Crabtree & Evelyn Pomegranate Collection

Since my first foray with Crabtree & Evelyn a few months ago I have been quite taken with the brand.

Just before year end I was sent some products from their lastest range of bodycare - the Pomegranate Collection.

My favourite from the collection is the body wash which I just cannot get enough of. C&E's Pomegranate body wash is a sophisticated but festive range and although the holiday season is over, it's still a gorgeous range for the cold winter months and dark nights.

The fragrance is quite subtle with not just scent of pomegranate but hints of mulberry and mistletoe. The texture of the product is so silky soft ... it's a shower time delight. My skin is left feeling clean, fresh and almost satin like and that's before I moisturise.

I am really impressed with Crabtree & Evelyn products and the great thing is they have a sale on at the moment ... with the Pomegranate range reduced. I am going to purchase some more of the body wash along with the hand wash and body cream.

I'd love to know what everyone else likes from Crabtree & Evelyn as I expand my collection.

Iris

I woke up to a lovely surprise package last week, something I hadn't expected at all.

It was a bottle of Crabtree & Evelyn's new fragrance, Iris. This is my first ever dabble with this brand and I have to say so far it's been a very pleasant one.

Iris (Eau de toilette) comes in a rather chunky 100ml bottle which surprisingly only costs £24. What a bargain ... however it's only a bargain if it smells good. And it does. I have been wearing everyday with compliments aplenty.

Iris has a vintage feel about it from the design of the bottle to the artwork to the fragrance itself. With top notes of natural Italian bergamot and cassis and base notes of exotic sandalwood, patchouli, fresh vetiver, natural cedarwood and creamy musk it sounds like a busy concoction but works very well to deliver a sensuous, fresh but subtle scent.

The artwork for Iris was designed by Bella Towse, a graduate of Central St Martin's whose inspiration came from her parents garden. A simple and delicate illustration of an Iris is etched on the bottle, an attractive addition to the dressing table.

Crabtree & Evelyn's Iris is also available in body and home products. Why don't you try before you buy and request a sample here.

Now that I have been introduced to this brand, I think I'd like to look further. Does anyone have any Crabtree & Evelyn recommendations?
