Best of 2024: Scentsy!

[@cmobannon]

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!

[@MrKongsMom]

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.

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.

[@MrKongsMom]

Oh churro churro was awful for me too. Could have totally popped that one in her as well 🤣 so disgustingly spicy 🌶️ 🤮

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.

That would be the only reason I would join as well.

[@AdrianaBerlanga1207]

Oh wow I didn’t know this maybe I should do this too. I wondered if the company would ask you about sales.

[@cmobannon]

@ good question. My daughter in law sells, she says they don’t ask her about anything

[@MrKongsMom]

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.

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

[@MrKongsMom]

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!

I LOVE Rum Pum Plum!

[@MrKongsMom]

So delicious!

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?

[@MrKongsMom]

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.

[@CharitySRose]

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.

[@MrKongsMom]

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.

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.

[@cmobannon]

I wondered about that! Every so often I get a bar to try and everyone seems to love and this is one of those, I got nothing..

[@MrKongsMom]

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.

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??

[@MrKongsMom]

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!

@MrKongsMom Thanks so much 👍
