Candy Mountain is vanilla scented. Magic Wand smells like Snow Fairy...it's a bit like bubble gum or cotton candy and way, way too sweet for me (though not for some).
I haven't seen the design, the stores here in Mpls still look like Lush has forever. Chalk hand-drawn signs, deliberate messiness, etc. They do tend to try out things now and again, so if you found it disconcerting, be sure to send online feedback or post on the forums.
Also, for amusement factor, i'll ask if you work in corporate-land, as the phrase "going forward" struck me. This particular bit of wording is one of my pet peeves about that sort of corp thing. What's wrong with "in the future," "from now on," or other things that don't sound totally like jargon.
Not dissing you...it gets into all of our brains and we say things like this without thinking, but as the one English major in a spate of businessmen at my job, i tend to notice this stuff. I'm mocking gently, not meanly.
I work in the corporate world and never realized that "going forward" was a a corporate term. I hate the term "friendly reminder", it grates on my last nerve. Sorry, you just struck a chord there :P
Hey, English majors unite! I'm not really a member of corporate-land, but the bosses at my job seem to use the phrase fairly frequently, so I guess I assimilated it.
Any idea where to send the feedback? It really does seem like an odd design for a store, and it didn't feel as comfortable as the others I've been in.
i was under the impression that snow fairy and candy mountain were two different scents. but i've seen Lush videos on youtube where people are like oh yeah candy mountain is the same scent as snow fairy and i have both a bottle of snow fairy and candy mountain and i just smelled them both and i can't detect a difference :( my brain is confused now.
in looking on the site it looks like candy mountain may pretty much be snow fairy with added vanilla? someone correct me if i'm wrong!
That's sort of the impression I'm getting from the website/sniffing it, too. Snow Fairy scent = Creamy Candy with added vanilla, which may be why she said they were the same?
I'm not a fan of the new concept stores either. I actually live in Cherry Hill, where they opened a store last year, and used to shop in Walnut. One thing I've noticed with the opening of so many new stores, Lush no longer seems as special. I was at the mall last night, saw Lush, and didn't go in. That would never have happened at Walnut- I never was in Philly without spending at least $75. Just my thoughts...
Agreed. Visiting it at KoP didn't seems as awesome as going in to Center City, and I don't think it was entirely the color scheme and the extremely reluctant brother following me in. I suspect that unless I really want to do a sniff test on something or I'm at the mall for another reason, I'll end up ordering from the website or stopping in at Walnut street anyway.
I didn't know they opened one at the KOP mall.. HMM what part of the mall? I was in the first store they re-did in FL Orlando airport.. I wasn't impressed.. It felt very hospital type.. Not a fan..
I tend to categorize the lush candy scents by the two candy scented soaps, Rockstar and Godmother. Godmother scented things are anything Snow Fairy and Candy Fluff scented. Rockstar scented things are Creamy Candy/Candy Mountain, Marshmallow Melting Moments and Pink bath bomb. Rockstar is more vanilla-y scented with it's candy scent and I think Snow Fairy has a buttery topnote and a strong gummy candy/swedish fish type candy scent. Really similar especially to non-candy lovers, but they are definitely two different scent families.

And yes, that's what I mean. It just feels too cold and sterile!
