NEWNESS UPDATE: SAS Summer Surprises

Well gang, it's about that time again. By this time next week, Semi Annual Sale time will be in full swing. Personally, summer SAS isn't my jam and hasn't been for awhile but some interesting nostalgic "newness" will be heading our way so there will be some fun things to sniff but probably not buy.

So the first interesting thing we'll be seeing is BBW is bringing back the American Boardwalk collection. So this collection first came out spring of 2012 and was quite popular. It was brought back for summer SAS in 2014 with the same original look and notes. This 2019 version has new updated pretty labels

Returning scents that you newbies would have heard of are Beach Cabana, Sun Tan and Summer Boardwalk

Unfamiliar scents include...

White Sand: Savor the first long days of summer at the beach with sparkling grapefruit, sandalwood, coconut milk and summer jasmine

Beach Grass: Take a stroll on the dunes at sunrise with a blend of dewy greens, palmetto grass and sweet white freesia

Salt Water Taffy: The classic seaside sweet, light fluffy vanilla cream whipped with fresh strawberries and cherries

Ice Cream Shop: Savor the irresistible flavor of delicate almond blossoms, sugar cane, juicy white peach, decadent toffee and creamy vanilla 

For my ol schoolers, no Oceanside, Seashore (aka Renew & Refresh) or Root Beer Float (same Root Beer Float we saw last year)


Well also be saying another "new" collection called Backyard Bliss. This collection has sort of a "country summer" theme to it with wraparound labels with various textile looks, ie. rope, wood, canvas, etc

There's only one new scent and it's an interesting and unheard of one...

Blueberry Pie - Juicy Blueberries, Flaky Crust, Sugar Crystals (confirmed NOT to be Blueberry Pumpkin Patch, Blueberry Maple Waffles or Berry Pumpkin Strudel but is a NEW scent)

Returning scents include Black Teakwood, Bonfire Smores (aka Toasted Smores), Heirloom Apple, Lakeside Sunrise (aka Bergamot Waters) and Wildflower Meadow


And finally, the last collection we'll be seeing is called "Sacred Geometry". They're clear labels with gilded good geometric shapes, which are a lot more fascinating than the scents themselves. LAME AF! All re-releases we've seen over and over. They include Aloha Kiwi Passionfruit, Cactus Blossom, Georgia Peach, Lemon Mint Leaf, Midnight Blue Citrus, Pineapple Mango and Rosewater and Ivy...LAME AF!

There's also 2 stand alone candles that's gonna be released as well

There's gonna be a PRIDE candle in honor of the LGBTQ community with matching bodycare called "Love is Here". Don't get excited cuz it's not new, it's just regular ol Suntan. Although I think..nay, know there are very better fitting scents, I cant be mad at BBW supporting us LGBTQers as many of us are their consumers..it will be interesting as many of their supporters are conservative/religious anti-gay Middle Americans..oh well, eff em!

And speakin of 'Murica, there will be a 4th of July/Independence Day themed/inspired candle called "Firecracker Pop" (for my non-American, a "firecracker pop" is popular American summer treat - a red white blue colored citrus flavored popsicle )

Firecracker Pop - Red Cherry, Fresh Citrus, Juicy Berry (word on the street it's a repackage of Cherry Frost from last winter)

I believe there will be wallflowers of classic signature scents like White Citrus, Sunripened  Raspberries and Coconut Lime Breeze. And of course, every sold from last winter til now will be available albeit marked down. You have a week to go so make lists and may the odds be ever in your favor. Good luck and happy SAS shopping!
