Wax Melts & Home Fragrance

28. What are wax melts?

Wax melts are pieces of scented wax designed to release fragrance when warmed in a suitable wax melt burner. They’re a popular way to enjoy beautiful home fragrances without using a traditional candle wick.

29. How do I use wax melts?

Place the recommended amount of wax into a suitable wax melt burner and follow the burner’s instructions. As the wax warms, it releases fragrance into the surrounding space. Always follow the product’s safety guidance.

30. How long do wax melts last?

Fragrance duration varies depending on the wax formulation, fragrance, burner temperature, amount of wax and surrounding environment. Check individual product descriptions for any specific guidance.

31. Can I reuse wax melts?

Yes. Wax melts can often be warmed multiple times while they continue releasing fragrance. Once the scent has faded, allow the wax to cool and remove it according to your burner’s instructions.

32. Are wax melts better than scented candles?

Both offer enjoyable fragrance experiences. Wax melts allow you to use a separate warmer and change scents easily, while scented candles combine fragrance with a visible flame. The best choice depends on your preferences and how you plan to use them.

33. Are wax melts safe to use around children and pets?

Hot wax and burners can cause burns, and certain fragrance ingredients may be unsuitable for some animals. Keep all fragrance products, burners and electrical cables out of reach of children and pets. Follow product instructions and seek veterinary advice if you have concerns about a particular fragrance around your pet.

34. Can I leave my wax melt burner on overnight?

We do not recommend leaving a wax melt burner operating unattended or while sleeping. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and switch off or extinguish the heat source when appropriate.

35. Why can’t I smell my wax melts anymore?

You may have become accustomed to the fragrance, the wax may have released most of its scent or the burner may not be operating at the appropriate temperature. Fragrance performance also varies between products and environments.

36. How should I store wax melts and candles?

Store fragrance products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, children and pets. Keeping products in their original packaging where practical can help protect them from dust and contamination.

37. Are your wax melts vegan and cruelty-free?

Product formulations and certifications can vary. Please check the individual product description for confirmed vegan, cruelty-free or other product-specific claims, or contact us before purchasing.

38. Do your products contain allergens?

Some scented products contain fragrance ingredients that may cause sensitivity or allergic reactions. Always review the ingredient information, warning labels and product-specific safety instructions before use.

39. Do you sell strong and long-lasting home fragrances?

We offer fragrance products with different scent profiles and characteristics. Fragrance strength and longevity depend on the individual product, formulation and conditions of use, so results may vary.

40. Can I mix different wax melt fragrances?

Some fragrance enthusiasts enjoy experimenting with scent combinations, but only mix products where the manufacturer permits it. Avoid overfilling burners and always follow the applicable safety instructions.

Gifts, Promotions & Product Availability

41. Are wax melts and scented candles suitable as gifts?
