BODY - Yardley London English Lavender Luxury Body Wash & Yardley London Botanicals Naturally Moisturizing Botanical Soap Review

by - October 08, 2018

I don’t know when I became a huge sucker for the scent of lavender, but I seriously can’t get enough of it. I think the most interesting thing about lavender is that it rarely smells the same – as in, you can have a bunch of lavender scented products, but they will all smell different based on the type of lavender used, or the mix of scents. 

Yardley London and Yardley London Botanicals (yes, they are two different companies!) allow me to use this lovely scent in two forms: through the Yardley London English Lavender Luxury Body Wash and the Yardley London Botanicals NaturallyMoisturizing Botanical Soap
From first whiff, Yardley London's English Lavender Luxury Body Wash is a strongly scented lavender wash with many noes and undertones of other scents. I’m not that great with determining scents, but I can definitely smell the minty eucalyptus undertones and warm notes of patchouli. Although this body wash is strongly scented, it washes off and leaves your skin with a light lavender scent – perfect for the Spring/Summer. I find this body wash also quite moisturizing and doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry – but dryness in body washes isn’t something I have concerns about and/or notice, so take this with a grain of salt if this is one of your concerns.

On the other hand, Yardley London Botanicals' English Lavender Naturally Moisturizing Botanical Soap is so, so, so delicately scented with a true lavender. If you gave me this soap without the packaging, I would think that it was a scent-free soap. I’m not saying there isn’t a scent – because there definitely is – but it’s just so subtle, and I actually really like it. I normally like heavily scented soaps, but sometimes it can be a bit much if I apply perfume after my show. Plus, my fiancé refuses to use fruity soaps so I have to keep one in my shower for when he comes over, which is like once a month. But because this lavender soap scent is so faint while being super moisturizing at the same time, I think it’s really great for everyday use, AND the faint scent won’t deter my fiancé from using it – so we saved a bit of soap space in the shower. It’s a win-win, yay!

Let's be friends!
