Creamy coconut wasn't one of the offical classic scents they brought back but GT&C was. One store I went to had a ton of creamy coconut stuff, but all we had were some splashes. I wish I had more time to check out other stores.

I didn't see any GT & C either.

I also didn't see any Rich Citrus Cream even though I had it in mind to get some.

When I went to the first BBW, they didn't have ANY splashes in Strawberry L, but at the other one I went to, that's mostly what they had.

I saw GT&C lotion yesterday, but I didn't smell it. I can't remember if I saw gel or splash in that scent.

That same store also had a lot of Creamy Coconut too.

I've heard lemongrass sage is a good mild mosquito repellant. Anyways, that's what I told my daughter (6) who got eaten alive the other night. I sprayed a bunch of splash all over her tonight & she was happy and the room smelled great - let's hope it works!

I believe Juniper Breeze also keeps the mosquitos away.

Hi Edward - The Searcy store I was in yesterday had it in the lotion and if memory serves the body splash.

I saw a couple bottles of RCC yesterday. I picked one up and could have sworn I put it in my bag. However, when I got home, no RCC!

To me the only scent that ALWAYS seems "off" to me is the coco cabana.

I didn't even attempt to sniff this one at all this time.

I fell in love with the flowering herbs and I think that I might have to get another lotion & splash in this one.

I have only been into BBW for about 6 years, but you wouldn't know it, with all of the older scents I have accumulated over those years. There are only just a few scents now that I haven't tried.

I would love to try the wheatberry and the sugared maple someday.

I tried that Coco Cabana one more time, trying to love it since my store had it today for 75% off. However, it just wasn't meant to be!

On a positive note, I used my Peach Nectar shower gel and lotion last night. Someone already mentioned that the shower gel is awesome and it's even more so than the lotion in my opinion as well. But the combination is the best to me. Together, they brought back so many fond memories of yester year!! I don't think I've slept that good in a while. Oh goodness, I think I'm getting weepy. Needless to say, I went back to BBW today and got 2 more bottles of shower gel. I just don't plan on running out anytime soon, I don't want to limit how often I use it for fear of running out. And I'm sure I'll buy more as the sale progresses! Of course, I can buy it online now, but the price just isn't as attractive! I spritzed on some splash going out the door and I was a happy camper all the way to BBW.

I have a green tea and cucumber lotion that someone gave me as a freebie in a MUA swap. I can't stand it. It doesn't smell off though. Probably one of the only bbw scents I really don't like. I don't want it. I could fraffle it I suppose. Should I fraffle it?

what is fraffle?

Amanda, there's a room dedicated to swapping and fraffles on the main page. If there's something you want to send for free people can say they'd like to have their name in the fraffle. Then when the designated time is up the person throwing the fraffle draws a name and someone gets something for free! So basically it's a free raffle.

fraffle = free raffle

On one of the forums here people will offer an item for free and give an ending date for a drawing. Interested folks will enter their names and hope to win.

Jinx olfactorygirl!

Actually fraffle stands for Fryl Raffle!!
Don't you guys remember? I coined the term when I raffled off the first item.

Ah - interesting! Sometimes I don't read all the boards, so I must have missed that discussion.

How cool Fryl! I thought that was a long-used term from MUA or some other board, but no, it was started right here by one of the board's own!

I saw Green Tea and Cucumber at my sale in Body Cream 75% off...

And what do you all think of that updated Creamy Coconut splash??? I hate it-I like the cuter coconut on the lotions and shower gels.

Fraffles are fun

Some of the stores I went to had the old packaging, and some of them had the updated packaging for Creamy Coconut, with the real picture of a coconut. I would much rather have the old packaging, and the Creamy Coconut items I bought yesterday.. I made sure to get the old packaging.

I prefer the new packaging. I actually looked for an updated CC lotion, but it wasn't availble.

TDJ, I just noticed that you shortened your name!

Anyway, I like the new CC packaging better. I know many hard core packaging collectors would disagree, but I just don't really care for the old cartoony labels that much. I like the artsy photography look.
