Sniff, Smile, and Remember: Scentsy at EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival!
Get ready to take a stroll down memory lane (or make some new ones!) at the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. For the fourth year running, Scentsy is back with its “Blossoms of Fragrance,” and it’s a total treat for the senses.
If you didn’t know, Scentsy is the Official Home Fragrance of Walt Disney World Resort. They’ve got this amazing knack for creating scents that just stick with you. One whiff, and you’re instantly transported back to a special moment. It’s like magic!

So, how did this all come about? Well, Scentsy teamed up with the brilliant minds at Walt Disney Imagineering and Carla Shuman, a Senior Landscape Architect at Walt Disney World Resort. Together, they’ve created these gorgeous gardens around the fragrance stations. Carla mentioned that Scentsy even gave their team a “Fragrance 101” class to help them pick the perfect botanical scents for the festival. How cool is that?
When you wander between World Celebration and World Showcase, make sure you stop by the bridge. That’s where you’ll find these incredible scents, surrounded by huge butterfly topiaries and beautiful garden planters. It’s a feast for the eyes and the nose!
And the best part? You can take a piece of the magic home with you! Right next to the scent stations, you’ll find the Scentsy Fragrance Flowers. These aren’t your ordinary flowers; they slowly change color as the scent diffuses! You can choose from Garden Fresh Gardenia, Glorious Grapefruit, and Hibiscus Sunset. Each fragrance comes in a compact box, perfect for bringing those festival memories home.
A Whiff of What’s in Bloom
Here’s a sneak peek at the scents you can experience at the festival:
- Glorious Grapefruit: Imagine a sparkling morning brunch. This scent is bright, citrusy, and oh-so-fresh!
Keep an eye out for the vibrant planters around this station! They’re a riot of yellow, deep red, fiery orange, and bright gold blooms. It’s like a lesson in how to mix and match colors to create a dazzling display in your own garden.
- Garden Fresh Gardenia: Sweet, warm, and comforting – like a sunny afternoon in a blooming garden.
Look for the delicate bush morning glories with their soft, tender petals. They perfectly mirror the gentle nature of the gardenia scent. And keep an eye out on the giant butterfly topiaries – you might just spot some blooms that echo these beauties!
- Serene Succulent: An oasis of lush greens with a touch of bright bergamot. It’s like a laid-back summer day in a bottle.
The planter here is overflowing with all sorts of cool succulents in different shapes and colors. Notice how thick and fleshy their leaves are? That’s how they store water, making them a perfect symbol of that refreshing feeling this scent embodies.
- Hibiscus Sunset: Take a bit of that Florida vacation home with you! This scent is tropical, fruity, and bursting with the joy of spring.
Here’s a chance to see a pineapple plant up close! They grow low to the ground with that iconic crown of leaves on top of the fruit. It’s a little taste of the tropics right there in EPCOT.
- Honeysuckle Dew: Warm spring evenings in the backyard – that’s what this sweet, delicate aroma brings to mind.
The planters here feature a lovely blend of purple and blue flowers, including those beautiful, pillowy hydrangeas. You might even catch a glimpse of the monorail gliding by in the background!
- Hydrangea Bouquet: A fresh burst of clean scent with a touch of floral aroma. It’s like capturing a perfect moment in time.
Hydrangeas are definitely the stars of the show in these planters! And did you notice the shape of the pots? They were специально chosen because their curves are similar to the iconic shape of a Scentsy Wax Bar – a fun little detail connecting the fragrance to the brand!
Each scent station also has its own unique garden design, with carefully chosen flowers and colors to complement the fragrance. It’s a truly immersive experience!
So, there you have it! A fragrant journey through the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. Don’t miss your chance to experience these scents and create some unforgettable memories. The festival is blooming until June 2nd, 2025, so get your sniff on!
