Crabtree and Evelyn

If you’ve put your hands thru hard time… you probably should have a tube of CB’s hand cream.
I look for fast absorbance, moisturing, nice scent and non greasy in hand cream and CBs does it all. Especially for autumn and winter. It leaves your skin nice and smooth after application. I swear my hands look younger after applying it. haha along with lots of fragrance to choose from… they come up with new ones every six months sometime sooner… so expect a lot of sniffing time when you are there… their latest one is Verbana & Lavender. Very good like all their hand cream. The scent itself is very soothing, fresh and clean. Really love it.
Other choices like the tarocoo orange if u prefer a more citrusy note or pomegranate was also my choice. Just go sniff it out.
One thing tho. I have four dogs. And its best not to apply a huge amount or even not when you are gonna be playing with them coz in their hand cream ingredients, it contains macadamia nuts, which is not good for dogs. dunno about other pets… but as much as I love my furry friends I still pick CBs hand cream out of many other brands…
Because it does what hand cream should do, very well.
Usually £14.00 for 100g
£5.00 for 50g… smaller tubes ideal for testers

I felt a little sad I wasn’t weak at the knees for this shop. Bodyshop, Lush, L’Occitane, make it smell good and at least pretend the ingredients are semi-​natural, and I’m sold. However, I never really bought into the products at Crabtree & Evelyn; I feel it’s a bad combination of L’Occitane prices and Bodyshop products, which have more chemicals in them than they’d like us to believe. I know it sounds like I’m uncovering some conspiracy here, but I’m frankly tired of having my emotions played with.
If you are looking for some wonderfully presented products that smell divine, and are not too picky about what’s in them… well it’s on Hanover Street. Good luck.

Ok, I hear what Gavin M is saying, but you have no idea how good a girl feels when she knows her ‘assscrack’ smells like roses. Seriously, it’s like walking on sunshine.
They have amazing scents in here, and all of them leave you smelling like you’re just fallen into a fluffy rose cloud with sunshine and puppies. Unlike similar products, soaps and lotions from Crabtree hang around for hours so you can always remind yourself of how good your asscrack smells.

It never ceases to amaze me, that girls will happily wander round a shop like this for hours, browsing soaps, talcums and lotions, none of which appear to do anything out of the ordinary apart from smell a bit whimsical.
IT’S JUST SOAP, AND WILL STINK WHEN YOU RUB IT ON YOUR ARSECRACK ANYWAY.
I don’t see the point, but if it makes you happy then fair enough.

I’ve always enjoyed using Crabtree and Evelyn products, and I especially like browsing around the stores. This Edinburgh branch is fantastic, just the right size with friendly staff who try and accommodate you as much as they can.
I always buy my auntie special soap from here for Xmas which she loves. It is gorgeous and rather unusual with a crabapple and mulberry scent. It comes in a lovely patterned sleeve with brightly coloured flowers. It’s only £5 when it looks much much more than that.
Perfect for gifts or a wee smelly treat for yourself!

Crabtree and Evelyn is great for treating yourself and it’s a guaranteed winner for presents for mums and other female relatives, the fancy packaging and instore service ensures that you will always leave with a pretty gift and don’t have to worry about trying to make it look presentable as my wrapping is far from competent.
I sometimes find branches such as Crabtree and Evelyn/L’Occitane/Jo Malone etc. can be quite snooty and you usally get the sales pitch as soon as you walk in the door. This is a great little branch and although it isn’t huge I was left to browse at my leisure when I popped in last week and didn’t feel like the shop assistants were staring at my every move.
They had a little sale section and I snapped up a couple of rose and lavender travel sets, one for my holidays and one for my mum. My mum really love lavender but I’m a huge fan of rose scented goodies and the smell of these babies are to die for.
