Grab-n-Go Summer Sampler Now Available

Summer 2009 Sampler

I think this is my favourite sampler to date. For starters, it contains 2 brand new products that I'm absolutely crazy about and second, it's wonderfully convenient because all the goodies in this sampler have multiple purposes. As always, we're showcasing some of the new scents in our upcoming Summer collection release. My favourite of the bunch? Tokyo Rose inspired by this gorgeous floral arrangement I happened by while in...yup you guessed it...Tokyo. The arrangement was sitting on a front desk counter and as I walked by it, I came across the most unique aroma. Interspersed amongst the roses were young bamboo shoots, lemongrass leaves and a bunch of other blossoms and blooms. So what you get is a mingling of rose's sweet and heady scent with uplifting notes of green bamboo and lemongrass. It truly is a remarkable fragrance and I'm really quite proud of the blend.

Win your sampler

Okay, I'm in a bind. I haven't come up with a name for our in-shower moisturizer and shaving cream. Customers who purchase a sampler are eligible to win their purchase by suggesting a name for this product. Please note that this contest is only open to those who purchase a sampler as I'd like the suggestions to come from first-hand use of the product. I think the name will be more accurate that way.

20% off coupon code

We're including a 20% off coupon good towards a future CLC order with each sampler.

Shipping discount

We've capped our shipping to $4.95 for all domestic orders regardless of size. International customers enjoy 10% off our standard shipping fees. However, please note that only 1 sampler can fit in a flat rate envelope so if your order contains multiple sets, you will be charged an additional fee accordingly (but still at a 10% discount.)

Memorial Holiday Schedule

We're finishing up the last of the orders and expect to be done by this weekend or early next week. We'll be shipping out samplers hopefully by this weekend into mid-next week. Although our store will be open to accept orders, we will not be processing orders starting from Thursday, May 21st till Sunday May 31st. We have a good number of sets ready to go and I will continue to monitor demand and make more accordingly. So if I'm calculating this correctly, the TAT for the samplers will be about 7 to 9 business days between Thursday, May 21st and Sunday, May 1st. We'll resume order fulfillment and processing on Monday, June 1st.

I'll write more about our 2 brand new products in the next entry.
