A spend of £60 this time!! Seems more than the last two doesn’t it?

Anyone know if the Sakura cherry blossom is nice? Usually wear their wood sage and sea salt. Thanks!

Click into your shopping basket, the tab to play the game is just above your basket and you click on that

Thiscantreallybehappening · 06/11/2018 14:57

Sorry, click checkout and the tab to play is just above your shopping basket is says "play now"

EachandEveryone · 06/11/2018 14:58

God even the tropical bottles look horrible.

I've just got a 100ml nashi blossom one. I've placed my order so it had better not be vile!

I placed the order against my better judgement... if I hadn't needed to do an order for Christmas, I certainly wouldn't be doing one specially after UK customers being so royally shafted.

PeekaPeeka · 06/11/2018 15:01

I have the cherry blossom one (£100ml) as a prize.

Does anyone know whether it's nice or not? I'm sure I remembered sniffing some of them when they were in store, and thought that there was one that was ok, but can't remember which one!

WingingWonder · 06/11/2018 15:04

Also got cherry blossom
Am working on basis if truely awful I will ask them to swap at a boutique ... as a loyal customer I’d hope they would swap an unopened fragrance received as a gift with the receipt and newly bowed in box...

Thiscantreallybehappening · 06/11/2018 15:05

All the free gifts I have been offered which seem to be blossom colognes I can't find on their website to see any reviews. After all the messing around today and our minimum spend being so much higher I had already decided that unless it was something I really wanted I wasn't going to checkout.

Jammiebammie · 06/11/2018 15:05

Hmm I’m not really impressed tbh.
Done it 4 times and been offered the nashi blossom 100ml, tropical cherimoya 30ml, cattleya flower body mist 100ml or Sakura cherry blossom 100ml.
Worth a punt if you’re ordering something anyway, but not worthwhile doing the order just for the freebie imo.

Owlwantstoshare · 06/11/2018 15:06

How are you supposed to play. There’s 4 different bauble hanging down and you are supposed to match 2 halves only they all look different and when I click on one nothing happens anyhow. Help?

Thiscantreallybehappening · 06/11/2018 15:07

Jammie - that is exactly what I have been offered too but I can't actually see those items on their website. Is it discontinued stock?

gingercat02 · 06/11/2018 15:07

I got the 100ml Cherry blossom too. Not keen on floral scents. Also very little that I would like to buy my favs in body stuff are out of stock

JammyPiece · 06/11/2018 15:08

@owlwantstoshare it only seemed to work on certain browsers - it wouldn't work on Firefox, only Safari on my iPad.

Nutkins24 · 06/11/2018 15:08

I’m still going to check out. I have both the 100ml blossom ones. Can always eBay if they’re truly horrid but I’d rather it was something I liked!

Thiscantreallybehappening · 06/11/2018 15:08

Owl - I wondered that too, but I think the computer does it for you. I just play now and the game seems to start. I get offered a gift each time.

The previous games were better imo

Owlwantstoshare · 06/11/2018 15:08

Thanks. I’m on safari on my iPad . Weird.

EachandEveryone · 06/11/2018 15:10

No they look ugly I wouldn’t give them as a gift. Is that all they are offering nothing classical?

OP posts:
Jammiebammie · 06/11/2018 15:13

I’m on safari, under the payables it says ‘play now’ then automatically goes through them, up to 3 times.

I’m not sure if they’re discontinued, I know the cherimoya was brought out this year, I thought it was limited for summer only but John Lewis still carry it.

Jammiebammie · 06/11/2018 15:13

*baubles, not payables

Owlwantstoshare · 06/11/2018 15:15

I managed in the end. Prize was the cherimoya. I thought I’d gone onto private browsing mode but I can’t get another go. Arghhh. So disappointing.

Thiscantreallybehappening · 06/11/2018 15:16

Thank you Jammie - reviews on JL are good for Cherimoya.

I keep getting Cherimoya but I don't need any a perfume and no one to give it to. I was after a candle, has anybody had one?

Tahani · 06/11/2018 15:16

Not going for it this time

£60 Is way too much

EachandEveryone · 06/11/2018 15:18

Who wants Summer scents in the middle of Winter. I hope it’s a big let down for them.

CarlsR15 · 06/11/2018 15:23

I've read reviews on fragrantica and John Lewis. John Lewis still has stock of them x

Thiscantreallybehappening · 06/11/2018 15:24

I just keep getting the same 4 items. I'm not playing anymore and I'm actually quite pleased I didn't get something I wanted, JM don't deserve my custom today. The minimum spend should be the same for all countries and we should have gone live the same time as Europe.
