I really liked Blackberry Woods and Blackberry Frosting. I wish I picked up more of the berry in Black Raspberry Linen. Maybe on warm. TFS!

[@laura10777]

I’m most looking forward to Black Raspberry Sangria and Black Raspberry Linen. 😊

[@meltingmemoriesco]

This collection sounds so good, especially the bakery one. Can’t wait for your teddy bees review!!

[@MrBrickBoss13]

The woods gave me incense smell. Was hoping for more but still have to warm it. Linen was my favorite

[@MaryBierwagen-oo8nl]

I've been anxious to hear your reviews on this round of Scentspirations. I was hoping for a bigger "wow" reaction for the frosting bar. I am looking the most forward to this one. Truth be told, I am not really a fan of BRV. It's sort of blah to me, so I don't melt it. Hopefully, I'll enjoy these new bars better. I just ordered mine today. I waited for the availability of the new laundry bundles to save myself yet ANOTHER $10 in shipping. Now I can't wait to hear your warm reviews! Thanks Robyn!

[@RobynH]

I went in and snagged a laundry bundle too! I behaved and only got one as I stocked up on laundry at the end of last catalog!

[@kimberlymarsh1240]

I got my bars on Sunday, and I was so excited, but nervous!!! I too have to be careful with the linens and this one definitely delivered! Haven't warmed it yet, but so so happy that I finally get one that seems like it won't send me on a migraine attack!! I'm actually thrilled with all of them,, considering BRV doesn't work all that great in my home 😊 Can't wait for my customer's reaction!!

[@RobynH]

I was surprised too that the original is the lightest of the bunch! Very good news all around!

[@erinnorthcott5022]

I really liked the sangria one, stand out winner in the bunch. Woods I’m on the fence about, I think it has a bit of a ghostly greetings note, which I like but I know a lot of people don’t like.

[@kara5219-Krose_8]

Ok so for fun, what do we all think they will do for the holiday scentspiration!? Too soon? No way 😂 Perfect Peppermint, Very Snowy Spruce, Apple Pie? I’m hoping the frosting bar ages well to bring out the marshmallow 🤞 I’ll wait at least 3 months before warming I think. Also excited about the laundry bar. The woods bar better shape up on warm though Linda wrote she picked up stinky feet 😂

[@dionnemason1400]

I would love a pine and apple pie butter frosting note!

[@RobynH]

Oooo I could see a Perfect Peppermint Scentspiration! Or Very Snowy Spruce!

[@valrose242]

We haven't had very snowy spruce in uk since I've been with scentsy, but I love tree scents so would love that.

[@jennymorrell8132]

I got a smelly feet note too, but I'll give it a try.

[@KarenShirey]

I love BRV and on cold sniff I like all of this collection... I do hope they are stronger on warm. or at least very long lasting.

[@lpa4058]

I've been a Scentsy customer for 4 years and Ive never smelled BRV. Im looking forward to smelling all the bars

[@RobynH]

Wow, exciting that you’ll smell BRV!!!! It’s been a long time coming lol!

[@abbysmith2754]

I was hoping for a more noticeable marshmallow note than you are picking up in the Frosting scent. Maybe with cure time that will develop more? I am excited by your reaction to the Linen bar! I don't melt Black Raspberry Vanilla much by itself (just gets overlooked by newer, more complex scents), but I am looking forward to most of the collection! Smiles, Abby Smith

[@RobynH]

I am hoping marshmallow comes out more with time! I love Scentsy’s marshmallow note and had hoped to smell it here!

[@hollywebster6844]

Can't wait for the warm reviews! I don't usually like vanilla scents very much, but I really enjoy Black Raspberry Vanilla. I'm so curious about the woods mix; I have a suspicion about where you were going and didn't want to ruin it for others. Years ago, Scentsy had a "Scentsy Man" collection and a few of those scents went in an unpleasant direction for me that I wonder if it's the same for the black raspberry wood blend. Maybe it will be lovely when you warm it! Sometimes the scents really change on warm. The Sangria one sounds right up my alley - love a good orange scent. I'm also very curious about the laundry one. Like you, laundry usually = headache for me, so I don't enjoy laundry scents. I even hold my breath going down that aisle in the grocery store! 😅

[@sophiefolwell4575]

I agree with all your opinions on the bars. I’ve only warmed the linen one so far and oh my I’m in love ! Will defiantly be purchasing a couple more of those as it’s such a pleasant laundry scent. Also the woods one the funk is not great 😂 hoping it’s better on warm x

[@Toretto_the_pup]

I wish these were stronger!! It could be I only used less than a bar of each scent but my home is only 915 square feet so it’s not that big. I’ll try ordering two of each bar when they become available to the public

[@valrose242]

I can't say I like BRV so I was going to pass on this collection especially the woods one. After seeing yours and Brads review,I'm going to order a set. However the Woods one will be ' Gifted'😁 Thank you for your reviews Robyn ❤

[@RobynH]

Lol yes the Woods one is quite a fascinating sniff lol 😅

[@violetlucille]

Based on cold sniffs alone black raspberry sangria is defintely the standout of the collection. Black raspberry linen surprised me with how good it smells on cold. I appreciate that it is a gentle laundry scent since most laundry scents give me a headache. My sniffer did not like black raspberry woods one bit. I pick up patchouli in it and it is not good at all! I am not sure I will even warm it because it is not a scent I can see myself, or family, enjoying. Thanks for sharing your thoughts ☺

[@RobynH]

Seems like most of us folks who don’t love laundry scents are finding BR Linen alright!!

[@violetlucille]

@@RobynH As much promise as I thought it had on cold, I ended up not loving it on warm. When I melted it yesterday I ended up removing it from my warmers after a couple hours because it takes on a funky note that my nose does not like 😢

[@amberaouatefi]

Hi Robyn! I have been anxiously awaiting this collection! 🥰. Now you really got me nervous about the woods bar 🤣! I usually love woodsy scents. I don't really melt much of black raspberry vanilla as it's just an average scent to me. It's not bad but not my favorite either so I was excited to try this blends collection. I am not a huge laundry scent fan as I usually get headaches from them but now you got me excited to try this one! I am most looking forward to the frosting and sangria ones! 🥰. I will watch some warm reviews first before I make my decision. Stinky feet smell from the woods one, oh oh?!! 🤣🤣. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. So surprised too that the frosting one wasn't your favorite of the bunch! 🥰🤣. Have a great day my friend. Take care and God bless 🙂❤

[@RobynH]

Trin surprisingly liked Woods best of all, he loved all of these bars though! Amelia’s fave was Linen! I’m excited to hear your thoughts on them when they come out too!

[@LindaN-gn6xk]

The Sangria one I may like. I'll pass on the other ones. I had Mango Margarita in my club, but for some reason, I took it out. I have been kicking myself ever since, especially when someone brings it up. Thanks for the review.

[@RobynH]

I can’t believe I never clubbed Mango Margarita - that’s one that got away!

[@jingles.1228]

I am looking forward to trying all of them but the woods one. I'm not a laundry fan, but you aren't either, so I'll take a chance on that one. The one I am most looking forward to is the Sangria one. Great first sniffs!

[@RobynH]

The laundry one was my daughter’s fave of the bunch (she likes fresh scents) - but yes I’m not a laundry person and I like it a lot!!!

[@zenmama187]

I’m looking forward to this collection! I wasn’t into this past years Christmas collection as it just wasn’t unique likes the Buttercream one. Even Mango was more creative. Definitely excited for the BRV!! I hope they all also cleans my dishes too 😆

[@RobynH]

Oooo yes I hope they clean the dishes too! I will keep an eye out as I warm them!

[@bethferrington3247]

My favorite is the Sangria, least is the Woods one. It does have a funk to it. Were you thinking of the BBMB Spiced Berries? Laundry does the same to me but this one is nice, I might add a little more BRV to it to tone it down more. Looking forward to your warm reviews! Thanks Robyn!

[@RobynH]

Yes, Spiced Berries! That was the one, thank you!

[@shylas100]

Oh no ma’am you are not the only one that picked up on the funk in that black raspberry woods 😂 you get it right before you start to exhale. But its definitely there. To me it was definitely a foot smell 😂 and the it was kind of a throw-up-yyyy smell. The Scentspirations was a complete miss for me

[@RobynH]

Yup you nailed it 😂. I’m glad I liked all the others because that one is rough - and the rest of the notes in it are so nice and have such potential. I’m still hoping it changes on warm! 🤞

[@jessicagowanlock]

Mine haven’t come in yet. I am guessing I will like black raspberry frosting and woods the best (before your review)

[@karencarvell114]

Thanks Robyn! Looking forward to Black Raspberry Frosting and Black Raspberry Sangria the most.

[@cosycuratedcottage681]

Well now I need to smell the Black Raspberry Woods 🤣

[@RobynH]

🤣it is an ✨experience✨😂

[@thefarnorthhomestead3332]

I do get a valerian note in the woods bar

[@RobynH]

I could see that! Reminds me a little of a tea I had with valerian root!

[@toniagermany6422]

I liked all of them accept the woods one. It smells like stinky feet to me. 😂 I may club the sangria one though!

[@RobynH]

Yyyyup lol😅 The Sangria one is fabulous!!!

[@MerandaK]

So... How does the Black Raspberry Linen compare to my absolute Favorite Laundry Scent... Pink Cotton? That bar will never leave my club❤

[@RobynH]

Not comparable to Pink Cotton I don’t think - Pink Cotton is much softer and sweeter, less floral. I LOVE Pink Cotton and this is nice too but I prefer Pink Cotton myself.

[@MerandaK]

@@RobynH Thank you❤️

[@scenteddragronflywithmichelle]

I think the bbmb you were thinking of is spiced berries

[@RobynH]

That’s the one, thank you!

[@Hollieford89]

Im hopeful for the sangria mix one

[@RobynH]

That was by far my favorite of the bunch on warm!

[@LeticiaWorboys]

I warmed the woods, and it was awful!!! Smelt like stinky rotten cheese or feet. Lol 😂😂😂 I had to take it out after a couple hours.

[@RobynH]

That was similar to my experience too😳😅

[@tn9784]

Random question! I’m a fall/winter girl all year round pretty much. Would it be worth my while to stack my quarterly club Sept 1st or build bar groups? I’m stuck on which would make more sense $$$.

[@hollywebster6844]

I tend to enjoy year round many of the scents that are in the Fall/Winter catalog and have had my heart broken when favorites for years did not come back. I now club everything that I would be very sad to permanently lose. I'm on a tight budget, so I have to be ruthless, but I absolutely love the way my rooms and car smell! You can also use your club half price item for wax bars. If I had extra money, I would keep my club the way it is, and bundle the ones that almost made it into club-worthy. I hope this helps in your decision.

[@RobynH]

For price, the bundle and save works out to be a better discount than 10% off for Club - so for anything currently available I tend to do Bundles and save Club space for anything I want forever year round. That said you also get a half off on larger Club orders so depending on your Club size and what you plan to get with a half off sometimes that can work out better, it depends!

[@elizabethsscenesscents]

Mine are lost in shipping!

[@MerandaK]

Oh No....🥺

[@RobynH]

Noooo!

[@elizabethsscenesscents]

@@RobynH I called today, Scentsy can’t step in till next Monday! I DID just get a package delivery update due tomorrow that I hope will be this package… we will see….???
