    Voting is only 2 days with the 24 hour clock they use. I think the results are not totally based on voting, too many scents have come back that weren't top 25 during voting. I really wish they would have a nostalgia collection every catalog that includes scents that haven't been back for years instead of so many new collections that IMO underperform. There are a lot of new customers that will never get to experience the older scents. Thanks for expressing your honest opinions!

    I agree with you. I don't believe so many bars with patchouli in it were voted back this round. Maybe one, but then they decided to make a bunch with patchouli in it since they have the oil.

    I definitely feel like the voting is influenced. Example, I noticed how Berries Jubilee wasn't in the top 25 until Lisa Rowberry made her voting video. I'm pretty sure BananaBerry was also in the voting but then I think it got fixed. I also saw that Caramel Sugar Cone was also in the voting. There were no scents in this BBMB voting that I was attached to, so I decided to just watch.

    They're actually 200 bars 😱 The voting time is a bit short. I wish they would do voting the month after the current BBMBs go back into the vault. It's too much to do both.
    Since they do 2 rounds a year, I would prefer if they would be seasonally appropriate for when the release. I had a very hard time accepting Hemingway and rustic Lodge last June 😂
    My last annoyance hahahahaha is I think it would be better if there was no voting loophole. I feel that if there was no way to vote more than once, people would take their time and vote for their true love instead of voting for other people's loves or just going willy nilly and voting like a loon
    I do appreciate the idea of BBMB though because there are some greats that I have never tried!

    Gingerbread Hugs was last available in the SOTS in 2020 🙂 I haven’t been voting for it although I do remember liking it. Overall I’m happy to see the Top 25 being pretty diverse and scents we haven’t seen for a bit! Will be interesting to see what makes the cut.

    I also noticed that at least one sent, caramel sugar cone, which is currently available in the bring back my bar for January 2024, was listed as an option. They did fix it, it did disappear after about an hour, or so, and I was feeling sort of gaslight, until I saw someone else’s video where they mentioned seeing it in the Voting choices. so, two cents that I am desperately trying to get back we’re still not listed, African mahogany, and spiced carrot cake, they are both very good sense, but they also have very strong emotional attachments for me, because I am blind, and cannot see photographs, and because I was too busy when my kids were little, to take a lot of audio recordings, the best thing I have to remind me of that time are sense, and those are very important to me. But they weren’t listed, but I cast literally 500 sets of five, 2500 votes for grapefruit pomegranate, and it never popped into the top 25, so I cried, then I gave up, I guess people just don’t like it enough or know about it. So I switch to red pomegranate, which I’ve only ever had encounter clean, but it smells amazing, again, 2500 votes, and it would not pop into the top 25. My hands were literally stiff from all of the tapping and swiping to cast all those votes. and this was in the first 24 hours, so I don’t know how many millions of votes are being cast, but it seems strange to me, the casting that many votes had no impact on popping either one into the top 25. The grapefruit pomegranate is very important to me, because it reminds me of another time in my life for which I don’t have audio recordings, although the red hair and pomegranate was just a for fun because it smelled good to me.

    Some of your musings, and those of a few other RUclipsrs, do sound, admittedly, kind of paranoid, but so do the things that I’m saying, so I’m not judging, because at least some of us are probably right about some of these things. Other things I noticed. The Capshaw, where it asked you to identify things visually, does have an audio challenge, and I noticed too interesting things, one is that often the audio capture option for getting an audio challenge would be dimmed, meaning, I could not vote on that consultants website, because I cannot see the pictures, and accessible option was broken. Something else I noticed was towards the end, I was just voting for three cents that were in the top 25, to help keep them there, maleficent, Lime, and sugarcane and lemon verbena, and I noticed that every time I had five votes in for lime and sugarcane, I would get a capture, but not on the other two, I was doing one sent, switching websites, then doing another, and then switching again, and doing another, so I thought, maybe it was just doing it on every third site, so I tried doing them in a random order, and it continued, only for that sent that capture. I think there are three factors that play, one is that random people Voting, who are new to Sensi, who just buy mostly in person, who don’t watch RUclips videos, vote, for the few cents they are familiar with, or things that look good from the description, even if they don’t know what they actually smell like. Then you have people who are RUclipsrs, who have a strong platform, and people follow them, for instance, we got peony petals back because of Lisa Rowberry, and we got Lona Sarah, because a couple of people shared that it was important to a consultant who had a loss in their family. But not everyone has that kind of platform to explain why they desperately would like help to get a scent voted back. And then, like you said, I think Sensi wants to put out certain fragrances, to use up inventory, or use up oils, or make things easier with which set of bars they produce as part of a bring back my bar. I did one last thing, I went through and took screenshots with a little bit of help. About 15 minutes before the voting ended, and I made note of the time and date, and all the sense that were in the top 25. They can’t have it both ways. If their system is accurate, and tracking that top 25, then that should be the list of sense that come back, maybe with one or two different if the Voting in the last 10 minutes makes some difference, but if the list looks nothing like that, then we have to conclude that either it’s rigged, and unfair, or that their web developers are incompetent, and the system is not tracking things accurately.

      So, you think Lisa Rowberry was responsible for getting peony petals back?

    • @vibrant_vision
      @vibrant_vision 6 месяцев назад +4

      sure, she told everyone how awesome it was, that it was one of the first floral sense that she actually liked, and how pretty it was, just like, for instance, I think it was Patricia Gates, mentioned how nice cranberry mango was, and a lot of people voted for that one. i’m not saying it’s a bad thing, recommendations can be helpful, but if someone doesn’t have a large platform or influence, and they don’t have a lot of friends or family, who are Sensi customers, they’re not really going to be able to get someone to help them vote something back. I doubt I’ll have the time, but perhaps I could get a hashtag going for Vote your heart, where we could encourage RUclipsrs, even small ones, to post videos, sharing why particular scent is important to them, what memories it’s associated with, and perhaps those might get shared and viewed and convince people to help out some of those with smaller platforms. it could work. I just don’t know that I have the bandwidth. So I make zero promises.

    So, I was going to make a video about this, but who am I kidding, I haven’t been able to upload any of the content I have prepped, for several months now, and I think it’s important to discuss this topic, so I’d rather just post my comments here, and a few other places, instead of waiting until I may, possibly, probably not, get a video posted on the subject. So, here, a few things I noticed. First of all, the voting was broken and didn’t even show up on the site until about 115 or 1:20 PM Eastern standard time. I was ready to go at 12:55, and kept refreshing pages and looking, and it simply was not there, the bring back my bars to purchase were there, but there was nothing for Voting, and yes, I did check this With a cited individual who could not find it either. When we use Google and put in the name of a consultant plus bring back my bar Voting it did pop up, but it was not listed on the actual site for about 20 minutes.

    • @vibrant_vision
      @vibrant_vision 6 месяцев назад +3

      The other thing that really annoyed me, is at least two different consultants, who are RUclipsrs, one of whom I complain to directly when it wasn’t showing up right at 1 o’clock, posted videos later in the day, and these are people I like, by the way, and they said they wanted to show people where to find it on the site, since there seem to be some confusion about Where you go to vote. It may be mad, because I’m not an idiot, and the person I got to double check me is also not an idiot, we weren’t stupid, and unable to find it, it was not there. We were not confusing the current bring back my bar with the voting, the voting just wasn’t showing up. One reason that I like Metallica mom‘s channel is because she’s a sensei consultant, but she’s not so loyal to Sensi that she’ll try to cover up if they messed something up. She’s not afraid to be a little critical, respectfully critical, but still critical sometimes. Which is good.

    @madaboutmelts 5 месяцев назад +3

    I really don't think it is a sham. I believe it is a matter of those that have a "bigger" voice getting the word out on what they'd love to see come back. For example Very Peary Pumpkin came back a few rounds ago, because Lisa really wanted it and because she has a huge following here people voted for it.
    Another example, this month's BBMB Lonicera is back. And that is because there was a huge push from consultants that have a big platform, to vote it back for a Scentsy sister who lost her son and the scent reminded her of him. So people banded together and got it back. And I don't begrudge any of those people that have been able to get back those bars they love. I'm glad and I'm always down to try scents I've never tried before.
    I am just SO happy they changed the rules so fragrances that have been back in the past 5 years can't be voted back again. I was getting so tired of seeing the same things come back constantly. It has been so fun this round trying so many new-to-me scents.
    I am hoping I did enough voting this time to get Surfer Chick back. I've been voting for it for the past 4-5 years. But again I don't have the "voice" that some of the bigger channels have, so, so far I haven't had success. But I am not giving up. Eventually I can get it back(thinking positive here)! :D
    Thank you for your thoughts on all the wax bars. :)

      @@AndreaMetallicaMom can you remember what they were? I know like Bananaberry was accidentally in it, but it was taken out once Scentsy realized that it had been in a bbmb more recently. Whereas there were bars that were newer, but the 5 year rule is only for those that have been voted back in BBMB. Otherwise if a bar hadn’t been back, it just needed to be retired before June 2022. Which was why we saw scents like Coconut Daiquiri and Gingerbread Hugs. So I am curious to know what other ones they may have missed. I didn’t pay attention to bring back my bar in 2019, so maybe there were some from then that snuck through. Otherwise from the bars available in 2020 on (once they removed those couple that accidentally were put up for voting), there weren’t any that I noticed that shouldn’t have been there.
