I found a sample of this at a natural foods store, tried it on, and fell in love with it. Another new favorite Wild Carrot product! It's making me think of summer, even under these grey late Spring southern Oregon coast skies!
Ok- I still really miss the lovely vanilla scent and don’t care nearly as much for the new scent, however….. I love the sparkles. They are classic and subtle. Very adult. Very pretty. So, despite the scent change, I’m still buying and quite liking this product. A much better review than my first one after the change. :)
Love the smell
It’s a thin lotion seeps into skin fast
The mica does get everywhere- on your purses, car, sheets
I was a die hard fan of this, wore it every day, but then they switched out vanilla for patchouli which is such a bummer. Can’t wear it anymore
Zia, thank you for your loyalty over the years. We completely understand the disappointment. The vanilla scent was beautiful, and we didn't make this change lightly. We've shifted away from fragrance oils that no longer meet our standards for quality and ethics. It's a line we won't cross, even when it means letting go of something beloved.
The new formula swaps the vanilla fragrance oil for ylang ylang essential oil and a touch more patchouli, moving toward a more naturally-derived scent profile. We know it lands differently, and we're genuinely sorry it's not working for you. Thank you for being honest with us. Reviews like yours help us understand the real impact of our decisions, and we're grateful for every year you've spent with Wild Carrot.
Love the smell and the subtle sparkle.
