Looking for something send in a care package to your favorite college student?

Whether they admit it or not, whether staying in a dorm or sharing a house or apartment with others, university students love to get mail from loved ones.

Here are some college care package ideas for what to send your young adult –

Electric candle warmers and essential oil diffusers. Where the open flame of a wicked candle is not permitted, wickless candles and cold mist water fragrance diffusers can leave living and study spaces smelling inviting. Available in multiple sizes and decors, including NCAA schools in our campus collegiate collection.

Concentrated room spray. Bathrooms, dorms, cars – any place that could use a breath of fresh air.

Scent paks. These beanbags filled with scent are great to stash in closets, under the seat of a car, behind a desk and in dresser drawers. [Read more…] about College Care Package Ideas

Can’t Smell Candles Anymore?

24 July 2016 By LA Leave a Comment

Can’t smell your Scentsy candles anymore? Here’s why –

Having been in the candle industry for over 20 years, I sometimes hear how customers claim they can’t smell the candles and blame it on the company changing their formula.

Basset hounds have over 220 million smell receptors, and the portion of their brains tied to sense of smell is 40 times that of a human’s. Don’t you wish you were a basset hound?

The short answer to why you can’t smell Scentsy candles is that it’s your nose; not Scentsy.

What?! How Dare You Suggest It’s My Nose!

The scientific and technical explanation of why this is true can be found here. It’s called Anosmia or Olfactive Fatigue.

In layman’s, LA terms – it works like this: your nose gets used to or immune to certain components of your favorite candles. If you tend to warm the same type, such as spice/cinnamon scented candles frequently, it’s possible they will seem not as strong to you or you may even think they forgot to put the fragrance oil in them.

However, instead of spice, if you warm a floral or clean type scent or one you don’t particularly care for, you’ll definitely smell that one. It’s because your nose hasn’t become “nose blind” to those fragrance notes.

I know, I know some refuse to believe that. It tends to happen more often at the change of seasons. I hear about it year after year.

My Nose Quit Me Too

Consider this: I’ve been in the candle industry since 1995. I’ve been home based since 1999. I warm candles 365/24/7 unless I’m in a travel status. My favorite scents tend to be male cologne and warm fall scents. I warm them all year. [Read more…] about Can’t Smell Candles Anymore?

Amber Candle Scents

Do you like candles scented with amber? Maybe you do, but didn’t realize it had that scent in it. I tend to gravitate toward similar cologne type scents and many that are my favorites just happen to have amber in them.

Here are some of the Scentsy candle bars we currently have that contain amber. Those scents that will be discontinuing on 1 September 2016 are annotated with an asterisk *

*Blond Wood & Moonflower – Pale, warm wood and amber envelop demure moonflower, delicate white roses and upturned lilies in a modern, magical fragrance.

Dark Harbor – A romantic, exotic fragrance of kaffir lime and blue-green mint with notes of watery ocean lavender and mysterious amber.

Highway Run – Toss the map and go where the wind takes you as crisp, adventurous notes of eucalyptus bud, cedar, amber and vetiver grass lead the way.

*My Only Sunshine – Start your day with a smile as you experience golden tuberose and jasmine balanced by sandalwood, vanilla and glowing amber.

*Mountain Sky – Take a meadow stroll amidst fresh air redolent with a dash of citrus, while white woods and amber lend warm, exquisite undertones.

Mystic Magnolia – Southern charm in a fragrance: pure-white magnolias with flirty green leaves and sultry notes of rosewood and amber.

Newborn Nursery – Fresh, clean, and powdery, this dreamy scent evokes memories of cradling your little ones.

Sea Salt Mist – Conjure a gentle tide lapping against driftwood, a rustle of beach grass, a spray of ocean mist and sea salt with bright mandarin and sultry amber.

*Sea, Sun & Fun – Summer fun! A splash of salt water, an orange twist, scattered lily petals and rays of sunny amber.

Summer Holiday – Steal away to a sunny isle bursting with lush plumeria, tiger lily and sweet orange softened by vanilla and radiant amber.

Vanilla Suede – Classic vanilla with rich amber and hints of sandalwood and spice — a subtly masculine fragrance.
