12 Tips to Get the Best Value From Your SCENTSY Wax

[@FoxDreams]

Great video - I will definitely start stirring after a couple days. I leave mine on 24/7, because when I come home from work walking through the door and into that scented haven, I feel peace and comfort...My bedroom one goes off at night.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I keep my kids bedrooms on for light and turn off almost every other warmer (unless I fall Asleep)

[@FoxDreams]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes yes, the small warmers are excellent nightlights ❤️ I just need dark to sleep in lol

[@pelin2562]

Great video and tips!! I never thought to stir my scents to get longevity from the fragrance 😂 What I've been doing is, when the wax is hard, I pop it out and turn it over as it always has a stronger scent to it on the bottom 😊

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

That is basically achieving the same result (the flip or the stir). Just need to get the oils up off the bottom.

[@stacymcintyre1796]

I didn't even know that the fragrance settles. I stopped ordering Scentsy for a while because it didn't seem I was getting my money's worth. I just added new fragrance today and can't wait to give this a try.

Great video, Patricia! It is very helpful and informative. Thank you for taking the time to put it together.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

thanks...it was quick to do. I’m glad you found it helpful in some way.

[@Justme-Stephanie96]

Great video and advice! My only tip is talk and actually listen to a consultant like Patricia if you have a large open floor plan. It’s extremely difficult to get your home to smell nice without using an excessive amount of wax…. I’ve found leaving my element warmers on 24/7 and using a long lasting “heavy” scent that’s versatile (meaning it compliments most scents) helps keep the air saturated with scent and thus keeps my home smelling nice.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes open floor plans are hard to saturate with scent.

[@brendasomers4134]

I just found this video and loved the tips Thank you. I never thought of stirring the wax when the scent is dimming down. Great Tip thanks.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes and I rarely remember to stir Lol

[@brendasomers4134]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes Its funny at times how we forget to do our own little tricks at times that we share with others.... I had never really thought about it...I kind of took the dish out of the warmers for the larger ones, and swished it around But didn't even cross my mind to take a spatula and actually stir it....duh on my part LOL But you can't exactly do it in a small warmer......Thanks I really enjoyed that video.....Food for thought.....

I actually have one of those mini spatulas that I use,mor a Scentsy one.

[@valeriemario6649]

I test scents first in my mini warmer in my laundry room to see if I like it using one cube. Great info in your video :-)

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes, testing not only for strength purposes, but also for seeing how well you like the scent warmed. Good point Valerie!

[@christinekeleher3578]

I’m new to your channel and to Scentsy but love both Thanks so much for you info. Now to continue with a relaxing Sunday binge watching your videos and making lists of what to buy next even though my collection is growing very nicely.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes, it can be so easy to want to buy everything because for the most part everything we sell is so good. Hope you enjoy your KZbin watch session Christine.

Hi, Patricia. I'm a brand new Scentsy customer in Australia. I got my first wax warmer and wax melts yesterday. Thank you so much for your very helpful tips. I really enjoyed your video. :D

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I hope you enjoy all your goodies! We get different scents in our region as compared to Australia but sometimes they cross over!!

[@michaelhudecek2778]

Very good!!! 😊😊😊. Mike

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Thank you! Watching the older videos

[@elizabethsscenesscents]

Still great content as always, three years ago Patricia ! I have found that some very light scents benefit from being put in a “carrier wax”, a dead wax that is almost done giving up its scent. It’s weird but things like Graduation ,Aloha Citrus, Churro Churro, are stronger for me if combined with a similar, faded cube of wax. I don’t know why it works at least for me ….but it does! Especially in an element warmer.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I’ve noticed this in my sons Ryan’s room.

[@elizabethsscenesscents]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I’m glad I’m not crazy!!!

Thanks Patricia! I am new to Scentsy and will make my first purchase soon. I subscribed to your channel just now because you made such a friendly, clear and concise presentation in this video. I really appreciate these tips. Very practical and helpful. I'm wondering though, I can't seem to find bricks on the website. I realize your video is from 4 years ago. Are bricks no longer available? Thanks again!!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Glad I could help! That video is on the older side…maybe it could use an update

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Sorry I forget to mention - most bricks are through the Scentsy club program but there are also seasonal bricks near the holidays and they will be offering 3 bricks in the catalog coming Sept 1st

[@sunglowrosky]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes Do you know if bricks are no longer available? Thanks!

[@sunglowrosky]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes Ah I see! Thanks again!! 🙂

[@Carlie_flower]

Ugh thank you! You're awesome

[@heidiu2scrap]

Great information. I'll have to try stirring up the wax. That spatula is so cute! I always start with one cube if I'm not sure how something throws. I never put more than 2 or 3 cubes in because the oils near the bottom won't have a chance to dissipate ( I guess that's where stirring would come in handy). Swoop airlines has really inexpensive flights out east so hoping to head out to Nova Scotia again!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Your package should be heading your way, Its packed...I’m sending it today. Make sure you start low on that Amber Hollow! It’s potent. It would be great it you make it back here! This time of year is a bit sketchy. Let me know if you need any Halifax advice

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Now you’re talking...a true addict right there!

[@donnatucker4154]

I am having great difficulty with smelling my scents! I have 9’ ceilings and have 2 warmers in 2 different rooms that are 13’ wide by 22’ long. Have Central Park Pralines in one room and in the kitchen I am melting Raisin Rum Cookie and Mochadoodle in 2 different warmers. I could smell CPP (2 squares) for the first hour and then nothing unless I was over the warmer & could smell Mochadoodle (which had a burnt, chemical smell in my new Prairie Pitcher warmer-did it scorch in the new warmer) and RRC (3cubes) when I have my head directly over the warmers. They have absolutely no throw! Everything is brand new-wax and warmers. I am so frustrated!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Donna, let me start by saying there are days where I have experienced similar frustrations! I just wanted to clarify...we are talking 4 warmers in 2 different rooms? One suggestion I’d start with is keeping the same scent in each room. I also find Rum raisin cookie is on the lighter side so maybe not great for a big room. My best advice to get one on one advice is to contact your consultant and ask him or her for advice. That’s what we are suppose to do so they will be happy to help. There is such complexity to scent perception! It could be lots of things. Are you struggling with any older scents as well or just these new bars?

[@tiffanymermaid2123]

Donna, I have a large house with super high ceilings. It is possible for sure for you to get throw from your wax but it will take more warmers and more wax. I was in your shoes before and more warmers will do it for sure so don't give up. In my kitchen I have 5 warmers because of the size and high ceilings. In my large bedroom that opens up to our large bath, I have 6 warmers. I hope this helps.

[@genevieveflynn1909]

Fantastic video Patricia. Thank you so much. I use alot of warmers, most are 25w bulb warmers. I tend to lightly swirl the wax to circulate, usually not til it's almost gone anyway to get the last bit. Do you think swirling will lift the scent? Do you find the spatula makes that much difference? Super video. Great idea. I may have a different question the next time I watch it.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Genevieve I swirl too! Way more than stir as my spatula is usually on the opposite floor and I’m lazy! But stirring would be a bit better I think. You can buy some dollar store mini spatulas (nice and cheap)

[@angelasmeltingmoments3334]

Awesome thanks! 🤗

[@AimzP]

Hi I absolutely enjoy watching your videos!!!! I was wondering if you had any experience with the scent indigo berries and its performance?

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Oh Aimee, I wish I did have experience with Indigo Berries! I might take the plunge and get the 2 Indogo bricks through Scentsy club someday. Perhaps some of my senior Scentsy consultants can chime in on their experience...or any of customers as well...?? We will get you some answers. I might try to track down that scent in bar form locally to see...

[@AimzP]

It smells amazing on cold...reminds me of huckleberry and clementine but I struggled with lasting...wondering if it was just me. But I had trouble with the bbmb lasting too

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Well it sounds like having berries it might not be super long lasting. Maybe I shouldn’t get the brick after all 😝 How long is the Indogo Berrie lasting and how much are you using/type of area warmed...etc? My advice with some of the BBMB scents is to let them sit for a bit (weeks) and then revisit them. On occasion I have found the wax gets stronger with a bit of time.

[@AimzP]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes its strong smelling fir about 6 hours than it fades out quick. I have an 900 sq ft main level with 3 bulb 25w warmers n I split a brick cube between the three. For bbmb I love thunderstorm but it smells 3 hours tops and some of the others seem to die down quick too I'm wondering if it's the heat or something

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Well, it sounds like you have things covered. I go through stages where every wax throws well and lasts a while...and then I get a bunch that perform sub-par. Thunderstorm for me was very underwhelming, so you are not alone. One thing I’ve noticed with some of the newer wax (not all) is that is seems a bit harder in texture. I certainly hope the oil hasn’t been reduced. In My open area I’m happy with a full day performance. Just for the fact the scent dissipates in such a big area. You need a strong style of scent. It can be super frustrating and I wish I had better answers for you. Ultimately I rebuy what works for me and do not support waxes that are low performers, in the hopes those waxes will fade out due to lack of overall support.

[@DeloresCostello]

“8, 10,12, up tp 13 watt” element warmers! I can’t find any info about this, I’d love to know more.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Scentsy indicates when a warmer is an element warmer (no bulb) on the website and catalog but doesn’t say it’s wattage. Personally I would only go for 12w or above. The others are too low in wattage to give me the scent throw I want. I much prefer 25w ceramic bulb warmers personally.

[@jeanninegarner4293]

GREAT video. On the mixing tip , can you help me? I don't care for Blueberry Pancakes. I need something to help this bar. Any ideas? Thanks

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Jeannine, I’m more of a scent purist at heart (so mixing is not my forte) but I can try to help! I don’t particularly like BB Pancakes either I’d start by finding out what notes you dislike/like in the scent so we can try to figure out how to disguise what you don’t like and bring out what you do like...

[@jeanninegarner4293]

I will have to try it again. It has been quite a while since I tried the bar. Thank you for the info about what I need to look for. Thank you! P.S. Do you like Spring Forward? It is in the sale items now.@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Spring Forward is Ok for me. Not a repurchase as I am down to my last 2 cubes from almost a year ago (9 bars in my kit). Some people didn’t like Spring Forward but I had no problems with it. (I’ll go check out the sales section.) And for BB Pancakes some ideas would be the obvious like sugar cookie, happy Bday, VBB, etc or Blueberry Rush, Autumn Blaze Maple, Butter Pecan. Maybe even sweet cream spice. Where’s John Sparks when you need him? 😜

[@jeanninegarner4293]

These are good scents to try with the BB Pancakes! I have Butter Pecan and Sweet Cream Spice. Thanks for your review on Spring Forward. Off to do some mixing. @@PatriciaG-NosetoToes

[@sc7991]

Hi Patricia, great video! Question for you....can you tell me how many bar cubes would equal one chunk of a brick?? Can you put a whole chunk of brick in a full size warmer or do you need to cut up the brick chunk in half or more? thanks!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Each brick cube is typically 3.5-4 cubes. You “could” put a whole brick cube in a full size warmer dish but you risk spillage since it would be overly full. Also a thick wax pool makes it harder for the fragrance oils that settle at the bottom of the dish to be released for you to smell. So much advised to cut the cubes into 1/4s,1/3 or 1/2. I’ll link my brick cutting video for you to watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/el6XeoChps2Gq6s
