Vanilla is a classic choice and is one of our most popular wax melt scents. You can experiment with different scents like lavender, banana bread, honey & oud or mix and match to customise the scent to match your home according to the season or mood.

Wax melt safety

When it comes to wax melts, safety is important. Ensure you place your wax warmer on a heat-resistant surface and never leave it unattended. If using a candle-lit wax warmer, do not exceed 4 hours to preserve the wax melt scent for longer. Whereas electric burners can be left on for up to 10 hours at a time.

Whether you’re using electric wax warmers or candles, ensure that you’re in the same room and that you can see what’s happening; and make sure you switch off the wax warmer before bed and check for any hot spots on the warmer. With some wax warmers, you can also control the intensity of the heat and the amount of fragrance coming out of them.

Wax warmer tips

When you are ready to start using your wax melts, make sure you place the warmer on a heat-resistant surface. Choose a wax melt scent you like and place it in the warmer well. Using an electric wax warmer? - Plug in the warmer and let the wax begin to melt. The benefit is using electric warmers is you may be able to adjust the temperature which can increase the intensity of the fragrance. Most warmers come with an adjustable timer, so you can also control the length of time during which the wax will melt. Traditional warmers are far less complex, just insert a tea light and watch the wax melt.

Over time the scent will fade but the wax will remain you can add another cube to revive the scent or remove the wax disc and replace the scents to match the season or mood.
