Frequently Asked Questions

Scentsy Fragrance
FAQ
Talkin Scents 101

 

 

 

• What is Scentsy Fragrance?

  Scentsy Fragrance is a Scentsy Family brand that offers a variety of home and personal fragrance products.

• What products does Scentsy Fragrance sell?

  Scentsy Fragrance offers a variety of home and personal fragrance products, including scented wickless candles and decorative ceramic warmers, which together provide a safer alternative to burning wicked candles.

• What are wickless candles?

  A wickless candle is a highly fragrant wax bar that is warmed to release fragrance into the air. Because the wax is gently warmed rather than burned, it can hold more fragrance oil than a traditional candle. And, because there is no flame, there is no smoke, soot, or lead. Scentsy wickless candles are a safer alternative to traditional candles.

• How is the wax warmed?

  Scentsy’s beautiful warmers house a low-watt light bulb that slowly melts the Scentsy candle bar, filling your home with one of more than 80 distinctive and long-lasting scents.
  The combination of a Scentsy warmer with a Scentsy Bar is known as a Scentsy System.

• Where are Scentsy products made?

  Scentsy’s wickless candles and home-fragrance products are made in Scentsy’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Meridian, Idaho. Our ceramic warmers are designed by Scentsy and made to our exact specifications by our manufacturing partner in China.

• Can I buy Scentsy in a retail location?

  No. Scentsy is a direct selling company with a sales force — known as Independent Scentsy Consultants — that sells our products through home parties, open houses, fairs and trade shows, and fundraisers. Scentsy products are perfect for sharing in a fun and friendly party environment!

• Does Scentsy have a catalog of products?

  Yes. Each year, Scentsy releases two new catalogs — one in March for the Spring/Summer season and one in September for the Fall/Winter season. Ask me for your own catalog, or view it online on my personal website

• How can I buy Scentsy products?

  To place an order or host a party, me personally. The best way to buy Scentsy is by hosting a party! When you host a party, you have a chance to experience and share over 80 unique fragrances and dozens of warmers, all while you have a great time with your friends and family! Hosting is easy, and the best part is you can earn free and half-price products while you’re having fun!

Industry with Heart - Direct Selling News

Scents with Sense: A Strong Commitment to Giving Back Provides a Culture of Sustainability
WRITTEN BY: Lin Grensing-Pophal

 

“Authenticity is very important. We are who we are, and we don’t try to be somebody we’re not.”
—Orville Thompson, Co-Owner and CEO 

 

Dear Scentsy Friends,

I came across an article online, and I have to say that I am overwhelmed with joy when I read such amazing things regarding a company that I have chosen to be a part of. I encourage you to read the article, and to read for yourself the true honesty and compassion that Heidi and Orville Thompson have. They know themselves how it feels to be down and out financially, and have created and set goals for this company to better not only their own family's lives, but for everyone around them as well. You can find the article if you go onto the Direct Selling News website and search Scents with Sense by Lin Grensing-Pophal.

I have to also say, that the announcement made by Heidi and Orville this past week regarding the discontinuation of Grace Adele was outstanding. Being a Grace Adele Independent Consultant as well, I was truly saddened by the news... However, it again, is not discouraging. From a business perspective, sometimes tough decisions must be made... and that's just life. I can see it in both Heidi and Orville the heartbreak that it has caused to even have to make such an altering decision. I believe 100% and stand behind their decision though. For those of you who are interested in watching the announcement, I encourage you to, look for it on YouTube... It will give you an inside look at our wonderful Owners..
 

I don't really know how many of you truly understand the lengths that this company goes to help teach, and encourage their employees at head office, as well as Independent Scentsy Family Consultants all over the world. This isn't all about earning an income (but don't get me wrong, that's amazing on its own) but this company has programs dedicated to those who are involved with the Scentsy family to help better their lives in many ways.

 

They have a 24/7 training center that can be accessed online at anytime from our Scentsy Workstation account - it has links, photos, slide shows, and personal stories from others that help encourage you to do your best.... and also HOW TO DO IT! My favourite part is the new "monthly theme" that they've introduced as well to the training center... it helps you focus on different areas of your business, and how to be successful.  

 

The best part is Scentsy Wellness... Which gives you access to fitness, nutrition, and general health information! They have challenges that you can sign up for, with rewards along the way. For example... the 100 mile challenge, which gives you a few months (leading up to Scentsy Family Reunion) to complete 100 miles (walking, running, whatever it may be)... once you complete you first 10 miles, they send you a bracelet... a little bit of encouragement to keep going! .

  

You see, the Scentsy Family is not all about making money.... Its about being part of a family. I have said it time and time again... some people laugh at me, and some people seem simply confused (especially those who have had negative experiences with other DS companies).... however, it's the truth, and that's my own personal opinion.

 

Scentsy has offered me the ability to be involved in something bigger than what I had anticipated... and although I'm just one of a million right now, that doesn't mean that what I have to offer, and what I have to share with those around me isn't important.

My voice may not be heard by the masses, but I refuse to let that discourage me.... I may not be a Scentsy Independent Director, or any of that.... I may not even have started a team yet... but that doesn't mean I'm not part of something bigger than what I can reach out and currently grasp. I know, in time, my perseverance will pay off... and the best part is... I don't feel as though I'm wasting my time.... Simply because, I really do love what I'm doing. And that alone, Scentsy friends, is enough for me.

 

EVEN WITH ALL OF THE FISH IN THE SEA #ICHOOSESCENTSY - Brittany Gerrity

Scentsy TAG

Hey Scentsy Friends!!

There have been videos flying around YouTube with an Independent Scentsy Consultant TAG

Although I haven't yet done my video version of this (soon to come I promise!) I thought I cold still share with you my answers to the TAG questions :) 

Oh and by the way, you might be thinking that this is probably going to take longer to type out than it would have been to just do a video in the first place... And you're probably right... Lol 

The reason that I am doing this version now is because my Scentsy office is in shambles at the moment... In the middle of redoing my Scentsy space ... So I don't have a good place to film it at the moment! NEW OFFICE ARRIVES TOMORROW .... YAYYYYY!!

Anyway getting on with it lol

Question 1: What's in your Scentsy warmers right now?

Answer: my bedroom has Zen Garden, my upstairs bathroom has Lilacs & Violets, my daughters room has Newborn Nursery, my kitchen has Mochadoodle, my dining room/where my office is going has Mystery Man, my living room also has Mystery Man, and my downstairs bathroom has Simply Irresistible

Question 2: What is your all time favourite scent?

Answer: Wow this is a tough one.... Off the bat I want to say blueberry cheesecake because that's the first scent I ever smelled warming, but I have to say that my favourite is probably Happy Go Lucky

Question 3: How many warmers do you have?

Answer: Well I guess question 1 kind of gives this away... But my personal warmers that I use at home, I have 7... To make this answer a little more interesting I will tell you which warmers I currently am using... My bedroom has the Black Zebra Element, my upstairs bathroom has the Taro plug in, my daughters room has the Cupcake, my kitchen has Natures Haven, my office/dining room has the sleek black warmer that I received at Spring Sprint with the 10 years frame, my living room has the lue chevron, and my downstairs bathroom has the whoot plug in 

Question 4: What type of scents do you prefer?

Answer: Hmmm... I can't say I'm overly picky, I like a lot of scents... But if I had to pick I would probably say clean/fresh smells. Now, with that said my opinion on clean and fresh changes lol

Question 5: How long have you been an Independent Scentsy Consultant? OR When did you first discover Scentsy?

Answer: I guess I could answer both of these questions .. I became an Independent Scentsy Consultant at the end of October 2013... But I first discovered Scentsy at the beginning of 2013 at my friends house (which is also where I first smelt blueberry cheesecake)

Question 6: What is the first fragrance you ever warmed?

Answer: The first fragrance I ever warmed was Welcome Home because that's what I was sent in my starter kit :)

Question 7: What is your favourite bath and body/ Layers product?

Answer: My favourite bath & body product would be my daily duo of Sunkissed Citrus shower gel and body lotion... But my favourite Layers product is the Washer Whiffs and Liquid Laundry :) especially in black raspberry vanilla 

Question 8: Do you coordinate according to season?

Answer: Yes and No.... I generally don't change all of my warmers... I might change the one in my office to something seasonal, but other than that my warmers are my warmers and they stay where the are lol ... As far as scents go though, I suppose I do change them according to season.... I guess that's mainly because Scentsy puts out seasonal scents (spring&summer or fall&winter) for their catalogue seasons. So I typically have in my home what is currently available in the catalogue :) right now I have more floral scents and fruity scents... And in the fall and winter I generally have the more cozy scents (cinnamon and pumpkin etc)

Question 9: What scent would you like Scentsy to come out with?

Answer: Hmmmmm... Another tough one... They have everything lol... But I guess something that smells like barbecue haha... I mean if they can duplicate the scent of a tomato vine, or burnt rubber km sure they can get my house smelling like barbecued ribs haha

Question 10: which scents do you want back for good?

Answer: Eucalyptus... Hands down. Love it and so does everyone else I know! 

And that, Scentsy Friends is then end of the Scentsy TAG!!

I hope you enjoyed and if you do the Scentsy TAG email me your answers! I'd love to hear them!!

Fragrance Friday

"By The Sea"

 

WELCOME TO FRAGRANCE FRIDAY!

 

Every week I choose a Scentsy Fragrance to honor and to give my own personal thoughts and opinions on. The scents I choose are at random, and are something that I have personally experienced myself at home or at the office.

 

This week, Friday, April 18, 2014 - GOOD FRIDAY - I have chosen one of the scents from the Spring & Summer 2014 collection.

 

"Remember the carefree days of summers past and create new, radiant memories"

 

THIS WEEKS CHOICE IS:

 

BY THE SEA

 

 

This scent is available in Bar, Room Spray, and Scent Circle

 

 

MY PERSONAL OPINION:

 

I do have to say that typically my first choice for Scents when reading descriptions is not to choose something that's "outdoorsy" ... Although, I'm not 100% sure why LOL. I do have to say, that I enjoy this scent a lot. Its a very relaxing smell in my opinion, which is probably why I like it so much. Its fresh and doesn't exactly smell like the ocean, but it does remind me of vacation, so that's definltey a good thing, RIGHT? lol

 

 

 

Anyway,

Thats all for now!

 

Love always,

Fragrance Friday

Fragrance Friday

 

This Friday, April 11, 2014 I have chosen a Scent that I am officially OBSESSED with! It totally screams SUMMER and perhaps a delicious summer DRINK that I cannot wait to enjoy by the pool!

 

 

CHERRY LIMEADE

 

 

 

"Zesty key lime, sweet cherry, and juicy berry:
a delicious scent reminiscent of a soda fountain drink."

 

 

 

Available In: SCENTSY BAR, ROOM SPRAY, SCENT CIRCLE, and SCENT PAK

 

  

My Scentsational Opinion:

This scent is perfect for the summer, its fruity and smells juicy, if that's even possible. Its not overly potent with the cherry, which is good for my tastes, because I'm not the Cherry's number one fan. But THIS... THIS is perfectly balanced with the lime and the berries! This scent seriously makes me thirsty!

 



How Long Does It Last?

How Long Does It Last?

 

The most frequently asked question I receive from customers (as well as newer consultants) is how long certain Scentsy Fragrance products last. I have come up with my own personal experience "rule-of-thumb" chart for the basics! :)

 



Fragrance Friday!

TGIF PEOPLE!!!

 

 

With the tease of warm weather we've had here, I am feeling like spring/summer is JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!

 

So, this week I tried out Pineapple Sorbet! and Oh Em Gee! LOVE THIS ONE!

 

 

 

 

Its: Sweet and tart, like a refreshing scoop of pineapple sorbet



April 2014

APRIL 2014

 

 

 

With all of the excitement the warmer weather and sunshine is bringing, I feel like the Warmer Of The Month and Scent Of The Month are PERFECT for April!

 

Scentsy, Inc has done an amazing job with choosing the perfect scents to introduce each month, and they certainly have not disappointed this girl this month!

 

Now, I have had my April Scent Of The Month since mid March, and have attempted to contain my excitement until now!

 

 

 

 

WARMER OF THE MONTH

10 % OFF RIGHT NOW

 

April 2014's warmer of the month is called "Cherry Tree"

 

 

 

"Simple and subdued, Cherry Tree awakens memories of
spring festivals while triggering the promise of new life."

 

 

SCENT OF THE MONTH

 

April 2014's Scent Of The Month is called "Sugared Blooms"

 

"Soft petals fresh with morning dew, sweet berries touched with a
kiss of sugar evoke springtime to brighten your day."

 

 

 

My Scent Opinion:

 

If you want my personal opinion of Sugared Blooms, I do have to say, for a person who isn't overly fond of floral smells, I do LOVE this one. I has a hint of floral, but I feel as though the combination of the scent of fresh berries somewhat brings that strong floral scent down a notch.

 

When I first get my Scent Of The Month package, I always smell the scent before I read it's description. The only way I could describe this Scent was "MMMM IT SMELLS LIKE SPRING".

 

My daughter thought I was a little crazy, being five years old, she can't quite wrap her mind around how a season has its own smell... haha. She said "Mommy.... spring is not a scent"... Oh man... so of course the Scentsy Lady in me sprung into the "Scents Evoke Memories" type of conversation, and in the end my daughter understood.

 

I may have taken us smelling EVERY tester I have in stock, but she eventually got the idea. She would smell scents like... French Lavender from our favourites collection, and she would say "This smells like nanny's bed" - which was the perfect way for me to describe how the memory of cuddling nanny in her bed was evoked by the scent.

 

Of course, my mom, aka "NANNY" uses the Scentsy Layers laundry aids in French Lavender haha.

 

 

Anyway Scentsy Friends, I think that's all for now!!

Remember to always stay tuned and check back for updates!

 

 

Look for me on Facebook!

SPRING!!

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!!

 

 



Yes... EVEN IN CANADA!!

I was so excited to wake up this morning and the temperature was +5 outside! Time for us Canadians to bust out our t-shirts and shorts! haha

All joking aside though, I am really excited to be able to be outside and not shiver my buns off! Although, that silly weather man I always talk about has called for "flurries" tomorrow.... ugh. Oh well! The majority of my 10ft tall snow bank at the end of my driveway has melted... its probably only about 4-1/2 ft tall now! Which means I can see traffic coming and its not like playing a driveway version of chicken every time you leave the house!

 

There are many things to look forward to with the warmer weather, including the SMELL OF SPRING! - Check Out My "APRIL 2014" Post for the Scent and Warmer of the month!! Its amazing, and just screams SPRING!!

 

SPRING BUNDLE
$60 VALUE FOR ONLY $36

 

I have to post about this, because not only is it totally adorable, but its a GREAT DEAL! I have had people asking me a lot about this package, and it has gone over very well!

 

Scentsy has put together a package for Spring, that is available only from March 20th to April 30th

 

 

Scentsy’s Spring Bundle includes:

 

1 Easter Egg Premium Scentsy Warmer
1 Jumpin’ Jelly Bean Scentsy Bar,
1 French Lavender Scentsy Bar
and 1 Coconut Lemongrass Scentsy Bar.
