Scentsy EMPTIES 1st Part of December 2023

[@tubbysdsu]

I really enjoyed this video. I been purchasing scenty for about 7 years now. Normally I stick to my core scents but I'm starting to purchase other scents now. I love how you will say what you think the scent smells like and which may not be what the company lists. This helps me relate it to scents I may know and if it is for me or not. Please keep that up it helps me get a better idea of what the true smell might be like. You speak very clearly and have a nice professional voice to listen to. Great presentation skills. Take care and I wish you the best

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Thank you for the nice feedback! Glad you enjoyed

[@tubbysdsu]

@PatriciaG-NosetoToes hi I'm very sorry to bother you. I have an important question. For a house with large living areas which do you recommend to use wax, oil, or pods?

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

@@tubbysdsudefinitely wax! 1-2 full-size warmers per room or zone. Example an open layout that’s small might have 3 warmers but a bigger one might need 5-6, or more! Ceramic 25w bulb warmers are best in my experience.

[@tubbysdsu]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes thank you so much!!! I really appreciate this!

[@ket4ce]

❤️🌟🎄 I used to order BBMB wax just based on the description and have since learned my lesson from that. Now, i make a list of ones that sound nice, i watch your KZbin reviews as well as others first sniff thoughts, and then i request samples from my consultant. This is, IMO, the best way to make the decision.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

You sound like a pro (that’s learned from experience)

[@christinesmith7810]

I like when you talk about retired bars! I get a lot of my bars from flash sales and mystery bundles. I

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes it’s very common now. I see my older videos on Tester Tuesday get a resurgence when retired scents ones end up in clearance or flash sakes.

[@christinesmith7810]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I add all BBMB to my quarterly club and after watching many videos I choose

[@hollybradley8911]

My Enchanted Mist had also turned a bright yellow! I finally used it up.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

It’s crazy the difference

[@jessicagowanlock]

When I was a customer I would pick bars from the BBMB list I thought I would like (also watched KZbin videos). Then I would warm them and at the end of the month I stocked up on the ones that I liked and loved and then added the ones that I loved into my club and I also added two bars to my club because I find when I love a new scent I always warm it more to start then I don’t warm it as much and I’ll then bring it down to one bar. Now that I am a consultant I bought the early access kit and I have a list going on what I want more of which I will purchase at the start of the month and then add what I want to club.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes things change when you have early access.

[@desireeasselinpena]

I do like to hear reviews on scents I’ve never had and I put bars I know I love in my club. I will probably get a 6 pack or 2 of the bars I want to try/warm when I place a January order. 🤗

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I’m debating on “when” to place my January order

[@penney1307]

I listen to reviews to help prioritize the bars I will order. I keep in mind that by the time I warm them they’ll have cured a bit longer in case they’re fresh pours for reviewers. I usually pass on the light bars. Even if I discover one bar that I’ll actually put in my club it’s a good round for me. I’d be stressed if I had to drastically weed out club bars every six months. Tfs!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes sometimes it’s nice to not have too many loves / ones to club

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Great empties Patricia! I'm working on catching up on videos this morning so I'm a little late to the game here. I tried Crazy Coconut a number of years ago and remember it being sweeter. Now it seems very waxy and flat. I'm not quite sure if it's just a matter of cure time or a change in scent preference over the years. As for bbmb I sometimes get the kit but also have rounds where I wait for reviews. It just all depends. Have a great Sunday! 😊

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Scent preferences / changes in that area definitely are a thing. Sometimes it’s a good reminder to revisit something before stocking up

[@LeticiaWorboys]

Great video!! I plan to order about 8 BBMB.scents and the Mardi Gras scents right away. I'm just tooo excited and cant wait. Lol

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

My Mardi Gras video will post Monday I think - but I like that collection overall.

[@SpanishHalo]

Vanilla mint is so good in the pods

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I have 4 sets I’m hoarding.

[@misskellymac]

Great empties, I just recently tried Scarlet Sunflower in the wax and I enjoyed it. I wonder if Scentsy body products are stronger? I used to buy the entire BBMB wax collection when I was a consultant because most of the fragrances were new to me. Then later tried clubbing faves ( failed). The best way for me is to just buy what I want at the beginning of the season. It works and these bars have great longevity with performance.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Thanks for watching Kelly. Rest up and Merry Christmas of course!!!

[@misskellymac]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I will rest, 😁 Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday 🎂 🥰

[@melissabaldwin9462]

For BBMB I make a list based on scent description since I usually don't know the scent. I watch as many reviews as I can to narrow down my list and then I throw them into club. I like to warm things seasonally and my club doesn't ship until May so I get to it eventually but it's safe in the club just case I love it. If it is a seasonal scent I will pick up that bar and put it in club after I receive it. June had a lot of seasonal appropriate like White Sands, Southern Sweet Tea and Happy Birthday ( June b--day for me) so I got those right away but clubbed Hemingway cuz it's more fall weather heavy masculine scent.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

That’s a smart approach Spreads out the $$ that way too

[@patricedalling9846]

Well I buy the consultant kit so then I know. The ones I want to put in my club I buy a few to get a tiny stock pile ahead, like one or 2 then the ones I like I grab one or 2 of. I'll wait till I want more stuff to purchase them to save on shipping.

[@patricedalling9846]

I've been trying to slow down on the big orders to keep my stash reasonable but my club is getting outta hand now lol

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

My club is big right now but I’ll ace a gif portion in February once I know what’s returning

[@patricedalling9846]

@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I need to place an order for some licensed bars and remove all the ones available. Then I'm hoping some LTOs from last summer make the catalouge and there goes a huge chunk cause 3 or 4 from the bbmb is going in my club too

[@janemac6084]

I look at the scent notes on the bbmbs first, see if I like the sound of them then I research to see if there have been any reviews on them and then I wait and buy a bundle or 2 depending on how many I like the sound of. I usually add them straight to club before trying them and delete them as I try them if they fail to make the grade on performance . 🤗

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes I prefer to bundle and save first, and add the keepers to club

[@hollybradley8911]

I am a new consultant this time around but I don’t think I’m going to get the kit bc I don’t love patchouli. 😅 I will probably order a few that I’ve narrowed down at the beginning and and then put my favorites in my club.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

That’s smart

[@g.m.6977]

I’m going to have to watch warm reviews for these BBMB’s. Not many appeal to me by the scent notes. I’ll probably add a few to my club to try. Farmhouse Fir had a “cat” smell to me after being in the warmer a while.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I hate the cat coming to visit.

[@debbieneville7146]

I love coffee scents and they need to get a barista from Australia to make a strong Expresso coffee scent, we love coffee in Australia, we have cafe's everywhere, and a good strong coffee scent would go down well. I am looking forward to Cozy Chai which is Dan's pick in our BBMB in January. I would love an Expresso Vanilla Bean Buttercream scent, should have been in the collection. I used to buy Early Access but have been so disappointed I will be buying the scents I think appeal to me in a bundle from now on. I am so excited as we are getting Quiver as a Dan's pick, I have two cubes left from a flash sale and it will definitely go in my club.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I’ll have to look up R3 winners. Yes they could use a good coffee collection without odd/weird notes added that smell like a variety of coffees and that perform well

[@acadiaterritory7178]

Thanks! My guy loves Fiji Flower in Laundry too. BBMB, the past 2 years I bought them all. This time I might just pop a few of them in my club, and grab some others on clearance if I hear some good reviews on them. I am getting more picky lately with my purchases.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Picky is sometimes a good thing

[@shondimacdonald]

I make a list of all the bars and read through the scent notes and mark which ones I want to try, which are maybes and which are definitely not bars for me! Then I watch a lot of reviews to find out what others are picking up (hidden notes) and performance, etc. My club ships mid-January, so I will probably just add the ones I decide to try to my club rather than pay extra shipping.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Sounds like you know what you’re doing!! ☺️

[@HappyHomeScent]

Thanks for the video Patricia! January will be my first BBMB & my first club order. I’ll probably add 5 or 6 BBMB bars to my club order to try ASAP and by end of Jan, I’ll have watched more reviews so I can add a few more that I won’t get until April. Looking forward to it!!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

It’s always a fun time of year for Scentsy fans

[@jingles.1228]

Christmas Cactus is not for me either. I will struggle through the few bars I have, but it wouldn't be a re-purchase. For BBMB - in the past, I've just ordered the scents I thought I would like. As could be expected, this has come back to bite me, and I've missed out on some I'd really like to have in my club. This year, I want to purchase the bundle and work my way through the bars carefully (take notes, warm them several times in different areas of my home, etc) so I don't miss anything club-worthy to me. Thanks for another great empties video!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Maybe add to club and as you work through them decide to keep or axe

[@jingles.1228]

Oh! You are right...great idea! Never even thought of that. @@PatriciaG-NosetoToes

[@butterflyscents]

Great empties. How do you remeber the scent notes? I always need to look them up and write down b4 I film my empties.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I remember some but for empties videos I actually keep a notebook of the scents I’ve warmed. It’s on the floor and I’m constantly glancing down to read them. 🤓

[@ginger7681]

I put the BBMB I want to try in my club for the shipping discount. If I like them well enough, I'll keep them. If I don't prefer to keep them, I'll remove those from club.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Thanks! How long is your list?

[@brookeharris6004]

About the rugby licensed bars, I have all blacks in my club and got an email from Scentsy saying that they are not continuing the licensing agreement and it will be ending at the end of March.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Thank you. I wonder now about NHL and NFL

[@hannahhaddad9565]

For bbmb, I watch a lot of videos, narrow it down to bars that are reportedly either strong or long lasting, and from that group I pick a few that I think I'm most likely to enjoy then I stick them in my club. It's usually just a few bars. Definitely under 5. I am probably missing out on things I'd like but I haven't had the best luck with blind buys and don't want a huge stash of bars I have to "get" through, as opposed to bars that I'm looking forward to warming, so...that's how I do it!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes it’s hard to get through dislikes (and for me I have many “meh” scents I’ve accumulated so I know what you mean)

[@aprilthernandez]

Can I still buy a BBMB Kit?

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I believe consultant early access kits are available until Dec 31st

[@2julsofmine]

I wish they’d bring back Blizzard Berry and Candy Cane wishes.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

From your lips to God’s ears!

[@angihale7091]

Blizzard Berry is one of my top favorites. I finished my last bar of VanillaMint, and the white wax turns aqua blue when warmed. Dancing Sugar Plums I was upset, did Not come back this year.😢 I'm Truly hopeful that Boho comes back.🙏 I approach BBMB with about a $300 order.😅

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I’ve never had my Vanillamint change color but I’ll watch for it in future

[@Sara_WI]

I decided against the early access because I usually have several bars I really dislike. In the interest of saving money, this time I'm watching reviews on KZbin & making a list. I have 11 or 12 I'll be trying. Simply Patchouli is a maybe lol.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Pretty sure I’m not looking forward to Simply Patchouli

[@betsybabf748]

I throw the BBMB that I may like in club, then remove the ones which I don't want to keep getting.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes - gradually weed ones out

[@coraself589]

I put BBMB in my club then I wait for reviews then decide whether to keep them or not. I have a quarterly club

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Sounds smart

[@karencarvell114]

I have my list ready for BBMB and it changes as I watch different reviews. I like to order at the start so I can warm and decide if any need to be added to my club order - which I think is March for me

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Id suggest warming any vanilla based scents at the end of your list to give them the most cure time

[@CharitySRose]

What letter? Did I miss something? Oh yes I wanted to try blizzard berry.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I had asked for help from the community in generating a list of LTO scents since 2015 to present to send to Scentsy. Mainly to remind them of all the scents that should be rotated through / offered as voting options for Bbmb rounds. Maybe a few scents each round over time to give those scents a chance to return too. I sent the list through the workstation but worry it would just get ignored so I’ll try to send a paper copy too. I don’t know who to address it to. They wouldn’t give me a name or address when I submitted a ticket to ask for help.

[@CharitySRose]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToesI love this. I wish KZbin would show me people’s community tab more. Can’t wait to hear an update.

[@thescentedhome]

Hi is Toasted Marshmallow on the list? I wish that would come back and I would never let it go… it’s never an option in BBMB 😭 for BBMB I go with notes and the name and take my chances and make temporary club

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Toasted MM made it to the catalog one season if memory serves me so they should “know” about that one …but it was in the LTO list
