Let’s Talk Scent Throw & Setup!

The quality of scent throw you can achieve from our wax melts depends on a variety of factors. In this guide, we’ll help you get the most out of your wax melts and create the perfect melting experience for your home.

Tealight Burners:

When using a tealight burner, it’s important to always choose a high-quality tea light. While it might be tempting to buy large, inexpensive bags of tea lights, we’ve found, both from personal experience and feedback from our customers, that opting for quality over price can make a significant difference in the strength of the scent throw. Using a higher-quality tea light can drastically improve your fragrance experience, and you’ll be amazed by how much it enhances the scent.

Always use a 4-hour tealight when burning your wax. Larger tea lights may burn too quickly, causing the fragrance to dissipate faster and leaving you with just the scentless, melted wax. Additionally, larger tea lights can create a fire hazard as they may cause the burner to become too hot, potentially leading to cracks or even wax spilling onto the tea light. To ensure safety and the best fragrance experience, stick to 4-hour tea lights.

It’s also important to use the right size burner for your wax melts. If your burner is too small, the fragrance can burn off too quickly, and again, the burner may overheat, increasing the risk of fire. Using a burner that is appropriately sized will help achieve a steady and effective scent throw.

Electric Burners:

Electric burners are a fantastic alternative to tealight burners, especially for those who are concerned about open flames in the home. They’re particularly popular in busy households, as they require less supervision and offer peace of mind when in use.

When selecting an electric warmer, we recommend choosing one with a 40-watt bulb. Anything less than this may not generate enough heat to properly release the fragrance from our wax melts, meaning the scent won’t fill your space as effectively. A 40-watt bulb will ensure that your wax melts at the right temperature, releasing the full, beautiful fragrance intended.

Choosing a wax burner—whether electric or tealight—ultimately comes down to personal preference and the specific needs of your home. By following these recommendations, we hope you’ll be able to enjoy the best scent throw from our products and fully immerse yourself in the wonderful fragrances from our collections.

Safety Considerations:

Regardless of the type of burner you choose, always use it in a safe environment. Keep your burner out of reach of children and pets to avoid accidents, and place it in a secure area where it won’t be knocked over.

Additionally, avoid placing your burner near drafts or open windows. You don’t want to lose any of our amazing scents to wind or air movement.

Room Size and Wax Quantity:

Consider the size of the room when deciding how much wax to melt. In larger or open-plan spaces, you may need to use more than one burner to achieve an even, strong scent throw throughout the room. Multiple burners can help ensure the fragrance fills the entire space, making your home smell wonderful.

By following these simple tips and guidelines, you can optimize your scent throw and enjoy the full potential of our wax melts in your home.
