A Complete Beginner’s Guide.

If you’re new to home fragrance or looking for a fresh way to scent your space, wax melts might just be your new best friend. But what exactly are wax melts, and how do you get the most out of them? Let’s dive in.

 

What Are Wax Melts?

Wax melts are small blocks or shapes of scented wax that you gently warm in a wax burner to release their fragrance. Unlike candles, wax melts don’t have a wick or flame — making them a safer, longer-lasting alternative for filling your home with beautiful scents.

 

At Vashti Aromas, all our wax melts are hand-poured using natural soy wax and high-quality fragrance oils, designed to give you a clean, consistent scent every time. Soy wax is a natural, renewable resource that burns cleaner than traditional paraffin wax, making it a great eco-friendly choice for your home.

 

How Do You Use Wax Melts?

Using wax melts is simple:

 

1. Place one or two wax melts into the top dish of your wax burner.

 

2. Light a tea light candle underneath (or use an electric burner for a flameless option).

 

3. As the soy wax gently melts, it releases its fragrance into the room.

 

No flame means no soot, no smoke, and a safer way to enjoy your favourite scents — perfect for homes with children or pets.

 

Why Choose Wax Melts Over Candles?

Wax melts have lots of advantages:

 

Long-lasting fragrance — they often scent a room longer than a candle.

 

More variety — easily switch scents without committing to a whole candle.

 

Less mess — no wax drips or burns.

 

Eco-friendly soy wax — burns cleaner and is biodegradable.
