Candles vs Wax Melts: Which One’s Right for You?
✨ Why We Love Candles
Candles bring more than fragrance — they bring atmosphere. With their warm flicker and slow-release scent, candles are ideal for creating calming rituals and elevating your environment.
🔥 Why Wax Melts Are So Strong
Wax melts are compact, flameless, and pack a punch when it comes to fragrance. They’re a perfect choice for anyone wanting a quick, powerful scent experience — especially in smaller spaces.
- Stronger hot throw in most cases
- Flameless = safer for kids and pets
- Great for mixing and blending your own scents
- Typically more cost-effective
Things to keep in mind:
- Requires a wax warmer
- Doesn’t provide the visual ambiance of a flame
- May be too strong in tiny rooms
