MERIDIAN, Idaho, USA (May 31, 2011) – Scentsy, Inc., the fastest growing consumer products company in the United States last year according  to Inc. Magazine, announced it has enrolled 180 Independent Consultants in Europe and sold more than $100,000 in products. The home fragrance company began offering its business opportunity and products in the United Kingdom and Germany last month and is already growing at a faster rate in Europe than it grew in its entire first year of operations in the U.S.

Scentsy’s flagship product is a scented, wickless candle heated in a decorative ceramic warmer. The company’s wickless candles provide all the benefits of a traditional candle without the risks of flame, soot, or smoke. Products range in price from £5 (€6) for a bar of fragrant wax to £30 (€35) for a full-size Scentsy warmer (VAT inclusive). Scentsy also offers free shipping on all party orders of £150 (€175) or more.
Scentsy products are sold through a party plan method by a network of Independent Consultants. The company manufactures its fragrant wax bars in France and distributes product from a facility in Poland to its European customers.  Additionally, Scentsy has trained staff in Europe to answer Consultant and customer questions in English and German.  The company plans to expand into more European countries by the end of 2011.
“This positive response to Scentsy leads us to believe our products will be as popular in Europe as in North America,” said Orville Thompson, Scentsy’s CEO and co-owner. Scentsy President Heidi Thompson said, “As Europeans are introduced to Scentsy, we are confident they will find our products an elegant way to have fragrance in their home without the risks of flame candles.”
Scentsy employs 800 people and had revenues of $380 million in 2010. It was recently ranked number 33 in the Direct Selling Industry’s 2011 list of top 100 global direct selling companies.  In addition to its newly enrolled Consultants in the United Kingdom and Germany, Scentsy has more than 110,000 Independent Consultants in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and Canada.
