Got a free 100ml bottle of Basil & Neroli and a free home candle today with two purchases. So did most of my friends. Anyone else? Anyone know why?

I'd cancel Mrs9C

Mrs9C · 21/06/2017 11:40

I've emailed to cancel order (hate the phone!) don't know if they'll do anything as it's 72 hr response!

foodiefil · 21/06/2017 11:41

Get in touch and cancel for sure - just explain @Mrs9C

Same here, only yesterday I didn't notice it was removed and I checked out without it

Oh that's shitty. They need to be on the ball with their software and stock control or else these great offers can end up causing ill will!

foodiefil · 21/06/2017 11:42

Cross post!

I ordered more stuff and got another bottle of perfume for free.

fannydaggerz · 21/06/2017 11:54

I've only got the 30ml ones but I'm not bothered. I didn't select the gift wrap individually so I'm on the phone to customer services just now to see if they can wrap separately.

Mrs9C · 21/06/2017 12:00

5 minute call wait!

SickRose · 21/06/2017 12:05

Typical! Mimosa and cardamom is my scent and I bought a bottle yesterday to get a free basil and neroli candle. Decided to get the pomegranate noir room spray today to get the mimosa and cardamom candle. Not sure what the pomegranate noir smells like but I see it talked about a lot so my fingers are crossed!

For those considering the mimosa and cardamom, get it! I love it so much. It works for every season somehow.

mistermagpie · 21/06/2017 12:06

The orris and sandalwood is lovely but more for a man than a woman in my opinion.

Mrs9C · 21/06/2017 12:07

My order is packed and in the dispatch line, but they've got someone down there looking for it to pull it out! That's fab customer service!

Viviennemary · 21/06/2017 12:09

I got a 30ml neroli one yesterday and ordered seasalt which I've wanted for ages. Tempted back this morning and got free engraving and then the cardamon and mimosa which I've got already. Its a great offer but hope it doesn't end in tears with folk not getting their free gifts. I'm an eternal pessimist though. Grin

Mrs9C · 21/06/2017 12:09

@mistermagpie, that's good, cos it's given my husband a bit of a placebo about this Jo Malone spending spree I am on, that there is something for him in there Grin

Chickydoo · 21/06/2017 12:23

Ok
I have to step away from the damn game
4 orders placed have spent £136
Purchased
Lime/basil/mandarin oil gift was candle £44
Pom noir shower gel. Gift was perfume £44
Geranium shower gel gift was cologne £112
Pom noir perfume gift candle £44

So have gifts worth £244
However I really didn't need to spend £136 at Jo Malone
Enough now

lifeisnuts · 21/06/2017 12:33

Could a woman wear the Orris and sandalwood ? I quite like unisex fragrances, my fave is santal 33 by le labo? Course give it to DH but don't want to *greedy 😂

Figuier · 21/06/2017 12:43

lifeisnuts have a look at the fragrantica, it's unisex

www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Jo-Malone-London/Orris-Sandalwood-35021.html

one review in particular:
One of my favorite fragrances is Cucumber & Elderflower from Caswell Massey. Sadly they discontinued it. This is a dead ringer for it. Le Labo Santal 33 is also a dead ringer for this fragrance. Perfect year round. Just the right amount of violet in this blend. So sexy.

NickMyLipple · 21/06/2017 12:44

I keep getting mimosa and cardamom. I hate cardamom with a passion- I also won a 100ml orris and sandalwood and a 100ml basil and neroli so I've ordered a handwash and some earl grey and cucumber to go with those! Will keep trying, but may pop back tomorrow if the scents keep changing?

SnotGoblin · 21/06/2017 12:47

foodiefil, will the scents keep changing do you think? What's your best guess? Enquiring minds and credit cards need to know.

Mrs9C · 21/06/2017 12:52

So far there has been a new scent introduced each day...this is only day 3...think we may be homeless by the end of the week!

lifeisnuts · 21/06/2017 13:11

Thanks Figuier - I'll have a look

fannydaggerz · 21/06/2017 13:14

I ordered last night and again today - I'm hoping the stuff will be here by next week so I can pop one of the freebies in for my sons teacher.

I've not been offered any candles, just perfume.

Uhtred · 21/06/2017 13:20

Keep playing the game but I'm going to hold off until another scent comes up - although I don't know why as I don't even know what half of these smell like! 😂
Did crack open a sample I had been saving (why I don't know) of body scrub and it was lovely so if (and only if) I get a 100ml bottle of something I will get that to go with my two 30ml perfumes (one free), hand wash and candle (free!)

Housewife2010 · 21/06/2017 13:48

All I'm getting are the neroli and the mimosa 30mls and engraving. Is anyone getting anything else?

AFingerofFudge · 21/06/2017 13:50

Am still addicted to playing too but keep getting the engraving - I know it's good for my purse but I want some free cologne!

Mrs9C · 21/06/2017 14:00

Nothing new so far.
