From Across the Pond: Liz Earle Bontanical Essence EDP No. 1 + “Adele” Draw

Liz Earle? Never heard of her? Ms. Earle is a former Beauty Editor of The Uk’s Woman’s Journal, host of her own television show on the BBC, author of numerous books on aromatherapy, a 2009 recipient of the MBE aka Member of the British Empire (which was announced on Her Majesty the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in recognition of her service to the beauty industry) and co-founder of Liz Earl Naturally Active Skin Care.

Quite a résumé.

Ms. Earle’s love of natural ingredients and dedication to creating chemical free products inspired her to introduce a new fragrance- Botanical Essence #1, may come from the U.K but Jean Charles Niel, Perfumer, hails from France. Editor’s Note: over 98% of ingredients are directly derived from natural and organic ingredients, so it is not a 100% natural perfume

“This unique fragrance has been lovingly crafted using some of the most precious botanicals from around the world and is unisex. High-altitude lavender from France, damask rose from Turkey, Italian bergamot and spicy patchouli from Indonesia are just a few of the ingredients in this complex blend. I hope you love our vibrant, naturally active fragrance as much as we do.”- Liz Earle, Co-Founder of Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare

Top notes: Bergamot, Mandarin, Orange Bigarade, Lemon, Cardamom
Middle notes: Rose absolute, Lavender, Geranium, Nutmeg, Coriander
Base notes: Cedarwood, Vetiver, Tonka Bean, Patchouli oil

I find this scent to be an absolutely uplifting ‘experience’ year round, as many of the key ingredients promote wellbeing. I am spraying it all over my home, my body and pillowcases. It blooms splendidly during warm weather when the heat is on.


–Michelyn Camen, Editor-In Chief

    I do not want to be entered in the drawing (I have a bottle of this). But I *do* want to encourage people to try this scent. It's excellent!

  • Isa says:

    This sounds right up my alley! I love all the notes, the bottle and the packaging! Everything is so "me"!
    I absolutely want to try this perfume.
    I have been looking for a new summer scent. I'm wearing both Un Jardin sur le Nil and Un Jardin après la Mousson, but I'd love something even fresher and natural.

  • Claudia says:

    Its not always about finding a new scent for summer, its about trying new fragrances….a new scent, a botanical scent ….even better, would love to be entered, the notes sound wonderful. You had me at Lavender, Damask Rose and Patchouli 🙂

  • taffynfontana says:

    This sounds so refreshing, especially for the heat waves of summer in Southern California.  I have bee enjoying  American Beauty by DSH and this sounds equally beautiful. Please enter me in the draw.

  • TaffyJ says:

    You had me at Adele.  Love. Her.
    The fragrance is most appealing with its emphasis on natural ingredients and beautiful notes.  Plus it's from the U.K.  Squee!
    Thank you for the draw!
     

  • Alexander Rachev says:

    This one sounds tempting.I would love to try it ,I'm getting more and more interested in all natural perfumery.I love it!

  • Alica says:

    The idea and composition sounds very interesting. I guess it would be a perfect summer choice, should I win it. Thanks for such opportunity!

  • angie Cox says:

    Liz Earle's skincare is reasonably priced and gives good results. It is a pleasure to use on tired skin and her eyebright lotion is cooling and soothing. I couldn't be without cleanse and polish ,it has done wonders for my daughter's combination skin .

  • Michelyn Camen says:

    Hi Angie Cox, So nice to hear from you. We now have a testimonial from the UK on Ms. Earle’s skin care line. I have been eyeing the eyebright as well. Have you tried the Botanical Essence?

  • Suzanne Wlaschin says:

    Another testimonial for ALL the Liz Earle's products, here. It's true, my DH works for the company, in IT – it's based right here on the Isle of WIght.  Consequently I've been introduced to all the products and really they are marvelous!
    The Botanical Essence is lovely, lovely, lovely!

  • Michelyn Camen says:

    BTW we will be bringing the best of beauty twice a month to CaFleureBon. But many products will be tested before choosing which to feature and watch for Mark Behnke who is our resident skincare, fashion and grooming expert. Jane Daly will be writing and of course our editors
    all have their own flair including MBD who packed lipstick queen in her pre rapture survival kit

  • civava says:

    In summer I cannot wear everything I please because of my sun allergy and so I'm using natural products and sunscreens on mineral basis. And it would be really nice to be able to wear some frangrance too. So I guess Liz Earle's products would suit me quite well.

  • *jen says:

    Hey, Michelyn, that's cool about adding beauty products to the site.  Kudos! You're a busy lassie.

    Can't wait to read Mark's lipstick reviews.

  • d3m0lici0n says:

    I'd love to get this summer fragrance, looking at the notes it looks just perfect, oh and adele it makes it even more perfect, thanks for all the draws and the excellent reviews!

  • Michelyn Camen says:

    *jen ha ha I can’t imagine mark will be testing lipstick but he is an expert in mens grooming, skincare and he welcome to write about anything including guyliner and eye brow tips 😉 Jane Daly will be writing once a month Mbd , Liza, Emmanuelle Ida know their way around beauty too! Now as u know I was (and still freelance) as a beauty editor, but rest assured it will tie in with our fifth sense

    Mark is also our fashionista and attend every Mercedes week fashion show

  • Michelyn Camen says:

    *jen lots of surprises ahead from our staff. Pretty much it’s a sure bet Mark isn’t applying lipstick anytime soon but he is the most fashion conscious of all of us and attends every Mercedes Benz fashion week he is also a men’s grooming expert and tests skincare marketed for women on himself and I have a very long history as a beauty editor

    But our focus is fragrance and interpreting the world thru our fifth sense

  • linda beth ross says:

    I just received a sample of this perfume and love it!!!!!!!! I cannot stop sniffing my wrists. Incredilby elegant ! Great summer scent but I can see wearing this year round. I would love to be entered in the draw . I need a full bottle of this.!!! I bet her skincare products are womderful as well. 

  • elise says:

    I definitely need a new summer scent! I spent 10 minutes this a.m. staring at my 'fume stash…I'm a spice lover so most of my scents are spicy and thick…would love something lighter just for summer!

  • sonia garcia says:

    Since I run out of my beloved Hierbas de Ibiza, I am looking for a new summer scent for 2011 and this one looks perfect! I love the notes that are mentioned and I hope I win this one! Crossing my fingers!!!

  • harper says:

    yes, i am in the market for a new summer scent as well.
    and this one sounds fabulous: the line-up of base-notes (everything i love is there) looks particularly promising.
    *and* i have a thing for natural perfume.
     
     
     

  • dleep says:

    The notes of this scent lovely and I could really use something uplifting. I am trying to get more into natural perfume and skin care and would love the opportunity to try this.

  • kastehelmi says:

    I would love to use exclusively natural skincare, but I'm never sure which are the best products for the best prices. I used to work in a natural food and body store, so I acquired some samples and half-testers of lotions, but I can't say I've found a holy grail lotion or bodywash quite yet. Liz Earle products sound like they would surely smell refreshing rather than odd (have smelled a lot of "interesting" skincare products)
    I really like the Liz Earle bottle and the color of the perfume. If it's a natural Chypre with some fresh uplifting qualities it should be elegant and really stand out as a summer fragrance.

  • Denise Smith says:

    A summer scent sounds so appealing, it seems most people love summer, I do not.
    Maybe this could help me enjoy the heat!
    Denise 

  • Michelyn Camen says:

    Denise I dislike the summer too unless it’s in a home by a lake with no ticks and lots of shady trees where there is a breeze. heat humidity makes me wilt but such is a Pitta person. Now you can now understand my obsession with Botanical Essence

  • Laura Matheson says:

    A while back I read about Liz Earle's Botanical Essence on Trish's Scent Hive blog and was very keen to try it (but as yet have not).  The listed notes are all lovely to me and I particularly like cardamom.  I would love to be entered into this draw.  Thanks

  • Natalia says:

    can you ever have enough summer scents? they make you happy as you associate you with the sun…

  • Felicia G says:

    Well, I am always looking for a seasonal  fragrance fling! This one sounds lovely! I dont appreciate the unnatural, sticky and heavy compounds used in some "summer" scents. I want a clean finish that lingers in the breeze just enough to tell everyone that I have been there and no more!
    The nearly 100% natural aspect is appealing to me as it is always in good judgement to use natural products on our biggest organ, our skin.
    Thanks I love you guys:) 

  • JoanElaine says:

    I LOVE lavender in perfumes and would love to try Liz Earle Botanical Essence.
    I could use a new summer scent. I was wearing Roger and Gallet Thé Vert in summer, but my husband drained the bottle spraying his pillows before bed!

  • naheed says:

    That's so wonderful! So many works by her. I would love to be added in the drawing, mainly because I am always on the look for natural ingredients used in fragrances as well in cosmetics. The bottle design is simple yet beautiful and the notes seem to work in all seasons.

  • Sarah says:

    Oh the Liz Earle cleanse and polish! I bow down and worship! C’est magnifique! I stray away from it at times but always come back…
