Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! I had been looking for a new scent for ages, but couldn’t find one that I liked that wasn’t overpowering, but where the fragrance lasted all day. Botanical essence no 1 is just what I was looking for, it is light, citrusy with woody base notes and lasts all day.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from amazing 😍 Liz Earle Botanical Essence N°1 Eau de Parfum It is a beautifully crafted fragrance that feels both elegant and effortlessly natural. It opens with a fresh, uplifting brightness that gradually settles into a soft, botanical warmth, evoking the calm of a garden in full bloom. The scent strikes a perfect balance between lightness and depth, making it suitable for everyday wear while still feeling special enough for evenings. Its longevity is impressive without being overpowering, lingering gently on the skin in a way that feels clean and sophisticated, it’s a refined, nature-inspired perfume that embodies understated luxury and timeless appea.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Still love it despite the changed formula! I've used this since it was first launched and still love it. However, what a shame that the oak moss was dropped from the ingredients - it hasn't got the same staying power and there's definitely something 'missing' from the scent now. Sadly another example of the company messing around with tried and tested formulations.

Hi, are your perfumes paraben/phtalate free? Many thanks, Lisa

Asked by: Lisalu
I actually don't think this answer is good enough. I have No1 and No9 and they both list parfum as an ingredient - so I take it to mean yes and therefore despite the fancy claims I won't be using Liz Earle perfumes any more.

Asked by: Carlos Buitrago

What is the shelf life on the perfumes, unopened and open?.

Asked by: Ma126
I keep perfume in its box and in the dark/ cool. I have found this particular fragrance has lasted well once opened and continues to smell amazing for a year or more. I’ve usually finished the bottle by then so it may be much longer. I can’t comment on how long it last unopened.

Do you do fragrance samples to purchase before buying a full sized bottle as I find perfumes very hard to buy!

Asked by: Katherine Nicholls
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately, we don't have samples of our Botanical Essence to send to customers. We used to have 2ml vials, but they were getting damaged in transit, so we have stopped including these with our customers orders. You will find our counters in all large Boots and John Lewis stores, where an advisor will allow you to try any products at the counter, and may be able to provide you with a small sample. You will also find a brief description of our Botanical Essence here on our website https://www.lizearle.com/content/find-your-perfect-botanical-essence.html Alternatively, it may help you to know, that we have a generous 60 day returns policy should you find any products unsuitable and need to return them to us for a refund https://www.lizearle.com/help-centre/customer-centre/returns-and-refunds/returns-and-refunds.html We hope this information helps - The Customer Care Centre Team

Is this the new No 1 perfume with different ingredients? 

Asked by: Chris17
Hi there, thanks for getting in touch. We have maintained the current botanicals within our fragrance so that the finish of the scent you know and love remains unchanged. However, we have needed to tweak the parfum of Botanical Essence™ No.1 slightly to comply to updated European regulations. We do have a great 60 day returns policy, should you find any products you purchase with us direct, unsuitable. We hope this information helps however, should you require any further assistance with this, we would ask you to kindly contact our Customer Centre by calling 01983 813913, or email naturallyactive@lizearle.com - The Liz Earle Customer Centre Team
