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?

whatthefox Glasgow 😬

Replacement orange blossom is heavenly. Going to layer it tomorrow with wild bluebell

Figuier · 23/06/2017 20:30

Oh, wait, mine has been rescheduled for Monday.
I have to say, I really don't rate UPS. And that after being out for delivery today. They're shite.

@kavanaughkj love the sound of your honeymoon smell 😍

That is so crap about blue agave, I haven't had it for ages but it was so nice. It just mustn't have sold 😔

Haha!

I've just noticed that the ribbon on the freebies are different to the the ones that you have paid for on the gift packaging.

Thanks for the tip about exchanging Bunty the shower oil I have stinks 🙊 so will try and swap it.

How do I smell the colognes I have purchased without spraying them? I have taken the lids off and tried to sniff but can't smell anything. I don't know what to keep and what to gift!

Shock We saw that coming.

I wonder if they'll do it again now it's been such a success. Is it very rate for them to do offers? I've only ever shopped there in store.

EnidButton · 23/06/2017 21:32

Which shower gel did you get Bum?

I like the stripey ribbon.

OptimisticOllie · 23/06/2017 21:36

What does the stripy ribbon say? Just...?

kavanaughkj · 23/06/2017 21:51

@foodiefil - hee. I already saw that earlier today (re the blue agave) - and I don't think I could bring myself to pay that much for a partially used bottle ... I'll just swipe the bottle I bought for my sister last year instead!

Not surprised people are selling the 100ml Basil and Neroli - even if they got it for free, the prices people are asking is still way better than you'd usually get offered from Jo Malone for a 100ml bottle. That said, I will be gifting mine if I don't like it, not selling it!

AWholeLottaRosie · 23/06/2017 22:07

I am pretty sure they ran a similar promotion last year but it might have been in-store only.

ssd · 24/06/2017 08:50

I can't wait to get mine.

Uhtred · 24/06/2017 10:11

I got both of mine this morning! Haven't had time to open them all out properly as going out but the first one I pulled out was my peony and blush suede cologne so I gave myself a quick spritz and I now smell wonderful! 😄

Mrs9C · 24/06/2017 10:22

Does the smell of the body wash last after using it?

ssd · 24/06/2017 12:40

I got mine too and am over the moon!

I ordered red roses body wash, my god it's just lovely and the basil and neroli candle is so nice too.

Am delighted. The packaging was to die for.

If I win the lottery I'm buying more, I love the whole thing, everything about it I love!!

foodiefil · 24/06/2017 12:49

@ssd aww yay I'm so pleased for you x red roses bath oil is on my wish list 🌹

thanks! it's just gorgeous and it reminds me of mum, she would have loved it too.

Whatthefoxgoingon · 24/06/2017 14:54

I took a punt on the red roses hand wash, happy to hear it's nice ssd! Have received my peony hand wash (which I buy anyway) and I do like my basil neroli candle freebie so v pleased at this rate I'll keep them all and none will be given as gifts

SloanePeterson · 24/06/2017 16:30

3 of my 5 arrived today and I'm so pleased. I ordered a grapefruit candle, and English pear and freesia and French lime blossom perfumes and got the basil and neroli perfume and candle, and Sandalwood cologne free. The cologne has gone on eBay I'm afraid as I'm not a fan and neither is Dh, but the rest are total winners. I ordered it all untested as I do love the Jo Malone things I've had in the last, peony and blush suede being my favourite. But I sprayed the pear and freesia on this morning and I can still smell it, it's developed a really gorgeous dry down. And the basil and neroli perfume smells divine too, so summery. So thanks op, I'd never have heard about the promotion had it not been for this thread. I've ordered a honey and something candle and peony body wash still to come, with a Rose body cream and mimosa perfume free. Can't wait Smile

My order is still in the warehouse according to the tracking thing. I'm getting impatient now after reading all of these great reviews Grin

CoolCarrie · 24/06/2017 21:34

Thank you very much for the heads up OP, I got Red Rose for my mum, and me !

Mrs9C · 24/06/2017 22:16

I nearly fainted tonight when I got my 6th dispatch email Shock Shock, one of them is a normal no freebie order as they deleted treat item from the basket. But honestly had no idea, I thought I had put in FOUR orders! Gulp! Hope there is a long date on the items, either that or I might start showering 3 times a day Grin, going to have some happy family and friends this year!
