NEWNESS UPDATE: La Vie en Rose ~ New All Rose Collection
So BBW is really out here sneaking in all of these surprises. After these past boring and hoohum months, BBW is definitely keeping us on our toes with lots of unnanounced random and mysterious surprises. Along with those random "online only" candles that popped up recently (which btw, it does look like those will be available in stores fairly soon with 1 or 2 being online exclusives because of course) but another collction has popped in test stores recently with definite possibiliy of going wide - all rose collection.
Now betwixt you and me, I'm not a huge fan of rose scents; it's a note I can only take in small doses and/or blended with more dominant notes. That said, I and a few others have been saying that there should be an all rose collection similar to the doomed "Eucalyptus and (fill in the blank)" collection from years ago. Well, BBW have listened. And it looks like the majority of these are either new or possible repackages of past scents from the vault.
The look of these candles are surprisingly simplistic by BBW standards - black glass, gunmetal lids, signs of various shades of pink/magenta/red with simple black font. No pictures, no glitter, no cartoons - nothing for the "I'm buying this for the packaging" crowd to cream their panties over. A simple look letting the scent be the star..like it used to be and how it shouldve remained. Hopefully this collection will teach them that more often than not, less is indeed more!
Onto the scents...
So here are the ones that are confirmed to be new...
Lavender Rose - French Lavender, Moon Shadow, Rose Petals, Cashmere Musk
Rosewater Meringue - Fresh Rosewater, Spun Pink Sugar, Creamy Vanilla Bean (confirmed NOT to be Pink Petal Teacake)
Rose - Airy Rose Water, Jasmine Petals, Sweet Musk (inspired by bodycare?)
Possible and confirmed repackages are...
Rose Garden - English Rose Blossoms, Climbing Ivy, Sheer Jasmine (confirmed to be Rose aka Flower Shop)
Fireside Rose - Smooth Cedarwood, Sparkling Rose Water, Rich Patchouli (possible repackage of forgotten past scent Cedar Rose)
Ballerina Rose - Ballerina Rose Petals, Soft Peony Blossoms, Summery Greenery (possible repackage of Garden Party)
Parisian Rose - Amber Patchouli, Delicate Rose Petals, Pink Pepper (possible repackage of an old aromatherapy scent called Passion)
Rose & Vanilla - Dewy Rose Petals, French Vanilla, Creamy Musk (confirmed to be Aromatherapy LOVE ~ Rose + Vanilla)
Returning scents include Black Tea Rose and Rosewater & Ivy
Like I said before, it certainly does look like these will indeed go wide; I have even seen wf refills for pretty much every scent so that's even more confirmation. That all said, I have no earthly idea will these will be hiting stores but I would think they'll start appearing fairly soon.
In the meantime, you can watch Tinadivalicious' recent review vid of these just to give you an idea of these scents are like

Wow this actually sounds like an interesting collection. I don't know if it will necessarily be up my alley, I'm the same as you, I can only handle rose in small doses/mixed with other scents. But I'm excited to see this collection!
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to these? Do you know if they failed? (does this mean I have to overpay on Mercari?)
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've heard, the collection failed and the release is being postponed til next year for spring
