Scents of Glow Retailer's Buying Guide: What to Stock First

Scents of Glow Retailer's Buying Guide: What to Stock First

Not sure which products to start with? This guide gives boutiques and gift shops ready-made starter bundles of Scents of Glow flameless home fragrance — each built to clear our $100 wholesale minimum with a balanced, sellable mix. Wholesale is 50% off retail, so every bundle below roughly doubles at retail.

You can order in quantities of one and mix scents freely, so treat these as starting points and adjust to your shop.

Start with our best-selling scents

When you pick scents for any bundle below, our top sellers are the lowest-risk bets: Vanilla, Vanilla Orchid, Ambered Vanilla, Apple Harvest, Beachwood, Fresh Cedarwood, Rose Petals, Orange Blossom, Lavender, Eucalyptus, and Cherry Blossom.

One thing to know before you order: not every scent can be blended into the reed diffuser base. Reed diffusers are available in Vanilla, Ambered Vanilla, Rose Petals, Gardenia, Orange Blossom, Lavender, Eucalyptus & Bergamot, Lemongrass & Lime, Sea Minerals, Azure Coast, Sunwashed, Cucumber Water & Melon, Himalayan Bamboo, Black Cherry, Tropical Pineapple, and Campfire Marshmallow. Everything else in the range — including Apple Harvest, Beachwood, Fresh Cedarwood, Vanilla Orchid, and Cherry Blossom — is available in wax melts, sprays, sachets, and car fresheners.
