Periscope spring summer scent testing

Spring summer scent testing at Wen house.

https://www.periscope.tv/w/aMvuijExNjA4OTA4fDFZcEtrT0JEUnB3S2qviF0W-4otztMr0iYaJ3UezW-QJPlkV6-m95ewGwTjSA==

So Chaz was being very sneaky and careful not to give too much away. They were smelling and testing various combinations for new scents. They were testing scents for spring and summer 2017!

A few of the combinations they talked about

One was definitely: Creamy Coconut, grapefruit, guava.....and a secret scent he wouldn't tell. A few people made chat comments iew to guava. He said don't be afraid of Guava it smells amazing

He also said:
Coconut vanilla
Pineapple
Red grapefruit

Sometimes he just used initials.

Gp, Rg, Pl

I'm thinking RG is red grapefruit. But I don't know about the rest.

ETA: someone made a comment in chat "please don't get rid of summer honey peach" and Chaz said it's not going anywhere.

I would love a grapefruit scented formula. I love citrus scents and still use pink grapefruit body products from the body shop. I don't believe that you will see any of the summer scents retired since they all appear to be very popular.

Loved listening in on this one. Very excited about him doing a ruby grapefruit. So over coconut though but a lot of people really love it. I think it will take a lot for SHP to get retired. After summer 16 it will just pop up from time to time. I got the hint about pineapple a few days back, but I think he plans to mix it with coconut.

Coconut vanilla......oh, that will be my favorite if that comes out! Love those two ingredients!

Oooooh these sound good! I like all of these smells. Obviously the combination is the key!

OKay, the summer honey peach not going anywhere comment was a dream come true!

I like the idea of creamy coconut, guava CAN smell fantastic and I am sure Chaz would do it right.

No on the grapefruit (everyone knows my disdain for citrus, lol).

Pineapple, hm, I dont know. I love to eat pineapple but not sure I've ever had a pineapple body or hair product. Seems like it could go horribly wrong if not careful.

How fun to hear the ideas!

Milk and honey would make an excellent summer or even Fall scent.

Most of them sound like scents I would at least try. I love coconut but I really don't care for vanilla scents so that would be a big no for me.

Grapefruit! Sign me up! Seriously any of these sound amazing to me!

I'd have to agree. I don't think that would really go well anyway because creamy coconut paired with a vanilla would almost be competing scents. True coconut scent is fairly light and, as we know, many vanillas can be pretty strong.

If you guys are going to go that direction, I'd have to pull and dust out my old and almost forgotten suggestion for a new Seasonal Scent - Fall Honey Bourbon Whisky.

or Spring Margaritas Break, or ....

oh well, I am already too embarrassed

I like the summer scents but really would prefer another summer formula without coconut and don't really like vanilla either. Although, to me the SCLV is more lime than coconut which I prefer.

@Brdwygurl thank you so much for sharing this information, keeping us in the loop about the upcoming fragrances, and continuing to share the periscope links. I really appreciate it!!!

Coconut is a tough one for me. The Summer Mango Coconut was fine because it was like a pina colada (which I like), but I didn't really like the Summer Coconut Lime Verbena (SCLV). The scent had a few different things going on (coconut, lime, and verbena) and, to me, it didn't smell as though they blended well together. Some people said that you could hardly smell the coconut, but I could smell it loud and clear (lol, I think I've heard folks say the same thing about my precious Fall Apple Spice (FAS)).

Because I'm really hooked on the Seasonals, I'll probably pick up one for next summer just to try it out. -- A lot of people seem to like the coconut scents, so I'm happy for them about this upcoming scent.

I love the idea of a true, light coconut scent......as in, I'm on the beach, toes in the sand, sitting beneath the sea grape trees, crack open a fresh coconut and inhale. Clean, light, delicate, softly sweet coconut......would love that for summer. (Well, technically my man would be the one cracking open the coconut, but that's a whole 'nother story.....)

@sonechko I'm right there with 'ya on the bourbon. I think I had mentioned that a couple of years ago......Fall/winter Bourbon Milk Punch. I loooove vanilla, if it's deep and rich and vanilla, I don't like sweet, sugary vanillas. I want to smell like that, I'll go to the bakery and eat a doughnut 😃

@HappyDaze I agree, we need a Milk and Honey formula, faintly scented, no amino acids, extra moisturizing, available year round!

@Susan25 how bad is this- I TOTALLY forgot about SCLV! I was trying to rack my brain what the last summer seasonal was and couldn't think of it. Then when you wrote SCLV, I had to rack my brain trying to remember what it stood for, lol!! yikes.

I wish I could smell the coconut in SMC and SCLV. All I smell in SMC is mango (which I don't mind at all - the scent is great). If I didn't know that there was coconut in the SCLV I wouldn't have been able to tell based on the scent.

I'm fine with another coconut scent. Just keep vanilla out of it! That's one that I wouldn't even consider trying.

I agree. I don't smell any coconut in SCLV at all.
