Yardley polaire gift set review and giveaway

Thanks to a crazy month at work I seem to have completely lost track of time and it suddenly hit me this weekend that there are now just 10 days left till Christmas! Needless to say I've yet to make a start on my Christmas shopping, but luckily for us last minute shoppers there are some great gift sets in store this year. Yardley have always brought out budget friendly perfumes, and this year I think the Polaire gift set is their best one yet:

Yardley polaire gift set - RRP £19.99*

Whereas in the past they've focused on more mature single note scents, Polaire is a rather glamorous mix of pear, freesia, rose, ginger, pink pepper, amber and patchouli. The whole concept was inspired by the art deco era of the 1920s and I like that they've branched out from their usual rectangular perfume bottles. This design just feels a bit more modern and the faux crystal lid helps to add some decadence. 

Perfume wise it's sweet and floral with just a touch of powder and spice, perfect for mums and older sisters or for those days when you want something a bit more grown up and sophisticated. There's a rather nice quick absorbing body lotion too.

Now onto the best bit - Yardley have kindly offered to give away 2 Polaire gift sets. I'm going to be hosting this giveaway on Twitter, but for more information and to enter, click here.
