No, you're not seeing things. I was perusing the bath board on MUA & found out this awesome info. They're coming back this holiday season!

This year's scents are:
I Love Licorice
Nutcracker Sweet
Spiced Gingersnap
Twisted Peppermint

Holiday Temptations 2009

Wow! There's going to be so much stuff this holiday season!

How exciting! I'm most excited for Spiced Gingersnap -- I wonder what Nutcracker Sweet will smell like?

I am SO excited! I love the 3-in-1's. I wonder if Nutcracker Sweet will be a vanilla cookie type scent. I am glad they are going to release some promising new items.

Hurray! I am so glad they are bringing temptations back. What I wouldn't give for some Cherry Pie Divine.....

I'm so excited to see this! Thanks for the info, Megan!

I'm guessing they're back just for the holidays, but as long as we get them back in some capacity there's hope for more in the future. I'm wondering about Nutcracker Sweet too...Maybe it will be similar to Pecan Passion?

ooh this is great news!
thanks for the info Megan!

Oh -- and I really like the retro 60s inspired designs. Hope they are new formulas and not repacked ones (i.e. Sugar and Spice which I did not like...)

Oh my goodness! I have always daydreamed about a black licorice scented body product. I know black licorice seems to be a love or hate thing but I happen to love it and the bottle looks like Good N Plenty!!!

I think it's a red licorice scent--

Yay! TP's coming back! And I also dig the new packaging design. I'm totally gonna load up when they hit stores. After all, I think I'm down to about 4 full-size TP 3-in-ones now.

Am glad you guys are happy Temptations are coming back.

IMO Tropical Colada, that Pecan mess and something else that smelled like caramel popcorn (think movie theater) plus the Vanilla Ice Cream splash were enough to do me in.


Will check out the Peppermint and Licorice though.

Twisted Peppermint is a pretty true-to-form reproduction of the scent of peppermints (like the individually-wrapped red and white ones, not PepOMint Lifesavers or anything like that.) It smells fantastic in the winter, but I actually really like using it in the summer too. Maybe I've hallucinated it, but it feels to me like it has a bit of a tingle to it (the 3-in-1, that is) that makes me feel cooler even when it's 90000 degrees out.

Some of the Temptations products are on the BBW website!

New Product: Shapeable Soap (aka foaming soap)
Spiced Gingersnap
Twisted Peppermint

3-in-1s:
Twisted Peppermint
Nutcracker Sweet

I wonder if there'll also be mists & home fragrance products in these scents. I could use some Twisted Peppermint HFOs. The shapeable soaps look like fun. I'd be tempted to use one of those as handsoap.

And for those of you who are curious about Nutcracker Sweet, I read a review on MUA that it smells like pistachio.

i posted this in the recent purchases thread, but i did see these today in bbw, not all products, but next week, they are going to set on the floor.

I finally tried Twisted Peppermint for the first time last week. I didn't think I'd like it because I'm not into mint that much. I used it because one of our dogs had gotten into a skunk and the house reeked. I wanted to make sure I didn't smell like a skunk when I got to work. The lotion at first smelled like a strong peppermint when it went on, then on the way to work I felt a tingling and cooling sensation on my skin. Not unpleasant, but I was a little worried that I might be having an allergic reaction! After a while the scent became somewhat of a vanilla scent, like a mild vanilla bean noel and I didn't notice the mint part at all. I have bought a fair amount of this at the BBW outlet and am glad, since I really like the smell after it's been on a while. Plus the next day one of our other dogs met the skunk and my husband used the 3-in-1 on the dog after tomato juice. It helped!
Sorry for the long story. I hope they have lotions in all the same scents since I like to match.

I checked out BBW today & saw no sign of Temptations stuff.

I did notice this on the BBW website though: I Love Licorice 3-in-1. It looks so cute! To be honest, it looks more appropriate for Valentine's than winter. But I am curious to see how this one turns out.

I saw the Temptations out today. They had the full sized 3-in-1s at cashwrap for $10. Nutcracker Sweet smelled really good & reminded me of CO Bigelow Almond (which is also similar to CO Bigelow Coconut). If I do get anything in that scent, it'll probably be the lotion. The nutcracker guy on the 3-in-1 kinda creeps me out.

I Love Licorice on the other hand smelled slightly generic & a little bit fakey. I hope the scent translated better to the other products in that line.
