Yardley London Luxury Soap Sandalwood & English Lavender Review

Yardley London Luxury Soap – Sandalwood & English Lavender

Wipro Yardley soaps have been introduced in five exotic fragrances of Red Roses, English Rose, Jasmine, Sandalwood and the extremely popular English Lavender.

According to Wipro, Yardley soaps are manufactured in Yardley’s state-of-the-art facility in the UK and are imported to India. The soaps are being custom made to suit the Indian consumer tastes.

I bought the Sandalwood & English Lavender fragrance bars & here’s my take on them.

My Experience: This soap has a very mild sandalwood fragrance, it neither keeps the body moisturised not dries it out. The fragrance is not lasting, as soon as you come out of the bathroom, you will find it fading. It lathers well & rinses off easily. This looks just like the regular soap nothing extraordinary about it; even regular Indian soap bars like Vivel & Lux have nice fragrance & are cheaper when compared to this one.

Pros of the Soap Bar:
• Doesn’t dry out the skin.
• This soap doesn’t become soggy.
• It lathers well & rinses off easily.

Cons of the Soap Bar:
• Doesn’t have a lasting fragrance.
• It doesn’t make the bath an uplifting experience.
• Pricey for what it delivers! There is nothing unusual about this soap bar. There are lots of other soaps in the Indian market that do the same job for a lesser price.
• Doesn’t deliver what it claims.

Yardley London English Lavender Soap:

Ingredients: Sodium palmate, Sodium Palm Kemelate, Aqua, Parfum, Isopropyl Lanolate, Sodium Chloride, Glycerin, Limonene, Isopropyl Myristate, Tetasodium EDTA, Geraniol, Citronellol, BHT, Linalool,Coumarin, Eugenol, Tetrasodium Etidronate, CI 77891(Titanium Dioxide), CI77891, CI74160

Price: Rs.40 INR for 100g.
Shell Life: 3 Years
My Experience:
This soap has nice lavender fragrance, however once out of the bathroom; it completely

fades away & is not long lasting at all. The first time I used it, the fragrance was very pleasant but after a few baths the fragrance diminishes. Though it lathers well & rinses off easily it neither make the skin hydrated nor dries out, it’s so-so.

Pros of the Soap Bar:
• Doesn’t dry out the skin.
• This soap doesn’t become soggy.
• It lathers well & rinses off easily.

Cons of the Soap Bar:
• Doesn’t have a lasting lavender fragrance. After the first bath, the fragrance lessens.
• Doesn’t deliver what it claims! I’m not sure about the presence of natural lavender oil.
• Pricey for what it delivers! There is nothing unusual about this soap bar. There are lots of other soaps in the Indian market that do the same job for a lesser price.
• Doesn’t provide an uplifting experience.

Will I recommend these? No! But if I need to recommend any one of these two I would recommend the fragrance English Lavender. It’s slightly better than Sandalwood.
Will I repurchase these? No.

          1. Haan Sanjeev ji , Gym join kiya hai, aerobics, cardio subhi kar rahi hoon :jog: LOL Rati, Abhi baat ho rahi hai, date fix hona hai baaki hai :blush:

  6. i would agree about the sandalwood bit.. as u see indian market has mysore sandal soaps which are the best ever. and those soaps make sure u smell of sandalwood all day long.

    i bought these soaps in a super saver combo pack of 3. and i really like lavender. the fragrance is pretty intense. and it refreshes me in the morning. i do agree tht it does not last. but i find tht for a nice smelling soap, and non drying soap plus the brand name , the price is decent. what makes me buy it is that it doesnt for a minute smell artificial or synthetic.
