Growing up, myย mom always asked me to get our a home smelling nice. So I went toย our local store and bought 10 plug-ins to scatter all aroundย theย house.

But after just three weeks, I found myself back at the store buying refills for them all. And let me tell you, unboxing and replacing all of thoseย refills every 3 weeks wasย annoying...

As I continued doing this week after week, itย had me thinking:ย "What if we had a single device that distributed scent using our central A/C." With that idea, the Scently journey began.

With no prior experience developing a consumer product, I spent over a yearย working with and learning from chemists, engineers, manufacturers, and quality control experts.
โ€Žย 
To prove my idea was possible, Iย spent my time disassembling other existing productsย to useย their partsย forย my first MVP (minimum viable product).
Onceย I had a workingย prototype,ย Iย was off to the races. Within a matter of monthsย Iย was working directly with a factory to get the final product design on the assembly line.
โ€Žย 
Creating a productย from scratch always has challenges, but thankfully I met one of the most amazing quality control people on the planet, Tony!

Tony helped smooth outย all the bumps along the way and ensured the finished productย came out as planned. Without him, I'm not sure you'd be here reading this...

Once production finished, it was loaded onto a huuuge cargo ship. We waitedย the longest 40 days of our lives forย it to arrive in Miami and finally welcomedย The Rocket to our family. It was worth the wait :)

We unloaded the truck andย shipped out ourย first pre-order. And just like that, Scently was in business!

-------

Asย I'm writing this, we're seeing orders come through daily! I'm so appreciative of the early support and encourage you to give The Rocket a try.ย

I intend on updating this page as our journey continues.

To inspire others who are on the challenging business journey and to update you with Scently's latest big news.

Cheers!
