Winter Red Currant

qtrmoonlady1 — Thu, 08 Dec 2016 13:25:08 GMT

Finally got my 32 oz. CC WRC yesterday and I'm happy to say that I love it and am not in the least disappointed! The scent is, I think, much softer than the WCM, and I find it intoxicating. I used it as a 2nd cleanse this morning, with PJP and Fig for my 1st, and my curls came out soft and full. I'm going to give it a 5 star review and want to buy the other products in this scent as well. I'll even buy the RTM. I hope Chaz offers us some good deals tomorrow with this scent, and I hope those of you who buy it are as happy with it as I am.

IMHO, Chaz has another winner.

Me too! I got mine and I used it this morning first and second cleanses and WOW!!! I love it too! I grabbed the styling creme in it when Chaz did black Friday but I want to get more stuff in it. It's a lovely, fresh, soft scent. Nicely done, Chaz, as usual!

@77yangya I love how the scent lingers in my hair, but it's subtle, not at all overpowering. I think this will wind up being one of my favorite cc's. Is there a gallon size of it in my future?

@qtrmoonlady1Can you describe what it smells like?

@HSB1204 It isn't a floral scent, and I don't know what currant smells like, so I couldn't say if it's true to that name, but I'd say it was a sort of berry or herb scent, but softer, more refreshing and less sharp than the Winter Cranberry Mint. To me it seems like an appropriate scent for winter, reminds me of warm cider by a fireside, or a walk in a snowy forest in the evening.

@qtrmoonlady1 I think I might have to try it instead of waiting until my TSV shipment. I was excited about the red currant (I think it is a tart berry scent) but was afraid the scent would be too dominated by the other essential oils in the formula like rose and patchouli the way that the WVWP is dominated by sandalwood (imo).

However, I am more optimistic now. I actually almost liked the WCM but just found it too cloying and almost artificial smelling. I was hoping to get through the season with only WVM purchases but now I am not so sure!

thanks for the info!

Thanks @qtrmoonlady1! It sounds interesting.

@kesstrain Well, I hope you like both the scent and the performance. I will be buying the styling creme set tomorrow, and maybe another RC CC. Wish I could see Chaz's live shows but have to work. My DVR will be busy tomorrow!

Thanks @qtrmoonlady1 for the review. I should have mine soon. I can't wait to try it.

Mr.Brown Pants let me down! I got the oil but my CC is still in South San Francisco. Well the scent is very different and hard to categorize. Weirdly, it seems like Fall and Spring to me but doesn't say Winter. Still hoping my CC comes tomorrow and that the Styling Trio comes out. Even if I don't buy more CC after the 32oz., this will be nice mousse and oil to use with 319.

@KjelleDoes it smell at all like a berry to you or what seems to be the most dominating scent?

I am chomping the bit to get my WRC in the second Fall TSV AD, it's not due to ship until the 22nd, aaarrrrrgggghhhh! I've looked at the order over and over and cannot edit it to ship sooner. All the descriptions make it sound like a winner for me, like WCM and WVM were. Of all the seasonals, more of the Winters work for me than any other grouping.

@HSB1204 I don't smell Berry at. I smell the Rose, like fading rose and a little fresh greenery.

Thanks @Kjelle. I'm not a rose fan so I hope I won't smell that too much.

@HSB1204 I am not a Rose fan either but I think I will not be overpowered. It does have a freshness to it. That's why I said it is a Fall and Spring for me. The scent is not strong and bright like Summer- it's like the fading scent blowing on a Fall wind to me. Sorry to get so poetic! But I can see also myself smelling it on a walk after it rains in the Spring which is when I enjoy SGGT so much. 🤗

@Kjelle I'm glad to hear that it's not overpowering. I liked WCM at first but the scent lingered in my hair to the point where I just couldn't stand it anymore. So I'm definitely for something light! I still have to wait several weeks to smell the WRC since my AD of the September TSV doesn't ship until the end of December. Oh well, I'll just have to be patient! I'm hesitant to buy any ODOs in WRC without having smelled it, though.

@HSB1204 Let me know what you think when you do smell it.

@KjelleWill do! Based on the descriptions so far it sounds like a very interesting scent.
