FAQs

What are wax melts?
Wax melts are small, highly fragrant blocks of wax that are used in a wax warmer to release delightful scents into the air. They do not have a wick, so they need to be melted using a heat source to create an aromatic atmosphere.

How do I use wax melts?
To use wax melts, simply place one or two pieces in the dish of a wax warmer. Turn on the warmer, and as the wax melts, it will release the fragrance into the room. You can switch them out whenever you’d like a new scent.

Do I need a special warmer for wax melts?
Yes, you will need a wax warmer specifically designed for melting wax melts. These can be electric or tea light warmers, and they provide the heat needed to melt the wax and release the fragrance.

Can I mix different wax melt scents?
Absolutely! Mixing different wax melts can create unique and personalised fragrances. It's a great way to experiment and find combinations that you particularly enjoy.

How long do wax melts last?
The longevity of wax melts depends on the brand and the size of the pieces used. Typically, one wax melt may last anywhere from 8 to 30 hours of fragrance, depending on how much heat is applied and the type of wax used.

How do I know which scents to choose?
Choosing scents often comes down to personal preference. Consider your favourite fragrances and the mood you want to create. Floral, fruity, and earthy scents can all evoke different feelings, so sampling various options can help you find what you love.

Are wax melts safe to use?
When used as directed, wax melts are generally safe. However, always keep an eye on them while melting, avoid overheating, and keep them out of reach of children and pets for added safety.

Can I reuse wax melts after they’ve cooled down?
Once a wax melt has cooled and the fragrance has diminished, it’s usually time to replace it with a new one. However, you can let it cool and then reheat it briefly if you wish to enjoy the fragrance for a little longer before discarding it.

How should I store my wax melts?
Wax melts should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their fragrance. It's best to keep them in an airtight container or their original packaging to prevent them from drying out.
