Woods Of Windsor Lily Of The Valley Body Dusting Powder With Puff for Women, 3.5 Ounce

This brand is great. Took a while to get it. Order before you run out.

Fresh scent not overwhelming!

The reviews here are baffling. I can't believe how many people don't know how to open the container of a box of powder with a puff! This is NOT some new design, this is how boxes of body powder have been made for generations.Some people complained that the ribbon "handle" pulled right off when they pulled on it. Others complained that their powder box didn't have a ribbon "handle" at all. I can appreciate that the manufacturer might be leaving the ribbons off now, for the simple reason that so many people are confused by it! Spoiler alert: It's NOT a handle! The box opens by holding the cylinder by its sides, giving a slight twist to get it started, and lifting the entire cylinder up. Helpful hint - use both hands. One to hold the box by the bottom rim and the other to lift off the sides and top all in one piece. I can't believe that people are actually cutting their way into the box! Egad.As for the product itself, it has a light floral scent, but if it's Lily of the Valley it's very vaguely Lily of the Valley. It smells more like a mix of florals rather than one note, and I don't recognize Lily of the Valley in there at all. It's an OK fragrance, but it smells fairly generic to me, and definitely not upscale. It also seems to fade quickly once applied. Generally I can still notice the scent of body powders for at least several hours, but this one faded almost immediately. That said, it is still talc, and very smooth and silky on the skin. Much moreso than, say, cornstarch based products. But class action suits against Johnson & Johnson for alleged cancer caused by use of their talcum powder has resulted in many manufacturers discontinuing use of talc in body powder (it's still used in many other cosmetics), even though after much scientific research and numerous studies, the results have been inconclusive and there has never been any definitive proof that asbestos contamination in the talc has actually ever caused gynecological cancers. But if you want to avoid talc, don't buy this one.

The powder scent is light but perfect...nice scent.

The media could not be loaded. Lily of the Valley smells like 1985 grandma's bathroom. Shell shaped soap you can't use, and wallpaper.It's pretty strong for a body powder although it doesn't announce your presence to the world before you walk into a room.It's pleasant once it's simmered down a bit. Don't use a lot or you're going to be that yucky smelling girl/woman at school, work, or the check out line for coffee that everyone opens their eyes wide to in order to silently announce -Does everyone else smell that?I have very sensitive skin and it makes my skin burn a bit. I passed it on to a friend.Watch video if you want to know how to open this.

Packaging is horrible. You have to tear the lid up to get it open. I bought this because I love the Lily of the Valley scent and am so disappointed! You can barely detect a scent at all. Might as well be straight talcum powder.

Very smooth & silky. Nice fragrance. Very feminine.

Oh what can I say about true talcum? Many of the powder products are using cornstarch. Cornstarch is a thickener. When you add it to fluid it makes a gluey, clumpy mess. If I'm sweating I don't want to have put cornstarch on my body to make a sticky feeling. I'm not making gravy here people! I'm trying to stay fresh and dry with a light scent. This actually fills the bill. It keeps you fresh and dry with a silky feeling. I highly recommend. And the container is very cute with a little powder Puff that is great for easy application. It does not disappoint. Yardley is a trusted tried and true product and comes in many scents. This is a very nice one.
