Scentsy Bring Back My Bar July 2024- First Sniffs! 👃

[@2julsofmine]

I’ve wondered about Karen, too. I hope she’s well. I hope John Sparks is ok, too.

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Yes, we haven't seen John around in a very long time. I always enjoyed his videos too!

[@BrettBrad]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Brandi! Dulce de Leche is my fav on cold too. Hope it performs well!

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

It's SO good! 😍

[@2julsofmine]

I love Coconut Daiquiri too but it’s scentless in my house so I’m not going to try it again. I can’t even smell it in my bedroom.

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Someone mentioned trying it out in the candle crock so I may grab one bar and see if that helps at all. It's such a nice scent but doesn't perform in wax for me either. I really wish they would have kept it in the body line. It's perfect for summer! 🌞

[@lissamargery12]

You have an awesome sponsor, Brandi! Thank you both! I really appreciate your honest cold sniffs, Brandi. This will be the first BBMB I’ll be purchasing from my consultant who knows my mom. The scents I’m most curious to try are Buzz Worthy, Coconut Daiquiri, and Blackberry Meringue. I have several that I’ll definitely not purchase based on the scent notes. I hope you have a blessed rest of the week!

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

I like your choices! I'm still a little unsure about Buzz Worthy but my friend Michelle is going to send me her bar to try so we'll see how it goes. Everyone says it's really, really strong while warming so I think I'll play it safe and just start off with one cube 😅 Wishing you a blessed week as well!

[@lissamargery12]

@@BarsBrickswithBrandi Thank you so much, Brandi! I haven’t had honey in wax so I’m curious about Buzz Worthy. I’m glad Michelle will send you some to try.

[@kristinesscentscene9421]

I agree on that best summer collection even the selection of products. I am with you on coconut daquiri

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

I really wish we could vote entire collections back!

[@angelasmith5765]

Great reviews Brandi! Loved hearing your thoughts.

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Thanks Angie! 😊

[@marciwaxie]

Dang I remember people talking about the performance of Coconut Daiquiri so I never picked it up. Hmm it’s a maybe. I’m here for green scents so have to try Farmers Market lol 😂 thanks for sharing love! This was very helpful. A Halloween scent too?!!!! You have my attn! 👻

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Some are calling Cranberry Sandalwood more of a cool weather, winter scent. To me it's more of an October scent so I guess it will depend on how your nose interprets it. It comes across as dark and incense-like to me. If you like green scents I think you'll really like Farmer's Market! 😃

[@AmandaTheWaxNerd]

It’s a great big yes 😂 I couldn’t agree more! Dulce de Leche is fabulous. Thanks for sharing your reviews, Brandi!

[@AmandaTheWaxNerd]

Oh I forgot my top three. It’s hard to narrow down but Sea Salt Mist, Dulce de Leche, Breakfast Blend, Farmer’s Market and Lime & Sugarcane are definitely up there for me.

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

@@AmandaTheWaxNerd Thanks Amanda! If Dulce de Leche is as good on warm as it is on cold it's definitely going in my club! You have some nice picks! I still haven't smelled Lime & Sugarcane but everyone seems to be loving it! 🥰

[@AmandaTheWaxNerd]

@@BarsBrickswithBrandi it warmed great for me. Hoping it’s the same for you! That fresh mint note in Lime & Sugarcane, like a delicious, refreshing mojito.

[@kristinesscentscene9421]

Watching now so excited to see what you think! Congratulations on 700 🎉

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Thank you Kristine! 🥰

[@melissajohnsonhaight5036]

I love hearing your thoughts!! 😊❤🎉 it seems like so many are loving dulce de leche.. I’m hoping to get my set in July.. 🎉🥳🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Thanks so much my friend 🥰 I'm hoping it smells just as good on warm as it does on cold. I'm such a sucker for Scentsy's caramel scents ❤

[@RobynH]

Loved this video, thanks Brandi! I agree - I liked this round but haven’t found many Clubbers. It’s definitely a summer fans BBMB round!

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Hi Robyn 👋 Thank you! Yeah, this one wasn't really in my wheelhouse but I think I found a couple of gems 💎

[@jessicagowanlock]

My boyfriend and I just went to Niagara on the lake a couple weekends ago and we did some dinning. One place I got dessert and it was lemon lavender cheese cake it was SO good. The lemon lavender bar actually smells like the lemon lavender from the cheesecake. I am going to try mixing that with vanilla bean buttercream and see if I can get that cheesecake vibe and it will be a scent memory. After that we went over to the theatre which was my first time and earlier that day we did a spa day so it would be a perfect scent memory

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Aww Jessica that sounds lovely! What a beautiful scent memory to re-create ❤ Let me know how it works out!

[@tammytolbert5499]

I always loved Buzz Worthy! I am a bit worn out from having so many in the past but being down to my last bar I will have to put it in my club for now 😂

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

I'm so curious to see how it warms! My friend Michelle was going to send me hers but can't find it so I'm going to pick up a bar on July 1st and check it out. On cold there's definitely something in there that I like but also another note I'm not too sure about. Wish me luck! 🤞

[@kawaiiwitchbaby]

when I looked over the winner list months ago I thought only 2 or 3 sounded interesting to me. I am very intrigued in that happy go lucky bar now when you compared it to Love & Happiness. 😍

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

I cannot wait to order Happy Go Lucky and get it in my warmers! I can't tell you how hard it is to have the bars there in front of you, not be able to warm them, have to wait until July 1st to order and then wait until about a week and a half after that to actually have them in your hands 😅 I'm not complaining tho, I'm super grateful to be able to check them all out but for the ones you really like you want to warm them now! Lol

[@AprilLeeWaxQueen]

Yas girl...watching now. I can't wait to see how we are the same/differ on these :)

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Yay! We definitely have similar thoughts on some. Sorry for the Warermelon Mint diss 🙈 I know it's a top fave for you 😄

[@lisapgardner]

We have almost the same 6 pack favorites! You have good taste! ❤

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

🙌🥳🎉 That's awesome! Which ones are different?

[@lisapgardner]

@@BarsBrickswithBrandi I really like Buzz Worthy actually lol it’s delicious. Besides that it’s the same!

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

@@lisapgardner My friend Michelle is going to send me her bar of Buzz Worthy so I'm excited but nervous to try it. There's one part in there I really like but one part I'm unsure of so I hope it goes well! 🤞

[@danaweimer5186]

I am really excited about Dulce de Leche! That’s about the only one from this round that I am interested in🤷🏻‍♀️ Thanks for your video!

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Hi Dana! 👋 Dulce de Leche is a bakery lovers dream (on cold) I'm so excited to order in July and get it in my warmers! 🎉 I honestly thought that one would be the only one I'd like out of the bunch but there were a few fun surprises this round. If you like Love & Happiness/Flower Child I'd say give Happy Go Lucky a spin. It's really nice 😊

[@lindah_home_and_scents]

I was glad you found a way to sniff through the set - I find your opinions helpful. I was absolutely going to pass on the early access but my husband said “what!? you always get it…what about your girl gang”. So I ordered it still waiting for it to arrive. I was personally not that keen on this list. I have experienced several of them. To be honest I’m a bit surprised at what was voted back. But I’ll keep an open mind & give out samples. Some of them I haven’t warmed in years maybe I’ll change my opinion. Some like Coconut Daiquiri & Dulce were good but did not perform well. Dulce was ok but short lived in my house. I got wonky bars of BlackBerry Meringue in a flash sale so maybe the new pours will be better. Reading the descriptions on these BBMBs several had lime & several had green apple I’m not usually a fan of those notes. 🤷‍♀️

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Hopefully you find a few winners in the bunch 🤞 This wasn't a set for me and after going through and smelling them all I'm really glad I didn't get the bundle. Of course I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to sniff through them all and I found what I think will be some gems 💎 The fresh pours of Blackberry Meringue are so much nicer than the older ones from the flash sale. I'm really looking forward to warming that one 🙂

[@penney1307]

Thank you for reviewing the bbmb’s! I appreciate it! I’m not surprised that your favorite is dulce de leche. 🙂 I do wish coconut daiquiri was a stronger bar. It’s so good. Can’t wait to hear how the bars you pick up warm for you.

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Hi Penney! Lol, I don't think anyone was surprised by my top pick 😄 Not too much bakery this round but that's ok. It definitely saves me money and club space. Another person commented about trying Coconut Daiquiri in the candle crock for better throw so I think I might pick up a bar to try that because I really love the scent 😃

[@susanfitzpatrick3369]

Thanks Brandi

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Thanks for watching Susan 😊

[@minimomentsca]

I infact had no doubts that you’d like Dolce De Leche 🤣🤣

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

What ever gave you that impression? 😂

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

What a great sponsor to let you sniff them all. This is the first time I chose not to get the kit. There are a handful I want to try but none of these seem club worthy. Maybe I’m just being more and more picky. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

That's definitely understandable. I'm a lot more picky now also. Scentsy does a lot of very similar scents so I find myself paying attention to scent notes and skipping over many that seem to have been done before.

[@JourneyingwithLaura]

I did not realize it on my first sniff but I sniffed along with you today 😂 and I totally agree on your description of Happy Go Lucky - like a summer version of Love and Happiness.

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Right?! I was so surprised when I first smelled it. I'm really excited to see how it does warming 😊

[@JourneyingwithLaura]

To me, this is a fairly lackluster BBMB. I am fine with most fruity scents but one is as good as another generally. I am glad to have the opportunity to smell Buzz Worthy because I love honey scents but, on cold, I am getting some almond in there which I am not a big fan of. Top 3 on cold - Happy Go Lucky, Juicy Peach, and Sandalwood & Cranberries.

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

This round isn't really in my wheelhouse either but I'm ok with that. It saves me all of the agonizing club decisions 😅 There are a few gems in here for me and I'm glad to hear you found a few too!

[@minimomentsca]

Yay! Really looking forward to hearing your thoughts! 😃

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

I'm excited to see what you choose and hear what you think! 😊

[@michellecoish3647]

Enjoying watching this, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I think I’m glad I didn’t purchase the kit lol

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Hi Michelle 👋 Thank you! This is a great round for people who prefer masculine/aquatic/fresh. It's always a bit of a relief for me when I don't love most of them. Then I don't have to agonize over club decisions 😅 I'm happy with the few gems I found tho and am looking forward to trying them. What is standing out to you?

[@michellecoish3647]

@@BarsBrickswithBrandi I have 8 that I’m interested in trying. Mainly the ones that you liked. I’m not into masculine scents so those are out and I’m scared of Buzz Worthy lol

@@michellecoish3647 Buzz Worthy scares me too but I'm so curious! A friend of mine said she's sending me her bar because she doesn't like honey scents so I'll definitely give it a go. Wish me luck! 😅

[@Extravagantscents]

Thank you for reviewing these! Ive been watching your videos for awhile but never commented. I have noticed i have similar scent preferences to you and this helped me decide which scents i want to try. Like you, i did not purchase the kit🙂

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Hi Gem! 👋 Thank you so much! It's so nice to have you here. What bars are you most interested in?

[@Extravagantscents]

I am interested in dulche de leche, i am a huge bakery lover!! Also berry bubble blue and wild what a melon. Like you, i have a great sponsor who graviously mailed me some samples so i did not purchase the entire kit🙂​@BarsBrickswithBrandi

[@bethferrington3247]

Wild What a Melon has green apple in it so you were right! How does Apple Crush perform for you? Your “no” stacks are so funny! When you pushed them over I thought they might topple! 😂 I’m with you though, there are only a few I’m ordering too. Trying to be more picky.

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Michelle called it the leaning tower of no! 🤣😂 Apple Crush is on the lighter side in my home. I'd say about a 4/10. Which ones are on your list for this round?

[@bethferrington3247]

Apple Crush( was hoping it was strong) , Dulce de Leche, Wild What a Melon, Blackberry Meringue, Buzzworthy, Berry Bubble Blue, Surfer Chick, Happy go Lucky(b/c of your review!) Coconut Daiquiri, Red Delicious (just to compare to Johnny). Loved hearing your thoughts! Thanks so much for sharing Brandi! I love how your nose always picks up the tiniest hint of floral- “ooh is there floral in this bar?” So funny! I’m the same way! 😂

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

@@bethferrington3247 That's a great list Beth! I think you're going to be very happy with what you chose. I know... me and florals, I'm like a bloodhound 😄 that's so funny that you're that way too!

[@KiaraLemmone]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the BBMB's. Thanks to your sponsor for letting you borrow them.

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Thanks Kiara, these are always fun to sniff through with you all 😊

[@jessicagowanlock]

The BlackBerry meringue bar looks to be the same colour as cotton candy cookie and fuzzy blanket which are lighter bars too

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

You're right, they are very similar colours. Blackberry Meringue doesn't smell overly light on cold sniff. The top is a bit light but there seems to be a good amount of scent on the bottom so I'm hoping it does well. It definitely smells so much better than the older bars that were in clearance/flash.

[@brighthousescents8987]

Loved hearing your thoughts. LOL Farmers Market is so weird!

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Right? It has a fan following tho. I've got your video on deck for this morning. Can't wait to hear what you think 😃

[@allisamazingscents7408]

Hi Brandi! I was pleasantly surprised to see this video pop up because I know you don't typically get the early access BBMB kit. I'm holding out too so this was super helpful. I agree that the Summer Collection featuring Coconut Daquari was the best Summer Collection ever but the bar is just too light, although it's wonderful in body products! I recently warmed a bar that was at least a year old and it sadly just did not perform. My top 3 that I'm most excited about are Deluce de Leche, Surfer Chick and Dark Harbor. Is Dark Harbor at all like Marvel Nine Realms? You also got me excited about Cranberry Sandalwood if there's not too much spice. Love me some Ghostly Greetings! Thanks so much for this helpful and entertaining video!

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

That summer collection was the best! I loved it so much! ❤ My aged bar of Coconut Daiquiri didn't do well either so we're definitely on the same page. It's tempting to try again even tho I know I shouldn't. Someone mentioned trying it in the candle crock so I might pick up at least one bar and try that. I don't find Dark Harbor and Nine Realms all that similar. That being said, they both have a masculine lean so I haven't done any extensive comparison. Others are getting more winter vibes from Cranberry Sandalwood so maybe I'm the odd one out on my opinion. It isn't the same as Ghostly Greetings to me but fits that category because I find it a dark, musky, incense type of scent that feels October to me 🤷‍♀️ Most people are loving it so its probably a safe bet either way. Thanks so much Alli and I'm super looking forward to seeing what you choose and hearing your thoughts! 😊

[@allisamazingscents7408]

@BarsBrickswithBrandi Thanks Brandi!

@@BarsBrickswithBrandi hey! So I just warmed happy go lucky in my daughters bedroom and it does not remind me of love and happiness 😭. It reminds me Of one of the frozen bars maybe it was frozen two and was a purple wax but I can’t remember the name. I do still really like it though

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

@@jessicagowanlock Did you get Love & Happiness vibes on the top on cold? That's where I noticed it. I'm glad it's still a good bar! I was thinking maybe I should get a few my first order but I think I'll just stick with one and see how that goes first. Thanks for letting me know! 😊

@@BarsBrickswithBrandi no I didn’t get any love and happiness vibes on cold 😔. However love and happiness is a top two bar for me so maybe I am more “picky” with it

I've tried it in a hot plate and didn't have much luck but I've never tried it in a candle crock as I only just got one recently. That's a great idea Laura, thank you! I think I'll pick up a bar and give that a try because I really do love the scent! ❤

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

No, I don't think that's negative at all. It's so similar to Johnny Appleseed that I agree! It is a bit of waste of a spot. I was so impressed with a fresh pour of Blackberry Meringue as opposed to those really old bars they cleared out last year. The scent difference is night and day to me. You have a nice list there! 😃
