grama Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I know in an earlier thread there was talk about Nantucket Briar. I ordered my original from WSP and love it. But they have d/c it and now have the 2004 version. OOB I am not real fond of it, not in wax yet. I saw where Natures Garden had it so I had to place an order with them and ordered their Nantucket Briar. I had emailed and asked about the version but they didn't know. Well, it is the 2004 version. Just from OOB I can't tell a big difference in Nature Garden and WSP. Just thought some may want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezin Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well pooh, that is a scent that sounds very intriguing to me. So the NG is the like the newer one that you don't like as much, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 That is my opinion Freezin. I hope to get the 2004 version in wax soon but oob it is nothing like the original. Don't know why they had to change it, change is not always better:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloworm Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I have both of those Nantuckets also. Do not like the new version either. The first one was awesome in Cp.Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Glo, The first was-is my favorite. I have just about a full 16oz bottle left of the original and than after that none. I have especially one customer, and me, that love this scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHisGlory Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Thanks for this thread! I had ordered the NB from NG and did not like it at all. I'm glad to know that there is something better. I'd like to try the one that you like grama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoard my bottle also.Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 A Garden Eastward - think that is the name of it without looking, in Georgia has NB and she thinks it is probably the original one. Has 7 16oz bottles left. Thought I would try to order something from her and either get a free sample or probably just go ahead and order the full 16oz. Never was good at ordering samples. Guess that is why I have so many fo's. Which I like 99% of them and would wind up ordering the 16oz so just go ahead. Like I really need more. Just got in some from NG and got an order coming in from JS. It was raining Sat and didn't feel like working so the only thing left to do was order fo's:pWill probably order tonight so will let you know when it comes in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy, I certainly did not like the bottle I got from NG a couple of months ago. I still have the test candle in my closet - never to burn again. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 ForHisGlory - Don't know if it will be the original or not but the email from A Garden Eastward said they had it before 2004. I went ahead and ordered the 16oz size and got 3 free samples. Boy the shipping from Ludowici, GA to Glenwood GA was 10.32. Of course it is always more expensive to ship in GA than it is out of state. Will let you know when I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I opened the NG bottle and even poured and tested it - I knew my sister didn't wear that from Crabtree and Evelyn. lolIf she did, I was going to start praying for her - real quick! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evesorto Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I like the NG and WSP Nantucket Briar(s)....but I don't have anything to compare it to. I know I didn't have the original Crabtree & Evelyn next to me, but I did think the dupes smelled like I remembered it smelling?.Is it the fo that changed in 2004 or the original Crabtree & Evelyn version itself?Also, how was the original different...scent wise? Would love to know....also you will have to let us know how the oil from A Garden Eastward is....I really want to try the one that everybody prefers...it must be great.EVe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 A classic old-fashioned oriental accord with soft spice undertones on an amber, musk background. That description that sounds more like the original. The 2004 version says Blend of Orchid, Musk, Bergamot, Patchouli, Light florals, a gorgeous, sophisticated, complex scent.There is no similarity in the 2 - they are totally different in my opinion. Just hope AGE is the old one, if not I will have 3 16oz bottles of 2004:mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
