Does anyone know when Bronze Goddess will be released this year?

I opened up my ancient bottle today to find that it’s horribly stale. The weather is making it feel like summer and I just want to drench myself in it but I can’t find it on sale anywhere yet. Why do they do this???

I saw it at Gatwick a couple of weeks ago so unless they got it early, it should be around.

What is Bronze Goddess?

GreedyVegan · 07/05/2018 21:29

Ooh what is it?

Beachy smelling fragrance by EL for summer

Sorry, yes it’s perfume. I’ve been googling and Next might have a reasonable knock off but I’d rather have the proper stuff, if I can find it. My normal perfumes all suddenly smell too heavy for the warmer weather

The Eau Fraiche, or the EDP?

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 07/05/2018 21:59

I saw it in Boots the other day.

If you're interested OP, NEXT do a lovely fragrance that smells the exact same.

I also use the EL version but had a sniff of this stuff recently and thought I might purchase? It's under £10 too.

A similar smell for a casual spritz is something called Hawaiian Tropics fragrance spray (yellow bottle, there are a few different colours). That's nice for a little spritz here and there Smile

I can't find the EL one this year... Not in my local store yet.

It’s just been launched exclusively at House of Fraser and will be everywhere else at the end of May. You might get stock from last year in some places though. They launched the full collection with make up etc with HoF first for some reason - I love it. There is a salt spray for hair too this year - looking forward to trying it.

I would like to love Bronze Goddess but something about the fragrance makes me feel quite ill.

Thank you shopgirl! Just ordered from house if Fraser and got some kind of free gift too. I find the parfum a bit strong so always go for the ‘eau Fraiche’ which I guess is the eau de toilette

I got the perfume last year and agree it’s too strong. I think I will treat myself to the eau Fraiche as well this year.

CointreauVersial · 11/05/2018 14:05

I had a squirt in House of Fraser a couple of weeks ago.

Mmm....love it.....but as YellowStages mentioned, Next do one called Summer Sun, which isn't a bad dupe and costs a lot less.

Shopgirl1 · 14/05/2018 18:34

Has anyone tried the salt spray for hair?

Fullfatlatte · 14/05/2018 18:48

I’m also intrigued about this so asked when I was in John Lewis (launch is end of May). Consultant said the skin scent(?) is more coconuty! But the EDP lasts longer? Which is more popular with everyone? Thanks 😀

anxious62 · 14/05/2018 18:52

I love it but it just doesn’t last.

MakeTeaNotWar · 28/05/2018 09:28

I've just picked up 100ml of the eau fraiche at Gatwick Airport for £39

Butterfly1975 · 28/05/2018 09:34

Just found that mine's gone stale too Sad

Wondering if the 2018 Eau Fraiche version differs much from in previous years does anyone know?
