New Perfume Bottles

I’ve received a few emails regarding the new perfume bottles. I have been noticing an increase in instances of leaking with the shiny silver sprayers and lids that I was using. I decided to make the switch to the matte silver sprayers after testing them for a few months and noting no leak issues. These sprayers do not come with a dust cap like the other bottles, but are shipped with a shipping clip in place to secure them in transit. My testers have not noted any problematic leaking during daily use with these new sprayers.

Some people have expressed a desire for the shiny silver sprayers with the silver caps that were used on the perfumes in the past. If you would prefer your perfumes with the old style sprayer and lid please just make a note in the comments section during checkout. I’d be happy to include one with your order for no extra charge. You will just need to trim the dip tube of the sprayer before applying it to you bottle.

If you are looking for a safe, secure way of traveling with your perfumes, you may wish to consider our perfume atomizers. These are glass bottles that are enclosed inside of an aluminum shell and tight fitting lid. They are perfect for traveling and are refillable!

Of coarse, if problems should arise with the new perfume bottles I will research new alternatives until I find the perfect solution!

Updates from the past few days....

Ahhhh, it has been a long past few days. Getting all the products ready for the summer release was a big accomplishment since I haven't been able to put the kind of hours in that I did in the past (before having 4 month old twins that is!).

Just some little tidbits that I've been meaning to post about and haven't had a chance.

Name that Scent Contest
A big THANK YOU to everyone who entered the contest. I received tons of great suggestions! It took a very long time to go through each submission and narrow it down. The final name I chose was OlivaBella. I'm actually still working choosing a new description for the scent (I received a lot of those as well!). The names everyone submitted were so good that I'm keeping a file. If I ever decide to use them in the future, or even build a scent around the name, I'll send some goodies your way!

One Woman Show
It is always embarrassing when I realize that I have made an error on the website, either in the form of a typo, misspelling, incorrect link etc. I do proof read...I really do (it is just sometimes I'm proof reading at 3 am and I guess I'm not that efficient at it). I want to apologize for that. Most of the time I'm trying to do four things at once. It has become even more difficult now as I am back to running Wylde Ivy completely on my own. I'm officially a one woman show here now and I'm still trying to get in that hang of running my family with the two newest additions to the mix!

Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to write and report and errors or broken links that they find. Just remember, if something on the website is not working correctly for you, your user account goes awry, or any other silly little thing, you can contact me and I'll do my best to get it all patched up for you!

What happened to the June 9th soap release?

Yes, I had a small group of soaps scheduled for release on June 9th. Since I'm nearing completion of the summer line, I have decided to hold the soap release so I can offer everything together. Right now, I'm looking at the summer release for late this week. I'll have June 9th and 16th soaps ready at that time as well as the complete line of summer scents and TWO Scents of the Month!

The summer line scents will consist of:

Sandcastles
Pink Strawberry Citrus
Coconut Island Castaway
Lemon-tine
OlivaBella (formally known as Tuscan Garden)
Iced Mango
Island Beauty
Sun Tea
Juicy
Violet Sun

Our Scents of the Month will be:

Creamy Coconut
Green Grass

Along with all these new products, I also have a bunch of new soaps and new perfume samples! Stay tuned for news on the release while I go back to feverishly labeling all these new products!

The Summer '08 Release Insiders Scoop #2

I have so much I want to do for this summer season that I might just do the summer release in two stages so the products that are ready now can be made available. It will depend on how much I can get done within this week. I want to be able to make some, if not all, of the products available on the website sometime next week.

The following scents are returning to Wylde Ivy for the summer season and will be ready for the first release:

Sandcastles
Coconut Island Castaway
Pink Strawberry Citrus
Iced Mango


There will also be four new scents ready at that time. Names still subject to change.

Juicy - Berries piled high, drizzled with hand squeezed lemonade and a touch of Jasmine petals on the breeze.

Sun Tea - Astringent bold black tea sweetened with lemon and vanilla infused sugar cubes

Island Beauty - A graceful, soft blend of island florals, creamy coconut milk, and sweet sugar cane.

Violet Sun - Candied violets on a bed of fresh lemon zest

There is also some great new soaps in the works! Stay tuned for me details
