* Although I do not know if or when they will be in the US.
No shortage of choices! Ever since The Body Shop at my local mall disappeared years ago, the store has fallen off of my radar. Used to like their body butters, which are at a better price than L’Occitane’s.
Just about everything they make is a better price point than L’Occitane. But will be interesting to see how many of these chains survive the pandemic.
This is crazy sensory overload. Just like with what Gucci launched for their exclusive range. I hope this isn’t the new multi-launch trend.
That said, I would sniff all of these
I think the multi-launch trend is already old…
I meant with multiple formats as well. Oil, cologne, etc.
Oh yeah, that too! Hermes did it last time too.
Strange they don’t do shower gels of these. I’d try Amber Wonder and Red Fixation.
Too many launches all round – that’s 15 new fragrances. No samples to be had anywhere except the high street, which is where I am definitely not going at the moment. I think even people not obsessed about perfume are careful about buying scents unsniffed.
I question the business sense behind the strategy. Maybe it’s paying off as they keep doing it, or maybe they are just cannibalising their own market.
In any case, my nose can’t keep up and my interest wanes. Even if I do appreciate and respect the body shop and what they do generally.
