quality was a great surprise to me. It reminds me of estee lauder's emerald dream. Watery, light, sweet, elegant... I like it very much.

Nothing special, but still a bright, fresh summer perfume. Doesn't last too long either, but it's cheap.
