Candle jars have been popular for many years. Their appeal is that the flickering light of candles create a pleasant relaxing atmosphere in the home, so when added with a range of attractive fragrances or scents, their appeal is instantly doubled.
However, naked flames around the house can also pose a significant fire risk so it’s important when using any type of candle that you follow the safety advice carefully. Lit candles should NEVER be left unattended.
However, if you are looking to enjoy the scents given off by candle jars, wax melts have the distinct advantage of being completely flame free and far cheaper than candle jars.
Because scented wax melts can be heated using electric wax melt warmers which usually warm the melt with a small built-in light bulb, they are far safer to use especially if you have children or pets in the home. What’s more, there are a range of beautiful wax warmers to choose from that are an attractive item in themselves.
These warmers will heat a melt and start releasing the scent within around 5 minutes or so.
With some wax warmers available from the online wax melts store, Wax Melts Me, touching the burner will give you three different levels of heat and light!
Another advantage of wax melts over candle jars is that wax melts are far cheaper for the amount of ‘burn’ time achieved. A candle jar will give around 5 hours of burn time per ounce whereas wax melts will give around four times the burn time per ounce.
So what makes a good wax melt?
Well, it all depends on the way wax melts are made. At Wax Melts Me, all our wax melts not only contain a higher fragrance load compared to candle jars, but are made using 100% soy wax and non-toxic oils which are CLP-compliant and completely safe to use.
Each premium-quality melt is handmade by Wax Melts Me at our base in Bradford, West Yorkshire and we have in excess of 100 stunning fragrances to choose from including a blend of scents such as Apples and Berries, English Pear and Freesia, Fuji Apple and White Peach, Honeysuckle and Jasmine, Lime, Basil and Mandarin and Orange & Lemon Peel.
At just £5.99 for 15 melts, our wax melts offer extraordinary value for money, especially when compared to candle jars.
However, it all depends what effect you want and what suits you best. If you love the flickering flame as well as the scent, candle jars are the answer (although you can use a tealight burner with wax melts too).
If you are simply wanting to enjoy the wide range of beautiful fragrances available and the additional safety, then wax melts are clearly the better option.
