Scentsy Stuff...


Although I will never be an independent consultant for the Scentsy people, I decided to weigh in on the fragrances since, between my mom and I, we seem to be trying to smell them all.  If you are interested in trying any of this stuff (and I highly recommend it... my house smells AMAZING!) you can check out my brother-in-law Fred's page here.

I found a similar scale on someone else's page so I stole it and modified it for me:
:D Love it!
:) Like it!
:/ It's ok.
:( Not a fan.

**** super strong like blow you away strong
*** definitely can smell it but it's not overwhelming
** subtle but there
* did I forget to turn the warmer on?

You should try them for yourself and not just base your choices on my opinions.  The lady who's scale I borrowed had VERY different opinions from me.  

Baked Apple Pie  :D *** This one does smell like you walked into mom's house when she's got an apple pie in the oven.  If I didn't know better, I would try to eat the wax.  It smelled that good.  

Blueberry Cheesecake :( ** This one was too sweet for my taste.  It smelled good but didn't remind me of cheesecake or blueberries.  

Cinnamon Bear :) *** Cinnamon Bear is... well... cinnamon.  If you don't like cinnamon, you'll hate it.  We like cinnamon so we like it.  It's like walking into a mouth full of red hots.  We like red hots... therefore, we like cinnamon bears.  

Clean Breeze :D *** I love when my house smells clean.  Clean Breeze is a pack of clean smelling house and fresh smelling laundry and I love it.  

Cucumber Lime :) **  Cucumber lime is a very clean, subtle scent.  It's not overwhelming and pretty much exactly what you would expect from the name.  The cucumber gives it a very "cool" smell if that makes any sense at all.  

Hazelnut Latte :) *** This one smells like you have something great in the oven.  It's sweet and nutty and buttery and good.  This is another one that I might accidentally try eating the wax after 10 too many beers.

Just Breathe :/ **** This one is lemony.  Like put the slices right up your nose and inhale. It's strong.  Very strong.  So strong it nearly burns your nasal passages.  It smells great but use it in a wide open space.  You have been warned.

Kahiko Hula :) *** Kahiko Hula is my son's favorite.  Imagine yourself on a pool deck sipping on a pina colada with a side of pineapple juice.  It's sweet but not overwhelming.  We put this on when we are feeling tropical.

Home Sweet Home :) ** Home Sweet Home is definitely something sweet to come home to.  It's pleasant but not overwhelming and it's fruity but not overly sweet.  I think it smells like applesauce.
  
Honey & Oats :D ***  This one is sweet and tasty smelling.  It's another one of those scents where I walk into mom's house and look in the oven.  

Perfectly Pomegranate :D ** We are big fans of the ole Perfectly Pomegranate.  This is Nick's favorite so far.  It is very much like a pomegranate in that it's sweet but not too sweet and subtle.  It's not overwhelming and great when you don't feel like a powerful fragrance. It smells a like a pixie stick to me.  I like the smell of pixie sticks.

I placed a new order today so I'll update with 6 new ones soon.
