Oh just watched more… I joined as a consultant Jan 1 and got a box of dryer sheets in my starter box - 80 sheets in Clothesline. As soon as I opened the outer box (not the inside one!) I said - there’s the dryer sheets! They smelled so strong. I think the FedEx guy probably smelled them in his truck. Haven’t used them yet! But they’re scenting the laundry room! :) Thanks Patricia!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Thanks for the info about the dryer sheets and welcome!! I just answered your last question but you probably got a catalog in your kit. Take 1 and put it aside as your copy (and make sure friends/family/customers get the rest).

[@lauraleenichols6013]

I agree with your bundle theory- much prefer individual bars. I’m clubbing Silver Bells, Snowberry, Polar Bear Hug, and Apple Cherry Strudel.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I don’t know why but I can never smell Apple Cherry Strudel warming - makes me sad because on cold it smells delicious

[@acadiaterritory7178]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I cannot smell it on warm either. And you are right, it is so good on cold.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Maybe when I move I’ll be able to smell it

[@CharitySRose]

I think they should do individual bars always. I’m not a fan of bundles. Luckily I have a club coming so I’ll add a few that I like to that. Sorry I caught the end of your live. Hope the move is going well. When we built our home we sold one then had to move to an apartment for 6 months then we moved in. Moving twice in 6 months with 5 kids sucked. lol. Prayers!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

We’re going to tough out the tight quarters for about 4-5 years. Around that time I’d expect Erica would be moving out on her own after university 😫

[@CharitySRose]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes it’s so tough having them grow up. I’m struggling. Sending you love and prayers.

[@g.m.6977]

The bars that lost scent with age were Sunburst Bamboo, Maholo Coconut & Aladdin Whole New World. I didn’t purchase anything from the Fall/Winter Catalog. I had enough wax in my stash to get me through the season. I put Pink Spreads Hope, Rum Pum Plum & Vanilla Barnwood in my club so I could try them later. I’ll most likely add a few more when we know what Spring/Summer scents are coming back. I love Pretty in Plaid, glad I have a brick because it was gone before I had a club.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes A While New World went off for me too. I renamed it “A Whole New Scent” after that.

[@CJ-rx5fi]

Love Olaf! It’s gentle and woodsy and minty and perfect for after the holidays. I usually get fall and winter bundles because those are my favorite types of scents so I’m more willing to take the risk. I’m not a huge floral fan so for spring and summer bundles, I’ll put one in my club if I’m really curious about it or there’s a lot of buzz about it. Scentsy would definitely get more of my money during spring and summer if they were available individually! Best of luck with your upcoming move!! 🎉

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Individual is best for people not wanting to gamble

[@TerriG_104]

Around the campfire is a staple in my club. I just love it. I do love Silver Bells and will keep that. I clubbed sleigh ride. But my problem is I have so many scents that I take my club items for granted and I don’t warm them like I should be

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

It’s hard to get to club when so much new stuff comes out.

[@jacquelinehofler7741]

This is a great collection, especially for a bedroom! I Pick You is my favorite. The throw is amazing!!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Good to hear! Thank you in advance

[@braddlepaddle6208]

I missed the live but always happy to watch a new Patricia video! I’ve just discovered Cozy Chai in our R3 BBMB - yummo! It’s a bit heavy for our current summer temperatures but I’m sure will be lovely in autumn and winter 😊

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes more of a cold weather scent. Glad you found a new love

[@Sara_WI]

I appreciate at ads at the beginning or end!!!! Great video 😊

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I prefer no ads during the video too

[@liisalahti3870]

I like the bundles, you never know if a bar is going to be a good one!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes they can sneak in a surprise

[@emilymarston3653]

All should be allowed to purchase individually

[@summertofall]

I’d still club at least one bar of Cashmere & Corduroy because it seems nothing is safe. I figured out a few ways to make clubs many months in advance mainly to keep bars safe until I want them again. Doing this can be a little complicated, but I don’t mind it. I got the idea originally from Melt It Michelle’s ‘hack club’ videos, but changed a few things.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

If u you pure on Instagram and want to message me about the club thing feel free! You’re right about Cashmere & Corduroy

[@acadiaterritory7178]

I have not bought a thing yet in 2024!! Waiting on my Club to process on Jan. 16th. I would prefer the choice to buy individual bars or if we have to buy the bundle make it a bargain (like 15 bucks for a 3 pack). For Club I don’t know what to put in there, this is such a constant battle with me… But my top 3 catalogue scents this season would be: Cashmere & Corduroy, Silver Bells and Dashing.

[@acadiaterritory7178]

Oh Around the Campfire I will club, that one is so unique.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I’m risking Dashing.

[@acadiaterritory7178]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I think that is a good risk. It has got to come back!!

[@TerriG_104]

Yes please strong and long! That’s how I found you on utube. My club looks ridiculous with what is in it. Trying to narrow down…. I try to keep what I love most but I need them to be strong and I really love when they last long.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I’ll try! I’ll just pick the 12 strongest and hope they are good for people in hard to scent open areas (like what I deal with now)

[@bethferrington3247]

My order from Jan 1st is still posted status, impatiently waiting. I prefer individual bars too. Will club Cranapple Crumble, Scary Good for sure. I’m loving a few of the new releases but will probably gamble on those. I’ve got to start being picky with the club, it’s crazy! Really enjoyed the chatty video, happy Sunday! ☺️ Pear-fectly Cute sounds nice.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Did you order any individual Mardi Gras bars in bundles instead of the boxed set of 5 by any chance?

[@bethferrington3247]

I did order a few King Cake. Wasn’t sure on the others but my next order think I’ll try Street Parade and Midnight Masquerade. Trying to slow down on ordering every new thing and be more careful! It’s hard lol

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

@@bethferrington3247the loose Mardi Gras might be the culprit

[@karencarvell114]

I laughed when Ryan asked for better options - I am not a fan of Friends. Thanks for another video. I also wish the Valentine's Collection could be bought as separate bars ...not just a club option. I will for sure be adding/keeping Silver Bells in my club.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yeah I laughed when he stared at me and then that’s what came out of his mouth.

[@LeticiaWorboys]

I have a few I'm definitely clubbing. Silver Bells, Frosted Vanilla, Around the Campfire, pumpkin roll, Artic Kiss, Scarlet sunflower, cinnamon pinecones plus I'm sure some of the BBMB I'll plan to club. I'm in trouble unless I can kick out alot of my spring summer scents. Lol 😂 I'm currently melting rum raisin cookie in my kitchen and open layout.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I like RRCookie so much!! Good luck with the club

[@HappyHomeScent]

I wanted to try Rum Pum Plum & Vanilla Barnwood and on the last day I realized those were holiday bars so threw them in my club (first club! it just posted…) Is there a way to tell on the website which bars are part of a collection (which goes away sooner) and which ones are from the catalog? I get confused on what is what sometimes. It would help me if Scentsy could put a “leaving soon” notice - is that a thing? I’m ok with trying bars from a bundle bc I like to be surprised sometimes. And if I like one - I will add it to the club as a separate bar. I have a lot of wax that I’m not sure about yet - so what’s one more?? 😂 ~Wendy

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

At the very bottom of the Scentsy website you can see a spot where it says “View our catalog” - you can see the catalog scents there (plus towards the back of the catalog is a master color coded scent list that’s invaluable) Hope that helps

[@HappyHomeScent]

Ok - I’ll just keep my catalog handy! Thank you 😊

[@abbysmith2754]

What a fun surprise! We always welcome a Patricia visit - especially on laundry day!😊 I took notes between folding so I could remember it all. Thank you for limiting the ads to the beginning and end. I am happy to watch them when they are not every 3 minutes! I would prefer individual purchase rather than bundles. I have enough wax that I hesitate to purchase bundles and will just add to club instead. I wonder which is more profitable for Scentsy? Would you be willing to share why you are downsizing? We moved 7 years ago because we had our 5th baby and needed the room. But I would love to downsize again! Speaking of moving, will you be able to have a scentsy closet in your new home? I hope you can keep some of your collection! What is "a lot" of snow for you in Canada? They are forecasting for 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) on Tuesday here in Iowa. That is a moderate amount for us. We have had so little snow so far this winter so the grocery stores have been very busy this weekend. Need to get the toilet paper, milk, and bread before the snow!😂 Your family are such troopers letting you warm for review purposes for us! We are warming Silver Bells in the open concept, Wide Open Spaces in the master bed/bath, Best in Snow in the main bathroom, and Sandalwood Tangerine in the basement (My son loves it, but it is struggling down there). My top 3 that I am clubbing are Silver Bells, Pumpkin Roll/ Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl, and Cozy Cardigan. Those are my favorites that I worry will not return. Thanks for the visit! Smiles, Abby Smith

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Mainly lifestyle changes with Drew getting older. We will need to make some changes for when he’s done school and want to transition my husband out of the job he’s in now. Plus we’re having some bussing issues with the winter (we have a long hilled driveway) and the driveway won’t be an option where we’re going. Plus no shovelling (yay!) Right now both my husband and I are self employed so vacations rarely happen and we want to change that in the coming years. (Hence his eventual job change) Lots of snow here is 20cm or above Look up “White Juan” … that was a lot of snow for us!!

[@barsandbuddies]

I clubbed the Mandalorian for SURE! It has become my exclusive bedroom scent. Plus it had been available on and off for so long, it might be a long time before they bring it back again! I wish the BBMB voting wasn't just the top 200 best sellers. I don't think my beloved Red Pear & Pomegranate will ever come back because it was a scent of the month and probably didn't sell enough to qualify? Someday I'll find some on the scentsy "black market" I hope 😂 Good luck with your move!!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Are you looking for a bar or brick of Red Pear & Pomegranate?

[@barsandbuddies]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes Yes I've been keeping my eyes peeled for either. No luck yet!

[@hollybradley8911]

I’m warming Woodland Suede, Dashing and Pink Leather in separate rooms throughout the main level…it smells wonderful!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Omg that sounds lovely

[@jessicafrye4543]

Individual w/option to bundle. Im only interested in the zest one so now im stuck with 2 bars i don't want or wont warm. When I could bundle that one with 2 scents i do want. I love oh boy! Mickey bar. I get cherry from it. Love it's citrusy (cherry) goodness.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes cherry feels from Oh Boy!

[@angelasmith5765]

Inhale Exhale changes to a greenish color after awhile. My order from the 1st finally went to printed status. My hold up might have been the Heart to Heart warmer bc it went out of stock again.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Makes sense

[@cindysharon4215]

Love toasted acorn and oak! So sad cozy chai not in bbmb.have hazelnut latte and hug in mug may go. Not strong. Club cashmere, cinnamon pinecone, cinnamon bear. Silver bells 4 sure!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

The offerings this voting round were a bit underwhelming. Hopefully next round will be better

[@LeticiaWorboys]

Awe bummed that I missed the live. I love Olaf but I can barely smell it in my small bedroom. Im hoping it will cure maybe a tiny bit. I would definitely buy bars if sold separately. I end up putting the ones I want in my club so I guess that works too.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes- a good way around it, plus save more in club than buying the bundle

[@justjulie43]

BBMB I selected & received are: FGingerCookie, Crazy C, Bananas and Lots of Lavender I've warmed FGC (very, very strong) smells like a GingerSnap cookie just put on Crazy C (smells waxy very lite 😢) I think I'm going to purchase more Bananas to add to my Banana dirt bread got robbed of my Fresh Ice I'll buy a 3 or 6 no discount that's okay 😊 probably my favorite new to me scent My question is when are the dryer sheets available? Excellent video Mrs Patricia

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Haha - banana dirt bread! Dryer sheets will be in the new catalog on March 1st. If one were to join Scentsy THIS month then you get early access to them as a bonus part of the join kit , but everyone else has to wait!

[@darkchocolateice]

I would like individual bars.

[@SpanishHalo]

I ordered half of the bars and I like about 6 of them

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

The BBMBs? Which ones were good for you?

[@debbieneville7146]

I like to buy a bundle and then buy the ones I like best individually, I like strong scents best. I have yet to try this bundle may club the pear one to try.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes - it’s worth a try I think

[@gelatoni4679]

I will definitley club Icicles & Evergreen (someone else smells sweet green apples?), Sweet Orange Pomander, Cranberry & Tinsel, Silver Bells and Snowberry. I'm unsure about Berry Blessed, club or not to club? 🤔But I wish I could turn back time and club Cinnamon Pinecones, Caramel Chestnut, Welcome Home, Cider Mill, Autumn Heart and Whiteout. I case you wonder, here in Europe we have a different selection of scents. We don't even get the same BBMBs and unfortunately only 15 of them instead of 25 like you. It seems my taste is scentsywise not very european 😅

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes it’s like your club wishes are our current scents and the bars you plan to club have retired here. Interesting

[@hannahhaddad9565]

Re club edits, I was just wondering when we'll know what's coming back cause I'd love to take my summer bars out of my club! (I've only got 3 from SS but I want to pop some bbmbs in there to try so if I can get those bars out then I'll have more room.) From the winter catalog I'd like to club arctic kiss, silver bells, frosted vanilla, pumpkin cinnamon swirl, pumpkin roll and winterberry apple tea (and maybe around the campfire and black currant and plum because it lasts forever in a few of my upstairs rooms, my youngest LOVEs it and I just never hear anyone talk about it).

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I’d say late January we will here leaks from World Tour

[@hannahhaddad9565]

Thanks! And I thought I already said it, but didn't so...good luck on your move! I know I'd love it if my wax went a little farther and you can probably still enjoy those bigger smells; just cut down on the amount of wax you use if it's a strong scent. (Fingers crossed, right?)@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes

[@thescentedhome]

I’m melting Frosted Cinnamon Roll, I hope Toasted Marshmallow is part of BBMB voting.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I’m surprised Toasted Marshmallow hasn’t returned yet.

[@christinesmith7810]

I’d buy an Olaf brick if available!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

It was available late 2018/early 2019

[@mollyapp]

I think the only bar I’ve had that turned bad (that I’m aware of so far) was Just Keep Swimming. Mine turned into a horribly sour soapy smell after a couple years. I had it stored right next to a bar of Clothesline and I don’t know if that had anything to do with it.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Thanks for letting us know about Just Keep Swimming.

[@melissajohnsonhaight5036]

[@KiaraLemmone]

Did you think I pick you smelled like love story? Heard someone else say that. I am clubbing Cider Mill for sure. That is still my favourite Fall bar and would be upset if it disappeared.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes it’s close. Love Story is more neutral and I pick You is more floral but they both have that “grounded” feel

[@justjulie43]

individually

[@tiatish_]

Did I hear that someone uses a fridge?! I was under the impression that was a nono. Oh... a wine fridge? Is that different somehow & safe for wax? I'd put my absolute faves in a fridge. Thanks if anyone knows.😮

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I think Scentsy does NOT recommend any sort of refrigeration. I once told someone that and they lived in Mexico and they said without a fridge their bars would be liquid

[@tiatish_]

@PatriciaG-NosetoToes that's what I thought. I'm in SoCal & left my bars in the garage... you can guess what happened. I recently salvaged them, but a few were very messy & had missing wax (volume). In my house, it's a battle of turn on the air. So, I noticed the bars in the house were sweaty or leaked if they were on end. I don't think my wax buying will diminish much, so I'd like some better storage options.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I’ll let @AprilLeeWaxQueen weigh in but I believe the wine fridge is a better option than a regular fridge (although an extra expense)

[@fidget2484]

I like individually. I like the pearfectly cute and simply the zest. I pick you reminds me of harry potter bar the reddish one. But i would skip that one personally.

Thank You Patricia. I'm glad I found this today. I was wondering if I could order the Valentines or Mardi Gras collection. Also does anyone have a recommendation as to what scent I can mix with Midnight Mahogany? I really want to like it as I love woodsy scents but it is missing something. 🤔

[@myhardyboys1]

I have not tried midnight mahogany but I have not heard great things. Too dirty smelling. But Patricia will be better at sharing.

[@AimzP]

I really have no preference on bundle vs individual. Sometimes getting a bundle forces it to my favor (like there's one I'm definitely not excited about but has ended up being one of favs because I HAD to try it fur to it being a bundle) so that's a benefit to me of bundle. But sometimes I try the bundle and love all but one or two then I really wish I could get individual. The open plains collection was one that I would have really really liked to purchase individually because I am out right in love with all of it except the hometown cowboy The colony one that one just does not perform in my home it just I can't get anything from it but I'm honestly in absolute love with the others and when they dropped the bundle price I got a few bundles

[@AimzP]

Im glad the mardis gras can be purchased separately because I'm all about midnight masquerade and street iparade

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I haven’t tried any mixes myself but I often joke to mix similar colors together. Do you want it creamier or more vibrant? I’m sure some of our expert Mixer KZbinrs will come up with something

[@myhardyboys1]

Keep it sassy. Yes, that is what it smells like to me!! Not a strawberry.

[@stacywn1115]

Team individual. I feel like if it is a beautifully curated bundle you will want them all anyway. I think they did a great job with the Mardi Gras collection. They are great together and unique enough to stand on their own. And we can get that collection separately. I’m glad of that because I have some stand out favorites but I will order them all again as well. I also feel like the bring back my bars are not as long lasting as I remember them but I’m not sure if I’m just miss remembering performance.
