Spring/Summer NEW Bar FIRST SNIFFS & Retiring Items Haul! | Scentsy 🌺
Hey guys it’s Robyn! Today I’m sharing my Spring Summer 2023 Scentsy new bar haul and first sniffs, as well as a haul of discontinuing fall/winter items!
I am an independent Scentsy consultant from Dawson Creek BC, Canada and have been a lover of all things home fragrance and bath/body for many years. I love connecting with other home fragrance fanatics and sharing thoughts!
All opinions are my honest opinions, and everyone’s nose is different, so what I think may differ from what you think, and that’s what’s so fun about this! I also try to include information like duration and strength of scents whether I personally like them or not, to help you make informed purchasing decisions.

Thank you for sharing ❤❤
I can’t wait to try the new ones! 😍🥰🎉
Great video! Thanks for sharing!💕
Woohoo you got yours fast!
Can’t wait to get my bars and testers!
I love the green bar (got it in the whiff box). I put one cube in my bedroom after cleaning.❤️
Robin thank you for sharing your first sniff and reaction of the new scents for spring catalog… you have me excited… hearing your thoughts im definitely so glad to have clubbed pink cotton, sugar berry mint, satin sheets and vanilla waves

I’m looking forward to some of these new scents. I originally didn’t think I would like a lot of them but hearing a few peoples opinions on them I’m thinking differently. I thought the same thing about Mountain Sunset…it’s a similar color to Coastal and it has coconut in it…confusing for a mountain. But it sounds good. Great stock up haul! Woodland Suede is wonderful! It’s in my club. Thank you for sharing!
Great haul Robyn 💜thank you for sharing the first sniffs and being honest about them … “ headache in a bar” lol

Hi Robyn, I’m with you on the Scent Soft, super surprised it’s going completely. I think perhaps it was just too expensive for folks that aren’t consultants and able to use rewards on it? Excited to try the new releases with the exception of Soakin Rays 😂

I think that’s Scent Soaks downfall - it’s pricy without rewards and it’s not part of the laundry bundle.

I got my testers as I was watching this. So, I paused and sniffed with you. Sugar Blossom has NO bakery at all. I was pleasantly surprised by Mountain Sunset. I like Mango Matcha, Tropic Nectar, and Raspberry Hibiscus Tea. I don’t care for any of the others, as I’m not a floral, fresh type of person. Good thing I love so many original scents from the catalog!

Hi Robyn..💕...yayyy happy mail..😊 I doesn't sound like there are many new release bars that will be appealing to us and that's ok as there are plenty of others that are. We wont bother with lake my day if its not the fresh air aquatic without the salt, luckily with all the lakes surrounding us we don't need a bar to capture the scent...😀 Definitely trying raspberry tea and tropic nectar for sure. I am disappointed about the one and only bakery being a bakery dud. We may get more scent soft before its gone. We like the cloudberry dreams and pink cotton but are disappointed with the coral waters scent....I wish we had tried the magnolia linen instead, have you used magnolia linen laundry? Thank you again for sharing your goodies and thoughts. Hope all is well. Have a great weekend..

Unless you love Sandswept or Atlantic Air, I think you’re good skipping Lake My Day - enjoy the real thing! I am beyond disappointed in the “bakery” bar too - a) it’s so so so light and b) it’s a straight up floral. It’s no more bakery than say, Paradise Petals (which was not bakery at all). Oh dear, I’m sorry Coral Waters isn’t cutting it for you. I have not tried Magnolia Linen in laundry - the wax gave me a roaring headache so I skipped the laundry. Hopefully someone else can chime in on how it was in laundry. Hope you guys have a lovely weekend too!
Banana Leaf and Bamboo was in the Whiff Box in December I wanna say and omgoodness it's beautiful I didn't realize how much I enjoy Bamboo and banana Leaf notes. I was looking forward to Sugar Blossom until you compared it to Love and Happiness which I really don't love and it's disappointing that the only bakery doesn't appear to even be bakery. I only really liked one of last seasons new releases so this time I'm waiting til my testers arrive and sniff them before I order any or all of the new releases and after hearing your reviews I strongly feel I made the right choice. I bet Melissa Johnson Haight is going to love soaking rays lol

Glad to see your first sniffs. Honestly, nothing is really jumping out at me except maybe Rasp Hibiscus Tea. I have Desert Tropics in my Club so I'm good there. Most of my fav summer scents are regular catalog and all my fav non-LTOs returned so that particular Club is going to be almost empty soon. I'll have to add something to it so I'm not paying $8 shipping for 2 bars. LOL! It may just turn into my "in/out" Club per Linda H. I'm feeling you on the Scent Soft. I'm SO sad it's leaving completely. But I do understand because it is really expensive if you're not using rewards or Club perks. I love the Sugar Scrub too but I'm currently stocked with 4-5 so I can't decide if I "need" more.

None of the new releases are similar to me, but Kukui and Coconut (last summer collection, made it to catalog this season) has a similar tone. I’d try that!
Thanks for this! Your descriptions on first thoughts were quite thorough & helpful. I have smelled them all in tester size but sometimes that’s not enough. I didn’t haul the 10 pack offered to us because, to be perfectly honest, I wasn’t that enthused. I think on my teeny tiny tester size first sniffs my favourites were the Raspberry Hibiscus Tea & Mountain Sunset. The “bakery” bar was not bakery to my nose either. I’m warming Vanilla Waves in my office today. Although it’s not a favourite of mine it is an excellent performer & a good summer bakery. I’m not sure what is up with Scentsy & bakery. A lot of bakery-ish type scents were voted back in this round of BBMB so clearly people like bakery scents. I suppose to be fair they see what sells better than we do but gosh … They could do some summer boardwalk-carnival sweet scents or berry/fruity ice cream or an actual marshmallow chocolate graham cracker s’mores or say a really creamy vanilla coconut pie scent. The scent gurus need to go sit in Dairy Queen & figure out how to turn a Skor Blizzard or a banana split into a summer Scentsy bar. I’ll stop now. Happy Friday my friend❤️

Woah, that’s awesome! This must be your catalog!!! Yes, I’d be less salty about Sugar Blossom if it was under floral where it belongs.
I finally got my set of bars and I honestly feel like these almost all remind me of other scents. For example, mountain sunset reminds me of driftwood jasmine. Soaking rays reminds me of sea sun and fun and sunshine and tanlines. Woodland meadow also smells very very familiar (just can't pinpoint exactly) and sugar blooms smells like blue hyacinth mixed with love and happiness to me. I'm hoping they perform better than initial impression. With costs of everything rising, they certainly can't afford to drop in performance (ya know these days price goes up and quality goes down --- so far Scentsy has held strong so I'm hoping they don't start weakening their scents now)

Yes, lots of “this reminds me of….” this round. And I agree - it seems every company in every market is upping prices and lowering quality. I hope Scentsy can avoid doing the same. I will say Sugar Blossom was a total dud for us. Maybe a 1/10 in strength in my daughters bedroom (small/med bdrm) with the door shut. Wax usually does exceptionally well in her room, nothing has ever done that poorly in her room EVER.

The trouble is most newer (post 90s) homes DO have open layouts. Lighter scents are probably ideal for earlier floor plans when rooms were more defined and smaller, but most homes are (or have been renovated to be) open now. Scentsy needs to be able to fill those spaces or it’s just not going to work out!
