Frequently asked questions
Wax melts are one of the easiest ways to fill your home with beautiful fragrance.
Whether you're relaxing in the evening, entertaining guests or simply making your house feel more inviting, using your wax melts correctly will help you enjoy the very best fragrance every time.
In this guide, we'll explain how to use wax melts safely, get the most from every melt and maximise your home fragrance.
1.Choosing The Right Wax Warmer
Before using your wax melt, make sure your wax warmer is clean and suitable for wax melts.
Whether you use a tealight burner or an electric warmer, always follow the manufacturer's instructions and place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
Using the correct warmer helps your wax melt evenly and produces the best fragrance.
2.How Much Wax Should I Use?
Most wax melts are designed so that a single segment provides plenty of fragrance for one use.
Avoid overfilling the dish, as melted wax needs space to sit safely without overflowing.
Starting with one segment also makes it easier to change fragrances whenever you feel like trying something different.
3. How To Get The Best Fragrance Throw
EPSILON TIP
Rather than adding more wax, replace the wax once the fragrance has faded.
Fresh wax always produces the strongest scent.
4. When Should You Replace The Wax
Unlike candles, the wax doesn't disappear.
Instead, the fragrance oils are gradually released until little scent remains.
Once the fragrance becomes noticeably weaker, allow the wax to cool before removing it and replacing it with a fresh wax melt.
Several factors affect how well your fragrance fills a room.
-
Use your wax warmer in an appropriately sized room.
-
Keep doors and windows closed while the fragrance develops.
-
Position the burner away from strong draughts.
-
Use fresh wax for the strongest fragrance.
-
Choose richer fragrances for larger living spaces.
