How to Get the Most from Your Wax Melts | Expert Tips for a Strong, Even Scent

Our wax melts are known for their long-lasting, room-filling fragrance — but how and where you use them can make that scent experience even better.
Here are a few simple tips to help you enjoy every last bit of fragrance and keep your home smelling incredible.


🔥 1. Choose the Right Burner

Your burner makes a big difference to how your wax performs.
Electric wax melt burners give a steady, even heat — perfect for a slow fragrance release — while tealight burners create a faster, more intense scent throw.
👉 Try one of our Electric Wax Melt Burners for effortless, consistent results.


🕯️ 2. Match the Melt Size to the Burner

You don’t need to overload your dish — just one block from a Project Scent Wax Melt Bar or a teaspoon of Scented Sizzlers is ideal.
This gives a strong, balanced fragrance without overheating the wax.


🌸 3. Create the Right Atmosphere

Keep your wax burner away from open windows or strong drafts. Air movement can make your scent fade faster or feel uneven in the room.


🧽 4. Keep Things Clean

Before changing scents, let the wax cool completely, then remove it and wipe the dish clean.
This keeps your next fragrance pure and prevents scent mixing.


🕰️ 5. Take a Break Between Burns

Our melts are powerful — you don’t need to burn them all day.
Let the wax rest and cool between uses to keep the fragrance fresh and the wax looking its best.


💜 Final Tip:

Fragrance perception varies — but richer base notes like Oud Wood, Baccarat, or Alien-inspired scents tend to fill larger spaces longer, while fresher, lighter scents are perfect for bathrooms and bedrooms.
