Does anyone know roughly when this might be?
Promised I wouldn't do it but really want to buy the Poppy and Barley and candle as a gift.

Bumping as I am waiting for this too. It's so useful for presents.

DonkeyHotty · 05/11/2019 11:35

It’s on! But it’s absolute shit compared to previous years. £100 minimum spend and no 100mls after about 50 attempts...

Chienloup · 05/11/2019 13:17

I can't get out to reveal my gift. It just says it "will be revealed soon". Hmm

Solihooley · 05/11/2019 13:41

Ah I’ve just started a thread. I’ve been waiting. Can’t get a 100ml at all!

X0X0 · 05/11/2019 13:43

£100?? Not bothering this time

Minionoftheantichrist · 05/11/2019 15:01

I thought £70 last time was pushing it but £100 😯. I’m not bothering either.

toycar · 05/11/2019 15:17

Yes, I'm off today and spotted it, have been playing a while now and have had:
fig/cassis candle
Redcurrant/oak candle
Redcurrant/oak 30 ml
amber/lavender 30ml
peony shower oil
basil/neroli candle
peony suede 30ml
salt wood/sage 30ml
nectarine blossom 30ml

£100 is very steep minimum spend and agree, £70 was pushing it for the summer game (did it x3 as i had my wedding anniversary and 2 birthdays).

Doing it just once as I was going to buy the orange bitters candle along with the new poppy cologne. added the pear and freesia hair mist and I went for shower oil i'd wanted for ages as many shower oils are always out of stock.

Will 100% not be spending another £100, its too much!!!

They’ve been very low key about this one, no mention in FB, probably because they know they’d be inundated by complaining huns if they did! It’s a shame it’s crap this time though, £100 is a lot of money and the prizes aren’t very tempting to me. I was hoping they’d release this year’s summer blossoms this time, like they did last year.

I have always been delighted by these promotions and probably spend about 3-500 in each one but it feels like a bit of a ‘fuck you, we’re not cheapening the brand anymore’ signal from them that we won’t be getting anymore good uns again 😔

Solihooley · 05/11/2019 16:57

Yes those are the only prizes Ive seen too. I don’t know why they’ve put the spend up but made the prizes worse just before Xmas. I Definitely wouldn’t be buying this time if there hadn’t been something I wanted anyway.

Solihooley · 05/11/2019 17:00

It’s still a good deal if you want something anyway but the games have been such a good way in the past to get people spending money with them that I don’t think they would have spent otherwise! Come on JM give us some more 100mls next time!

Housewife2010 · 05/11/2019 17:35

I loved the original game with a £30 minimum spend.

Minionoftheantichrist · 05/11/2019 19:54

I only knew about this through this thread. It’s v low key.

WingingWonder · 05/11/2019 20:08

Go go go.... but no 100ml fragrance so far 🙄

EachandEveryone · 05/11/2019 22:04

Im just down to my last candle from the £30 game. What a rip off this time. Who can honestly afford to have more than one go? Very disappointing.

Housewife2010 · 06/11/2019 09:36

I don't think it's a rip off. They are still giving free £49 fragrances with a £100 spend. Although it's not as generous as previously they are running a business not a charity.

CondeNasty · 06/11/2019 10:41

Nothings exciting me at all. I want to treat myself to some nice bath oil and candles/diffusers. Think I will wait until the Neom Black Friday offers and hope they are as good as last year! I prefer their scents for the home anyway.

buckeejit · 06/11/2019 10:50

I've got free wood salt cologne for bil & bought the 154 for dh as he likes it so that's 2 Christmas gifts. Bought the Pom noir room spray & Pom noir soap. They aren't even offering Pom noir cologne in 30mls any more

I still have a stash from previous games & am worried dh has bought me the advent calendar

buckeejit · 06/11/2019 10:52

@CondeNasty - I love neom stuff but it's never in tk maxx anymore, (apart from the lavender stuff which I'm not up for)

DonkeyHotty · 06/11/2019 10:56

Don’t worry @buckeejit I’ll pm you my address and you can send the calendar to me 😂

EachandEveryone · 06/11/2019 11:13

I wish they had this nearer to pay day then i would do it once.

BeforetheFlood · 06/11/2019 12:12

I'm finding the website frustrating. Looked at travel candles, hoping to find an orange bitters one, but it didn't appear. Put orange bitters into the search box, and it came up with no results ("did you mean orange bottles?") Searched just for orange, and lo and behold, there is an orange bitters travel candle.

Has anyone bought one of these? I'm wondering if they come in a nice box, like the ones pictured on the travel candle page! No packaging is shown, and I want to send them as work gifts (and get the oak and redcurrant freebie I won!)

DontFundHate · 06/11/2019 12:42

Ugh wish I hadn't seen this, really can't afford it this time!

Trewser · 06/11/2019 12:46

I buy my Pom Noir from the Perfume parlour! 12 for 50mls and smells identical.

EnFinale · 06/11/2019 12:47

This “offer” gets worse each year! It’s not even worth bothering with now.
