Oh gosh @77yangya You got that fast! I still have a Josie product from over 2 weeks ago in processing! Maybe Chaz is making sure his items get out.. I had no idea what the new scents were, they both sound wonderful!

Excellent! I hope I get one with Toby's gallon. My Love is on waitlist, but before month-end I have to get th 613. Both of those sound fabulous & I'm not generally a Fall girl...well, except for FFA.

I know, right? I could not believe when I was tracking it that it said out for delivery. It took only three days! I think it's because it arrived UPS all the way. When it goes to the post office, now you have to wait five to seven more days IF your lucky. I'd rather pay extra to ship it and get it toot sweet.

I could not believe it. When the truck showed up, I ran to the door and the guy was parked outside in the truck and I'm saying, COME ON! LOL!!! He then appeared with the box! He handed it to me and I forgot how heavy it was but I just ran to the kitchen to unbox it. I pulled it out and NEVER saw a Wen Men in a gallon before. I just stood there looking at it! hahaha! Anyway, I said, okay, let me dispatch this box. I started taking out the packing material and saw what I thought was one of the brochures that they used to send, and said oh, I hope they're not sending these again, I hate to toss them, they're so pretty and informative but I have them and looked at two packets that were perforated together which looked like a "book". I was holding it in my hand thinking whaaaaa?? LOL What a stup, right? So I kept looking and thought, Oh, I have Red Currant. Then it dawned on me, I saw the writing and the gorgeous colors and said OH! WOWEEEE!!!! I get to try two of the new ones I've heard about! I was jumping up and down, my husband was just rolling his eyes like, big deal. LOL!!!!!!! When I heard Chaz and World Traveler mention these two, I thought, these are gonna be boss!!! Crazy good!!!!!

@77yangya - Oh, please give us a description of each to the best of your ability. I'm not able to do overly flowery or strong scents - think, WRC, PJP.

I'm about the same for scents as @World Traveler. However, I don't think has received her shipments as yet.

Thank You - Riley1

Hi, Riley1, I'll try, I'm not good at it like some and I consider myself good with words, but I'll give it the ol' college try! I'm enjoying my Wen Men gallon too! I used it yesteray morning for the first time. I forgot how beautiful it is, I haven't used it in a while, I've been using the 32s from the TSV that started in Dec. of 2019. I wanted to have my husband post a picture of the packets, they're so pretty, on here but I didn't want to ruin the surprise too much, ug...anyway, I think these are gonna be more fruity because one is Winter Wild Berry and the other is Fall Pear Plum. Winter Red Currant is VERY tart but I love it and Peony is VERY floral but with the Jasmine, I love it!

I got these same samples in my Fragrance Free gallon too. I was also surprised.

I just received them today, so I haven't tried either. Just looking at the ingredients, I see that both have the honey and the teas extracts in them.

I have to say as a lover of raspberries, I think I'll like the Winter Wild Berry the most. 😉 It's funny that the seasonals I like best are all the Winter fragrances, which happens to also be my favorite season of the year.🤨😄

jaxs mom — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 17:25:12 GMT

Oh that's exciting. I haven't ordered a gallon yet this year but I did order three sets that are already out for delivery. Both the new scents sound great.

Re: WHAT A SURPRISE!

Excuse the mutilated packets--I had to open them! 🤣

The Winter Wild Berry smells exactly like raspberries! Sweet, ripe raspberries. That's mainly what stands out to me. There's also another more earthy smell that I can't describe, maybe the combination of blackberries, honey or wild cherry. It's not one of the stronger scents compared to the other seasonals. I can envision enjoying this in the hot summertime as well as winter.

It also seems to be a lighter weight than some of the other seasonals, like my favorite WVM. I haven't used many of the seasonals, but it performs a lot like the Summer Honey Peach for me, only better. I couldn't believe how soft it left my hair! And it dried faster than the heavier formulas too.

I have somewhat longish, straight hair probably 40% gray. An adequate amount, but it's very fine. It left my hair soft and extremely manageable but not limp. I had just enough in the packet for one use, but I really like it--maybe better than any other formula I've tried.

I haven't tried the Fall Plum Pear yet, but upon first sniff, it seems to be quite subtle.

Hi geezerette! Thank you for posting the picture! These are so beautiful! Since I'm enjoying my Wen Men, I haven't opened the packs yet. I was on Chaz's fan page and people were asking about these and I saw that they are only with "some" gallons. Someone mentioned the blessing ones. I only got Wen Men but I did get it so I don't really know.

Hey, Doot Doots! Could you shed some light? I was under the impression every gallon came with this but after reading the above, I'm not so sure. Anyway, these will be available in full this fall and winter. Again, thank you for posting the picture. I held back from asking my husband to do this, (I don't know how) because I just was so thrilled about seeing them for the first time and you know how lovely Chaz makes his labels! I had no idea what I had in my hands! Leave it to Chaz to make things fun for us!!!!!!

Sorry to post twice, seriously. Wow, thank you for the description of these two I wanted to but I wasn't ready to use them and I did not want them to leak and make a mess but when I did open them I was gonna give my opinion, if fact, I still will. Anyway, thank you again for the info,geezerette!

I also received the new scents with Bella spirit indigo gallon and it says on the auto delivery I'll receive them again on the 2nd shipment. Only certain scents, Bella spirit and the strength, hope, light, etc come with the new scents and they will receive with the auto delivery too. I'm so excited to try the new scents, I've been using wen for 15 years now. Love Wen, I currently have 8 gallons now, I have waist length hair so I use plenty.

@geezeretteDoes the Plum Pear smell more on the fruity or floral side...Thanks for the info...

@quadmimi

I tried the Plum Pear last night. When I had first opened the packet and sniffed, it had a very subtle plum smell. But when I put it on my head in the shower, it was quite different. Very perfume-y to me. Quite frankly, I couldn't detect much plum or any pear at all. Not a bad fragrance, just not what I expected, given the definite raspberry dominance of the Wild Berry. This morning the scent has dissipated a lot, but I still can't smell any fruit notes. This one is just not for me, I'm afraid.

But I'm very sensitive to fragrance of any kind, so there are many of even the WEN scents that I don't like or use. I guess I'm not a very good judge to be giving a description!

As for tending floral or fruity, I'd say floral, since to me it doesn't smell much like any kind of fruit.

@geezeretteThank you, I like the fruity scents better also..The Wild Berry sounds like it's going to be my choice of new scents! Thank you..

riley1 — Sat, 06 Jun 2020 20:31:26 GMT

@geezerette - Thank you for the descriptions. As I'm scent sensitive as well, the Plum probably won't be for me, however, I might give the raspberry one a try.

@geezerette thank you for all the detailed info on these new scents. I may not even get them, since I ordered TT and WWF, not the more treatment-heavy formulas, but I don't really mind not getting them, since I now know, thanks to you, that I can't use either of them, they have the honey extracts I am allergic to. Since my gallons have not even shipped yet (!!!!!!!!!) I won't even know if I will get to smell them or not.

Re: WHAT A SURPRISE!

geezerette — Sat, 06 Jun 2020 23:09:21 GMT

@CamilleP

You're certainly welcome. It was one of the reasons I mentioned the honey. I know that most ladies love it, but I thought I remembered one or two people here that couldn't use any of the honey formulas. I do hope you get the sample packets though, so you can at least smell them!🥰

Let's try a shot of the ingredient list and see how that works:

Unfortunately that's as big as the site will allow. If you can enlarge your screen you can read them. Plum on the left, berry on the right. I don't know if the ingredient lists are available anywhere else yet. But this might help others that may have a concern about specific ingredients.

CamilleP — Sun, 07 Jun 2020 01:50:08 GMT

@geezerette I'll let you know if I do get the sample packets with my gallons, if I ever get them that is. I most sincerely wish I could use the honey-containing seasonals, as SHP was my all-time top CC, performance-wise, and nearly my favorite scent as well, only being topped by WVM. I honestly don't know what I'll do if Chaz stops making the old original seasonals now that he's doing new fall and winter formulas, I will have to drop back to only using the classic formulas and WWF if he keeps making it. I can also use BGT and FF in the rice formulas, and 319/613 in the soy formulas, but man will I miss my Fall Ginger Pumpkin and Winter Vanilla Mint if they do go away!!!
