Scentsy began with the idea to create a wickless alternative to scented candles. Unique Scentsy Warmers use a low-watt bulb to warm specially formulated wax slowly, maximizing fragrance time. With NO FLAME, NO SOOT, or wick, the Scentsy wickless candle system is a safe way to enjoy more than 80 Scentsy fragrances. Scentsy quickly grew into one of the most successful direct selling companies in the industry. Scentsy was born in 2003. Since then, the company has enjoyed an average annual growth rate of over 300%. In June 2009 Scentsy was honored with the DSA's first-ever Rising Star Award for its remarkable growth and commitment to ethical business practices.
