I didn't realize that All You Need is Love and the Coconut Sugar oil were literally the exact same scent. A few months ago I got a bar of All You Need is Love from Patrice and warmed it recently and while it was going I kept thinking... this smells exactly like Coconut Sugar 🤦♀️😄 Well it all makes sense now! My favourite bar from the Mardi Gras collection is King Cake and my least favourite is Midnight Masquerade. Glad to hear you're on the mend and that things are looking up in the sniffer department. Great empties! 😊
Hi Patricia! My favorite from the Mardi Gras collection is Midnight Masquerade. It’s like nothing I’ve smelled before. Street Parade reminded me a lot of Be Fabulous. King Cake was 3rd place. Didn’t care too much for the other 2. Blessings!!
I am so behind this year, I just got my first order today. I have all the Mardi Gras bars except the Mint one. So I haven’t had the chance to really test anything, Confetti Showers is in a warmer now, also warming Frosted Ginger cookie today. Thanks for the video and Happy Melting!
Rio beach is so good. I only had an old scent pack and it was so summery and beachy. I think I’m liking midnight masquerade the most on cold. Haven’t gotten to warm any of them but that one is so unique with the bakery floral that we don’t see often.
Rio Beach is the first and oldest bar in my club. A great value scent! Confetti Showers is my favorite MG bar but King Cake is a close second. I may even kick Happy Birthday out of my club and replace it with KC! It really came alive on warm for me. Thanks for sharing all your Scentsy empties. Hope your sense of smell continues to improve, that's got to be tough for a wax addict!
In the Mardi Gras collection, I enjoyed them all with King Cake being my favorite and Midnight Masquerade was my husband's. I did find Street Parade having the lightest scent of the bunch.
Strawberry Sweetie was my surprise favorite from BBMB - it went 3 days plus in the bathroom and I really enjoyed it. Added 2 (!) to my quarterly club. Also I liked Toasted Apple Butter and both Caramel Sugars. From Mardi Gras, I got Confetti Showers, King Cake, Midnight Masquerade. CS was too peachy for me but maybe I’ll like it more in summer. MM was just ok, I won’t repurchase. King Cake was right up my alley and I clubbed it. Great empties!! Thanks!
I liked Creme De Menthe the best and King Cake the least from the Mardi Gras Collection. The other 3 in the collection were not re-ordered and can't say I loved them either.
Ok im definitely going to look for rio beach for voting that sounds lovely. I had to make cuts for this new bring back my bar round and unfortunately had to cut cashmere pear 😔 ... as far as the marti gras collection I didnt really think any of them stood out to me. I did in alternating warmers the cinfetti sunshine with maraschino sugar cookie my husbanf said it smelled like a fruity cocktail. I liked street parade okay. I knew I wouldn't be able to warm king cake on its own so i mixed it cube for cube same warmer with creme de mint and didnt even bother trying the one with the beinets om cold it was to much for me. I do really like candy orchard but im unsure if I want to club it or not.
I liked strawberry sweetie and I also found it to be strong and very long lasting. The first 2 hours- it was a bit overwhelming because of the sweetness. I feel like it lasted 4 days. I completely agree with you on winters eve I only used 3 cubes last year and I just didn’t care for it. I used the rest of the brick this year and I liked it. Not enough to repurchase but it was nice. Less strong and sweeter this year. Almond croissant, king cake, and the praline cake scent we just had all have that same base. Not my fav either. I enjoyed the Mardi Gras collection. Midnight masquerade is probably my favorite and king cake my least favorite. None are club choices though.
Great empties Patricia. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. My favorite scents from the Mardi Gras Collection are King Cake and Creme de Menthe...they both went into my quarterly club. My least favorite from the collection is Confetti Showers....I think I don't like the peach note in it.
Rio Beach is such a great scent! I would love to see that one again! I see you took advantage of your cold symptoms to get through some Amber Hollow! 🤣 Good for you! Thanks for sharing! Smiles, Abby Smith
That’s exactly what I love Marvel Nine Realms for. I have a 12, almost 13 year old son, and when I put it on in his room, I imagine I have a really nice smelling son. 😂 (he’s not too bad, but these things always help lol) When it was marked as retiring and went on clearance for a while, I made sure to stock several bars so I can keep that going for a few of my teenage boy years (I have another son 4 years younger…)
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I like pineapple but this one at first smelled like pine trees and fruit to me…I know weird…but that’s what I smelled. But I let it go and it lasted quite a while and then mainly smelled fruity. It wasn’t bad just not my favorite.
You hit the nail on the head with Strawberry Sweetie! Powerhouse! I wish King Cake would perform like SS. I really enjoy it, but it's not strong enough nor does it last long for me. Street Parade was my fave! A question for you. When you make samples are they felt or molds? Do you send samples to your customers regularly? Thank you!
The only one from the Mardi Gras collection that I have tried so far is Midnight Masquerade. The others smell fine on cold but nothing very different or exciting so I have not bothered with them yet. I agree with your description of MM - I appreciated its unique qualities and enjoyed it but like Southern Evening, it is just not for me. I expect it will have some die hard fans, though.
You’re welcome. Btw - the Mix it Monday try to match colors …you interpreted that perfectly! Sorry it caused you such “stress” lol . I was listening to your empties while driving early this morning and couldn’t comment.
I only picked up street parade from the Mardi Gras collection. I thought it was an ok but pretty generic fruity scent. I only got a few hours of scent throw tho
Did you notice the symbols on the back of the packaging have changed slightly? I noticed it this morning. The flower and the recycle sign are different on my BBMB and Wonka packaging from my older bars I received in the beginning of the fall. Could that mean older pours?
I really love midnight masquerade. I will say both king cake, street parade and confetti showers were too generic as king cake is another generic cake scent as I would prefer happy birthday or vanilla bean buttercream over them, street parade is almost pineapple pucker and confetti showers is similar to the last petal and I really liked creme de menthe however I find it similar to marshmallow mint and mint to be merry, which I prefer
I have to say, I agree with you on Almond Croissant 🫣. I just don’t love it as much as everyone and I do find it smells similar to some other bakery scents.
I didn't realize that All You Need is Love and the Coconut Sugar oil were literally the exact same scent.

I wish they matched oils to wax bars more often
Love listening to the scenarios you associate with the scents. 😊 There were a lot of great scents this month!
Glad you enjoyed!
My favorite from the Mardi Gras collection is Confetti Showers. Most likely going in my club!
That was my favourite too!

Oooh I’ll have to cross reference Be Fabulous
The description of the midnight masquerade is absolutely awesome!!
Thanks

Are you not a fan of mint?
Yeah, Ryan! Pink Sugarberry mint is in my club! It's one of my favorite scents.🩷
I have a couple bars. I know my daughter also likes it so it will be a kids room scent so they can enjoy it
Thinking about you and your family. Hope you are all safe and warm during this crazy storm! ❄️❤️🙏
It’s been an interesting weekend
Rio beach is so good. I only had an old scent pack and it was so summery and beachy. I think I’m liking midnight masquerade the most on cold. Haven’t gotten to warm any of them but that one is so unique with the bakery floral that we don’t see often.
I hope you get a chance at the Rio Beach wax

Yes I know we both speak fondly of Rio Beach. I find King Cake not very cake-like…more carb like. Glad you’re liking it!
So glad you are on the mend. Great empties.
Slowly coming around!
In the Mardi Gras collection, I enjoyed them all with King Cake being my favorite and Midnight Masquerade was my husband's. I did find Street Parade having the lightest scent of the bunch.
Street Parade performed really well for me. Always so different for everyone
Going to watch this later....on the DL I started a 🎉 party 🥳 with you.
Glad you're feeling better 😊 gotta run 🏃♂️
Thanks Julie!

Yes a couple of surprise performers this BBMB round for sure
I liked Creme De Menthe the best and King Cake the least from the Mardi Gras Collection. The other 3 in the collection were not re-ordered and can't say I loved them either.
Creme de Menthe doesn’t throw super well for me. Here’s hoping for better things in the new place

Rio Beach is a solid performer

I’m always a bit relieved when I don’t need to add anything to club
So funny…I was pulling scents for the February warming challenge yesterday and I picked Midnight Masquerade for my complex scent.
I have Simply Vanilla & Vanilla Cream in my club too lol 🤷🏼♀️
We’re in sync
Nice video, I liked king cake . It was strong for me and hoping to use as a mixer
Thanks for sharing. Quite a few people seem to like it
Great empties Patricia. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. My favorite scents from the Mardi Gras Collection are King Cake and Creme de Menthe...they both went into my quarterly club. My least favorite from the collection is Confetti Showers....I think I don't like the peach note in it.
Confetti Showers was my fave but I just picked up 1 extra
Rio Beach is such a great scent! I would love to see that one again! I see you took advantage of your cold symptoms to get through some Amber Hollow! 🤣 Good for you! Thanks for sharing! Smiles, Abby Smith
Haha - that tester was my last remnant of Amber Hollow
That’s exactly what I love Marvel Nine Realms for. I have a 12, almost 13 year old son, and when I put it on in his room, I imagine I have a really nice smelling son. 😂 (he’s not too bad, but these things always help lol)
When it was marked as retiring and went on clearance for a while, I made sure to stock several bars so I can keep that going for a few of my teenage boy years (I have another son 4 years younger…)
I think that one can get pretty juicy. Check in on it from time to time!
Yeah you’re right, I think. But I’ll be using it pretty regularly!
I love the Mardi Gras collection! Midnight Masquerade is my favorite and Street Parade is my least favorite.
Not a pineapple fan?
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I like pineapple but this one at first smelled like pine trees and fruit to me…I know weird…but that’s what I smelled. But I let it go and it lasted quite a while and then mainly smelled fruity. It wasn’t bad just not my favorite.

I send felt samples. I send samples to any customers with online orders purchases that month
Thanks a bunch!

Yes sadly a pass for me too
Have you added any of the bbmb to your club? I’ve added 4 but I’m not sure if I’ll keep them all. I love amaretto 😊 it’s one of the best of the group.
I added Toasted Caramel Sugar to stay.
Lots of Lavender and Strawberry Sweetie fir now but likely won’t stay
Thank you 💜
You’re welcome.
Btw - the Mix it Monday try to match colors …you interpreted that perfectly! Sorry it caused you such “stress” lol . I was listening to your empties while driving early this morning and couldn’t comment.
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes 😀😘
I remember liking Perfectly Pomegranate!
It’s a pretty long lasting fruity bar too
I like Perfectly Pomegranate too, haven't had it in a while though. But I do like Dazzling Pomegranate better
The extra fizz in Dazzling makes it stand out.
I only picked up street parade from the Mardi Gras collection. I thought it was an ok but pretty generic fruity scent. I only got a few hours of scent throw tho
I’d like to mix that one with a bakery to see how it is
Did you notice the symbols on the back of the packaging have changed slightly? I noticed it this morning. The flower and the recycle sign are different on my BBMB and Wonka packaging from my older bars I received in the beginning of the fall. Could that mean older pours?
I’ll try to remember to look! At work and I keep forgetting since we moved on the weekend
I really love midnight masquerade.

Yes many had scent “twins” or spin offs in the Mardi Gras collection (except Midnight Masquerade)
I love perfectly pomegrante
I might eventually get a brick once I get my stash down
I fell out of love with pomegranate scents.
I hate when that happens
I have to say, I agree with you on Almond Croissant 🫣. I just don’t love it as much as everyone and I do find it smells similar to some other bakery scents.
It doesn’t really even smell like a croissant to me let alone an almond one
