This melt is thoughtfully and delicately hand-poured using a premium, all-natural soy and coconut wax blend chosen for its exceptional scent performance, reusability, and reliable melting quality. Designed to offer a sustainable scent experience, each wax cube offers a consistent 8-15 hours of fragrance when proper wax melt care is followed. Check out the “Wax Melt Care & Maintenance” section below to learn how to get the most from your melts!
Additionally, this melt is intentionally formulated to produce a medium-to-strong scent throw that fills your space with comfort without becoming overwhelming. 1-2 cubes can easily produce enough fragrance to fill a bathroom, laundry room, waiting room, medium to large bedroom, foyer, basement, kitchen, etc! The fragrance oils infused within each wax melt are known for their clean, high-quality, safe, phthalate-free qualities, ensuring a luxurious and fragrant atmosphere.
Regardless of their qualities, our mission is to spread love, warmth, light, self-care, and comfort throughout your space – one wax melt at a time.

Top notes of a fragrance are what you smell first, the aromas that give you an initial impression and draw you in. These notes are usually lighter in smell and tend to be the citrusy or soft floral elements. They are the most volatile notes, meaning that they tend to fade more quickly than the others.
Middle notes, also called the “heart,” provide a balance between the top and base notes. These are usually bright florals, gourmands, fruits, or lighter woods. These notes are usually the most prominent aromas you will smell.
Base notes are the anchor or root of every scent, giving depth and longevity to the overall fragrance. Typically, these notes will be things like vanilla, spices, musks, woods, or amber. Base notes tend to linger in a room for some time after burning a candle, melting a wax melt, or spritzing a room spray.

Knowing how to treat your wax melts will dictate how well they perform! To ensure the best performance and longest wax melt lifespan, please follow these care guidelines:
Place 1-3 cubes in a wax warmer at a time (depending on warmer size) and melt for no more than 3-4 hours to prevent scent burnout or damage to your warmer. Allowing the wax to “rest” between melt cycles reduces scent burnout.
Once the melted wax cube is no longer detectable or has lost its smell, replace it with fresh cubes!
If using tealight candles to melt the wax cubes, do not burn the tealight for more than 4 hours.
Changing Out Wax Melt Cubes
If you’d like to change the fragrance but still have leftover wax in the warmer, please follow these steps:
Allow the wax to solidify for at least 2 hours and then remove the wax “puck” from the warmer.
Place the “puck” in a plastic Ziplock bag and store it in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.
Before placing the new cube(s) into the warmer, wipe it out with a paper towel soaked in rubbing alcohol or soapy water to ensure the fragrances don’t mix.
If the wax you’d like to replace no longer produces a fragrance, you can throw out the puck from step one or soak up the melted wax with a dry paper towel, pour the melted wax into a heat-resistant container that can be thrown away, or pour the melted wax directly into the garbage.
If you cannot remove the solidified wax puck from the warmer, you can pour the melted wax back into the clamshell it came in, into a lined wax melt cup, or into a small heat-resistant container. If the melted wax is higher than 175 degrees Fahrenheit, it will melt the plastic clamshell it came in.
Bypassing The Cleaning Steps
If you want to bypass the struggle of the above steps, use lined wax cups! You can purchase some here.
Place 1-2 cubes of wax into a lined wax cup rather than placing them directly onto the warmer itself.
Place the filled wax cup on top of the wax warmer or under a warmer light, turn the warmer on, and enjoy!
Turn the warmer off after 4 hours.
These cups make it easier to change wax fragrances or keep the warmer clean!
Pro tip - do not place more than 2 melts into a single cup. Overcrowding will make it harder for the wax to melt completely, which will dull the scent throw.
Do not mix these melts with any other oils, liquids, or water. Keep the plastic clamshell closed between uses and store it in a cool, dry area, out of direct sunlight. For further questions, check out my FAQs page or submit your question on my Contact page!

The following terms are used throughout the shop:
Scent Throw – Refers to how effectively a candle, wax melt, or reed diffuser emits its fragrance into a space. A throw can be classified as non-existent, faint/subtle, medium/fair, strong, or very strong/overwhelming.
Cold Throw – The fragrance a wax melt emits straight out of the package or before melting.
Hot Throw – The fragrance a wax melt emits into a space as it melts.
Electric Wax Warmer – A device designed to melt down scented wax cubes to release fragrance into the air without the use of a flame. Wax cubes sit on the top of the warmer while a heating apparatus beneath it releases heat to melt the cube(s) from the bottom. You can purchase one here!
Electric Wax Warmer Light – A device designed to melt down scented wax cubes to release fragrance into the air without the use of a flame. Wax cube(s) or a wickless candle sit underneath the warmer lamp and melt from the heat produced by the bulb above. You can purchase one here!
Non-Electric Wax Warmer – A device used to melt down scented wax cubes to release fragrance into the air, using a tealight candle as the heat source. These have the same design as an electric warmer, but they are usually made of ceramic and have an opening at the base to insert a lit tealight candle. You can purchase one here!
Lined Wax Cups – Thick, wax-lined cups that hold scented wax cubes and sit on the top of a wax warmer or under a wax warmer light, making it easier to switch out different melt fragrances and reduce clean up. You can purchase these here!
Melt Cycle – The amount of time a wax melt is spent in a liquid state. It is recommended that a wax melt not be melted for longer than 4 hours at a time.
Over-burning – When a wax melt is in a liquid state for longer than 4 hours. This typically results in the wax melt losing its fragrance faster or muting/dulling the fragrance during its melt cycle.
Scent Burn Out – When a melt loses its smell. This happens naturally after 8-15 hours of a wax cube being melted, but it can happen faster if the cube(s) are in a liquid state for more than 4 hours at a time. Allowing the wax to “rest” between melt cycles reduces scent burnout.
