Hi Robyn, Im a Canadian 🍁 consultant and i try to get excited about the BBMB Voting but for the past 6yrs, nothing I vote for gets voted back, so I really think that Scentsy has the most say in What's Coming Back, and I feel it's just a Fun Game we're playing for 2 days of voting because why in 6yrs, has nothing I, and my daughter vote for, Never comes back! That's just my thoughts on this BBMB Stuff! Glad to watch your video....I always am ♥

[@Hollieford89]

Yes o agree

[@RobynH]

Fingers crossed one of your picks comes back!

[@kara5219-Krose_8]

😂”Do not warm this in a bedroom”. 😂I think I’m out on this one. I warm wax to remove the smell of garlic, not scent my house with it 😂😂 I so appreciate your ability to stay open minded. They can’t pull off coffee, but they did nail garlic and oregano. 😂

[@RobynH]

It is funny how spaghetti sauce and garlic toast is SPOT ON, but coffee they’re just like 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🧐😶

[@sarahbarkley5259]

I used to work at Olive Garden, when I was first married. My husband always tells how I would come home smelling like breadsticks, and he loved it. So when you said it smells like Olive Garden, I told my husband, and told him I’d put it in the bedroom for him. And then you said not to do that. 🤣 I really wouldn’t but it’s funny that we both mentioned the bedroom. I can’t remember what the first catalog had for scents, but I’d be super happy to bring back Sugar Cookie! And I’m hoping Fresh Cut Grass makes it into the voting list again; it’s been a while and I need it back!

[@RobynH]

LOOOL I love that it’s a nostalgic scent for you guys because of working at Olive Garden 😂! Thats so funny. You should absolutely try it for nostalgias sake! 😂

[@cathrynking]

Swan creek has an Italian bread called Italian Countryside. I get that Monday. Looking forward to trying this new bar. I put in my monthly club to grab.

[@RobynH]

Ooo that bread sounds delicious!!!

[@betsybabf748]

I'm Italian-American. I melt wax to get the smell of garlic OUT of my house.

[@RobynH]

LOOOL, yep, I think many folks will feel this way about this bar!😅 I’m glad I got it but I can’t see getting more lol.

[@desertpinevintage]

How cute!

[@mitzismith_scentslikehome9893]

I got the ratatoullie collection. The bar smelled like a garlic baguette with bruschetta on top. I loved how unique this scent was for scentsy. It'll stay in club for a while since theres nothing else like it. Definitely not for everyone though. Hope to see vanilla oud and beloved LTOs back!

[@RobynH]

I agree, I applaud how different it is - I absolutely haven’t smelled ANYTHING else like this anywhere. But it’s definitely a niche scent and not for everyone!

[@TokiMadeira]

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

[@thefragrancefairy]

Hi Robyn I love Hundred Acre Woods as well. lol spaghetti, this bar intrigues me. 😂 Great haul. 👍

[@shondimacdonald]

I’m hoping to see Vanilla Oud and Apple S’mores. I’ve never tried Pacific Sandalwood but have heard rave reviews. I’m all for a good bread scent, but not a savoury one! Looking forward to your warm review! 😊

[@RobynH]

Ooooo YES Apple S’mores will get tons of my votes too if it’s on the list!!! I agree - I’d love an actual French bread scent. This isn’t the bread scent anyone asked for, but it’s certainly different 😅

[@Sara_WI]

Also hoping for Pacific Sandalwood & Vanilla Oud. I'd like to see Apple Butter Frosting & My Hero

[@meltingmemoriesco]

The ratatouille sounds sooooo interesting!!!

[@RobynH]

That is is LOL - probably the weirdest home fragrance scent I’ve ever smelled 😂

[@beckyfranks2804]

I watched a few videos on the bar and decided to get it. Since I am one of the few who loves tomato vine, I figured I would like this one. It was a big NO for me 😂 I put in kitchen - 2 different plug ins, just 1/2 a cube in each warmer and it smelled like pizza to me - from like an authentic pizzeria…. Which would be fine if I were in such a place, but for my home - I had to take it out after an hour 😮 I did choose a dreary day to warm it but it’s just too weird of a bar and I don’t think there’s another bar I could figure out to mix it with 😂😂😂 I’ll be looking for your warm review on it 😊

[@RobynH]

LOL, yes it is a VERY specific type of scent isn’t it lol? As for mixes - I’m stumped LOL! I can’t come up with anything that would play well with this! 😅

[@juliebngracieandolive6750]

Chuckled along with you on your reaction to the Ratatouille bar. The way your mind was thinking thru so much more than you were saying, yeah, def not a bedroom scent 😆 I'm on the fence whether or not to try based on the mixed review of many people who post their reactions, I have it sitting in a club pending for Sep along with other LTO's and BBMB I'm considering, NOT sure if i'm gonna let it stay in there. ☺ I'm not familiar with many older scents enough to wish them back, but I do love the discontinued Cloves & Cinn Bar when it's available. Thanks for sharing your haul! 👍👍

[@RobynH]

Ratatouille I would consider a novelty scent lol - I can’t see anyone warming it often but it is SO unlike anything else I’ve ever smelled it’s worth having just for the novelty 😅

[@hannahhaddad9565]

Oh brave you for getting that bar garlicky bar! I have absolutely no desire to GET something that smells like savory food. I often will get bars to cover up food smells but that's about it. So funny, but someone's probably going to absolutely love it (in which case, thank heavens for club, right?). I would LOVE to see vanilla oud back because I've heard so much about it but never had any myself. I think it would be great to include some LTOs in bbmb voting too because there's no way the sales on those would get them in but some of them are really great. Oh and, I don't know if it's eligible or not but I really want to see applebutter frosting back!

[@RobynH]

I would love to see LTOs included in BBMB!

[@jessicagowanlock]

I never got a single ice pack last summer either! I got an order last week and it had two ice packs!

[@RobynH]

Yay!!! That is encouraging!

[@jessicagowanlock]

Ohh I hope that apple butter frosting can be up for voting. Also banana nut bread from the first catalog and I still have never tried pink haze or sugar so those are my four I would like

[@RobynH]

We haven’t had Banana Nut Bread in awhile - although it may not be eligible since we had it in BBMB about 3 years ago. Apple Butter Frosting should be eligible as it hasn’t been back in BBMB yet and has been retired for some time!!!

[@Hollieford89]

@@jessicagowanlock ooo banana nut bread is good

[@jessicagowanlock]

@@Hollieford89 I haven’t tried it before and I hear so much about it

[@karencarvell114]

Thanks Robyn! Ratatouille will be a pass for me for sure -" weird in wax" made me laugh. I like to see what's offered in BBMB but I stopped voting on multiple sites because I feel like what I vote for rarely makes it. I took Sugar out of my club so I would like to see it back. I am sure I will find something in the next round of BBMB I will "need"!

[@RobynH]

Out of 20 scents there’s usually a few winners for sure! I look forward to seeing what we end up with!

[@sherylharris4489]

Such a bizarre sounding bar. I didn’t even try it. Maybe I should. 🍝

[@RobynH]

It is definitely bizarre. I’m glad I only got one bar but I’m glad I tried it purely for the novelty 😅

[@melissabaldwin9462]

I'm gonna keep voting for Sheer Innocence as long as they put it out there. It's my favorite bathroom scent and may be an original. I got into Scentsy in 2009 so a couple catalogs past the first one.

[@RobynH]

Ooo what does it smell like?

[@melissabaldwin9462]

@@RobynH it's a light medium floral with a touch of ginger that you really can't smell but adds a depth to the orchid, violets and freesia.

[@laurenabbott4750]

I hope they have some LTO scents available for voting!! Id love Pacific Sandalwood!!!

[@RobynH]

Agree on the LTO scents and Pacific Sandalwood!

[@tammytolbert5499]

Yeah Bon Appetite was good with 2 cubes while I cooked Baked Spaghetti and we ate! After we were done it had to come out and Lemon went in 😂🍝

[@RobynH]

LOL I think you did it right - to be warmed during spaghetti dinner and then removed lol.

[@amberaouatefi]

You brave girl for trying that garlic bar! 🤣🤣. Huge pass for me. That's a scent that I try to get out of my home when cooking, not putting it in to warm! 🤣🤣🥰🥰. I can see how it might appeal to some people as I love my pasta but it's just not a scent I would want to warm in my home. Very creative! If only we could get a good coffee scent now!! Thanks for sharing. Love the clam shell tassel and fragrance flowers! Take care and God bless 🙂❤

[@RobynH]

LOL they somehow nailed spaghetti, but coffee they struggle with! 😅 fingers crossed for good coffee sometime soon!

[@KiaraLemmone]

I am really hoping to see Luxe Vanilla, and Cozy Spice. I want both in my club so bad. Luxe Vanilla is beautiful and I love Cozy Spice and haven't found anything close to it yet. I don't think it matters much though. The bars that are in the top 25 often don't end up being what we get. Sometimes we see bars that were never in the top 25 the entire time we vote.

[@RobynH]

I do remember seeing a couple this round that weren’t in the top 25. I wonder if sometimes they go further down the 25 list because some of the top 25 they could no longer source oils for or the prices of the oils have increased beyond making them financially feasible at regular bar prices. Just a guess, but would explain why we don’t get an announcement of winners til a month after voting - they’ve probably got to do the leg work and make sure they can make the winners.

[@katiegerlach5958]

Pacific sandalwood It's one of Patricia Gaetz top 3 scents...and I've never tried it. Will be getting the ratatouille bar just to try it

[@RobynH]

Pacific Sandalwood is one of my all time faves too, we need it back!!! LOL the Ratatouille bar is totally worth trying just for the novelty 😂 - there’s nothing else like it.

[@rebeccacollin550]

As for what I'd like to see on the voting list for round 2, I'd love to see ~ Mandarin Toffee Treat. It's the "original" Gimmie Candy but not as cloyingly sweet because the Mandarin tones it down a bit and adds a really nice citrus twist to it. ~ Fiesta Lime. It's one of my preferred lime scents. Leans a bit cleaner esque but in a good way to me. ~ Black Forest Pine. It's a great deep woody cologne scent that's an all year round scent ~ Stargazing. It's a good laundry- ish bar. I get a nice fizzy almost soda pop note to it . ~ Aloe Vera and Ivy. It's a really pretty deep green scent. ~ Tomato Vine. I'm one of those people that really likes that fresh straight from the garden ripe green smell. Lol ~ Sunny and Share. It was a very pretty bar. ~ Then anything older, that's new to all of us. Something that hasn't been back since before Scentsy Club started in the fall of 2018. I want to find new favorites. Some that most of us have never heard of.

[@RobynH]

I think I may have possibly had Mandarin Toffee Treat in a sample or something many years ago! I remember enjoying it! I love Stargazing too!

[@myhardyboys1]

I bought ratatouille and I absolutely love it and I bought a six pack. But I’m always looking for a good bread set and it is definitely a good bread.

[@RobynH]

Yay!!! I’m glad you love it!!

[@hollybradley8911]

A bathroom would be BAD, too 😂😂😂

[@RobynH]

🤣🤣🤣

[@BigBroDoug]

We warmed the bar for about 8 hours. I’m not sure I’ve ever smelled a more authentic bar. It smelled like spaghetti sauce simmering on the stove all day. I actually loved it but it is a very specific scent and I’m not sure if it’s a scent that can be melted often. I don’t think Vanilla Oud is eligible to come back since it was back in the fall of 2020. I like the way they have been changing the voting options up. Though, LTOs have no shot in the current t format because there is no way they are around long enough to be in the top 200 of all time. Maybe they will switch that up next year.

[@RobynH]

Oof, probably at least another year before we can hope for Vanilla Oud then! I agree about Ratatouille, SPOT ON scent but not one I can see most people warming often!

[@LindaN-gn6xk]

I so wish Born To Shine would come up for voting on BBMB. It was an LTO, and I heard LTOs don't come up for voting, so I guess I'm out of luck.

[@RobynH]

They typically don’t come up for voting - I wish they would!!!

[@LindaN-gn6xk]

@RobynH Oh, that's just wrong. Maybe they should do like the voting coming up. Round 1, LTO's. Round 2, the others. I'm so mad that I took it out of my club. Same with the Mango Margarita. (I think that was the name) If I ever see either one of those in clearance, you can bet I'll be buying a bunch. 😂

[@debbieneville7146]

I have no desire to have my house smell like garlic bread, so that is a big No for me. I must try the Hundred Acre Wood Bar as I love Lavender. I am hoping we get a strong Coffee Scent like coffee tree. We have Pacific Sandalwood as a catalogue bar, it is so wonderful and Vanilla Oud was just voted in. I would love to try Rainbow Sherbert and Dark Harbour, my biggest regret for not clubbing a bar was Violet and Lavender, would like to see Snuggle Up and Wooly Slippers on the list too.🌈

[@RobynH]

Oooo youre in region 3! Yes, SO envious of your Pacific Sandalwood and BBMB Vanilla Oud!!

[@abbysmith2754]

It is encouraging that you have those scents in your region! Maybe they will be eligible for the US since they have the oils?🤞 Your options are beautiful! Smiles, Abby Smith

[@Hollieford89]

Would love see a video on your votes for bbmb January 2025. ❤

[@christinesmith7810]

I’m sure if I melted ratatouille bar my family would be disappointed it wasn’t food they were smelling 😂

Here's my list of hopes to see up for voting in Round 2: Blue Hyacinth Darling Dahlia Graduation Graham Cracker Crunch Hey Tiger Lily Maraschino Sugar Cookie Rainforest Bungalow Strawberry Rose Toasted Acorn Oak Toasted Marshmallow Vanilla Waves

[@RobynH]

Oooo Graham Cracker Crunch - good call!!! I miss that one so much! One bar a quarter isn’t nearly enough!

[@KarenShirey]

I can't even bring myself to sniff Ratatouille ... garlic....nope! not for me. BBMB hopefuls: Luxe Vanilla, Vanilla Waves, Applebutter Frosting, Pacific Sandalwood, Vanilla Oud.
