Yardley perfume

[wiziliz]

If you are in your early 30s would you use Yardley perfume? Or is it for granny's..??

Yardley Jade is lovely.

Is it for a gift or for yourself?

Sometimes the so-called 'old lady' perfuse are the best ones!

Yardley English Bluebell is very nice - I was very surprised!

Yardley jade is exactly the same as chanel cristalle

I have the bluebell body spray in my handbag, and violets in my downstairs loo. I use them as my everyday perfume. Quite happy to smell like an old lady

Yy Jade is gorgeous! One of my go-to perfumes for spring. I also like Polaire which is a gentle floral chypre scent. There's usually an offer of some kind on in Boots. Picked up my last bottle of Jade for a fiver!

I like Yardleys and don’t think they are old lady at all! They excel in what are called soliflores

^ soliflores are perfumes based on one central floral note. If you want to learn about which flowers you like the smell of they are great. I have Violets, Rose, freesia, lily of the valley and lavender- enjoy them all and they are great for layering

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I'm in my late thirties and I wouldn't use it because I think it's a bit Granny, but then I don't like floral scents anyway which most of Yardley seems to be. I think Chanel No 5 is a Granny perfume too if I'm honest, but it doesn't matter what I think, if YOU like OP, then wear it. Chances are you probably wouldn't like any of the perfumes I wear (strong, spicy or fruity) because we all have different tastes :)

If you wear Tweed, I'll follow you down the street sniffing and sighing and smiling at the lovely memories.

Best stick with the florals

Funny isn't it.

Jo Malone asks you £50 and gives you a soliflore in a fancy schmancy black and white box and everyone kills to say it's their favourite.

Good old Yardley offer the same thing, (but longer lasting ) and everyone turns their noses up because it's what Granny wore.

Marketing is truly the opium (see what I did there...) of the masses.

Jade is an amazing perfume and I prefer it to Cristalle because it's sharper. Their new ranges (including Ink etc) are also very nice.

The soliflores are beautifully made and great for layering or for comfort scents.
