If I remember correctly, LGC was the first Glissant release, but afterwards
Barrister_N_Mann tweaked the next Glissant formula (I think it was one of the seasonals or LE's, maybe Night Music?) in which he replaced the almond oil with high-oleic safflower oil. I thing the tweak was made to avoid allergy concerns, but I noticed a slickness improvement. I may have this mixed up, but the point is, LGC's Glissant base was tweaked after LGC's 2016 release. Will the 2017 LGC have the revised Glissant formula?
And hells yeah to the EdT additions. I understood there was a hang-up for that to come to fruition on a retail scale. I don't remember the particulars, but I'm glad it was resolved. This is a nice surprise.
And the aforementioned pitch about having a program in which someone can pay in advance for all new releases for the year is not a terrible idea. However, I would imagine
Barrister_N_Mann 's headaches would ensue with people wanting to have variations on it. I would foresee some folks wanting 2 of this and only 1 of that, etc. This might force the issue of having "levels" of membership. (Oooh, just the word will make some cringe.) And then what about production delays and unforeseen problems. Then prorated refunds, etc. Could easily be a mess for a small-ish operation to undertake. That's not to say it can't be done, and that I'd be willing to sign up!
Petrichor, yes! Fougere Gothique!? Intriguing but a must have. Lime, Lavendar and Cedarwood, yes! And of course the rest which are all wonderful. I think the idea of soaps like Hallows and Dickens taking a year off is an excellent one - nothing wrong with a 2 year cycle and its a heck of a lot better than outright discontinuing them.
