The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2020 - Issue 27

bite beauty adds a warm and sensual hint to the fragrance. For me, it is the scent of holidays, seaside, and beautiful long sunny days. ELEGANT IRIS This is a sophisticated fragrance infused with the opening tones of Daisy, Green Leaves, and Red Fruits. The woody flo- ral scent transforms itself into feminine vibes through the heart centre of Iris, Wild Rose, Freesia, and Jasmine, while the base of Amber adds warmth and a sensual feel. I love this fragrance because it is the one I would wear for mysterious evenings, elegant and secretive, anywhere around the world. LUXURIOUS SOAPS Yardley’s famous soaps are very much loved and renowned worldwide. Made of 97% of naturally derived ingredients, they are vegetable-based and contain sustainable Shea Butter. They are available in various floral scents including English Lavender and English Rose. To me, they are like an extension of L’eau de Toilette, because they are made from similar blends of flowers and plants. I love them all, and I love to mix and match the fragrances accord- ing to my mood, the weather, and inspiration. LUXURIOUS SOAP APRIL VIOLETS A fresh infusion of Violet Leaves, Citrus Fruits, Mi- mosa, and Peaches is perfectly balanced with the wooden base of Vanilla and Sandalwood. It has a real spring feel to it. LUXURIOUS SOAP LILY OF THE VALLEY This has a delicate, feminine, and light floral scent. Lily and Freesia add a touch of class to this scent, while a Musky base brings an earthy, warm hint, which is ever so delicate. This has a good morning, crispy feel for the day ahead. ENGLISH LAVENDER This soap has a delicious scent of Lavender but it comes with a delicious twist. Its blend of Eucalyptus, Clary Sage, and Bergamot brings freshness, while a blend of Chamomile, Jas- mine, and Violet together with a woody base of Vanilla and Patchouli adds warmth and depth to its scent. This luxurious soap indeed has all the flavours of the woods in one bar. Ex- quisite! ENGLISH ROSE This is the one for the Rose lover. It is soft and velvety but at the same time fresh and crispy, with an added blend of Citrus. The array of flowers: Magnolia, Violet, and Cassis are enhanced by the richness and warmth base of Musk and Patchouli. My Yardley London Sensorial Journey There is far more in a fragrance or soap than just a scent. To me, Yardley London was the positive discovery that good quality and effort can survive throughout time, events and calamities. For me, it was embracing their rich heredity and history together with a modern way of thinking. The fra- grances helped me to visualise places and feelings, thanks to the power of its combination of beautiful flowers. For a moment in time where there is so much uncertain- ty and restrain, this experience was very joyful, because it helped me to think about places I have been and wish to go, bringing hope and well-being. I have never really appreciated a luxurious soap until I came across Yardley London and, if this helps with washing hands to keep safe and stay healthy, there is nothing more valuable to add to this delicious, enjoy- able experience. www.yardleylondon.co.uk
