I love scentsy! I’m so glad I found Lisa Rowberry and she introduced us to you!! I’m sure vendor wax is awesome, but the stability to get what I want and keep getting it is a huge perk to me. I don’t want to gamble with new scents I May or may not like. Great video!
Yes, that’s another plus for scentsy. The hunger games style of presales and needing to be there at launch is stressful. I hate it when any company does that. Just make enough to go around Dangit 🤣 and keep it in stock. But I do get that some people enjoy the hunt. I’d be terrible in the wild myself. Hunting anything down is stressful lol.
I became a consultant solely for the discount. I don't sell (except to me). I told them when I signed up that I had no interest in selling anything. My friends and family don't even know I could sell. To stay active and to get 25% of every order back you just need to sell $200 in a month only once a year. I do an over $200 order at least once a year on my own. If you buy throughout the year, getting 25% of what you spend back adds up and saves you a lot of money over the year.
Same here, but there are a lot of changes coming for consultants in March with regard to your discount and the amount needed to remain active, among a number of other things. Check your workstation - it's interesting to say the least. 😊
I wonder how well Almond Croissant sold. I got heavy butter/margarine & I believe many others did as well. Wish it did smell like an actual almond croissant for me. Thank you for your great reviews
Oh it's buttery for sure! But I smell buttery croissant with almond paste. Would be interesting to know what the sales were like for that one for sure!
Hi! Wondering if you prefer candles or wax melts, does one system last more than the other? and if you have multiple frangrances going on a the same time ?
The worst for me was Walt Disney World Resort Signature Treats Churro So Sweet. I like all your favorites. Christmas Tree surprised me that I liked it as much as I did. I'm not a huge tree scent person, but I really liked that one. Very Snowy Spruce is a lot for me, but I do like putting a cube of it in my plug-in mini warmers by our artificial trees.
My favorite of the year was by far Christmas Cookie. However, after some of my bars have sat for a while I’m now getting that weird jalapeño note that was in the Churro bar. I think it is the ginger. Wondering if that’s happened to anyone else?
Churro churro 💯 smelled spicy to my nose. Hated it lol. Maybe it was the ginger but my ginger cookies scent was really good! No spice there. I’m going to be filming an updated collection video so I’ll snif through some of the gourmands to see if they are going bad.
Two of my faves this year were shamrock splash and jammin jubilee. I think those were both scents of the month. Also the lord of the rings shire sunrise.
Just picking 6 favorites is so hard, but her it goes Cinnamon woods Hallow harvest Spiced and spirted Whipped frosting Gingerbread cheesecake Jammin Jubilee Christmas cookie King cake Starburst sky Forever Fall I can't pick 6 😂😂😂 Cake me to paradise is really good too and I hope it returns!! Worst scent Is leaves and lavender and vanilla chestnut.
Interesting to compare Scentsy to vendor. Priced per ounce Scentsy is high. Performance with Scentsy has gone down. If they all performed at the level of almond croissant then I’d have more favorites. Even a new love whipped frosting isn’t the best performer in my open concept. The new cookie one from the valentine collection is medium at best. I enjoy your videos but I wanted to share my thoughts. Plus now bundle and save is done with the new catalog.
Howdy Charity. So I just chatted with Lisa and the bundle orders will just have to be placed through the consultant (bars and warmers are my main concern and those aren’t going away). So the deals are still there, just have to communicate with your consultant about it. Inconvenient maybe for some who don’t want to have to communicate with their consultant for sure tho. As far as price per ounce I think I personally go further with scentsy since I don’t change it daily. Vendor wax I change daily. I really have no personal investment since I don’t work for scentsy but from what I’ve tried wax wise, I prefer their product. Even over Kringle melts (those have improved tho). As for performance, I haven’t really noticed a difference myself but I’ve heard a couple people say that. My only beef is that the bricks you get with club orders never perform well for me, well they perform like vendor wax lol. One day and done. But regular bars are still doing good. I would certainly rethink my purchases if I noticed any changes. Anyway just my take. Overall I still love the product. I know many companies have to make changes sometimes, it’s just business. But luckily as consumers we have so many choices these days.
I tried to stick with all new 2024 scents from scentsy but I couldn’t leave out rum pum plum 🤣 so that’s #1 then fruit and Hazelnut waffles, whipped frosting, cake me to paradise, suncastles & pistachio woods ! Scentsy always comes out with so many good scents !! Churro so sweet was definitely my least favourite, I don’t know what they were thinking with that one it was so bizarre!
Just ordered from Lisa. I'm done with vendor wax. I'm waiting for my Kringle candle shipment. First time ordering. Its been 10 days since I ordered though and hasnt shipped yet. Is that typical??
So Kringle just had a massive end of year sale that had them inundated. They don't normally take that long, no. I myself am still waiting for my order that I placed during the first week of the new year. But I knew to expect that based on previous years of shopping the clearance sale. They probably should denote that on their website tho!
Hey Melanie! My top (new for 2024) bars, in no particular order, are: Cake Me to Paradise Honeydukes Fizzing Whizzbees Honeydukes Exploding Bon Bons Berry Sweet Berry Good Pumpkin Gingerbread Cheesecake Fruit & Hazelnut Delight Bundle Up Merry Wonderland Balsam Spice Vanilla Amber Gingerbread Pecan Waffles Sparkling Spiced Citrus There are so many more that I loved that were new this past year, but I can't name them all or this comment would go on forever. Did you have a favorite warmer for 2024? Of the new ones released for 2024, I think I would pick the Sunflower Fields warmer. I kind of wish it had a removable dish, but it was such a great performer and so beautiful, and I literally used it everyday of the fall season. After that, I think the Cute as a Button warmer was just too sweet. I do both Scentsy and vendor wax. I, like yourself, am a huge gourmand lover and Scentsy has seemed to turn away from doing gourmands as much, although they did a little better this past year. So, I turn to vendor wax to get my gourmand fix because OMG, the bakery scents out there are A-MA-ZING. Also, I find that I don't have a lot of Scentsy bars that can handle my open concept. Most times, it takes two bars and at $12 for two bars, I'm not willing to do that. So, a lot of them get warmed in my bedroom. Vendor wax tends to perform much stronger, although, as you said, not usually for as long. So, I guess you have to choose which battle, or think like I do - it's a good mix to have both in your life!😂😂 And, I do candles too. Can we ever have too many smell goods?! I was really shocked not to see Almond Croissant as part of the BBMB voting process this time around. I didn't know what to think. Maybe it did not sell as well as it seems to be popular? I have no idea. But it was disappointing because I would have put it in my Club right away. It's a great scent and I don't even like almond scents. Oh, almost forgot... worst bars for 2024. Two come to mind: Beetlejuice and Churro So Sweet.
Re: BBW Almond Croissant. I think they had batch issues with that last year. Some got a gorgeous authentic almond bakery and some got gross plastic. I saw someone who smelled two different ones last year say they smelled nothing alike, one was delicious and the other was horrible. It was brought back in a new collection recently so I am curious how that one smells. I can't stand a cucumber note in fragrance. It literally makes me gag. I love to eat cucumbers, but don't want my home or my body to smell like a cucumber.
Oh, yes, I heard about that! The people who loved theirs really didn’t like me for not liking it 🤣. I had more than one person tell me my nose is broken. I just deleted those comments as that’s not the case. We all perceive scent a bit differently but there was something wrong with mine. When I brought the second one back to the store the associate smelled it was made a face 🤣 she was like WTH is going on here. She had loved the one she bought in store. Mine were from online.
I almost always get two or more days off of my vendor wax. Also vendor wax, hands down, beats Scentsy with variety, especially bakery. I’ve tried Scentsy more than a few times and have always been disappointed with the longevity and scent. I did really like “Berry of Paradise” but the last time they offered it in BBMB it was so light and the scent petered out within a few hours. Also, Scentsy gets away with a lot of false advertisement with their deceptive descriptions on scents, describing a scent as a bakery when in fact it isn’t at all, instead just another fruity blend. Many of their scents were just a little too weird and underperforming for me. With that said, I do like their washer whiffs. 😂
Everyone has their faves. The beauty of life these days is the variety we have access to. So many options so many choices. Glad that you have found the best option for you ❤️

That would be the only reason I would join as well.
Oh wow I didn’t know this maybe I should do this too. I wondered if the company would ask you about sales.
@ good question. My daughter in law sells, she says they don’t ask her about anything
Oh yes, it is a great way to get the discount! I could do it for that but I also just like supporting a friend.

Oh churro churro was awful for me too. Could have totally popped that one in her as well 🤣 so disgustingly spicy 🌶️ 🤮
I LOVE Rum Pum Plum!
So delicious!
