Wax melts are one of the easiest — and most affordable — ways to fill your home with beautiful fragrance. No flame, no fuss, just pure scent. Whether you're new to wax melts or looking to get more out of your warmer, this guide covers everything you need to know.
What Are Wax Melts?
Wax melts are small, scented pieces of wax that you place in a wax warmer or burner. Unlike candles, they don't have a wick — instead, the warmer gently heats the wax to release fragrance into the air. They're flameless (when used with an electric warmer), long-lasting, and incredibly versatile.
What You'll Need
- Wax melts — choose your favorite scent or mix a few for a custom blend
- A wax warmer — electric warmers are the safest and most convenient option
We recommend pairing our Wax Melt Collection with our Electric Wax Melt Burners for a seamless, flameless experience.
Step-by-Step: How to Use Wax Melts
- Set up your warmer. Place your electric wax warmer on a flat, heat-safe surface away from drafts, children, and pets.
- Add your wax melt. Place 1–2 cubes (or pieces) into the dish of your warmer. You don't need much — a little goes a long way.
- Turn it on. Switch on your electric warmer. The wax will begin to melt within a few minutes, releasing fragrance throughout the room.
- Enjoy the scent. Most wax melts last 6–10 hours of use before the scent fades. You'll know it's time to change when the fragrance is no longer noticeable.
- Change the wax. Let the wax cool and solidify, then pop it out and discard. Wipe the dish clean and add fresh melts.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Wax Melts
- Start with one cube. You can always add more if you want a stronger scent throw.
- Mix scents. Try combining complementary fragrances — like lavender and vanilla — for a custom blend. Our Signature Lavender Luxe pairs beautifully with warm, sweet notes.
- Match the scent to the room. Use lighter, fresh scents in smaller spaces and richer, warmer scents in larger living areas.
- Don't overfill the dish. Too much wax can overflow when melted. Stick to 1–2 cubes at a time.
- Store unused melts properly. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fragrance.
- Seasonal scenting. Switch things up with the seasons — our Christmas Wax Melts are perfect for filling your home with festive, cozy fragrance during the holidays.

Wax Melts vs. Candles: Which Is Right for You?
Both are wonderful — it really comes down to preference. Wax melts tend to offer a stronger scent throw and are flameless, making them ideal for homes with kids or pets. Candles, on the other hand, create a beautiful ambiance with their glow. Many of our customers love using both! Check out our Nat'Ella Candle Collection and Sunshine Jae Candle Collection if you want to explore candles too.
