We are located at 303 Prince Street in downtown Beckley next to the post office and near the courthouse. Our hours of operation are Tuesday-Friday from noon to 5pm and Saturdays from noon-4pm. We sometimes stay open later if there's an event in town. Please check our Facebook or Google page for updates.
Back in Canyon, Texas in early 2018, we realized we weren't happy with the “name brand” auto air fresheners we were selling at our car wash. The fragrance smelled like chemicals, the scents didn't last long, and they honestly weren't good overall. When the price of those air fresheners went up in cost, we knew it was time to think outside of the box...so we created our own air freshener.
We wanted something that not only smelled better but something that was better for people and the environment as well. So we started with biodegradable materials and premium ingredients. The rest is history...
Late 2021, we moved operations from Texas and relocated to Beckley, West Virginia with big plans for the future of Scentister. Not only have we expanded our product and scent line, we also opened our very first Scentister brick-and-mortar storefront in June of 2023! (Located at 303 Prince Street.)
If you're in the downtown Beckley area, you'll soon find out that Prince Street is the best-smelling street around. That's because we hand-pour our scented products in our shop almost daily--always in small batches and always with the best ingredients. One thing is certain with Scentister: you can be sure you're getting a safe, top-of-the-line product each time you shop with us. We guarantee it.
Although our business has evolved tremendously, our commitment to quality has not. Thanks to our amazing customers, there are countless Scentister products throughout the United States and beyond!
YES! It's guaranteed to work or your money back. Don't take our word for it--look at our reviews!
Formulated and handmade right here in our shop in downtown Beckley, our all-natural deodorant and luxury deodorant harness the goodness of the most powerful ingredients to fight off the evil funk with absolutely no harmful chemicals whatsoever. Even the fragrances used in our all-natural collection are certified organic and made from actual fragrance compounds found in nature. So kick those demonic odors back to the pits from whence they came!
What's in our formulation and WHY is the specific ingredient in our deodorant? Be prepared: it's a long but good read. Let's explore...
1.) ORGANIC UNREFINED, COLD-PRESSED, EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL acts as a natural antiseptic and anti-fungal, helping to limit the amount of microbes on the skin and combat odor-causing bacteria. Furthermore, coconut oil's moisturizing properties can soothe and nourish the underarm area.
2.) ORGANIC ARROWROOT POWDER effectively absorbs sweat, keeping the underarm area dry and comfortable throughout the day. This helps to prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria, contributing to effective odor control. Arrowroot powder has a silky texture, which results in a smooth application experience, reducing friction and irritation. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, reducing irritation from shaving or sensitive skin.
3.) MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE neutralizes odor-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface and balances the skin’s natural pH. Unlike aluminum-based antiperspirants that block sweat glands, magnesium hydroxide allows the body to perspire naturally while inhibiting bacterial growth. And unlike baking soda, magnesium hydroxide is less soluble and takes longer to dissolve in sweat, allowing the skin to adjust gradually and potentially minimizing irritation.
4.) ORGANIC BEESWAX acts as a natural barrier on the skin's surface, helping to keep irritants away while still allowing the skin to breathe. It creates a physical barrier that can reduce sweat and odor by preventing bacteria from interacting with sweat on the skin. This is achieved while also allowing the skin to maintain its natural functions.
5.) ORGANIC UNREFINED KOKUM BUTTER, derived from the seeds of the Garcinia indica tree, is a valuable ingredient in natural deodorants due to its lightweight, non-greasy texture and excellent skin-nourishing properties. It provides deep moisturization without clogging pores, helping to soothe and hydrate sensitive underarm skin. Its natural antimicrobial properties can help combat odor-causing bacteria, enhancing the deodorant’s effectiveness. Additionally, kokum butter’s high content of antioxidants and fatty acids supports skin repair and maintains a smooth, non-sticky feel, making it an ideal choice for gentle, long-lasting odor protection.
6.) ORGANIC MCT OIL contains lauric acid, which can help kill odor-causing bacteria. Additionally, it's lightweight, non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), and can be soothing for sensitive underarm skin. It also helps bind scent molecules to your skin so the fragrances in our formulation last throughout the day, keeping you smelling fresh.
7.) ORGANIC GRASS FED/FINISHED BEEF TALLOW is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, and fatty acids like stearic and oleic acid, which closely mimic human skin oils. This makes it deeply hydrating, soothing irritation and preventing dryness without clogging pores. Its natural fatty acids, like conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), have antimicrobial properties that can help reduce odor-causing bacteria on the skin. Grass-finished tallow contains higher levels of CLA and omega-3s compared to grain-fed, enhancing its anti-inflammatory and skin-nourishing effects.
8.) ZINC RICINOLEATE is a zinc salt derived from ricinoleic acid, which is found in castor oil. It chemically traps and absorbs odor molecules formed during the bacterial decomposition of perspiration. Unlike antiperspirants, it doesn't block sweat glands and allows the body to regulate temperature naturally.
9.) ORGANIC FRAGRANCE (all-natural version) derived from natural essential oils and plant extracts, provide a safe and eco-friendly way to neutralize and mask body odor. Unlike synthetic fragrances, which may contain harmful chemicals, organic fragrances offer gentle, non-irritating scents that blend harmoniously with the body’s chemistry. (No allergens.) Our Luxury Collection uses premium, phthalate-free, skin-safe fragrances which are a mixture of synthetics and essential oils.
10.) CALCIUM BENTONITE CLAY is another moisture absorber, keeping the underarms dry and preventing the growth of odor-causing bacteria. This clay also has the ability to bind to impurities and toxins, helping to remove them from the skin. This can be particularly beneficial for those transitioning from traditional antiperspirants, as it can help to clear out any buildup of chemicals and make the skin more receptive to natural deodorants. Furthermore, bentonite clay is gentle on the skin and can help to soothe irritation.
11.) ORGANIC MAGNOLIA BARK, specifically the compounds magnolol and honokiol, have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds can help to neutralize odor-causing bacteria on the skin, providing a natural alternative to synthetic antibacterial agents commonly used in deodorants. Furthermore, magnolia bark extract may help to soothe skin irritation, which can be beneficial for sensitive skin.
12.) ORGANIC VITAMIN E acts as a powerful antioxidant, soothing and protecting the delicate underarm skin from irritation caused by shaving or daily wear. Its natural moisturizing properties help keep the skin soft and hydrated, while also supporting skin repair & reducing inflammation and neutralizing free radicals. It also helps extend the shelf life of the product.
Yes! We guarantee each luxury wax melt we sell lasts longer than your average retail store melt AND smells better than them. Why? We use a premium top-of-the-line all-natural soy wax that has a wonderful scent throw. Additionally, this wax has no chemical additives.
What else? PREMIUM phthalate-free oils. There's nothing cheap here. We add these premium oils at just the right temperature and then hand pour them at a specific temperature as well. We don't cut corners. (That doesn't mean that some scents aren't stronger than others. If you have questions about any of our fragrances, we're happy to help!)
Should you ever purchase a scent that disappoints you, contact us and we will replace it at ZERO cost to you. That's our guarantee. We want you to be happy. With a HUGE variety of scents that continues to grow, you can be sure you'll find something you'll love.
(Since we do use a natural soy wax without chemical additives, there may be slight 'frosting' on the melts at times. This is merely the soy wax trying to revert back to its original state. It is perfectly NATURAL and does not affect the scent throw.)

Our BODY BUTTER comes housed in premium 4oz or 8oz (jumbo) glass jars with faux bamboo lids.
We start with a luxurious coconut apricot wax that's gluten-free, toxin-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, and cruelty-free. Since we love to support American businesses, we're happy to say it's also made in the United States.
We've found this high end wax to be superior in multiple ways:
1.) It has an even stronger scent throw than soy wax--cold and hot. If you've tried our previous candles, you know this is no easy feat. Apricots are specifically added to the wax for scent performance. You'll be blown away at how quickly the fragrance will fill a large room. 2.) It burns more evenly than soy wax. No more bumpy, ugly candle surfaces. After each burn, you'll be left with a beautifully smooth surface. 3.) It burns longer. In fact, this wax burns up to DOUBLE the amount of time that soy candles of the same size do. (Please make sure to follow instructions and keep wick trimmed as well as keeping the candle away from drafty spaces.) 4.) It's made of sustainable resources. The wax is derived from renewable resources and is produced in a way that does not deplete natural resources. It's also biodegradable. 5.) It produces far less soot than other waxes so you can breathe happier. 6.) It's less likely to tunnel since it doesn't have the same 'wax memory' as soy wax. For those not familiar, tunneling is when a hole forms down the center, leaving unused wax at the edges.
We then blend in our premium, non-toxic, phthalate-free fragrance and pour everything into a beautiful, black ceramic container with a flat braided cotton wick that's constructed of 100% natural fibers and a vegetable wax.
Finally, we use an elegant & sustainable bamboo lid that's carefully laser etched with our store logo. It's the perfect way to top off such a beautiful candle that you won't find anywhere else!
For only $7 more, we can personalize your candle by laser engraving whatever you'd like onto the bamboo lid. We will work closely with you to make your one-of-a-kind gift even more special.
The simple question is UP TO 3 MONTHS PER DIFFUSER. However, there are several things to consider:
What is the temperature? The warmer the temperature, the faster the fragrance will diffuse. Thankfully there's 8ml of premium fragrance in each diffuser bottle so you'll still get a LOT of fragrance.
How strong do you like your fragrance? The more you saturate the lid with fragrance, the more fragrance you use. The great thing about our diffusers is that if the fragrance strength isn't to your liking, you can put the stopper back in the bottle to tone the fragrance down or you can increase the fragrance by carefully tipping the diffuser upside down for a few seconds. Scent strength is entirely up to you.
Is it a hanging diffuser or clip diffuser? Since the clip diffusers clip to your vent and diffuse constantly, they're not going to last as long as the hanging diffusers. However, they WILL give you a stronger, more consistent fragrance than the hanging diffusers due to the fact they're working around-the-clock.
Both, actually! Contrary to popular belief, the term 'parfum' actually has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with the concentration of fragrance in the product. In the case of a parfum, it's always 20-30% fragrance concentration. Ours is approximately 30% so you can enjoy the fragrance all day long.
TIP: for an even longer lasting scent, spritz the parfum onto your clothing and enjoy!
Yes, ALL of our products are cruelty free and almost all of them are vegan! We go to great lengths to source our ingredients from reputable companies who do not conduct animal testing. We love our furry friends.
All of our oils, soy wax, and dyes are 100% vegan.
Our all-natural deodorant does contain grass fed/grass finished wagyu beef tallow and beeswax so it is NOT vegan.
However, please do not lick or consume ANY of our products. Despite how great a product may smell, please don't eat it.
When we set out to create a logo for our brand, we knew instantly that we wanted it to be a skull. Why a skull instead of a butterfly or a cute little flower like ALL of the other brands, you may ask?
Skulls are old symbols of courage and strength. They are associated with the ability to defeat the odds, overcome obstacles, and recognize and deal with danger bravely and boldly. Skull symbolism represents personal power and is linked with warrior spirits and valorous force. Despite the negative connotations some people apply to them because they look scary, skulls are POSITIVE symbols. I mean, skulls are underneath EVERY single human being. It's part of us. It's a reminder of our mortality and a reminder to live each day to its fullest. The cowboy sheriff idea just embraced our Texas roots at the time.
So now you're probably thinking, "So, why the name Scentister then?" Obviously we mean something evil, right? Simply put: left.
According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, "sinister" comes from a Latin word meaning “on the left side,” and while the earliest uses of the word in English—dating from the 14th century—pertain to some measure of evil, forboding, or malevolence, others retain the Latin meaning of “left”.
The association of the directional left with evil is likely attributed to the dominance of right-handed people within a population at the time. Left-handed people were deemed "different" and even misinterpreted to be evil. This misunderstanding sealed the name for us. Scentister--DIFFERENT--it was. Plus it sounds pretty darn cool.
We have ALWAYS set out to be different by using safer ingredients than other brands. We embrace this difference happily.
So display the cowboy skull logo proudly. While some are afraid to be different, we're afraid to be the same as everyone else.
