So here goes another of my hunts...

I'm after Wickham Soap Apricus. I've tried it in newbie box and fell in love just to realise that it was a limited run. If someone has this soap and wants to sell it on - do let me know! Even better if it's with the balm too.

Thanks!

I may be wrong and correct me if I am but isn’t part of the rules of the newbie box that you can take an item out so long as you replace it with something else..could be way off the mark and that may be a rule for a different type of pass around box not entirely sure I’ve never personally had the newbie box

I saw something like that being questioned throughout the newbie box thread (had a good look through most of the pages of that long thread) and some people seemed to be unhappy with people doing that in the past - therefore didn’t want to risk that :) not sure whether there was any ‘official’ rule set for it tbh.
I can understand how some might get annoyed if people e.g take something of more value and replace with something else that’s much cheaper (software shouldn’t be much of an issue, but from hardware there’s e.g a fatboy in there) .

I wasn’t sure/ it wasn’t stated clearly so just passed it on as I’ve received it and added couple small things haha

All that is asked for is that the parcel is passed on in the way you would personally wish to receive it: send it on promptly, feel free to replenish stock from your own possessions, and don't pinch all of the good bits and send on your discards!

yep that's what I was thinking at first, but somewhere down the middle of thread there was a bit of 'heated' debate about that course of action - not sure what was the outcome tbh

Perhaps you could post a thread of you’re intention and what you intended to replace it with and see if you have any objections, that’s if you are happy paying the postage to get it back again of course

Good call - might do that If I won't get much luck here! There was less than half tub of it I believe, but it's always something haha! Thanks Jay!

Maybe @Burgundy can clarify as he was the initiator of the box? It's with me currently, and I'm happy to help resolve this before it's released back into the wild (y)
 
I haven’t used this scent in Wickham’s soap before, but viewing a recent sotd by @Digimonkey saying that Citrus Musk is an even better match for Eau Savage than Apricus. If that’s your interest?
I've actually not tried the Citrus Musk (or smelled Eau Savage) - will have a look whether I can find out a bit more about them! Potentially could be, thanks! I'll have a search online about them, scent profile etc

Unfortunately for you, Citrus Musk has been discontinued by Darron. You may be able to get one by asking on the BST though.

The Emporium has one but it's not for sale ;)

How do you rate it's scent? (I'm assuming quite good since you decided to keep it). Even better if you're able to say in comparison to Apricus :)

I swear I always look for soaps that are harder to get.... A&E spartacus, now Wickhams Apricus... just my luck! :D

I really like both. Interestingly I wouldn't say that I find either of them close to Eau Sauvage - I have the newer EDT version so not sure if this is why?
