About This Perfume
Yardley Freesia & Bergamot comes across as bright citrus with peppery florals. It opens with bergamot, cypress and lemon, moves into freesia, ginger and lily of the valley and settles on amber, musk and sandalwood. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days and the office.
In the community's experience it fades within a few hours, and stays close to the skin. Plan to reapply on a long day.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you want one spray to last all day.
Around $7.
