Hi Dominique. Just a heads up, not all fragrance oils are created the same. You need to check the IFRA documentation sheet for each fragrance because the maximum safety usage differs and some might not be allowed at all. The safety amount should be listed under section 10A. The reason I'm mentioning this is because the customer might get some of this on their fingers or hands when pulling the plug out or refilling the diffuser bottle. You want to keep your customer's safety in mind. 😊
Thank you for this! It is something I have since educated myself on and went back to check all of my car diffusers were in compliance, I think I might make a video on that as well. Very important
@@vivianspears9969 great question! Yes, once I’m ready to use the diffuser I take the plastic plug and discard it. I guess technically, do don’t need to do that if you wanted to re-cap it though
Hey there!! I just started making these myself. I sell mine for $8 each or 3 for $20. I sold out 2 weeks ago and I'm starting to restock. My vessels are the same as yours.
That’s great to hear! Proud of your success with these! I just did a fair last week and they sold very well! I have another fair this Saturday, and I’m curious to see how they do. I love the 3 for 20 idea
@@knightlightcandleco thank you!! Congrats to you as well!! Wishing you the best of luck in your event this weekend! Sending sold out vibes your way! I just subscribed to your channel! Looking forward to learning more! Try maybe the refills! Im waiting on supplies to try mine!
Hi there! I don’t understand how you guys are getting these to smell like anything. I use the same base and even tried a different one and did the same ratio and 3 different scents and from a lighter one to my strongest and you can only smell it for a couple of minutes after you tip it. I’m glad you got yours to put off a good scent in your car. I have to test more before I add it to my items. Thanks for the video!!
Hmm I’m not sure exactly what may be the problem. Make sure the fragrance you are using is approved for the reed base. Make sure you are following the IFRA guidelines as well. (I should have went over that as well).
@@knightlightcandleco thank you for responding! Yes I watched a video with that information. I’ll double and triple check though to make sure before I give up. I appreciate you!
Hi Dominique, don't forget to include your time and if you need to research and development on new products when you are figuring your COGS as well as other overhead items like labels, packaging, etc. I hope these do well for you!
Yep I have it in my car currently. As the summers have gotten hotter, they certainly don’t last as long, but still surpassing a regular car freshener in my opinion. I’m on week 3 with my current diffuser and it is running low now. But the sun will dry out the cap more frequently
I noticed you were wearing a Bucs t-shirt. Do you sell your products in the Tampa area? What markets? I live in Tampa and would love to see your booth. Thx!
@@anamirwald3346 hey! So I’m originally from St.Pete! However, due to my current W2 job I had to move to Maryland, so I’ve been here for the last 6 years. Huge Bucs fan though! If you would like, please shoot me an email at knightlightcandle@gmail.com, id love to keep in touch should I ever do anything in the area!
So I actually have a worksheet that I jot down my suppliers and the costs of their goods. It helps me keep track of costs, and supplier info should I need to re-order. Ultimately, once I have my COGS I input that number into Shopify for each specific product.

@@melaniepierre6762 No problem! Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing 😊
My pleasure 😊
So do you leave the plastic cap off once you hang it in your car

Also, look into refills for your vessels and you can sell them separately or together with the diffuser for more!

I'm getting the same results 😢
Can someone teach me how you know a fragrance will work in a car diffuser? I have scents that didn't work well as candles and I want to try.
Hi Dominique, don't forget to include your time and if you need to research and development on new products when you are figuring your COGS as well as other overhead items like labels, packaging, etc. I hope these do well for you!
Certainly! These have been great for me so far! I actually sold out the last fair I did
Good idea, what about longevity especially with sun ? have you tried it ?
Yep I have it in my car currently. As the summers have gotten hotter, they certainly don’t last as long, but still surpassing a regular car freshener in my opinion. I’m on week 3 with my current diffuser and it is running low now. But the sun will dry out the cap more frequently
So do I flip it til top gets wet ? Thank u looks like a great idea .
Yup! The liquid will saturate the top and disburse the scent!
Oh ok nice thank u ☺️
