Wax Burners and Wax Melts: The Ultimate Guide to Filling Your Home with Fragrance
If you’re looking for a simple way to make your home smell incredible, a wax burner and wax melts are one of the most effective and affordable home fragrance solutions available. Whether you prefer a traditional tealight wax burner, an electric wax burner, or a convenient plug in wax burner, pairing it with high-quality soy wax melts can instantly transform any room.
At Hampshire Candles, we stock a wide range of wax melt burners, electric wax melters, and over 200 fragrances of hand-poured soy wax melts designed to fill your home with long-lasting scent.
What Is a Wax Burner?
A wax burner is a fragrance warmer designed to gently melt scented wax, releasing fragrance into your home. Unlike candles, wax melts do not contain a wick and are designed specifically to be used with a wax melt burner.
Wax burners are available in several styles including:
- Tealight wax burners
- Electric wax burners
- Plug in wax burners
- Touch-sensitive electric wax melters
- Decorative ceramic wax burners
- Glass wax melt warmers
Modern wax burners come in a huge range of styles to suit any décor, from traditional ceramic designs to electric and plug-in warmers.
How Do Wax Melts Work?
Using wax melts is incredibly simple.
- Place a piece of wax melt into the dish of your wax burner.
- Turn on your electric wax burner or light an unscented tealight beneath the burner.
- The wax gently melts.
- Fragrance is released throughout your home.
Unlike candles, the wax itself does not evaporate. Instead, the fragrance oils are released into the air while the wax remains in the dish.
Our hand-poured soy wax melts are designed to provide a strong scent throw and long-lasting fragrance throughout your home.
