Scented Wax Melts vs. Candles: Which is Better?

What exactly is wax melt?

Wax melts are small pieces of scentful wax that melts when heated, and release a powerful smell in your home. The scent-enhancing wax is heated by a wax burner, and then it melts into a liquid wax. The melted wax is capable of exchanging the strong fragrance that it contains to the surrounding area and beyond.

There are a variety of shapes and sizes of wax melts, including the clamshell, wax tarts snap bars, and many more. Certain melts are made inside clamshells that permit you to break a uniformly sized and fragranced wax cube every time. It’s enough to fill a candle burner and fragrance the entire space. We also make wax discs that are less than clamshells and provide an opportunity to test various wax scents without spending a fortune.
