I have a few thoughts this go around for sure. I think launching Harvest with catalog was not a win, taking orders too long to go out because there was so much launching. We aren't even into fall and we have holiday collection, breast cancer AND brick early access with the Open Plains collection thrown to us. I agree it can be overwhelming to share all the news and gets to be a lot. I love trying new scents but I feel like I can't even enjoy my harvest stuff now because I need to try Holiday. ugh.....
I agree. I wish they would do Fall releases in Aug so everyone could have a chance to warm and enjoy all things fall without trying to figure out the holiday collections so fast.
Totally agree about LTOs, it really bothers me that they seem to be going for the quantity vs quality business model these days. At $6/bar they ought to be putting more oils in each bar so the value is somewhat justified instead of cranking out subpar bar after subpar bar banking on FOMO rather than reputation. 😤 Cherries jubilee and pumpkin cashmere please 💗
(Jane) I agree with you about the LTO's. I'm not a consultant but I also like to keep up with the new scents. I'm also having a hard time keeping the new scents straight because of the names- Fall Feelin', Forever Fall, Fall Into Love. I have to keep notes so I remember which one I like. I vote for Cranberry Candy Cane and Sleigh Ride. Thanks!
Patricia it’s been FOREVER since I’ve commented but I LOVE your descriptions as much today as I did 4 years ago when I found your channel! I’m a Consultant but I don’t “sell it to the public”, whenever someone asks me my thoughts about a scent I ALWAYS share my limited knowledge and send them a link to your channel/video if you’ve reviewed it for a more thorough, honest and accurate review! You give life to EVERY scent for me, I am a huge bakery fan but have learned to spread my wings more and more into categories I know I wouldn’t have warmed had I not heard your reviews; I’m kinda shocked how diverse my “scent palette” is now! Even though I buy usually at least a bar of the “new releases” for my friends/family to sniff, but I rarely warm them if they’re “outside my comfort zone”😂🙈…. I don’t know if it’s just “preconceived” bias, but I usually don’t warm a lot of scents until something in your description intrigues me, honestly how better to describe Vanilla Barnwood then CutiePie Cupcake sitting on a log because that’s exactly how it smells on cold!! Thank you for sharing your very honest and detailed description with us! As a Consultant who doesn’t sell Scentsy as a “job/revenue source”, I’ve been EXTREMELY OVERWHELMED by the number of new releases, especially during the Fall/Holiday season….. I buy most of early access bundles so I can have them on hand for my family / friends to smell before a large number of scents are released, but I have to admit I simply can’t afford to buy all of them the past year or two. Do you think Scentsy is perhaps trying to curtail the catalog, at least by the # of scents in each category? I’m not sure if they are or not but I have to admit I’m often disappointed by a lot of the “special collections”, they tend to have weaker overall quality, especially strength and longevity…. My votes: Cranberry Candy Cane Pumpkin Cashmere
I agree about the lto's. It's nice to have new scents and collections to look forward to but it feels like overkill these last couple of years. My votes this week are for Cranberry Candy Cane and Cherries Jubilee please. Thanks Patricia! 😊
Patricia, you really crack me up. 😂 Cutie pie cupcake sitting on a piece of wood! Keep up the amazing work you do to share with all of us! I appreciate you! ❤
I completely agree with overkill on LTO's Makes me just shrug my shoulders and skip a lot of them. Scentsy needs to slow their roll and simplify. It isn't even exciting to get "new" scents anymore. My votes for next week: pumpkin cashmere and cranberry candy cane. Thank you for always great reviews and opinions Patricia! ❤
I agree about the LTOs! I remember when the crystal collection and then the Disney princess collection came out. I was so excited and couldn’t wait for them to arrive. It’s gotten very over saturated and it’s hard to keep track of everything.
Thanks for another great review!😊 I agree with you on the LTO’s-I signed on to become a Scentsy consultant the end of March, and I am finding myself feeling overwhelmed with everything that is being offered. I don’t know if the Harvest items and the new catalog have always launched at the same time, but I feel that doing it this way was too much at one time…it really doesn’t give you an opportunity to appreciate either of them, in my opinion. I guess I just feel rushed to get through wax in order to check out the next new offerings, instead of enjoying what’s in front of me. I want to keep up with what’s coming out, but I can’t afford to try it all. I also feel that if it’s overwhelming and confusing to keep up for me, it is definitely overwhelming for my customers. And in my experience, people just want Scentsy to put some of the tried and true scents (Apple Butter Frosting, Almond Croissant, and Sweet Plum Pastry to name a few!) back in the catalog and LEAVE them there lol! 😂 They would rather have old favorites, instead of a new bar that doesn’t throw or last very long. Just my thoughts 😊 Anyway, my votes this week are for Cherries Jubilee and Cranberry Candy Cane. Thanks Patricia, and have a great week! 😊
About the LTOs. I like the idea of having new wax collections offered but it is tough to try to keep up (I am a person who needs to smell all the new things;)) I wish Scentsy would re-release past collections/bars more often so we can have a chance to re warm those or skip them because we already tried them.. BBMB is such a great concept but I feel like I am rushed and I can’t really give them a chance to know if they perform for me or not. I can’t imagine having the added pressure of trying to review them as well. My hats off to you for putting all the work in that you do. Much appreciated.
If we had BBMB (x2), Valentine’s Day, Easter(or just one Spring/Summer collection), the Harvest and Christmas I think that is plenty of regular collections to try to melt through. Then you still have SOTM plus any Licensed bars.. I would love it if Scentsy would offer a long list of past released bars that we could pre-order from, ones the we know we love but might never get voted back.
It reminds me of kids birthday parties…each year patents feel like they have to up the ante and make each party bigger and better. It’s like Scentsy is taking that approach with their offerings and LTOs, when I think many of us would be just as content to live a slightly less manic style scent collections release.
As a consultant I am overwhelmed with all the LTOs. I haven’t even had a chance to warm the holiday collection because I am still warming the harvest collection and 10 new releases. With the breast cancer, villains collection holiday harvest, and now this surprise western collection. I’m just like okay Scentsy, I’ll check back in next month and if I miss out I miss out 😢😂
pumpkin cashmere cranberry candy cane Yes, too many lto’s. Of course, I’ve always thought including a warmer with every sotm was unnecessary. Focusing on catalog products, four lto collections and a set of bricks would keep me happy. It’s got to be overwhelming for you having to warm through so much right now!
Don’t rush. Enjoy warming your fall wax. I look forward to you reviewing new catalog bars & the harvest collection early because we are all so ready for the new season. I’m grateful you’re tackling the holiday bars but I don’t want you to get burnt out. 🙂
Great review. I have to agree with you about the amount of lto's coming at us. I'm not going to try many of them because there are so many. I decided to add two or three to my next club order and I'll be happy with that. 🙂
I hear your rant!! Scentsy has overwhelmed me so much the past year or so with all the new LTO's right on top of each other, that I have somewhat just given up. I can't keep up with the buying and the warming. I REALLY want to warm some of my favorites from the catalog, but like you said, many of us work full-time and aren't home enough to do this. It has almost taken the excitement out of the LTO's. Thanks for the videos, Patricia! My votes are for Cranberry Candy Cane and Pumpkin Cashmere.
Thanks Patricia! Voting for Cherries Jubilee and Pumpkin Cashmere this round. I agree about LTO's - I think a seasonal LTO is a good thing....maybe a few a year...Christmas, Fall, Valentines Day etc. It feels like there is something new every couple of weeks..often the LTO's don't seem as strong or long lasting as older scents....and as a customer sometimes it feels overwhelming....I barely get one delivered and another LTO is there and with shipping costs it can all be a little much. I can see how it's a lot for consultants too.
Cranberry Candy Cane and Pumpkin Cashmere. I agree with too many LTO's, especially at this time of year. I do feel overwhelmed and I don't even do all that you do or others. I also, as a seasonal melter, don't want to be promoting or melting anything hibiscus, tropical or nectar in the month of October or anywhere in the Fall/Winter season! I appreciate the Breast Cancer Awareness collection for what it represents but I think some different choices could have been made to make it more season appropriate. Pink Leather would have been nice in that collection instead of a SOTM in August with a warmer it didn't really go with. The Open Plains collection came out of nowhere for me! That definitely could have been put somewhere else! How about after the Christmas/Holiday delivery cut off?! I love melting wax but Scentsy as a company can be very frustrating to me at times. Shannon 😊
Sleigh ride and Pumpkin Cashmere. I agree with you that it seems that we are having multiple LTOs every month. It's overwhelming and sometimes it causes so much competition we lose out on our favorite scents.
Excellent rant! 🙂 Adding this comment after announcing my hiatus from RUclips. Exactly one of my reasons for taking a break - so many, too many new scents to keep up with. When you are a RUclips reviewer man it gets tough to stay on top of things. I also think Scentsy is giving up quality for quantity maybe because of the plethora of wax vendor competition especially in the states. I worry about how it impacts sales figures of the tried & true catalogue bars - with everyone distracted by new things & there are only so many $$$ to go around. My vote: Pumpkin Cashmere & Cherries Jubilee.
I’m still sad about your RUclips departure but of course I want all my fellow Canadian girls to be happy. I appreciate you and the hard work you’ve put into your channel
Earlier this year- I thought they slowed down on the LTOs but I think they saved them all for fall 😂. My votes are for cherries jubilee and cranberry candy cane
AS a customer I love LTOs and reviews, I think they are like those surprise guests that show up at unannounced at party that everyone loves 😂😂😂 HOWEVER, as a consultant, I feel your struggle It was one of mine. I couldn't review all of them because either I didn't have time or I couldn't afford it at the time of its pre purchase. I understand completely. Now there really are MORE and MORE LTOs, even since I stopped being a consultant in 2020. My picks are Monsters Inc and Cranberry Candy Cane.
Ms Patricia I like any and all your videos. I appreciate your time and effort. My gripe with Scentsy is nothing seems strong anymore just lots of underwhelming scents 😢 I will try a few of these new ones
Cranberry Candy Cane and Sleigh Ride I agree with the increased number of LTO’s. I feel Scentsy has been shifting to stay on trend with the vendors. Have you seen their lists of wax offered - omg it’s insanely overwhelming. The difference is that vendors release their seasonal collections all at one time versus the slow trickle approach of Scentsy. I believe this method also increases sales as people will order more than just a few LTO’s to justify the cost of shipping. My complaint has always been the cure time when it comes to LTO’s. They ship too fresh and by the time they’re ripe, the season has passed. Most warm immediately, and are unfortunately left with weak impressions of scent/throw/performance on bars that develop into strong performers with a little time. I don’t believe these practices will change until/unless the owners return and bring back a little balance. There is a huge difference between staying on trend versus staying current/relevant, and I feel the owner’s style reflected the latter.
I enjoy watching your reviews all the time!! I really wish they would bring back the ones everyone seems to want the most rather than bring new bars that are less in strength and not as good, but having said that, I also do like a new bar that’s a great performer, I vote for sleigh ride and cranberry candy cane
I agree with the LTO’s it’s too much! This fall catalog release has been such a disaster and I hope they learned their lesson! It’s hard for us consultants to do our job and inform customers of what’s coming when they are still waiting on their orders that was placed on Sept. 1! And now you want me to offer holiday to them that’s launching this Sunday and they haven’t even received their fall and harvest stuff yet! Come on Scentsy you have to do better! End of rant 😂. My votes are for pumpkin cashmere and cranberry candy cane. Thanks Patricia!
I’m glad my nose isn’t going crazy ! I immediately smelled fruit loops when I smelled vanilla barn wood . My votes are cherries jubilee and cranberry candy cane. I actually enjoy the amount of LTO’s recently. I get burned out on the same things all the time so the newness keeps me excited.
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes just the ones that sound in my wheelhouse. If there are a couple out of the collection I think I’ll like but not the others I’ll just add them to an in and out club and remove them if I don’t end up loving it.
I find that Vanilla Barnwood is a dupe for Vanilla Birch at Bath and Body Works. I am so happy it's coming back this fall. I didn't club it last year, but I will be sure to club it this year.
Ursula and sleigh ride. I would like Scentsy to pump the breaks on the LTOs and Disney. Way too much Disney lately. Also, the timing of the releases needs to be revamped. There was no reason why the harvest and harvest favorites couldn't be released on the same day. Some people rushed to grab stuff from the harvest for fear of sell out and then did the same a week later with the favorites.
Poor Unfortunate Souls and Cranberry Candycane please. Agree about the LTOs. They are exciting but there's been so many its hard to keep track and takes away from opportunities to try current catalog scents. It almost feels like those get put in my club at end of season and enjoyed off-season because during that season I was too busy with the LTOs!
Good morning Patricia! My votes are for Sleigh Ride and Cherries Jubilee. I agree with you on Vanilla Barnwood. The Rose Tea Warmer is a great little workhouse! Fall seems to have a lot of LTOs. Wish they would just release them in one shot so you didn’t have to play the Queue game every week and shipping. Thank you Patrica! Sincerely 🥰
I like LTOs, but I would rather they drop the collections at the same time instead of a week apart each time, shipping costs make me wait and put it in club. I do feel like the scentsy consultants should still just buy what y'all are interested in and review them for us. It seems like such a waste of your time and money to buy the ones you don't enjoy. I would watch whatever you had to review🤗
I love LTOs but its very overwhelming right now because you want to try them all in case one is club worthy. I guess its a Fear of Missing Out, but the pocket book gets overwhelming too. Lol I think they could slow down just a wee bit so we can enjoy the scents currently availabe. I think some of these collections get lost in the shuffle. I'll be placing more orders this season than I ever have in the past, but I guess its a marketing strategy and good for scentsy business. Great video. My votes this week are for Cranberry candycane and Cherries Jubilee.
I wish they would stop with LTOs and just bring back what we love- like SPP, or even Marachino Sugar Cookie. This is why a lot of us are giving up transitiining to vendor wax. I vote for Cherries Jubilee and Pumpkin Cashmere.
My votes are for Ursula: Poor Unfortunate Souls and Cranberry Candy Cane please. Yes all of the LTOs are overwhelming. Thanks for the reviews and have a great week! 😊
Ursula and pumpkin cashmere please … and yes I agree about the number of ltos and the holiday bricks are also now available for consultants. .I nearly triggered the bundle but I’m going to wait for the reviews it’s too expensive to get the bars I don’t think Im going to love. Thank you so much for your reviews ..they are a blessing. 😊
Sleigh ride and pumpkin cashmere - and I agree there are too many lto scents! I’m fine with a harvest collection, a holiday collection, and a small valentine or Mother’s Day collection but there are constantly new collections and all with 4 or 5 scents. It’s too much. I’d rather have them bring back tried and true scents /fan faves for some of these occasions rather than gamble on new ones that aren’t always that great. A 3 scent harvest collection would’ve been fine with me as I only liked 3 of them anyway!
Thank you Patricia excellent reviews like always!!! I agree less is more so we can really enjoy them without a rush. I become a consultant last week and I’m trying to figure out my way !! My votes are for Poor unfortunate souls & pumpkin cashmere. Have a productive and fun filled week!!
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes 💕💕💕💩thank you!!!!!! And HOW TRUE your observation is!!!! Yeap. I joined to be able to have early access to collections but…. You are absolutely right about making a budget and sticking to it. For now I’m my only customer 😂🤣
I vote for Cranberry Candy Cane and Pumpkin Cashmere. Thanks for reviewing! I agree, the amount of LTOs is super overwhelming! I’m trying to really restrict myself on how many LTOs I pick up going forward because I’m desperate to deplete my stash a bit!
Pumpkin Cashmere and Cranberry Candy Cane are my votes. I feel quality of a wax bar should be over quantity(LTO). I suppose some people like lighter scents but I prefer stronger scent throws. Thanks for another great review.
Cranberry candycane and pumpkin cashmere. I agree that there are too many LTOs. Seems like it is set up to encourage either club or someone to buy every other week.
Hi Patricia, I agree about the number of scents and the impossibility of keeping up with them all. A few good standard scents would be fantastic. Sometimes it feels like there are so many it is off-putting. I would like to vote for Pumpkin Cashmere as I tend to like the cashmere scents, and Cherries Jubilee please.
Agree with your comments on the LTO's, I have not even had a chance to warm the catalog scents. Wish they would just bring back some of the classics, my vote is for Pumpkin Cashmere and Poor Unfortunate Souls. Thank you for the videos
If you remember the scent COZY CASHMERE we had a few years ago I think on day 2 vanilla Barnwood smells very similar to cozy cashmere and I love it!! I think Rum Pum Plum smells very similar to Pretty & Plum. There are so many different things coming out lately that it’s hard to keep up that’s for sure.
Agreed, too many LTOs. I know the fall is worse because we get this cluster of LTOs all at the same time, but even earlier this year I was struggling to keep up. I have not purchased any non-catalogue or non-club scents since the Mango collection in Feb. I'm maxed out! There's WAY too many. In my opinion, we don't need a holiday collection (of 5 bars this year too!) AND Scents of the Season AND holiday bricks - just one of those is enough to supplement the new catalogue and SOTMs. Even the fun licensed collections get overshadowed because there's just too much going on and they're just too expensive. It's overkill at this point, I'm not too happy, lol. I'm also worried about how Scentsy is planning to sustain this level of output... If we're starting to feel burnt out, what about their scent designers?! I'm not sure it's wise.
Ursula and Monsters Inc.I can see it being overwhelming for you but I admit I love watching all the videos! You probably never have time to melt your stash.
Pumpkin Cashmere & Cherries Jubilee. YES too many LTO's!!! I at least wish the collections were offered for the entire catalog season. Too much adding to club, switching frequencies worried im gonna miss out on a great scent. I shouldnt have FOMO over wax!!! 😂
Cherries Jubilee and Pumpkin Cashmere please. Seems like from September until January there is so much coming out. Doesn't seem quite as bad the rest of the year. I am having to learn that I don't need to try everything. I get overwhelmed by how much wax I have at the moment.
Thanks Patricia! I do like vanilla barnwood. My votes are cherries jubilee and cranberry candy cane. I do agree with you on the abundance of LTO’s. I know how time consuming a family and a job are lol so I can’t imagine also trying to keep up with RUclips Scentsy content. I don’t order everything as I sell mostly to myself - if its something not in my wheelhouse I just don’t order. So I’m in a different situation than a lot of consultants.
All these LTOs are why I missed out on Pacific Sandalwood. Sigh. I just couldn’t get a collection I was very unsure about! Generally I’ll try more of the LTOs in fall/winter, because they are more up my alley. Sometimes I really regret it, other years like this year, I’m very happy. But if I don’t think I’ll like scents, I do my best not to buy them, even if it means missing out. Fortunately we can add almost anything to club, and then this year they’ve made the bars available for individual purchase, so far. Helpful. I’m glad we have more opportunities for early access, but sometimes I have to say no to that, too, depending! Sample cups or testers would be the ideal way to go….or just less of these LTOs ha. (I was even wishing earlier today that the harvest bars were catalog bars instead of many of the new releases….)
Yes! Way too many LTO’s to handle. Does Scentsy believe it must release something new every week? My sense is that there are many more licensed LTO’s now in the mix and perhaps that’s what’s sending me over the edge. I’ve all but given up on buying the licensed bars as I find their performance quite often underwhelming. Thanks for allowing us to vent. My votes for next week are Cherries Jubilee and Pumpkin Cashmere please. 🙂
My votes are cherries jubilee and cranberry candy cane. I agree, they seem to be releasing a lot of LTOs. I wouldn't mind so much if they were better performers or stronger. But it seems that the holiday and breast cancer collection are pretty much on the light side. Harvest was maybe better with some strong bars.
I feel like the release of LTO’s goes way into overdrive September - November. It is overwhelming. I find myself questioning a lot of Scentsy’s decisions lately. I smell Froot Loops in VB. Like a cross between vanilla waves/cutie pie cupcake/clementine cupcake. 🤷🏼♀️ Not what I was expecting. Also, I was hoping for a little more sweet, deep plum in RPP. But I do like it. My votes go to poor unfortunate souls and monsters inc.
So very well said and thank you for the reviews. The LTO's are starting to get to be a bit too much. Hard to get excited when there is always a new collection, or launch. I haven't been able to try Monstropolis and Poor unfortunate souls, so those will be my votes before they return to the vault lol I'll probably have to toss all the licensed bars into my club just so I can try them! Now bricks are coming and it's just hard to keep up because I can't always get the early access.
I do appreciate your vivid descriptions. Like cutie pie cupcake on a piece of wood. 😊pacific sandalwood is a scent I am hoping Scentsy will have as an option for voting for BBMB so will enjoy trying her 2nd cousin How would you compare Rum Plum Plum to Sanderson sisters (more spice heavy? Not quite ready for holiday And I think Monsters Inc might not be available come Oct 1 (but still want to vote for it) And Pumpkin cashmere (my tester from my whiff box was light even ina small space/bathroom)
I don’t have Sanderson Sisters and only warmed 1 bar a while ago. I’d say the depth is close but SS has that musky amber tone. Maybe someone that’s very familiar with SSisters can chime in

Yes - it’s like always moving on the the next item without having time to enjoy and process the recently released set of whatever
I agree . I think the new catalog should have been released in August like the past. Time to enjoy these a little earlier!
💯
I agree. I wish they would do Fall releases in Aug so everyone could have a chance to warm and enjoy all things fall without trying to figure out the holiday collections so fast.
Amen 🙌
Totally agree about LTOs, it really bothers me that they seem to be going for the quantity vs quality business model these days.

Great review. I have to agree with you about the amount of lto's coming at us. I'm not going to try many of them because there are so many. I decided to add two or three to my next club order and I'll be happy with that. 🙂
Great approach
Ursula and Cranberry Candy Cane. Thanks Patricia.
I hear your rant!! Scentsy has overwhelmed me so much the past year or so with all the new LTO's right on top of each other, that I have somewhat just given up. I can't keep up with the buying and the warming. I REALLY want to warm some of my favorites from the catalog, but like you said, many of us work full-time and aren't home enough to do this. It has almost taken the excitement out of the LTO's. Thanks for the videos, Patricia! My votes are for Cranberry Candy Cane and Pumpkin Cashmere.
Hopefully the will make some changes
Thanks Patricia! Voting for Cherries Jubilee and Pumpkin Cashmere this round. I agree about LTO's - I think a seasonal LTO is a good thing....maybe a few a year...Christmas, Fall, Valentines Day etc. It feels like there is something new every couple of weeks..often the LTO's don't seem as strong or long lasting as older scents....and as a customer sometimes it feels overwhelming....I barely get one delivered and another LTO is there and with shipping costs it can all be a little much. I can see how it's a lot for consultants too.
Yes - sometimes less is more
Cranberry Candy Cane and Pumpkin Cashmere.
I agree with too many LTO's, especially at this time of year. I do feel overwhelmed and I don't even do all that you do or others. I also, as a seasonal melter, don't want to be promoting or melting anything hibiscus, tropical or nectar in the month of October or anywhere in the Fall/Winter season! I appreciate the Breast Cancer Awareness collection for what it represents but I think some different choices could have been made to make it more season appropriate. Pink Leather would have been nice in that collection instead of a SOTM in August with a warmer it didn't really go with.
The Open Plains collection came out of nowhere for me! That definitely could have been put somewhere else! How about after the Christmas/Holiday delivery cut off?! I love melting wax but Scentsy as a company can be very frustrating to me at times.
Shannon 😊
I think when I saw that Open Plains Collection announced I nearly lost my shhht
Sleigh ride and Pumpkin Cashmere. I agree with you that it seems that we are having multiple LTOs every month. It's overwhelming and sometimes it causes so much competition we lose out on our favorite scents.
Yes - well said
Happy Tester Tuesday! Cranberry Candy Cane and Pumpkin Cashmere.
Thanks Angie
Excellent rant! 🙂 Adding this comment after announcing my hiatus from RUclips. Exactly one of my reasons for taking a break - so many, too many new scents to keep up with. When you are a RUclips reviewer man it gets tough to stay on top of things. I also think Scentsy is giving up quality for quantity maybe because of the plethora of wax vendor competition especially in the states. I worry about how it impacts sales figures of the tried & true catalogue bars - with everyone distracted by new things & there are only so many $$$ to go around. My vote: Pumpkin Cashmere & Cherries Jubilee.
I’m still sad about your RUclips departure but of course I want all my fellow Canadian girls to be happy. I appreciate you and the hard work you’ve put into your channel
Pumpkin Kashmir and cranberry candy cane 💜
Earlier this year- I thought they slowed down on the LTOs but I think they saved them all for fall 😂. My votes are for cherries jubilee and cranberry candy cane
Doug you’re likely right again!
My votes and both I love. Cranberry candy cane and cherries jubilee
🌺Cranberry Candy Cane and Pumpkin Cashmere.🧡
AS a customer I love LTOs and reviews, I think they are like those surprise guests that show up at unannounced at party that everyone loves 😂😂😂 HOWEVER, as a consultant, I feel your struggle
It was one of mine. I couldn't review all of them because either I didn't have time or I couldn't afford it at the time of its pre purchase. I understand completely. Now there really are MORE and MORE LTOs, even since I stopped being a consultant in 2020.
My picks are Monsters Inc and
Cranberry Candy Cane.
I think you just hit the nail on the head with this comment
Ms Patricia
I like any and all your videos. I appreciate your time and effort.
My gripe with Scentsy is nothing seems strong anymore just lots of underwhelming scents 😢
I will try a few of these new ones
Thanks for the feedback.
Cherries Jubilee & Cranberry Candy Cane, thanks!
Cranberry Candy Cane and Sleigh Ride
I agree with the increased number of LTO’s. I feel Scentsy has been shifting to stay on trend with the vendors. Have you seen their lists of wax offered - omg it’s insanely overwhelming. The difference is that vendors release their seasonal collections all at one time versus the slow trickle approach of Scentsy. I believe this method also increases sales as people will order more than just a few LTO’s to justify the cost of shipping. My complaint has always been the cure time when it comes to LTO’s. They ship too fresh and by the time they’re ripe, the season has passed. Most warm immediately, and are unfortunately left with weak impressions of scent/throw/performance on bars that develop into strong performers with a little time. I don’t believe these practices will change until/unless the owners return and bring back a little balance. There is a huge difference between staying on trend versus staying current/relevant, and I feel the owner’s style reflected the latter.
Excellent points Kara. I can just imagine the amount of wax everyone has right now
I enjoy watching your reviews all the time!! I really wish they would bring back the ones everyone seems to want the most rather than bring new bars that are less in strength and not as good, but having said that, I also do like a new bar that’s a great performer, I vote for sleigh ride and cranberry candy cane
Great feedback. We all want solid performers
I agree with the LTO’s it’s too much! This fall catalog release has been such a disaster and I hope they learned their lesson! It’s hard for us consultants to do our job and inform customers of what’s coming when they are still waiting on their orders that was placed on Sept. 1! And now you want me to offer holiday to them that’s launching this Sunday and they haven’t even received their fall and harvest stuff yet! Come on Scentsy you have to do better! End of rant 😂. My votes are for pumpkin cashmere and cranberry candy cane. Thanks Patricia!
I feel bad I ranted and got everyone stirred up. But if everyone is this fired up it’s got to be an issue I guess!!
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I agree! I wish they would read through these comments.
I’m glad my nose isn’t going crazy ! I immediately smelled fruit loops when I smelled vanilla barn wood . My votes are cherries jubilee and cranberry candy cane. I actually enjoy the amount of LTO’s recently.
I get burned out on the same things all the time so the newness keeps me excited.
Do you buy the all LTOs or just certain ones?
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes just the ones that sound in my wheelhouse. If there are a couple out of the collection I think I’ll like but not the others I’ll just add them to an in and out club and remove them if I don’t end up loving it.
Cherries julibelee & pumpkin cashmere
I find that Vanilla Barnwood is a dupe for Vanilla Birch at Bath and Body Works. I am so happy it's coming back this fall. I didn't club it last year, but I will be sure to club it this year.
I’ll have to re-smell that one!
Pretty interesting all if the holiday collection made a return with catalog additions
Cranberry candy cane and sleigh ride!

Ursula and sleigh ride.
I would like Scentsy to pump the breaks on the LTOs and Disney. Way too much Disney lately. Also, the timing of the releases needs to be revamped. There was no reason why the harvest and harvest favorites couldn't be released on the same day. Some people rushed to grab stuff from the harvest for fear of sell out and then did the same a week later with the favorites.
Thanks for weighing in - great points
Poor Unfortunate Souls and Cranberry Candycane please. Agree about the LTOs. They are exciting but there's been so many its hard to keep track and takes away from opportunities to try current catalog scents. It almost feels like those get put in my club at end of season and enjoyed off-season because during that season I was too busy with the LTOs!
I’m trying to lessen the wax I buy so if that means less early releases then so be it
Good morning Patricia! My votes are for Sleigh Ride and Cherries Jubilee. I agree with you on Vanilla Barnwood. The Rose Tea Warmer is a great little workhouse! Fall seems to have a lot of LTOs. Wish they would just release them in one shot so you didn’t have to play the Queue game every week and shipping. Thank you Patrica! Sincerely 🥰
The staggered approach is done for a reason which is both good and bad for consultants and consumers alike.
I like LTOs, but I would rather they drop the collections at the same time instead of a week apart each time, shipping costs make me wait and put it in club. I do feel like the scentsy consultants should still just buy what y'all are interested in and review them for us. It seems like such a waste of your time and money to buy the ones you don't enjoy. I would watch whatever you had to review🤗
Thank you - very nice to hear
Cranberry Candy Cane & Sleigh Ride 😊
Pumpkin cashmere and cherry jubilee
I love LTOs but its very overwhelming right now because you want to try them all in case one is club worthy. I guess its a Fear of Missing Out, but the pocket book gets overwhelming too. Lol
I think they could slow down just a wee bit so we can enjoy the scents currently availabe. I think some of these collections get lost in the shuffle.
I'll be placing more orders this season than I ever have in the past, but I guess its a marketing strategy and good for scentsy business.
Great video.
My votes this week are for Cranberry candycane and Cherries Jubilee.
Very overwhelming indeed

Cherry's Jubilee and Cranberry Candy Cane :) I'm mostly excited for Halloween stuff rn, but those two sound intriguing!
I haven't been keeping up with Scentsy as much in general lately, so I am completely out of touch with the LTOs. 😂
There’s quite a few of them

I wish they would stop with LTOs and just bring back what we love- like SPP, or even Marachino Sugar Cookie. This is why a lot of us are giving up transitiining to vendor wax. I vote for Cherries Jubilee and Pumpkin Cashmere.
Reduce the number of LTOs or at least the amount of wax offered each time. In the past sometimes it was just a warmer or other products
Thanks Patricia! My votes are for Cherries Jubilee and Cranberry Candycane
Pumpkin Cashmere + Cherries Jubilee! And never too many LTOs for me!!!
Do you buy all or just select ones or club select ones?
My vote is for cranberry candycane and cherries jubilee.
My votes are for Ursula: Poor Unfortunate Souls and Cranberry Candy Cane please. Yes all of the LTOs are overwhelming. Thanks for the reviews and have a great week! 😊
Thanks Jackie
Ursula and pumpkin cashmere please … and yes I agree about the number of ltos and the holiday bricks are also now available for consultants. .I nearly triggered the bundle but I’m going to wait for the reviews it’s too expensive to get the bars I don’t think Im going to love. Thank you so much for your reviews ..they are a blessing. 😊
I went back and forth about getting the early release bricks. Which says A LOT
Sleigh ride and pumpkin cashmere - and I agree there are too many lto scents! I’m fine with a harvest collection, a holiday collection, and a small valentine or Mother’s Day collection but there are constantly new collections and all with 4 or 5 scents. It’s too much. I’d rather have them bring back tried and true scents /fan faves for some of these occasions rather than gamble on new ones that aren’t always that great. A 3 scent harvest collection would’ve been fine with me as I only liked 3 of them anyway!
It’s overwhelming in many ways
Yes, I've been saying that too! Bring back the oldies.
My votes are for Ursula and Cherries Jubilee
Sleigh Ride and Monsters, Inc. are my votes. Thanks as always!
You’re welcome
Thank you Patricia excellent reviews like always!!! I agree less is more so we can really enjoy them without a rush.
I become a consultant last week and I’m trying to figure out my way !! My votes are for Poor unfortunate souls & pumpkin cashmere. Have a productive and fun filled week!!
Good luck on your journey! Remember not to spend family money on Scentsy…instead spend Scentsy money on family
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes 💕💕💕💩thank you!!!!!! And HOW TRUE your observation is!!!! Yeap. I joined to be able to have early access to collections but…. You are absolutely right about making a budget and sticking to it. For now I’m my only customer 😂🤣
I vote for Cranberry Candy Cane and Pumpkin Cashmere. Thanks for reviewing! I agree, the amount of LTOs is super overwhelming! I’m trying to really restrict myself on how many LTOs I pick up going forward because I’m desperate to deplete my stash a bit!
Yes me too. It’s so hard with my channel, I don’t want to let my customers down.
Pumpkin Cashmere and Cranberry Candy Cane are my votes. I feel quality of a wax bar should be over quantity(LTO). I suppose some people like lighter scents but I prefer stronger scent throws. Thanks for another great review.
Agree 100%
Cherries Jubilee and Sleigh Ride 🤗
Cranberry candycane and pumpkin cashmere.
I agree that there are too many LTOs. Seems like it is set up to encourage either club or someone to buy every other week.
It’s hard to keep up
My vote this week is for Cranberry Candy Cane & Pumpkin Cashmere please
Hi Patricia, I agree about the number of scents and the impossibility of keeping up with them all. A few good standard scents would be fantastic. Sometimes it feels like there are so many it is off-putting. I would like to vote for Pumpkin Cashmere as I tend to like the cashmere scents, and Cherries Jubilee please.
So true!

Agree with your comments on the LTO's, I have not even had a chance to warm the catalog scents. Wish they would just bring back some of the classics, my vote is for Pumpkin Cashmere and Poor Unfortunate Souls. Thank you for the videos
From your lips…
As a consultant I have to agree that the LTO's are overwhelming. As much as I love them because they're fun I never seem to be caught up on them.
It’s excessive, especially comparing back to previous years
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes yes. It was a lot simpler and more streamlined years ago when I first started.
Hi , great video.
My votes this week are Cranberry cane candy n cherries jubilee......Thanks😊
Thank you! My votes for next week are Cherries Jubilee and Cranberry Candy Cane.
Cranberry sugar cane and sleigh ride
If you remember the scent COZY CASHMERE we had a few years ago I think on day 2 vanilla Barnwood smells very similar to cozy cashmere and I love it!! I think Rum Pum Plum smells very similar to Pretty & Plum. There are so many different things coming out lately that it’s hard to keep up that’s for sure.
Yes I can see that for both. Maybe more richness behind Cozy Cashmere
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes i definitely agree!
Agreed, too many LTOs. I know the fall is worse because we get this cluster of LTOs all at the same time, but even earlier this year I was struggling to keep up. I have not purchased any non-catalogue or non-club scents since the Mango collection in Feb. I'm maxed out! There's WAY too many. In my opinion, we don't need a holiday collection (of 5 bars this year too!) AND Scents of the Season AND holiday bricks - just one of those is enough to supplement the new catalogue and SOTMs. Even the fun licensed collections get overshadowed because there's just too much going on and they're just too expensive. It's overkill at this point, I'm not too happy, lol. I'm also worried about how Scentsy is planning to sustain this level of output... If we're starting to feel burnt out, what about their scent designers?! I'm not sure it's wise.
Excellent excellent excellent points!!!
Cherries Jubilee & Cranberry Candy Cane, please!
Ursula and Monsters Inc.I can see it being overwhelming for you but I admit I love watching all the videos! You probably never have time to melt your stash.
Yea I don’t which is why I’m in wax crisis mode over here.
Hi Patricia! My votes are for pumpkin cashmere and cranberry candy cane!
Sleigh Ride & Pumpkin Cashmere

Pumpkin Cashmere & Cherries Jubilee.
YES too many LTO's!!! I at least wish the collections were offered for the entire catalog season. Too much adding to club, switching frequencies worried im gonna miss out on a great scent. I shouldnt have FOMO over wax!!! 😂
Even if they were available for 3 months that would be nice
Cherries Jubilee and Pumpkin Cashmere please. Seems like from September until January there is so much coming out. Doesn't seem quite as bad the rest of the year. I am having to learn that I don't need to try everything. I get overwhelmed by how much wax I have at the moment.
Yes - I’m swimming in wax and having to say no to certain things coming out
Thanks Patricia! I do like vanilla barnwood. My votes are cherries jubilee and cranberry candy cane. I do agree with you on the abundance of LTO’s. I know how time consuming a family and a job are lol so I can’t imagine also trying to keep up with RUclips Scentsy content. I don’t order everything as I sell mostly to myself - if its something not in my wheelhouse I just don’t order. So I’m in a different situation than a lot of consultants.
Yes I feel like if I don’t order things I’m letting my customers down
Cherries jubilee and pumpkin cashmere 😊
I already closed voting, but one of your votes made it in 😀
Pumpkin Cashmere and Cherries Jubiliee
I like having the options but there are a ton of LTOs and I definitely cannot afford to order all of them.
All these LTOs are why I missed out on Pacific Sandalwood. Sigh. I just couldn’t get a collection I was very unsure about!
Generally I’ll try more of the LTOs in fall/winter, because they are more up my alley. Sometimes I really regret it, other years like this year, I’m very happy. But if I don’t think I’ll like scents, I do my best not to buy them, even if it means missing out. Fortunately we can add almost anything to club, and then this year they’ve made the bars available for individual purchase, so far. Helpful.
I’m glad we have more opportunities for early access, but sometimes I have to say no to that, too, depending! Sample cups or testers would be the ideal way to go….or just less of these LTOs ha. (I was even wishing earlier today that the harvest bars were catalog bars instead of many of the new releases….)
I’m sure with the hype you may end up being disappointed with Pacific Sandalwood
That could be true!
My votes this week are Cranberry Candycane & Cherries Jubilee. I also agree way to many LTOs.
Yes! Way too many LTO’s to handle. Does Scentsy believe it must release something new every week? My sense is that there are many more licensed LTO’s now in the mix and perhaps that’s what’s sending me over the edge. I’ve all but given up on buying the licensed bars as I find their performance quite often underwhelming. Thanks for allowing us to vent. My votes for next week are Cherries Jubilee and Pumpkin Cashmere please. 🙂
I probably could have vented for 10 minutes
Voting for: cranberry candy cane & pumpkin cashmere 🎃
My votes are cherries jubilee and cranberry candy cane. I agree, they seem to be releasing a lot of LTOs. I wouldn't mind so much if they were better performers or stronger. But it seems that the holiday and breast cancer collection are pretty much on the light side. Harvest was maybe better with some strong bars.
I’ve only warmed 2 of the 9 you’ve mentioned and they weren’t strong enough for my preferences.
I feel like the release of LTO’s goes way into overdrive September - November. It is overwhelming. I find myself questioning a lot of Scentsy’s decisions lately.
I smell Froot Loops in VB. Like a cross between vanilla waves/cutie pie cupcake/clementine cupcake. 🤷🏼♀️ Not what I was expecting. Also, I was hoping for a little more sweet, deep plum in RPP. But I do like it.
My votes go to poor unfortunate souls and monsters inc.
Maybe things will return to basics once Heidi and Orville return
So very well said and thank you for the reviews. The LTO's are starting to get to be a bit too much. Hard to get excited when there is always a new collection, or launch. I haven't been able to try Monstropolis and Poor unfortunate souls, so those will be my votes before they return to the vault lol I'll probably have to toss all the licensed bars into my club just so I can try them! Now bricks are coming and it's just hard to keep up because I can't always get the early access.
I did get the early access but I don’t need any more bricks
I do appreciate your vivid descriptions. Like cutie pie cupcake on a piece of wood. 😊pacific sandalwood is a scent I am hoping Scentsy will have as an option for voting for BBMB so will enjoy trying her 2nd cousin
How would you compare Rum Plum Plum to Sanderson sisters (more spice heavy?
Not quite ready for holiday
And I think Monsters Inc might not be available come Oct 1 (but still want to vote for it)
And
Pumpkin cashmere (my tester from my whiff box was light even ina small space/bathroom)
I don’t have Sanderson Sisters and only warmed 1 bar a while ago. I’d say the depth is close but SS has that musky amber tone.
Maybe someone that’s very familiar with SSisters can chime in
Ursula and Pumpkin Cashmere, please 😘
Cherries jubilee and cranberry candy cane please!
