Scentsy products are wick-free scented candles, so safe for family life. They are also absolutely gorgeous! We meet Local Mums’ consultant Duska Durban to find out more…
For many mums the days of lighting scented candles and relaxing are over once their little ones arrive. Mums often worry about the smoke, hot wax, nasty chemicals and fire risk of scented candles, which are often expensive too.
However, if you love candles and home fragrance and wish there was a way you could combine them with family life, Scentsy could be the answer.
Simple solution
Scentsy products began with a really simple idea - a safe, wickless alternative to scented candles - and quickly grew into one of the most successful direct selling companies in the world.
Local Mum Duska Durban is our local consultant for Scentsy and is thrilled to be able to offer their gorgeous products to Local Mums. “Scentsy products are really great for anyone that likes scented candles and home fragrance,” says Duska. “They are safer and healthier then standard candles as there is no flame, no smoke or soot or nasty chemicals in the air.”
Sumptuous sidetrack
As a mum of two young children (Luka, five, who is in Reception at The Avenue, and Martha, three) Duska found the opportunity to work round her children, selling products that she loves, was a brilliant solution. “I came across it while looking for a party entertainer for my son's birthday (it's just too easy to get sidetracked online! ) and was instantly intrigued,” explains Duska.
“I haven't worked since I had my son but now that they are bigger I felt I needed something to do,” says Duska. “I fell in love with Scentsy as it's so simple yet very effective, reasonably priced and very decorative.”
“I always loved scented candles,” continues Duska. “But have also always been concerned about their safety. Open flame and the smoke and soot are a big worry especially with small children in the house.”
“Another issue with conventional candles is the cost,” adds Duska. “Let's face it, a decent scented candle that will fragrance a room costs much more then £5. On the other hand a £5 bar of Scentsy wax will fragrance a room and lasts over a month, according to my customers.”
Privately owned
“I like the fact that Scentsy is run and privately owned by husband and wife team who really care,” explains Duska. “As a consultant you can see that. There is always someone there to help and your views are listened to and taken into consideration.”
Another the factor that appealed to Duska was that the company is so successful in the US but very new to the UK. The market is far from saturated and room for growth is considerable. Scentsy products are of a high quality and you can't find them on the high street.
“I love the fact I decide my own hours,” says Duska. “So I can always be there for my family, and that I can decide how to sell it (parties, markets, fairs, online). And of course I love that my house and my car smell gorgeous all the time !”
“Martha loves helping me sort out orders and smelling waxes,” adds Duska. “I love how she decides what each wax smells of and very often it reminds her of people. That's what scents do, awaken a memory.”
So how does Scentsy work?
Scentsy system is very simple. Plug your warmer in, place one or two cubes of wax in the small dish on top and that's it. After a few minutes the heat will start to melt the wax and the fragrance will be released.
Wax never gets too hot so there is no danger of getting burnt which makes it safe around kids and pets. High quality ceramic Scentsy warmers come in over 50 different styles (and a three year warranty) and there are 80 gorgeous fragrances to choose from.
