English Lavender by Yardley of London 7 oz perfumed talc

Very pleasing

I have used lavender scents for years. I am quite pleased with the fragrance, ease of application and twist closure to prevent spills. I will be ordering this again

It smells good,but it can be better.

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.

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!

As described and expected.

I've been buying English Lavender for years. Always happy with it. The scent is mild and the talc very smooth.

Love the scent and quality of powder
