Now what could be in this box?


Could it be?.......


Yes! NOS puck of Yardley English Lavender that is about 80 years old with the wrapper label still intact.


Well, was intact......and it has the wax paper still in place:

Very cool!

Thanks! And same question about the hydration/soaking.

The yardley puck will soak up a little more water but a simple pre-bloom the night before and a regular bloom before use should do the job. Don’t try to remove the puck, there is a lip in the bowl that holds it in nice and tight.

Thanks, CBL. Did the same with this one and the other one; bloomed it for about 10 minutes and gave it a test lather. No problem. Looking forward to using this!
