Yardley Bluebell & Sweet Pea Eau de Toilette 125ml Spray Hair Powder Red Cobra opens with petrichorBluebell and sweet pea that's the light floral accord that doesn't need translating. Soft, slightly powdery, the kind of thing that smells like a cottage garden in April rather than a bottle of perfume. 125ml EDT spray. Two or three spritzes settle close to the skin, so the people next to you catch it rather than the people across the room. Good for daytime, especially if you already own something heavier for nights out.
