Finding the perfect Mother's Day gift isn't always easy, but with Yardley London it can be. Yardley London makes some fantastic bath and body products in some pretty amazing scents, but I know my mom would love their English Rose line, and that is why I am treating her to it this Mother's Day.

When I was a child I remember my mom having a vial of rose perfume and when I asked what it was for she dabbed a little bit behind my ears and said 'so boys will fall in love with you'. I never forgot that or that wonderful scent of rose. Yardley London captures that prefect scent of floral, light and sweet roses in this collection and it is just wonderful for spring and summer.

Moisturizing Body Wash
This clear and light wash foams up nice and rich while smelling like real roses. It also won't dry out your skin, which is always a plus.

Moisturizing Body Lotion
This lotion is light and not too heavy, but still moisturizing, plus it has a pump (always a plus). Layering this on after using the body wash is a great way to make the scent of roses last longer.

Fragranced Body Mist
I love Yardley's body mists, a lot really (read a review here), but the rose one has become my favourite these last few month. I can spritz it on in the morning and not feel it is too heavy and overwhelm others on my morning commute but still smell during the day. It is that light and not to heavy kind of scent that I love for the warmer weather.

Perfumed Talc
Talc is that little bit extra that I think a lot of mothers would really like. It isn't a thing that younger people tend to use too much but it is very luxurious and adds another layer of scent to you routine making it last longer. I always have enjoyed talc before bed because of how it made my skin felt and the scent it enrobes me with. There are also some other great uses for scented talc powder, like keeping in your drawers to scent your clothes or for vacuuming (I sprinkle some baking soda and some scented talc and my carpet comes out much cleaner).

Eau De Toilette
This is my favourite item in the whole collection, Eau De Toilette. It smells fantastic and looks amazing in the bottle. The scent lasts all day and it works perfectly with the other items.
Every product in this scent collection is wonderful on its own, but when they are layered together they work even better and the scent lasts even longer. I love how the English Rose scent makes me feel, it is light, summery, romantic and never overwhelming all in one.

I hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day, I am not worried about my mother's gift this year because I know she will love it thanks to Yardley London.

While I love a nice floral fragrance, I find they can get a little heavy and strong a little fast, especially in the summer time. This is why in the summer I look for body mists, they are light, refreshing, you can go to town spraying them and never feel like you're going to offend anyone. Plus they are great to spray on clothing or hair that might need a little refreshing in the scent department (post gym hair anyone?).

Yardley has an amazing line of floral scented body care products, and while the pefrumes are great, their body mists are what I am using every day right now.

English Rose:

ENGLISH ROSE is a refreshing, light floral fragrance with sparkling citrus and rose top notes and a heart subtly combining rosebud, magnolia, violet and cassis with warm woody notes, whilst patchouli and musk add velvety tones to the base. Exclusively available at Shoppers Drug Mart for $9.99

I remember loving to smell my mothers yellow roses in our garden as a kid, for some reason that flower brings me more joy then any other. While rose is a wonderful scent I adore any time of year, in the summer I like something with a bit more complexity then straight up rose. The citrus, magnolia, violet and cassis make it might lighter while the woody notes mixed with patchouli and musk add more depth and complexity. It definitely smells amazing and more my style then just plain old rose or rose water. It is a classic but with a slight twist and I love it for that reason.
Lily of the Valley:

LILY OF THE VALLEY is a light, feminine, white floral fragrance with fruity pear accords in the top note and a beautiful floral bouquet heart that blends lily of the valley and freesia, enhanced with a pretty, musk base. Fresh and vibrant. Exclusively available at Shoppers Drug Mart for $9.99.

Lily of the Valley is one of those flowers I always see but never knew what it was. The cute little bells that hang in the spring time make my garden area so fairy tale like. Lily of the Valley smells amazing on its own, but the blend in this fragrance mist takes makes it much more wearable for me everyday. Pear and the lily scent blend so well together you would never know it wasn't a natural combination. I really love this scent on days that I am feeling like I need a bit of a bright scent, while keeping it in the floral family.

Lavender:

ENGLISH LAVENDER is a beautifully fresh, light, elegant fragrance with top notes of bergamot and clary sage and a heart of calming English lavender subtly combining notes of eucalyptus, geranium, jasmine, chamomile and violet, enhanced with deeper, warm base notes of wood, vanilla and patchouli. Exclusively available at Shoppers Drug Mart for $9.99.
