Liz Earle Botanical Essence No. 1. It's from British skincare brand, Liz Earle and is their first foray into fragrance. To bring Liz Earle's vision of a vibrant sparkling floral to life, their perfumer, Jean Charles Niel, used over 98% natural ingredients in the fragrance, like like Lavender, Rose and Italian Bergamot.
This is a citrus lovers fragrance for sure - the opening notes are lemon, orange and mandarin - but after the initial citrus burst, I found it settled into a warm scent that was nicely balanced with just a touch of rose and lavender. The drydown was spicy, but "woke up" the citrus again with the addition of vetiver, so even after a long day without any time to reapply, I could still be reminded of the initial fresh citrus mix.
The lasting power is very nice for a citrus-based scent, but afternoon reapplication is certainly the best way to keep the fragrance going, and I loved the refreshing pick me up it gave me, especially on really hot, humid evenings!
The packaging is also lovely! The bottle is contained within a box with a little "pull out" draw decorated by a tiny blue ribbon. This makes is a nice little gift idea for the fragrance lover in your life as well. - RLB
