can someone explain to me what makes this winter white? i get the citrus (grape fruit, tangerine, orange) but what makes it white? the only thing i can find is the chamomile but that's further down on the ingredient list and doesn't seem like a main component..

I posted above that the bath and body works scent has the exact same name. I am thinking that is where they got the name from and the white doesn't really represent anything but it similar to the bath and body works scent. Google it and you will see what I am trying to say.

  • Top Notes: Lemon Zest, Sparkling Grapefruit, Juicy Tangerine
  • Mid Notes: Mandarin NP, Ginger Flower, Water lily, Apricot Nectar, Lilly of the Valley, Freesia
  • Dry Notes: Clean Woods, Sheer Musk
  • These are the ingredients in the bath and body works scent.

DH says my Wen stock has reached its quota, I've been cut off. Guess I won't be trying the new seasonal this time around. Can't wait to see what everyone thinks of it!

The ingredient list is up for the WWC I do not think it's going to smell anything like the BBW scent. It will be minty with the orange and grapefruit and there is clove oil in the mix to. The BBW scent is actually more floral perfume with citrus.

I love the smell of the Winter Vanilla Mint, but it leaves my hair feeling dry and I have to combine it with Fig or follow it up with Fig to make it work for me. Sad, because I don't like the smell of Fig and Winter Vanilla Mint is heavenly.

Winter Cranberry Mint was not may favorite scent, but I do like it. It's a light cranberry and I don't really pick up any mint in it. Winter Cranberry Mint is way more moisturizing for my hair and, of all the seasonals so far, I think has been the most effective for my hair. I'm picking up the 32-oz on auto-delivery. I'll buy a 16-oz WWC* to try, as well.

My hair is naturally dry, wavy/curly, and prone to frizz, especially in humidity. I color it every 5-6 weeks.

*HA! QVC will not even allow me to type the name of the new winter seasonal, the forum gave me an error, EVEN THOUGH IT'S ALREADY AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE. I swear, never in my life have I come across such ridiculously over-moderated forums. These forums treat us like children.

Thank you ChynnaBlue! You've answered my question about WVM. I had a 6 oz WMV from many years ago and have used it as a leave in, but I wasn't sure if it would work for cleansing since I need moisture and use mainly Fig. The seasonals that I've tried just don't work for my hair Smiley Sad I love WMV scent, I so wish it actually were as moisturizing as Fig. Thankfully the Fig scent doesn't bother me, but I wish other formulas were as moisturizing so I could switch it up more than just mixing TT & SAM with Fig.

You may be right but I still am looking forward to the new winter seasonal.

Hi Lady.

I had a similar question about the Winter Seasonal, so I emailed Chaz's website. Here is their reply:

Thank you for contacting us. The Winter seasonals are all equally hydrating, there is not one more hydrating then another. They are very comparable to the fig with hydration, they are actually contain a blend of amino acids and peptides that are found in the Sixthirteen.

It was very nice of them to e-mail you a response. However for my hair type I do not agree with this statement at all. I love Fig and it's very moisturizing. For my hair type I could not use the WCM by itself at all. Extremely drying for my hair. I ended up being able to use the bottle only when I started combining with the Fig.

the new winter seasonal sounds like it might be citrus and a little spicey. The ingredients made me think of mulling spices. Could be interesting. Cant wait to try it

I think many of us will disagree with the response letter. My hair needs a lot of moisture, and I've tried all the seasonals until the latest from being in the A/D programs. I'm a Fig and TT gal, and while I love trying the seaonals, the Fig or TT aren't the best scents to blend with others! I've had to add them to all of them, the least of which would be #1 Honey Peach (wish I bought more!) and WVM. I can use 613 sparingly, and that helps as a leave-in if I know it'll really clash otherwise.

I think the responses to the seasonal CC's have been pretty similar on the board. I decided not to buy the Spiced Pear as most of the thick/coarse-haired wavy/curly/frizzy people weren't getting enough moisture. Green Tea (Summer) was one most felt wasn't moisturizing enough. I wish I'd tried it in time as I never thought I'd use one to shave with or wash my face, and i actually am as it was awful for my hair!

I hope Winter will be one of the more moisturizing, that would make me so happy! I love Bath and BWs WC, though the ingredients sound a bit different. They may compliment the scent if wearing the leave-in hair products!

I hope that it isn't at all spicy since I don't really like spicy body products and probably wouldn't be able to use it. If the spice is very subtle I am sure that I will be able to mix with other cleansing conditioners.
