Scentchips is a family owned and operated business that started in San Antonio, Texas in 1979. Scentchips was the original fragrance melt creator and revolutionized the home fragrance industry . In 2001, Scentchips opened a second retail store in Dayton, Ohio and now has over 25 locations spanning the United States and Australia with distributors in many countries around the world.
The Main Benefits of Scentchips
One benefit to using Scentchips is all melts are handmade in Texas. All the melts have a high scent throw when warmed in a fragrance warmer, due to their high concentration of fragrance to wax. The fragrance can last over 100 hours! They also can be used as potpourri (unheated). So you can throw a sachet of the chips in your car, gym bag, closet, dresser drawer and enjoy the scent for up to 5 years!
Another great benefit to Scentchips is they allow you to mix and match scents to create your own blend. Do you like to mix your fruit with your florals? Or your musky scents with your woodsy scents? With Scentchips the possibilities are endless! If you are lucky enough to live near one of their stores, you can smell them before buying and put together your own box of scents (Click here for the store locater).
The Practical Details of Scentchips
Scentchips has over 80 single scents and 150 scent blends to choose from, as well as fragrance warmers and accessories. A 6oz box of chips provides enough fragrance to last 140 hours, while covering up to 3000 sq ft.
To get the most fragrance from your Scentchips, you should use an electric or tealight warmer. If you chose to use them as potpourri, make sure to keep them out of direct sunlight, otherwise you might have a nice melty (although fragrant) mess on your hands! Keep this in mind, if you use them in your car and place them in a cool area (e.g. under the seat and in a little tray).
My Scentchips Experience
I got the holiday Christmas Cottage warmer, which is normally $28, but is on sale for $23.80 right now! I also got the Pumpkin Roasted Marshmallow scent blend. This is a blend of Fireside, Pumpkin, and Vanilla Icing. When I got my package in the mail it was well-packaged. I immediately could smell the fragrance chips, upon opening the box. They are not kidding when they say they have a high concentration of fragrance. I was a little worried that this would be overbearing when it started melting. Thankfully it was not! It easily filled a 500 sq foot room. In fact, after about 30 minutes after it was turned on, the scent had drifted all the way downstairs!
I let it burn for a couple hours the first few times. Each time the scent throw was really good and numerous people visiting commented about how much they liked the scent.

My favorite Christmas tradition is the making of our gingerbread houses. We all meet at my moms house and each of us gets a gingerbread house, then we all decorate to our hearts content. It is such fun.
I try to always be aware of ways that i can help out. I live in a very rural area, and don’t leave the house often so I don’t have a lot of interaction with people. I vow to look for ways to help others and Pay it forward. I have been blessed time and time again by people, and I hope that I can offer the same. On Wednesday I have a doctor appointment and I always get a Starbuck’s Coffee. I will buy a drink for the person behind me to start.
One of my favorite holiday traditions is the family buys the kids all gifts but for the adults we buy one gift and on the day of Christmas we place the gift in a basket and then pull a number. The Number 1 gets to pick a gift first and so on. Most the time the gifts are gag gifts. It is so much fun, easier on the wallet, everyone gets a gift and the kids are more likely to get more the one gift for each person.
we love to bake together
My favorite holiday tradition has always been secret santa, exchange gifts, pot luck dinners with family’s, etc. Times have changed now though.
To pay it forward I have been donating really nice clothing to different charities and non-perishable items of food.
my favorite family traditon is baking with my mom
RE: OMG, my fave tradition is roast mellows by camp fire. Wow, prize $40 gc is fab. & splendid. 2 fingers snap. It is tight, fly & off the chain. Thank you for the awesomeness, the contest, and generosity. Pick me
My favorite holiday tradition is simply getting together with the family. It’s nice to be able to catch up with people I haven’t seen in a while.
My husband and I try to pay it forward whenever we see an opportunity. I’m sure we will give some cash to the next down and out soul we see asking for it.
My kids pick something from their childhood and give it to each other for christmas. Like one year my daughter bought my sons all adult size feet pajamas! They wore them all day.Another year my one son bought my daughter a box of New Kids on the Block pins. Its funny to see what they come up with!
