Both American companies, Bath & Body Works<\/a> was founded in Ohio, a midwestern state, in 1990 while Scentsy<\/a> is headquartered in Idaho, a mountain state, and was founded in 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BBW is now a publicly traded company that’s no longer run by the founder, but is still partially owned by the family. Scentsy is a family owned and run company. Although Scentsy is privately owned, the company has still grown exponentially and is steadily spreading throughout Europe and beyond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Growth patterns vary by company and the manner in which their products are sold to customers is also different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bath & Body Works (BBW) has retail locations around the globe, selling directly to customers in stores and online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Scentsy sells its products to customers through independent consultants. <\/strong>More recently, customers also have access to Scentsy products through their website without the need for a consultant. But the Scentsy business model leans heavily towards multi-level marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company releases two product catalogs each year – one in spring and one in fall. A special catalog is released around the holidays as well. Catalogs are shared with customers and then customers place orders through their consultant. Consultants earn a percentage<\/a> of their sales and the sales of individuals they recruited to their team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both companies manufacture their wax products in the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are examples of the wickless wax products offered by each company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n BBW wax melts break into four pieces so that you can melt them individually or use multiple sections at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Black Cherry Merlot<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is one of BBW customers\u2019 favorite scents, which smells like black cherries, raspberries, plums, and of course rich, silky red wine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sticking with the fruit theme, there are two additional scents you might like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Island Margarita<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a mouth-watering tropical fragrance that smells like fresh mango, plum, and mandarins sprinkled in sea salt. It\u2019s not your typical citrusy margarita fragrance and at times has a leaf-like scent to it. An interesting fragrance, it just doesn\u2019t meet expectations for when you hear the word, margarita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watermelon Lemonade<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to sweet watermelon and citrusy lemons and mandarins, you will smell hints of poppies and lily-of-the-valley wildflowers. Its base notes are soft hints of musk and cedar. This is definitely more complex than your typical glass of lemonade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While you can still find BBW fragrance melts in places here and there online, the company discontinued them a couple years ago. So when you do come across them online, you are purchasing a rare item that will soon no longer exist. Because it\u2019s a discontinued product, you\u2019ll also find that the asking prices are higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each pack has 0.97 oz (27.5 g) of wax.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Divided into eight sections instead of four, Scentsy wax bars are more than twice as large as the BBW melts, at 2.6 oz (74g) per bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each of these examples are three packs. You\u2019ll receive three bars for a total of 7.8 oz (222 g).<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of my favorite fruity scents is Lemon Verbena<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This bar has the citrus fragrance you might have expected in BBW\u2019s Island Margarita wax melts. Scentsy\u2019s Lemon Verbena is a sweet combination of lemon zest, kaffir lime, and verbena leaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another nice fruity and sweet scent is Blueberry Cheesecake<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This fragrance reminds me of those tall, thick slices of velvety cheesecake on a graham cracker crust with rows and rows of fresh blueberries on top. It\u2019s a nice comfy home scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The last one I\u2019ll share is Coconut Lemongrass<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tropical creamy coconut balanced with crisp lemongrass. It\u2019s a fresh scent that will make your home feel like an island oasis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s possible that Bath & Body Works discontinued their fragrance melts due to lack of customer interest. They were more expensive than many brands on the market, but their bars are made with half the amount of wax as other companies, and they are not as fragrant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is how BBW and Scentsy bars look side by side:<\/p>\n\n\n\nSelling Wickless Wax to Customers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
