We've discussed this in the spring 2008 thread, but I thought it was time these products had a thread of their own.

I got a chance to see the new CO Bigelow stuff today & here were my thoughts. I smelled most of them, but wasn't motivated to smell Grapefruit or Rosemary Mint.

Coconut: Warm & milky scent. Didn't really smell much like coconut at all. This actually reminded me of Almond in the former Apothecary collection. It's nice. Yes

Lavender: Strong herbal lavender, much like the Lavender Chamomile in the Aromatherapy collection. I think the color they use for the shower gels is the prettiest. Yes

Lime & Coriander: Very fresh lime scent! Love I think this will be a must have for the lime fans (men & women alike).

Wild Berry: Fruity sweet scent. It's nice, but I think I'd probably end up getting tired of it halfway through.

I also wish the lotions had some color to them. It just seems weird. They did a good job making the shower gels & hand washes look vibrant, but the lotion looks blah in comparison. Crap

Will all BBW stores be getting these? Or only select ones?

I really want to try them, especially the Coconut and Lime & Coriander, but my local store is really small.

SS, the only stores that will be getting them are the flagships. I think that's unfortunate since all the stores sold the previous Apothecary line.

I smelled all of them today. I agree with all of Megans reviews. I did smell Rosemary Mint and Grapefruit.

I really liked the Grapefruit, I wasnt expecting too though. It actually smells more like Oranges than Grapefruit to me. I actually also liked Rosemary Mint, which also surprised me. Not enough to buy it though. I smelled mostly mint with this one.

Coconut didnt smell like coconut at all, I was getting hazelnut from it. Or some type of nut.
I actually liked them all, but the Lavender, but I hate the scent of Lavender. The SA told me her favorite was Lime & Coriander, but for that store the best sellers by far have been Wild Berry and Grapefruit.

I'm wearing the wildberry as i type and to me it smells like a powdery cranberry type fragrance. indeed, the coconut smells exactly like the old almond and the grapefruit is almost exactly the same as the old clementine.

I saw new CO Bigelow Village Perfumers products today at the flagship.

Shampoo, conditioner, & body cleansers in:
Grapefruit Mint
Lemon
Lemon Leaf
Rosemary Mint
Tea Tree & Eucalyptus
Vetiver

Body cleansers in:
Cool Mint
Ginger Mint
Lemon Bergamot
Lemon Fig
Vanilla

There were also 3 wick candles in Lemon & Grapefruit Mint.

The Lemon & Rosemary Mint haircare smells like their corresponding CO Bigelow products already released. Tea Tree & Eucalyptus reminds me of a Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo. Vanilla didn't smell like much of anything. And I didn't get around to smelling the other scents.

IMO the BigeBlow line is overpriced in light of their affiliation with BBW.

Their stuff isn't all that. And their store in NYC is a hole in the wall in a snarky part of town.

Seems like it's hype.

Interesting to note..since L'Oreal acquired Kiehl's and The Body Shop, prices have increased and quality has suffered.

I enjoy the products I order from Lovey as HER Wildberry Zinger rocks, and the new Vaseline Men Face and Body Lotion from CVS does the job for $3.99!
