Freesia Cologne by Yardley - box design, c1965

Yardley's are a long-established British perfumier - once based in Stratford, East London and famous for Lavender products, they moved out of town many years ago and now, I think, survive only as a brand. This 'Freesia" box still has its contents, a bottle of cologne, and brings back for me the oddest memories - my late grandmother, who died in 1970, used Freesia and the scent reminds me so much of her.

 

I quite like the strangely colourful abstract pattern.
