A teenage entrepreneur from North Yorkshire is managing to run his thriving business alongside studying for his A-levels.
Leyburn-based Harvey Moss, 17, set up his fragrance business from his bedroom in Leyburn in 2021 when he was just 14-years-old.
Dales Diffusers has gone from strength to strength since then, being stocked in high-profile shops and hotels throughout the region.
The brand's range of scents continues to grow in popularity, with an exclusive fragrance commissioned by the Wensleydale Heifer in West Witton.
Harvey said: "Guests at the hotel commented regularly on my rhubarb and rose scent, which the Heifer regularly uses.
"Another of my most popular fragrances is spiced orange and cinnamon.
"So when David Moss, the owner of the Heifer, commissioned me to create a Heifer-specific scent, I created wild rhubarb and cinnamon, a lovely combination of elements of both.
"That scent can only be bought at the Heifer, who have been incredibly supportive of me."
This year, Harvey has also seen his Dales Diffusers stocked at the Ripon Cathedral gift shop, while other Yorkshire businesses have increased the range they offer customers.
It's a busy time for Harvey, who is currently in his last year of studying for A-levels at a local sixth-form college.
With Christmas, his busiest period, just around the corner, Harvey is preparing for a series of Christmas markets where he will showcase his products.
He said: "In recent years at the Tennants Christmas Fair, I have completely sold out of all I'd taken in just a couple of hours and have had to dash home to collect all the rest of my stock, which also sold out.
"I'm always so thrilled that people like my products so much, and it's a real honour to think so many people have them in their homes."
Harvey's handmade diffusers come in a range of different fragrances including the most popular rhubarb and rose, lemongrass and ginger, and Thai lime and mango.
He also offers festive scents including spiced orange and cinnamon and winter morning.

As well as being available for sale in stockists and online, Mr Moss will also be attending Christmas fairs on Friday and Saturday, November 29 and 30 at Tennants Garden Rooms and Sunday, December 1 at Tupgill Park.
Harvey added: "Next year, after my A-levels, I hope to join the police in September and while I fully intend to keep Dales Diffusers running, I might not be able to get out and about so much for the markets next Christmas.
"I'm going to really enjoy meeting customers this year and thank them in advance for their ongoing support."
