I used to work at Starbucks and your experience with Velvet Coffee reminds me of the way it smells inside of a Starbucks, which is a nice coffee smell, vs how you smell after working 8 hours in a Starbucks which I always referred to as the "bad coffee smell" which is a bitter, sort of weirdly cigarette smokey, coffee ground scent. Two very different smells....

IS THAT COMMON? BECAUSE IVE BEEN SMELLING COFFEE AS A WEIED CIGARETTE SMELL FOR A YEAR NOW AND ITS NOT GOING BACK TO NORMAL, I DONT WORK AT ANY COFFEE COMPANYS OR DRINK COFFEE MYSELF. it started when my grandma came over and drank coffe everyday, but she was only here for 2 weeks. this was back in 2022, WHEN WILL IT GO AWAY AND IS IT NORMAL?

@@upspo Omg...I mean for me that weird cigarette coffee smell was definitely a thing and it was more connected to being around brewing coffee than anything else and I think that bc Starbucks uses darker roasts it makes the scent more intense? So maybe your Grandma was drinking stronger coffee which made that smell more prominent? It is such a specific smell I can totally imagine it being a case where once you smell the coffee cigarette smell you can't un-smell it?

Exfoliating my underarms has changed the game for me! I’ve struggled with bad body odour all my life, to the point where I’ve had many people approach me (gently) about getting a special deodorant, it has been mortifying. I remember looking into so many methods as a teenager and nothing worked for me (I remember literally rubbing fresh lemon on my arm pits once because someone said it worked!). I work with people so I wanted to make sure I smelt good all the time. I saw someone recommend exfoliating with a rough scrub after using soap and then applying deodorant. This changed my life! I use coffee ground based scrubs because they work best for my skin chemistry, and then apply my natural deodorant and I smell good all day, no matter the weather. I’ll never go without a scrub!

@@RainyButterfly Hey, sorry for the delayed response, for some reason, KZread didn’t notify me of this reply ?? But my favorite of the ones that I’ve tried and the one that I tend to repurchase every time is the Vitamin C scent, it definitely is just a mild, citrusy and soapy kinda scent, but that very much appeals to me! I’ve also tried the Blue Lagoon, Candied Lemon, Moroccan Rose, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Strawberry, Tahitian Vanilla Bean, Velvet Coffee, and Watermelon scents from Tree Hut (😮‍💨😮‍💨)- of those offerings, Blue Lagoon, Candied Lemon, Moroccan Rose, and Strawberry were favorites, too, while my least favorite was Pumpkin Spice Latte. However, the reason why I didn’t like the PSL scent is because it was much sweeter to me than I’d anticipated and I am also mostly averse to sweet fragrances, especially more bakery good-type ones, so if you tend to enjoy gourmand scents you likely won’t have the same issue. I apologize again for my delayed and now lengthy response, but thanks for asking and hopefully you found this helpful ! :’)💕

@@TheStitchWitchPodcast HA HA, I’m not gonna lie, I did, too, at first, particularly because I value Lauren Mae Beauty’s takes on things so much. But I also know that she’s a gourmand lover whereas I’m not, so it’s understandable that our taste in fragrance would be markedly different in other areas as well. I can only assume that scents are like songs, where some translate better to one person’s nose/ears than they do to another person’s 😅💝

I was cracking up at the beginning because vitamin c and Moroccan rose were the last two that I bought and I’d been like forcing myself to like them because I don’t buy a new one until I’m out of my current one, and I just hate them so much 😂

Ugh I purchased the blue lagoon because I finally ran out of the Peppermint (the best imo) and literally my husband said I smelled like his grandmas bathroom! You called it shell soaps is the exact smell.

I found tahitian vanilla bean scrubs at tj maxx about a month ago and bought them all! Its the absolute best! Its like a perfumy boozy vanilla and i love it! I have like 7 of them left including the jumbo tub. I just didnt want to be without it! I also got the shave oil on targets website a few weeks ago for like 5 bucks so guess they was just clearancing out the stock. So good! I just find that it goes with everything. I absolutely love pineapple too. And the candied lemon. And desert haze is wonderful i just dont reach for it much bc its def occasion specific,

Interestingly enough, I’ve never been a Tree Hut scrub girl - I love their shave oils and body creams, but my favorite scrub is anything from the Onyx Bathhouse brand at TJ Maxx. The texture is sooo good and I prefer them to Tree Hut, but maybe I’ll give them a try again soon!

I smelled the vanilla today and loved it and I usually am not the hugest vanilla fan. Lol so funny how we all have different tastes/takes on this kind of stuff.

Its so funny you open with talking about the bad coffee scent and now they've released a whole line with iced coffee, boba, lattes, and macchiato lol. plus sweet cream body butter!

I love the Watermelon and Strawberry scrubs, but I also love the smell of some artificial fruit flavors in candies like laffy taffy, jolly ranchers and airheads, so it makes sense, lol.

My favorites: 10: watermelon 9:vanilla 8:blue lagoon 7: vitamin c 6: coco colada 5:Moroccan rose 4:iced coffee 3:rainbow sherbert 2:tropical mango 1: peach sorbet

you are such a kindred spirit- i LOVE that you did this! i've never had a bad experience with Tree Hut but i am careful to skip the salt scrubs because they irritate my skin. (and i think they make fewer of those now.) I'm longing to smell the new fall scents!

Yes, we need a scrub video. And, we need to see a video on the new fall scents.

Loved this video! I recently bought the cotton candy scrub and I like it a lot. I can’t wait for the scrubs video that has multiple brands. This is super niche, but I’d really like to see a video about shampoos that smell good and work well for your hair.

I know this is a tree hut video, but I went into Walmart today to get a scrub, since I used the two I had up. I found a Tahitian vanilla scrub by Walmart. It has not too sweet, kinda relaxing and a little sexy Vanilla scent. Maybe you would like it. They also had an exotic Rose, coconut lime scent and a few other scents. They were in the same section as tree hut, so it seems they are trying to dupe them. Idk about a dupe for tree hut, I've only had one scrub from them and it was a small one, but I used the Tahitian vanilla tonight and it was amazing! It felt good without being too harsh and my skin felt so soft after. It has shae butter and oils in it to hydrate. I got the rose one too and I can't wait to use it.

Ooohh, gotta try the Cotton Candy one. Whenever I see pink and read cotton candy, I think Lush Snow Fairy, and I've had my fair share of that. Birthday Cake gives me some Blue Moon ice cream vibes. My fave is not around anymore - Brown Sugar. Soooo good. It has those caramelly brown sugar vibes that remind me of the darker edges of a freshly baked cookie. Tree Hut, bring it baaaaaack!

These scrubs are positively addicting. If I had more storage space in my shower I’d probably have an entire collection of them.

Screamed when I got the notification for this video! Love oddly specific ❤ candy cane is my fave, I bought backups!

IMHO cotton candy is a dupe for the lush snow fairy. Its pink, sparkly, and the scent is Similar. When i smelled it that came to me immediately. Tree hut also has milk tea and apple macciato. I will probably play this video a few times great video! Love these scrubs. More than ouai.

Desert haze is my favorite, I switch around every couple months and always go back to desert haze. I bought it years ago when I first moved in with my bf so now when I smell it , it truly takes me back to those first days in our old apartment 💜

I Love Moroccan Rose! Best scent Ever!! ❤

I love these for a harsh scrub, but I was in downtown Alexandria,VA and came across The Sugar Apothecary and fell in LOVE with their foaming sugar scrub. Their Pina colada is amazing. They have an etsy shop and some stuff on Amazon.

My top three in order are 1. Pumpkin Spice Latte 2. Tropic Glow 3. Exotic Bloom. We def have different preferences for scents; I loved this video! It's so fun to me to see which scents ppl like and why.

I used to have the Tahitian vanilla bean scrub and shave oil and I didn’t think it smelled like vanilla at all. It smelled almost floral to me. I smelled their new vanilla and it smells closer to what I expect vanilla to smell like… but I agree it could be more gourmand. Also, desert haze smells so similar to Into The Night by B&BW. I always use those together 💜

Velvet Coffee seems like one people love or hate. I drink black coffee and I do not really like sweet coffee so (for me) it is not dirty. I like that it was just freshly brewed coffee without sweetener, creamer, or anything like that. But if you prefer sweet coffees, I can see why this would perhaps not be your thing. Excited for the new coffee scent. Maybe a comparison video?

So happy to see this video! I am almost done with the Vanilla and both me and my husband hate the smell. It smells like play dough to us. I’m going to pick up one of your top 3 for a refill!

I love the Moroccan rose! For literally the same reason you said you didn’t like them I loved them! That’s so funny😂

Exotic bloom is my favorite 😍

The limited edition from this past winter, Iced Coffee, is my all time favorite so far. I paired it with the native body wash in the sugar cookie scent and it was divineeeee

Love this body care fragrance ranking. I'm newer to this brand but I'm excited to try more. I'd definitely love to hear more about body care products with fragrance being the focal point.

Desert Haze is my fave, have repurchased many times already, I wish they would come out with a body butter in that scent, I fell in love with tropic glow plus have that in the shave oil bc it smells so delicious and I just ordered the boba milk tea, hope I like it but I do have my backup of desert haze already for when I finish tropic glow 😅

Me and my mom went to get my first tree hut today, we were there for summer camp shopping and i came home with rainbow sorbet. IT SMELLS SOOOOO GOOD!! She also said vitamin c smells like baby powder lol .

My favorite tree hut scent is Moroccan rose. I finished a scrub. I have the shave oil and spray in the scent. I want to repurchase the a new scrub in the scent. I also want the shave scrub and the body cream in the scent. I think it's such a clean but sexy scent. The notes are bergamot, tea rose and amber. Bergamot and amber are to of my favorite scents and the rose gives it a touch of floral with out being too much.

The vanilla bean one is one of my favorites! But I am OBSESSED with the new sweet cream one they just came out with too! I really wanna find the almond honey one that was discontinued because that sounds like it would smell like heaven

Been loving all your videos and all these scrubs are so fun! Would love to see what masculine scents you like on you or others!

Tree Hut is now available in Canada and I got to smell a bunch of these in store. Most of the scents were fruity and I didn't like them. But Vanilla... that one I liked and couldn't stop thinking about.

I LOOOVE cotton candy!!! It’s subtle but long lasting ugh it’s SOO good!!

I like the fruity scents. I love the Cotton Candy layered w/B&BW Cotton Candy Clouds or Sweet Tooth.

The fact that they discontinued Lemon Blueberry Tart is a CRIME. It is my all time favorite. Candied Lemon comes close, but it's not the same. I think it's so funny, but I HATE the Cotton Candy scent. 🙈 Like, it actually made me mad when I used it. I get half chewed bubblegum for sure, but in a stuck to the bottom of a desk sort of way. It smells so synthetic to me.

I have the cotton candy scrub and I agree it smells great!

Omg just finding this video and its what I've always needed! I absolutely LOVE tree hut and always buy mine online so never know what they're really gonna smell like til I get it. My absolute favorite is Sugar Cookie 😊 Moroccan rose is #1 rated but I've never tried it cause I do not like rose at all. Loved Watermelon but felt the black bits in it stuck everywhere and didn't dissolve Ike other ones

Watermelon lasted me a full year, it was so strong but in a good way! It reminded me of watermelon bubblegum. I didn’t get the stink that you mentioned. I often get that stink from Baby Powder scented products. Exotic Blooms smells good in the jar, but once I used it, it reminded me of hair lotion or conditioner…kind of a plastic doll smell or something. I gave it away.

The girl version of Axe, oh my god, GIRL, you nailed it!

oooh, so excited to see the scrub video you talked about at the end of the video! personally i've been really enjoying the sugar spider scrubs i bought a while back- two finger ballet is a really nice vanilla, but their chocolate scents are not the vibe for me. i really like the watermelon scrub from tree hut, but it's deffo not one i'll be repurchasing. fully agree about strawberry smelling very artificial, idk what it is about fruit scents but they can be so difficult to get right sometimes. i find that the wetter scrubs end up in my boyfriend's bathroom because his skin is a little more sensitive than mine, and it seems like he really likes the vanilla type scrubs so i'm sad to see tahitian vanilla bean is going because it's one he really enjoys. :(

I have just started using Tree Hut scrubs and love their fragrances. I am buying them to use with my Bath and Body works sets. Just tried the Boboa Milk Tea and really like it. I bought both the Velvet Coffee and Iced Coffee but haven't tried them yet. They are a good deal for the price

I love candid lemon 😭

Cotton Candy has a freshness maybe a hint of floral but ngl I was hoping for something like the Body Fantasies Cotton Candy. I wanted childhood nostalgia. lol

I miss the scent Pomegranate Acai - I really loved that scent and wish they would bring it back; hubby said it smells like something a high class call girl would wear, lol, don't know if I agree with that, but I did enjoy it.

I'm kinda new to actually purchasing scrubs. I've always just mixed sugar or salt into my conditioner and scrubbed away! But I got a free tree hut Pumpkin Spice Later with an ULTA promotion last year and I enjoyed it. I bought Desert Haze and Birthday cake. I love their body butters. My Favorite is Tropic Glow because its similar to the the Bum Bum cream but not as overpowering. I can actually use it on my whole body but the bum bum I use like perfume. I'm excited to smell the new Sweet Cream scent. Maybe its what I hoped birthday cake would be 🙂
