Beauty Report Card: Crabtree & Evelyn Floral Collection

We love the sudden assault on our senses the moment we step foot amongst the bottles, tubes and bars of goodness in any beauty store.
 
Crabtree & Evelyn is a store we can rely on for this sensory experience every time. So when we spotted their 50% off Storewide Sale, we weren't passing by without a little peek. But even with the temptation of the sale and lingering scents from all their beautiful products, we were able to stand our ground and only walked away with a single purchase! It is set of eau de toilettes from Crabtree & Evelyn's Floral Collection.




The gorgeous set of four 15ml single-note floral fragrances would make the perfect gift and great samplers that you can try before comitting to a full sized bottle. Suckers for exquisite packaging, we love the glass-etched designs which make a great addition to our dresser. Light fruity and floral scents are among our favourites, so naturally these have become some of our most worn scents! Iris however, is a little strong for our liking and definitely a more mature scent (so it has found it's new home on our mum's dressing table!!)






Breakdown

Affordability   A
Any regular reader of our blog will know that we preach a frugal philosophy, so we are thrilled that we snagged this not for it's original price of $49, but for $24.50! (that's less than $6.15 per bottle). To be fair, the original price is pretty decent for a set of four beautiful fragrances from a brand of this calibre.
 
Availability   A
Crabtree & Evelyn has a number of stores in Australia and worldwide, and also sell their products online so don't fret, you still have time to pick this set up on sale.

Packaging   A+
The glass etched designs make for gorgeous bottles that take pride of place on our dresser.
 
Longevity   B
They are eau de toilettes so we weren't expecting their smell to linger or last quite as long as our perfumes, but these are perfect if you want a light body spray.
 
Range   A+
The four scents are very different, but all lovely in their own way!
 
~
Overall Grade: A
 We would definitely recommend this collection! The packaging and scents themselves would make the perfect gift for any lover of sweet, floral fragrances.
