Many of you must be familiar with this sales outlet. I was searching for lavender talcum powder as what I now get - the Yardley brand - is not what it used to be . I have been using this brand for many years Since I am not happy with it I did a search and found it at Marks and Spencer.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Do you use talcum powder and what is your brand?

I haven't used talcum powder in years, but it always smells so nice.

I use Yardley talcum power. Using it since my childhood and never wanted to change the brand. The cost of this talcum powder is somewhat high comparing it with other brands.

Interesting. I too have been using this for years but since the last couple of years or so I see the quality going down. I even reported and their representatives came over and they agreed. I waited for two years and ordered a few days ago. It has become worse.
Are you ordering directly from the UK?

@Lignitecityabishek96 The picture is the same but nowadays all foreign brands are made in India and they are nowhere compared to the original I got disappointed when I bought 'Belgian' chocolates from Amazon and the quality was poor.
I have ordered for this lavender from Marks and Spencer directly but I do not know whether this is also made in India Keeping my fingers crossed.

@allknowing The one which I am buying is original. From the fragrance itself we can guess. If I apply the yardley power, the entire house can feel the fragrance for few minutes.

I have not used talcum powder in years or decades. Sometimes I buy Johnson and Johnson baby powder for my elder daughter. She gets sweaty palms in long examination and it helps to keep her palms dry.

I have also used Cinthol for a while. But my brand was always Yardley until I found the quality deteriorating Do you get the original product?

@allknowing Never bought any M&S online before. Usually I stop by in their flag store to buy some foods, especially in HK

@allknowing they're for babies but it's good for my skin. I find the other talcum powder would cause me breakout.
