Crabtree & Evelyn New Line

[ffarouki]

I didn't know that this was happening, but visited a store today and saw their new edition shaving soaps:

Indian Sandalwood replacing Sandalwood
Moroccan Myrhh replacing Nomad

And the Sienna is gone. The West Indian Limes staying unchanged.

And they have upped the prices considerably was £20 ish a bottle for nomad EdT now it's £30

 

[ffarouki]

I'm curious if the reformulation improves the quality of the overall shave.

 

[Brianpilman]

From what I've been told from a store holder in guernsey there is no difference to them just the packaging

 

[Omp]

Hopefully we will see some sales of the old stock. I'd quite like some Nomad EDT as I love the cream

 

[Brianpilman]

I'm heading to my local store when I get home to see what they have

 

[Dipesh]

Look great. Is it a name change or and name and scent?

 

[joe mcclaine]

They changed TO the ones they'e changing FROM fairly recently.

 

[ffarouki]

The scents is different, at least to my nose. I am sure they wouldn't go a whopping packaging/marketing/name change and keep the product untouched. That would be counter-intuitive.

Besides, the product description in the past, say for the sandalwood didn't emphasize so much 'Indian' spices etc no?

Strange how they say Indian Sandalwood as Indian Sandalwood became almost obsolete during the 1970s in Indian and most of the high end perfumers source their Sandalwood from Australia which were planted many years ago and are now reaching their best when it comes to harvesting.

It used to be called MYSORE SANDALWOOD.

I'll be passing an outlet store tomorrow so will have a look for the old stock.

 

[ffarouki]

Maybe the new is better? I'm kind of way over my head in recent purchases I can't test drive any, but would be very interested to know how they compare to the old ones.

Went to the outlet in Dalton Park and everything was half price today so I picked up a Nomad bowl for £7, the West Indian Limes was £11.

 

[joe mcclaine]

Had a smell of them all today.

Kept my money in my pocket.

They smelled different? I want to go smell them again today, I really like the new packaging.
