When a new seasonal is available, is the old one discontinued immediately? I would think that they would be available until sold out but I am not sure.

I really like the spring orange blossom and see it is still available. When the summer seasonal is out, can one still get the spring seasonal?

Thanks!

[Hilary77]

In the past the seasonals are no longer available after the launch date of the next seasons seasonal. The last day to order spring orange blossom will probably be May 31st.

[JeanLouiseFinch]

Agreed. The summer formula will be available in June so the OP better stock up while she can.

[Hilary77]

The seasonal launch dates are: fall- Sept.1, winter-Dec. 1, spring-March1, and summer-June1. Hope this helps!

I was going to wait and buy the summer scent at the same time to save on shipping but I guess that won't be an option. I really like the orange blossom so am going to get another bottle this week.

Thanks so much!

Based on the December TSV product pattern for the last two years, you should have one more chance to purchase SOB in the December 2014 Wen TSV. For the last two years the December TSV has consisted of (5) 16oz bottles of Wen CC which include four Seasonals plus POM (which is soy based like the Seasonals). Based on this recent pattern, the December 2014 TSV should include (though there's no way to know for sure in advance):

* Spring 2014 Seasonal - SOB

* Summer 2014 Seasonal - SHP

* Fall 2014 Seasonal

* Winter 2014 Seasonal

* POM

That's right, bebe! Thank you for reminding me, too. I didn't think about being able to get more SOB in the Dec. tsv!! I love that SOB, lol!! It makes me feel better knowing I can get more later. I just hope Chaz continues this pattern with the seasonal tsv.

Hilary, it's been on my mind recently because I've been trying to figure out the best way to stock up on SOB in a cost effective manner. lol, I've posted a number of cost analysis breakdowns to get the best bang for the buck on TSVs, etc and I only just noticed a new way to look at this information.

I was trying to decide if I should go on the 32oz Seasonals CC A-D plan this fall because this would allow me to really stock up on a particular Seasonal that I liked. So I took a look at the real cost breakdown of the December Seasonals TSV versus the 32oz Seasonals CC A-D plan. I was surprised by the data shown below. The total cost including S&H of 32oz. of Seasonal CCs is $36 in the December TSV versus $56.72 for the 32oz. Seasonal A-D plan. Additionally, I'd have to start out by buying the 32oz. Fall Seasonal even if I didn't much like it.

Since I tend to use all of the Seasonals it's just so much more cost effective to purchase more of the December 2014 TSV (which is very likely to include the SOB, for the last time). I think I should be able to trade some of the other extra Seasonals for additional SOB. I also don't use as many pumps of Wen CCs per cleanse as most people do, so my CC bottles tend to last much longer. So I would never need a lot of bottles of any particular CC.

Well, that's my latest budgeting plan. -- bebe

You can always find any of the seasonals when they are no longer sold by QVC on Amazon. Some other sites sell Wen products, although, they might be more expensive.
