Yardley London is famous as a purveyor of luxury fragrances and soaps. Since the House of Yardley was established in 1770, lavender has remained their signature scent and they have dedicated themselves to understanding and appreciating every nuance of the plant.
In the 1930s, Yardley commissioned scientists to scour the globe for the most sought after varieties, which lead to the discovery of Lavandula Augustifolia. This unique species is still grown in England today and forms the basis of their signature range.
