    Hi Robyn. I am so glad that I passed on trying the new Friends bar! Lol. Sounds like alot of people are complaining about the scent of that bar, so it's not just your nose! 🤣🤣. After watching a few videos, they say the same thing "weird, off-putting scent. No coffee note but more like just plain coconut oil"! Not sure what happened with this bar but it will be a hard pass for me! I didn't stock up on the end of summer scents as I just had a huge quarterly club ship and we have so much coming for the new catalog that I want to try. I did club a few of the spring/summer scents that I love like Bonfire Beach, Blue Agave & Melon, Berry Bright, Clementine Cupcake, Mahalo Coconut, Pina Colada Cha Cha, Make A Splash, A-Peeling Apple, Kukui & Coconut, Mango Mancha, Rainbow Sherbet, Ruby Nectarine, Skinny Dippin and Tangerine Sandalwood 🥰. There are others that I love too but I need to keep.room on my clubs to add in the new bars coming! 🤣🤣. Fall & Winter scents are my absolute faves too so that's what the majority of my collection is composed of. I did throw in a couple bars of the Three Thumbs Up bar and Blue Tonka & Sage and Pink Leather bars in my club shipment to try before they are gone 🙂. Can't wait to get order this week! How do I reach you to learn more about the shopping link? Never heard of it. That would be awesome if I can get a discount on my future orders! 🥰🥰. Thanks so much for sharing your haul. Enjoy your night my friend. Take care and God bless 🙂❤

    Hi Robyn, “Friends” was a flop, they had a chance and lost it there. Thank goodness a few vendors are top in coffee scents. Scentsy does have their high points, but they are missing lots of opportunities. Clementine Cupcake just needed a 6 month cure and it’s really good. We also use orange bulbs the most, keep s nice warm glow. Purple bulbs keep blue warmers closer to the true color. I wish Scentsy would make a smaller cotton clean up for mini warmers. Mega Balls! Thank you Robyn! 🥰

    Hi Robyn,
    Absolutely adore your mantle decor.
    I have no problem with the Friends bar as I knew it was going to be a sharp double espresso scent.
    I got some bars from a local friend and I have mixed them on different days in the same warmer with Hazelnut Latte, Hazelnut Cream, Vanilla Cream, Churro Churro, Almond Croissant, Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl or Vanilla Bean Buttercream and I have had no yukky scent issues.
    It ends up smelling like walking into a fancy coffee/bakery shop.
    I am betting it will be pretty good mixed with new Frosted Cinnamon Roll and Irish Cream as well.
    Just my humble opinion and thoughts for mixes.
    EDIT; Trying a mix of cinnamon vanilla and friends right now and so far its doing ok.
    My nose and taste is for really strong coffee with some flavored creamer so my scent preference will likely be much different than most.😊

    • @RobynH
      @RobynH  Рік тому +2

      Hey Lesley,
      Oh you’ve got some spectacular sounding mixes for this one! Thank you for sharing those! You’ve actually got me kind of excited to mix my last 2 bars of this - I think Almond Croissant and even the new Frosted Cinnamon Roll could mix well. Hazelnut Latte would be good too. Maybe adding a heavy bakery will make the bitter notes smell more coffeeish - I think you’re on to something!
      I am definitely a Starbucks latte/flavoured sweet coffee type of person, so maybe it will appeal to folks who enjoy a more bitter robust blend.

    I agree it's not coffee. I don't find it unpleasant but I would expect them to say they forgot to put the coffee in it. I would not recommend it at all.

I would love to know if anyone actually smells the prototype they plan to launch before they ship it.

    • @RobynH

      Coconut cream to me brings to mind creamer - coffee creamer. Or frothy coconut milk. I don’t get coconut cream so much as a unsweetened coconut oil scent - and bordering on rancid oil at that. I was hoping it would be a hint of coconut like the pretty vanillary/creamy coconut in Simply Vanilla or Vanilla Cream - that would have been lovely in a coffee scent!

    I literally snort laughed at your “ roast this bar” comment. Are we entirely sure something didn’t actually happen with the batch that’s being sold right now? Like…… the machine got clogged and the scent oils didn’t come out properly in production. Every review of this bar has said it was terrible, and it just makes me wonder if something legit went wrong. However, if nothing did go wrong then there is a minion working for Scentsy who is up to no good. Creating evil scents and empty promises of coffee, snickerdoodles, and apple bread.

      There’s no indication from head office that the batch is bad - this scent seems to be this way by design, which is almost worse LOL😬😅.
      I’ll defend Make me Snickerdoodle a little bit - if it weren’t being compared to its all star sibling and predecessor St Nickerdoodle, it would probably be a more solidly liked scent. But compared to something as amazing as St Nickerdoodle, that’s some big shoes to fill. 😅

    I could honestly say the same about the Frosted Cinnamon Roll wax which you love-I get zero cinnamon and a billion percent caramel so I was a bit disappointed as well in that bar. The Friends bar smells amazing in my home and lasts 2+ days. I got my Friends bars out and re-smelled them after your roast lol and I’m about to warm again to see if I was missing something. I really think it’s just a perception thing just like Perfect Pumpkin Pear (horrible rancid stomach acid vomit to me) so I think it’s safe to say that not everything is going to be for everyone but there’s bound something for everyone’s unique perception and taste.
