Default Strongest and Longest Lasting Scents?

I am not a Scentsy rep, but am thinking of joining. I am an incredible customer, though, (lol) and want to order a bunch of bricks while they are 10% off and before they are discontinued. I am very picky, though, about strong and long lasting scents.

I wondered if you might have any to recommend? My favorites currently are Eskimo Kiss, Pixie, Thunderstorm, Blueberry Cheesecake, Oats & Honey. I was thinking of trying French Kiss, Embers, Vanilla Suede, Amber Road, My Wish, and I'm totally open to others! Thanks!

I love this question and cannot wait to see the replies. I used to sell Scentsy, but I'm now focused on my primary business. However, I am still a customer. Personally, I think My Wish is one of the strongest along with Love Story, but that's subjective. I'm also picky about my candles being strong scented and long lasting.

Hello!

I think it is great you are thinking of joining! It was the best decision i ever made!

Any scent that is darker in color has a stronger base "note", which means it will smell stronger and longer. So, you might want to start with those scents

With that said, my customers order French Kiss and Vanilla Suede the most out of the ones you mentioned. I like Blueberry Cheesecake and Oats & Honey myself!

That is a difficult question to answer because the sense of smell is really an individual experience. I could tell you what I think is stronger and last longer and someone else will contradict it with their experience. Many of those previously mentioned I think are very mild, further highlighting the different way our sense of smell works with different formulas.

If you tend to warm the same types frequently (such as spice or cologne vs. fruity or floral) then you may become anosmic, meaning become somewhat immune to the scent. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong, defective or weak with the particular scent, it's just how your nose works with certain molecules.

If I really want a strong punch and a wow factor with strength then I need to melt something very different and on the opposite end of what I usually do.

Funny, the ones you mentioned are all my favorites. Hemingway & Luna would also fall into that group if you haven't tried those. Any with cinnamon are generally stronger, but I personally am not a big fan of cinnamon. Have fun picking! When are you joining? You should join first, then order them so you get the commission!

Yeap I would join and then order all your bricks before they are gone---have you first party be a brick party... I love love vanilla suede,,,,and am really thinking I better order a brick of Autumn Stroll before it goes bye bye. STRONG---i think Pima Cotton, Sticky Cin Buns, Sugar Cookie, and Christmas Cottage. Good luck and have fun.

One that I have noticed that lasts and lasts is Hendrix. It's not a strong one, but I can leave a cube going 24/7 in the bedroom, walk by and still smell it almost a week later. And yes Autumn Stroll is another long lasting scent.

Smile Strongest scents

Sometimes it is your nose that will determine this! My top two are Mochadoodle and the new scent of the month for May Cherry Vanilla! I put the Cherry Vanilla on and couldn't believe how much scent it puts out there. If you like clean scents, then Clean Breeze. A guy scent, My Dear Watson. A chick scent I love is Lucky in Love. Hope this helps!
