About Us
The basis for Scentsy’s business philosophy comes from a quote by Albert Einstein—a quote that so inspired Orville Thompson as a young man he kept it posted on his bedroom wall:
Try not to become a man of success. Rather, become a man of value. A successful man takes out of life more than he puts in. A man of value will give more than he receives.
When they launched Scentsy, the Thompsons determined from the beginning to build their business around core values of simplicity, authenticity, and generosity. Those key values extend to everything we do, from developing fragrances to designing warmers to shipping orders.
Read on to discover how our values make a difference.
Orville Thompson’s entrepreneurial spirit emerged long before he and his wife Heidi launched Scentsy on July 1, 2004.
In 1979, 10-year-old Orville approached his father about purchasing a flock of sheep from a neighbor, who was offering to accept half of the following year’s lambs as payment. Orville agreed to sell his horse to pay for feed. Orville’s father agreed—believing he was raising a son rather than sheep by allowing Orville to take on this huge responsibility.
Over the next several years, Orville turned his flock from a collection of crossbreeds into a purebred flock. He earned money selling sheep at auctions and to other young people who would raise and show sheep through programs like 4H. By the time he graduated from high school, Orville had $14,000 in the bank.
In 1990, Orville married Heidi Braucht. The young couple moved to Seattle, Washington where Orville was studying at the University of Washington.
Following his graduation in 1992 with a B.A. in History and a strong interest in international trade, Orville worked in international shipping, where he further honed his entrepreneurial acumen and business skills—but for very little income.
