      Oh Virginia, I was very happy with the scents. Of course I thought the selections could have been tweaked, but the scents smell wonderful.

      Awwweee, Thank You!! 😊
      I am really excited to start warming them. Finally got my car this evening, couple of errands to run tomorrow, but I hope to at least try one tomorrow.

    I lived in the South and spent lots of time in New Orleans and i agree - Beignets and coffee!! Loved hearing your perspective!!

    I loved hearing your thoughts. Not sure I could go because of the crowds. ❤

      It was fun when I was a kid - back then crowds didn’t bother me as much.

    I’m warming this entire collection throughout my house and 🥰💜💛💚 bon temps for sure haha for me anyway 😊
    maybe I’m in a mood trying to get out of the blues of missing my mom so terribly I really love what these smells are doing to my brain. I hope you had a blessed Christmas and I pray 2024 brings an abundance of blessings for us all. Love you Edda! Warm the entire collection throughout and dance around your house with me ♥️

    I 100% agree on the French quarter coffee and beignets

    So good to see your videos again! I loved the wish bar also. It lasted for 2 days in my house and than I warmed it again. 🤣 this made my fruity heart so happy!

    • @eddaharrison2030
      @eddaharrison2030  Год назад

      Oh, thank you, thank you for letting me know about the performance of the Wish bar!!! I already wanted more but that seals it - I’m getting several.

    I'm so excited for the Mardi Gras collection. I should be getting my bars today. Beignets and coffee omgosh yes that would have been lovely. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Can't wait to sniff King Cake

    I was disappointed with the Wonka wax so I did not get the Mardi Gras preorder. I thought I would watch some warm reviews and go from there. 😅 can’t wait to watch your warm reviews! Thank you!

    • @eddaharrison2030
      @eddaharrison2030  Год назад

      Just based on cold sniffs and my scent preferences, the Mardi Gras collection was way better. Hoping to start trying at least one this weekend.

    I loved hearing your thoughts on these Edda! I agree, coffee with beignets would have been so perfect! King Cake is everything... oh my gosh I love it and can't wait to get more! ❤

  • @laura10777
    @laura10777 Год назад +2

    Your review is spot on! King Cake needs a good amount of cinnamon and we need to smell beignets in Midnight Masquerade. Seems like a little more research into Mardi Gras would’ve helped. 😊 Btw - yes to Manny Randazzo’s!

    • @eddaharrison2030
      @eddaharrison2030  Год назад

      A BIG Yes for Randazzo’s!!!! We used to go to the Randazzo’s bakery in Chalmette when I was growing up. Boy, oh boy, do I miss their King Cakes. I think the last one we got was about 3-4 years ago.

    My kids went to some small Mardi Gras parades in Lafayette but never new orleans. I tried to make a king cake a couple times and didn't come out too bad!💜💛💚⚜️🎊

    • @eddaharrison2030
      @eddaharrison2030  Год назад

      Oh, I bet your King Cake comes out Delicious. I see all those videos you make of the different dishes and desserts you make and they always look soooo good!!

    Great reviews Edda!
    WOW, the Wonka collection packaging is outstanding!
    New Orleans Mardi Gras -oh the memories - the smells, the foods, the sounds, the sights😂, and of course, the friends and family waiting for a parade to pass by- I think it would be extremely hard for anyone to capture a New Orleans Mardi Gras in a small scent collection-- Mardi Gras isn’t an event, it’s a season 🥰 they have to capture the season just like they capture the fall, spring, summer, winter, and Christmas season 🥰
    Laissez les bon temps rouler-let the good times roll 🎉🥳

    • @eddaharrison2030
      @eddaharrison2030  Год назад +1

      You are SO right - totally a season. A whole feeling all together with so much to capture.

    Not a native NO here, but I did live there for a while! I was thinking the exact same thing as you in that they needed to combine the beignets with a cafe au lait! They also should have put the new praline cake scent in this group. I enjoyed your reviews!

    I think the Idea of Midnight Lily is this: Fleur de lys is French for lily flower

    So good to see you Edda and your ideas are so right! I haven’t gotten this yet but it seems they did a good job with it. On the end of month live with Dan Orchard he pronounced beignets “Ben-ets”, it was so funny. Being from Louisiana we just take all the NOLA stuff for granted. It really is such a neat city with so much culture and history. I could tell by your accent you from there when I first started watching your channel. I’m a north Louisiana girl. Randazzo king cakes are so good. And a side note, Hubig pies are back out! My cousin brought me one at thanksgiving. Anyway really loved hearing your thoughts and can’t wait to sniff these!

    Edda I knew you were going to pick up this collection, looking forward to your thoughts. 😊
    Wish? I had no idea about this bar 😮
    I think I am going to pick up the Wonka collection, but I wish they had included a chocolate bar.
    This video was very educational, I enjoyed learning a bit more about Mardi Gras! Next time Scentsy does a collection like this they need to consult with you first 😏 you had some great scent suggestions.

    • @eddaharrison2030
      @eddaharrison2030  Год назад +1

      I almost missed that Wish bar - sooo glad I got it. I’m definitely picking up more of that one!!
      I would have been stoked to help collaborate (give my thoughts) on scents that would fit the Mardi Gras theme. Shoot, for that collection or others, it would be so awesome if they brought in consultants with a connection to a collection. I’m sure there are lots of us out there who grew up with Mardi Gras that would have loved to share their thoughts.
      Off topic - loved your video on your friend mail from Summer Michelle. What an awesome box of goodies. I think I was extra shocked at all those SGA brittles.

    • @thefragrancefairy

      @@eddaharrison2030 Edda I think that’s a great idea, I am going to put that in the suggestion box with Scentsy. Probably won’t happen, but you don’t know until you try right. 😀
      Right, I was so shocked how much Summer sent me. I saw the box and was like holy cow when I picked it up. Everyone in this wax community is so nice. I just love getting to know everyone and talking wax. Hope things are going well with you and you are surviving this year end madness. I love this time of year, but sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming. Thanks for the chat. 😀

    To me Mardi Gras is so much more than parades, parties, king cakes etc-it is all of those things and the reasons for all of the things. Like hey we survived another hurricane season and hey yes we are all sinners and yet here we all are with enough life in these bones to sing and dance and praise God today and in days to come if God permits no matter where you’re from what color you are how much money you have what your house looks like…we are all His children and we should celebrate and love each other…
    💚 Faith
    💛 Power
    💜 Justice
    I do what I can to remember what it represents.
    Yes, I’m a weirdo lol but I’m okay with it.
    All these smells from this collection meshing together really does make it Mardi Gras up in here hehe

    Hi Edda! I’m thinking of getting the WONKA collection. I’m not sure about the Mardi Gras collection. Some of them sound good. The packaging is pretty. I really know nothing about Mardi Gras other than there’s masks and beads🤷🏼‍♀️. King Cake sounds delicious! I’d love to eat some!!! I’ve never heard of it before. Thank you for the video! Loved it as always ❤️

    Awe I love this!!! This whole collection 100% reminded me of you and Larry!! ❤😊 ok so I didn’t know hurricane drinks were from New Orleans! So cool! And when you say you can get a king cake filled, what does that mean? Filled with chocolate or cream or lemon? I’m so intrigued! I’ve always wanted to try one! Are you a Saints fan too?
