English Laundry Perfume

MagnoliaMs — Sat, 10 May 2014 02:21:14 GMT

I just discovered this today. Has anyone else tried it? If you haven't, you should at least sample it if you get a chance. I love perfume and probably have tried most brands. From the least expensive to the higher end lines. I like a soft, feminine, and fresh fragrance but something that is evocative for the evenings. This fits the bill. It's a bit pricey but worth it. The standard size spray is 72.00 dollars. It's in a beautiful bottle and is a light pink shade. I wore it for the the first time this evening and had so many inquiries as to what I was wearing. Just thought I would share in case someone loves trying new fragrances like I do.

Is this the rose type one? I was at Nordstrom Rack yesterday and saw a large beautiful perfume box that was English Laundry...there were small roller ball type bottles for sale also. I think the roller ball bottles were $9.99. Great ""try me"" price! Think I'll go back and pick one up. I'm in a constant search for my perfect scent!

BellaCarro, I had taken my mother-in-law to the Air Force Exchange(where they usually have world wide new items). They have all of the new scents on display monthly. I found it there. I hope you get a chance to sample it. It is a winner!

Hmm, wonder where to find it locally?

There are several different women's fragrances in this line. Which is the one you particularly liked, MagnoliaMs? Do you recall the name?

I have never seen it anywhere else, BellaCarro. The above poster said she saw it at Nordstrom, I believe.

suzy Q3, I looked at my bottle, and it reads: English Laundry "Signature" by Christopher Wicks.

Long known for his line of men’s scents, Christopher Wicks of English Laundry tweaked his No. 7 blend just for the ladies. Bright and fruity, the result is both flirty and fun, grounded with alluring hints of masculine musk .

This fruity cocktail combines hints of pear, jasmine, melon, and apricot to create a fragrance fit for the warmer months (or when you’re longingly thinking about said months). Base notes of sandalwood, vanilla, and musk add warmth.

Spritz on pulse points like wrists and neck. Be prepared to turn some heads.

Nordstrom's carries it.

So does ebay.

Thank you, MagnoliaMs.

Nordstrom carries only the brand's men's cologne. I'm glad you like it, but apparently it is just almost impossible to find other than maybe ebay, as someone posted. But after my one and only time buying fragrance without testing it (Sofia), I just have to sniff it in person.

suzy Q3, I understand about having to do the "sniff test" first! I hope you won't forget it,though, and get to take a whiff in the near future.

Thanks, mystic! This really describes it so well, AND yes, it does turn heads!

Thank you for your review. I am always looking for new fragrances, especially since the reformulation of my old favorites. I have not been happy with any I have tried since that took place. The English Laundry sounds interesting. I'm looking at Nordie's online for it.

Hi, Southern Fried Chick, I hope you find it and can sample it. I came upon it by accident. I'm not into the floral perfumes, but I like a feminine, not too sweet smelling, and fresh scent that has staying power. I found it's not too strong, but definitely turns heads and gets inquiries as to what you are wearing! I'm picky about my fragrances, too. Let me know if you try it. I"d love to know what you think.

I have No. 7 - it's a pretty vanilla scent, smellls like a fancy, sophisticated cupcake. It was a sample in a recent Birchbox, and I liked it so much I bought the small spray bottle.

I'll look forward to sampling this,too, applebutter if I can ever find it. I definitely will be getting more of the Signature. I'm using it sparingly right now, but would love to just pour it all over me!!!

MagnoliaMs, not to confuse things , but your English Laundry Signature for women is not the No. 7 for women that Mistic is referring to.

Here's the English Laundry page on an excellent site called fragrantica.com: LINK.
