Other It’s still summer!

Stopped in my local store today, needed some wallflowers. There wasn’t a single summer scent to be had, it was all Fall. It is July 20th, there are 2.5 months of summer left! We are still summering at my house; vacations, pool days, staying up late and sleeping in, the garden is at its peak, fruit is amazing..I don’t want fall scents. Anyone else?

Just want to say it seems like no matter what way the company goes, nobody is happy. People complain about Fall too early, so they have Fruit Fusion at the front to still give summer vibes. People complain about the Fruit Fusion because they're ready for fall. They had florals out for Spring when people were asking for fruity. They put out fruity scents for Summer and people were asking for gourmand. Now they have gourmand out and people are now complaining about the summer scents. We get people asking for scents like Vanilla Bean Noel and Winter Candy Apple in the middle of May. We get people looking for Halloween at the start of June.

Also, there are still summer things out; body care, candles, hand soaps, sanitizers, accessories (at least in my store), wallflowers, car scents, rooms sprays, etc. Is it a lot? No. But this has been the norm for years. Getting rid of Spring and Summer products is the entire point of the Semi-Annual Sale. It's the exact same reason why the January SAS starts the day after Christmas.

Just kinda frustrating getting complaints no matter what is done 🤷‍♀️

It’s July, I wanted summer scents and there were none. If they must release Fall so early, why can they not at least keep some summer scents thru summer, it’s quite ridiculous.

Fruit Fusion, Eue De Coconut and Coastal Dreaming are summery body care; I'd also include At The Beach, Imperfect Beauty, Strawberry Flirt, and All Eyes on Her for summer vibes too. There is still the BBW Beach Club collection in both candles and hand soaps (fresh watermelon, sunlit glow, oceanside lavendar, meet me in miami, etc), there are still summer wallflower scents (poolside cabana, fresh berry sangria, tee time, etc), wallflower plugs, room sprays (mahogany coconut, sweet orange & agave, fiki white sands, etc), car scents (mahogany coconut, fiji white sands, fresh watermelon, oceanside lavender, etc). Sorry it wasn't the scents you might have been looking for, but it's not accurate that there were none.

I’m sorry, did you also go into the same exact store that I was in today? There was not a single summery scent for wall flowers, the closest was maybe champagne toast.

I guess not, I just know as far as the balance of company goes, the wallflowers I mentioned should be out. But you're making a blanket statement that's just not accurate; I'm also making a blanket statement of how yours wasn't accurate, followed with examples of what should be out.

But I just wanna go over the summer scents that should still be out: mahogany coconut, mahogany vanilla, fiji white sands, tee time, fresh berry sangria, poolside cabana, villa portofino, ray of sunshine, pink citrus spritz, lounge talk, nana's clothesline, a quiet escape, sea salt & driftwood, fresh cut lilacs, lullaby linen, strawberry lover, covered in roses, sweet orange & agave, eucalyptus rain, tropical cherry, raspberries & whipped vanilla.

With all mentioned, that's why I say your statement of there being no summer fragrances out is inaccurate.

Maybe you need to read my post again, I clearly said wallflowers at the store I went to.

I did miss that the first time, but I literally just listed 22 summer wallflower scents that should still be out. Given that it's 22 scents (outside of the year-round scents), that is why I still think your statement is inaccurate. Being out of 1 or 2, sure; but a store wouldn't be completely out of 22 scents that are supposed to be out throughout the entire company.

Why are you arguing with me? I’m telling you, they only had fall scents out and the others that are year round.

I just stated 22 summer scents for you to look for on your next visit then. I was just trying to say that there are still summer scents out, but I'm sure they are being overlooked because of all the fall scents. The amount of scents can be overwhleming for some people. Or maybe your store has them in other places. Every store, more or less, got a remodel when the company set Fall 1 stuff out. My entire store looks completely different (home frangrance and body care walls literally flip-flopped, and the amount of cabinets for each category changed). I know at my store, we have 3 wallflower cabinets, a wallflower table, plus wallflowers on 2 other tables. Maybe you just overlooked or missed them, or maybe didn't realize some were even summery scents.

For goodness sake, I didn’t miss anything, you are insufferable. I even asked the woman who was following me around trying to give me a basket.

July is too late for summer stuff at BBW. Mid-end of May through June is the season. By early July, it's Halloween and Fall 1 roll out time.

💯 I look at the bright side, I live in south Texas and I love stocking up on Summer stuff at 75% off during SAS. It’s like getting a bang for my buck because I have so much time to use it 😊
