How it unfolds
Top notes arrive first and fade fastest. The base is what the room still smells like two hours later.

Wax melt care
Four habits that decide how long it lasts-
One cube at a time
Start with a single cube. Two will not smell twice as strong — they will just finish twice as fast.
-
Never add water
A wax melt is not a simmer pot. Water in the dish makes the hot wax spit, and it ruins the warmer.
-
Let the wax set before you swap it
Cool wax lifts out of the dish in one piece. Warm wax smears, and the next scent arrives mixed with the last one.
-
Change it when the scent goes
The wax stays behind when the fragrance is spent. If the room no longer smells of it after an hour, the cube is done.
- One cube at a time, in a warmer made for wax melts.
- Never add water to the dish — hot wax and water spit.
- Keep the warmer level, on a heat-resistant surface, away from children and pets.
- A tea-light warmer is an open flame: keep it in sight and never leave it burning.
