OT: Has anyone used the Bath & Body Works Scentportables?

[disneysnowflake]

I have a gift certificate from Bath and Body Works. I'm looking online and see the fall scents . I was thinking of getting some Scentportables, but I never tried them.

Does the scent last long? For $3 each I was hoping they did.

I thought maybe someone here has used them.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I got several of the sweet pea ones for my car. They smell so good, but I only notice it for about a week and that's it. I see that there is still liquid left but just can't smell it anymore.

I bought one during semi annual sale and D/t multiple issues with my car Dh "borrowed" mine and has it in his now I can still smell it if car has been closed up for couple hours, I personally bought him one so I can "steal" mine back. I bought his and refills online and got Apple one and cinnimon ones. I wish I could find some more Summery scents though.

I have one in my car, I love it. I have the holder on my visor and I can smell it for quite some time.

Where mine is also.

I have quite a lot of these because I buy them when they're on sale typically. I love them! I keep one on my visor in my car all the time. The one I have now is a fall scent (not sure of the actual name), but it's been on my visor since last October and still puts the scent off. Most of mine have lasted a very long time, but maybe I've just gotten lucky.

I have *2* in my car - one on each visor, and I could smell them really well for like a week and now - nothing.

I think a lot of it depends on the size of the vehicle and the scent.

My husband has a Kia Spectra - a little 2 door sedan. He has the Fresh Linen scent in his car, has had it in there for well over 6 months and it's still very noticeable. He only has the one on his passenger visor.

I have a Honda Odyssey. I have one on my passenger visor also. I vary my scents and can't stand the one he has. I tend towards, Vanilla, coconut, a few fall scents. Typically they are noticeable for a week maximum unless the van is shut up in extreme heat for an extended period of time (like in an amusement park's parking lot and the sun is directly on my windshield. Then I get a faint whiff again. BUT - if any of the passengers in my vehicle decide to add their own personal scent or there is a noxious gym bag, wet dog or other smelly article riding with us, I can grab the scent portable and clip it on my seat belt and it's still strong until the oil is completely evaporated.

So I'm thinking of getting at least one, maybe two more for my van. The van doesn't typically smell bad, I'd just rather it smell good (and not over powering)

I may have to try those. We've tried the ones from Scentsy and the travel tins too....they last about a week and then nothing I think it is because our vehicles are so large (Suburban and full size van) and the scents just don't last long in a larger car, especially in this heat.

I had one in a container on my desk and it still smells....after a year. So maybe if I drove a smaller car LOL

I got my son one for his locker since the gym shoes stay there when not being worn. I thought maybe it would helpthe locker not smell like shoes lol...

 

[eyes4eeyore]

I'm disappointed in mine. A week is all the longer it lasted. I do have a van though, so maybe it does have to do with the size of the vehicle. But still, very disappointing.

 

[LilMommyBug]

Yeah, I have a Honda Odyssey too - so the size of the vehicle may be my problem. My husband has an Accord - and he has one in his and his stays pretty strong.

 

[pixiewings71]

Well, I have a minivan too (Dodge Grand Caravan) and I still smell mine, I switched it out in March or April......

 

[TheRatPack]

Hmmm, so the vehicle size theory may have a little weight behind it LOL

Maybe I'll try putting one in the back of our Suburban, another under the center seat and then one in the front. That might be a little too strong the first week though LOL
