Two remarkable sister-in-laws combined their efforts to create a unique product which resulted in the formation of Scentsy in 2003. 

Orville Thompson met these two at a home show in Salt Lake City in 2004 where they were each participating vendors.  When Orville saw the candles made by this tiny Utah company, he immediately knew they had huge potential.

Sensing that there was something special about the wickless concept, he brought home a handful of testers to share with his wife, Heidi, and a few other family members.  He left them with the testers and came back some time later to find them still sitting together smelling the testers, laughing and sharing memories. 

Orville was intrigued by how smelling different scents brought powerful emotions and memories to the surface, and how natural it was to share those feelings and memories with others. 

Orville and Heidi purchased Scentsy shortly thereafter, and moved the company to their home in Meridian, Idaho.  Scentsy's first home was literally no more than a metal box on the Thompson sheep farm.  It was during that first year that Orville and Heidi decided direct selling and Party Plan would be used to market and sell the products.  On July 1, 2004 Scentsy signed its first consultant and officially became a Party Plan company.

With Orville’s direction and business experience, Scentsy has continued to grow, at a phenomenal rate… breaking records and setting the pace for the candle industry. What began in 2004 as a simple idea has truly grown into something extraordinary!
