    the only way you might be able to find out the brand is by emailing ....and including the sample number you were allocated....they may be able to tell you if you received the "end result" product or one that was a prototype

    Its my understanding that not everyone gets the actual product to test and there may be variations that they have "created" that are not actually a specific product that you can buy if that makes sense.

    Givaudan are very much connected to the process of developing products and concepts...so what you test may not then make it through to something you see on the shop shelves.

    Thanks both, I'll send them an email.
    Anchor yourself to the foundations of everything you love.

    Thank you to all those who post competitions!:beer:

    Givaudan only make fragrances. The base product will be exactly the same as the brand in question, the only difference will be in the experimental nature of the scent.

    So if a shampoo sample is Tresemme, then it will be the same Tresemme sold in the shops but with a different scent. If a washing up liquid is Fairy, then it will be the same as that sold but with a different scent.

    What is really interesting though, is that the scent of a product can have a huge impact on the user's impression of the effectiveness of the product, even though it is only the scent that is different. That is one of the things these trials highlight.

    I got the deodorant but mine was a roll on, it's great and smells lovely. I can actually smell it all day. I've had an email today saying I'm on the dishwasher tabs trial. Anyone else?

    I got the deodorant roll on aswell and I love the fragrance

    Dearr Madam

    You have recently answered to a pre-recruitment to take part in a test product at home about a dishwashing product but unfortunately, you were not selected for one of the reasons below :

    - you don't meet the criteria
    - your personal information were badly informed or informed but not in the right case (like mentioned in our recruitment)
    - you didn't answer to all the questions

    If you want to have a chance to take part in a test product at home, you have at least to respect all the instructions mentioned in the recruitment.


    See you very soon for a next test.

    Best regards

    Has anyone else received this? Its after telling me that I was selected!

    Yes, I got exactly the same despite them saying a few days ago that I was on the trial. I suppose I'll wait and see what happens.

    Hi

    Yes, I received the same email. I didn't originally meet the criteria but they said I was going to receive the test product. Now looks like they've realised their mistake. Very strangely worded email.

    I got the same email and I have emailed them back as I am so annoyed that they are implying the lack of respect from the members ! :cool:

    Hi

    Just received a email saying they made a mistake and I'm on the trial. All very odd.
