Scentsy Go Pods Portable Fragrance System – Review
I have long loved candles and I’ve had a diffuser around the home for the past couple of years. However, I am always interested in trying new home fragrance products and when I heard about Scentsy Go and Scentsy pods I knew it was worth a try.
However what I didn’t expect was how much I would like it. I’m completely in love with inspiring fragrances they provide and the system itself.
What is the Scentsy Go?
If you are yet to hear about Scentsy Go, which is released today(!) then let me tell you a little about it. Perhaps a first of its kind, Scentsy Go is a portable fragrance device that is small enough to fit in the drinks holder of your car, while big enough to pack a powerful punch.
Running on battery power the Scentsy Go is a fan diffuser which has a completely rechargeable internal lithium battery. The battery is charged via the included USB cord and offers up to 40 hours of fragrance and light per charge.
What’s more, there is no heat let off from this device, making it friendly for those with young children or mischievous pets.
How does the Scentsy Go work?
Set up is simple; you twist open the cover on top of the container and pop in one or two Scentsy Pods (each pack includes two scent pods) in the fragrance of your choice. Choose from a wide range of fragrances including vanilla bean, Amazon Rain and Baked Apple Pie.
Press and hold the top button to turn on the fan, until the indicator light switches on and the fragrance begins to be released. It is worth noting a second press once on will turn on eco mode, which intermittently turns the system on and off, releasing the perfect amount of fragrance.
The air flows through the Scentsy pods and the pods release the perfect fragrance thanks to the beads in the pods.
The light button is located under the power button, one press of this will turn the light on to the seven-colour light LED rotation. If you press this button again you can pick and choose which colour you would device to stay on.
What did I think of the Scentsy Go?
I honestly am so impressed, I had some Scentsy sent over from the US many years ago and hadn’t realised it had made its way to the UK with quite such force.
I actually popped up a post on Facebook and asked if anyone knew of any Scentsy consultants, after I’d read quite a few Scentsy reviews, and was directed towards Tina of MotherGeek, who has kindly taken me under her wing and let me buy lots more Scentsy.
Alongside the Scentsy Go I was sent the pods in Luna, which offers a mix of white florals, including jasmine, sweet pea and freesia, alongside juicy berries and sandalwood. I think these are my favourite Scentsy fragrances so far.
I’m going to be honest, at first I wasn’t sure what to think of this scent, I found it quite sweet and overpowering, however, I had put two pods in and so I took one out and it really made a difference. Two pods increase the fragrance strength for larger spaces.
The bungalow we live in is quite small and the two pods together were obviously overwhelming for the space we have, as soon as I switched to one I felt like I had a different fragrance filling the room, an uplifting fragrance experience that I really loved.
So I definitely suggest playing around with the number of pods you use, to see what works best for your space and to get the perfect amount of scent.
Overall I am loving my Scentsy Go system, I cannot wait to order some more pods later in different fragrances. At the moment there are 11 different fragrance pods to choose from, with each set of 2 pods costing £12.99. Pods provide up to 120 hours of fragrance and are filled with no spill fragrance beads.
How can I buy the Scentsy Go and Scentsy pods?
If you fancy buying the Scentsy Go for yourself (I know I’ll be buying some more as gifts) they are available to buy NOW, cost £61 and come in a choice of gold, rose gold or silver resin band. Scentsy bars are also available to buy with warmers – just pop a cube or two in the warmer to fill your space with long lasting fragrance.
The Scentsy Go pack includes two pods and is the ultimate in wax free scent!
Share the Scentsy love! You can find out more about the Scentsy Go on the website as well.
I received the products mentioned in this post free of charge, however, all opinions and thoughts are my own.
Pin it!
Wow, this is so nice. I love the idea that it is something you can use anywhere and even easily take away with you. Will be checking out their site to see the other variants too.
They have some awesome pods to put in I have a range coming and can’t wait to try the different ones.
I’ve heard a bit about these it certainly would be amazing to have one
They really are good, I certainly recommend giving one a go if you can.
I like the idea of this product going portable.. will have to look into it!
It really is fantastic, honestly, I would recommend it to everyone and will definitely be buying it as presents.
This would be nice to have around the house. I think it would make a nice gift for my sister too. She loves stuff like this. Thanks for letting me know about Scentsy.
It is a nice thing to have around the home for sure it smells amazing as well.
Oh. I am really really impressed. It is such an amazing gift. I will give it to my friend as a birthday gift.
It is such a great item and most definitely would be wonderful to give as a present for a friend 🙂
I sincerely never heard of these before. What a shame! I only knew about the fragrant candles which are so not convenient sometime. I myself find peace in fragrant which I like, therefore I have always dream of carry the smell with me everywhere I go. It is quite possible now with this so I will definitely check it out.
This is brand new out and I can’t wait to see the different fragrances they bring out to go with it.
I love this fragrance system. It looks so chic and I love the LED lights. Thanks for sharing.
It is beautiful isn’t it – I hope you love it if you do decide to get one 🙂
Ha. I have heard about it as I first discovered it on your instagram feed!!!! This sounds great and the pods are really well priced.
It is awesome isn’t it – I love that new people are finding it most definitely a must try I think
this looks amazing – I love it! x
It is absolutely amazing – I will definitely be buying it as a gift.
I had never heard of these but they look amazing and I will definitely look into getting one when I have some money as I love candles and diffusers so I am sure I will love this too!
Honestly, it is well worth it, yes there is the outlay to start with but £12 for 120 hours is a real bargain.
It is a shame your right nothing lasts forever 🙁
I”ve heard of the scentsy scents for years now but have yet to try it. I love that this is a diffuser which I absolutely love. I’ll need to check this one out…i have friends who rave about the scentsy scents.
It is definitely worth checking out – it is so different to other home fragrance idea I have tried before.
I absolutely LOVE Scentsy {even if they are a little expensive} but my love of candles and delicious smells are just too good to not buy! These look great!
They are a little expensive but I think especially with these pods the amount of fragrance time you get makes it much cheaper in the long run. x
I’ve never heard of scentsy. Thanks for introducing me to it. I fell like everyone needs a bit of fragrance. Awesome!
They really do it makes such a difference to your mood I think. I love having something on of an evening.
That is so cool! I really need to get one for my car. It’s 14 years old and definitely smells like it, lol! Scentsy makes such neat stuff.
Haha I know the feeling with that one, my cars around the same. They really do make some interesting bits.
I’ve never heard of this Scentsy Go Portable Fragrance System device before but I must say it sounds like a cool product. If I ever get one of these, I’d totally go for the Scentsy Pods that has a vanilla smell.
There is a real range of different scents, I have a few coming my way and I can’t wait to try them now.
Not heard of Scentsy before, but I love the concept and I think it looks stylish too!
They are well worth looking into it if you like home fragrance.
I’ve heard about these a little here and there but never really understood it until now. Great review! looks like a great gift for a few people I know ; )
Aww so pleased I helped you understand what they are about a bit more. I think I’m going to be getting some for people as a gift.
I have heard really great things about scentsy. I love that this is portable. I am thinking about getting one now.
I have to admit I’ve only ever heard good things in general (bar some people not liking certain scents, which is going to happen) I definitely do suggest them, I’ve had mine on daily.
oh, wow! That’s really neat. I want one! Thanks for sharing!
I really do suggest them, they are a great home fragrance idea.
These look brilliant
Okay you’ve got be obsessed! These look amazing. I think I may have to save up and purchase one for my sister for Christmas.
Oh definitely I totally suggest it honestly I’ve been running mine nightly it is fab!
I had no idea they had a portable system now. I have a friend who loves this stuff!
It is brand new so you could tell her all about it and she might be dead impressed 😉
This looks really good, I love that it’s portable so you can take it anywhere and enjoy your scent wherever you are. I really like the light changing option too
It is such a relaxing thing to have on with the lights and scent going.
That’s such a good idea, I love having fragrances and pretty smells in my flat and you can’t have candles on all the time x
I totally agree, I have to admit in warmer months I don’t really light candles at all so it is great to have an alternative to use.
