Frequently Asked Questions

Wax melts offer a flameless alternative to candles, consisting of a blend of fragrance oils, wax, and dye. Sold in a solid form, they are designed to be melted in a home wax warmer. As the wax begins to melt, the fragrance oil is heated and vaporizes into the air, filling the room with a delightful scent.

These melts come in various shapes, although they are usually small enough to fit in or on the palm of your hand. Some companies even embed glitter or botanicals into their melts for added visual appeal.

The best wax melts are crafted to emit a strong and pleasant aroma even before melting, making them a popular choice for home fragrance enthusiasts.

If your wax melt is small and roughly the size of an Oreo biscuit, it's the perfect size to place directly into the dish at the top of your warmer. For larger blocks, you'll need to cut or break them into smaller segments before melting.

Once you have suitable-sized segments, simply place one into the dish at the top of your warmer, turn the electric warmer on or light a tea-light underneath, and allow the beautiful aroma to fill your room as you relax.

Each wax melt is designed to emit fragrance for several hours. As a general rule, 50g wax melts last between 30-40 hours, while 90g wax melts last between 70-80 hours. However, it's best to enjoy them in 4-hour intervals, allowing each melt to be used multiple times and giving your warmer a chance to rest and cool between uses.

Remember to never leave your warmer unsupervised and keep it out of reach of children and pets at all times.

To ensure that every scent we offer is of exceptional quality, we conduct extensive and rigorous testing on all our wax melts.

We don't believe in making you pay for fancy designs that you'll never even see. Our wax melts are plain, but they are incredibly fragrant, and that's what truly matters to us.

At Scents By Sarah Hilton we take great pride in subjecting every one of our fragrances to rigorous testing to ensure they meet our high standards of being both beautiful and highly scented.

The temperature at which the wax is warmed plays a crucial role in determining the strength of the scent. If the wax is warmed at a cooler temperature, the scent throw will be more subtle. Conversely, if the temperature is higher during warming, the fragrance will be stronger.

The size of the room in which the wax melt is being used is also a significant factor. In smaller rooms, the fragrance will vaporize and fill the space more quickly, whereas in larger rooms, it will take more time to permeate the area.
