About

Yardley Original opens with a bright and zesty burst of mandarin and bergamot, quickly joined by the herbaceous quality of lemon verbena. As it settles, a warm, spicy heart of cinnamon emerges, leading into a woody and amber base with earthy patchouli creating a timeless, rich finish. It's a sweet, spicy citrus with an ambery depth that evokes a refined, classic British charm.
