These glass wax melts are designed to be used with a tealight candle (not included) for a beautiful and long-lasting fragrance experience. Crafted from clear, durable borosilicate glass, these melts allow you to fully appreciate the vibrant colours of the wax as it slowly melts and releases its scent. They’re ideal for creating a relaxing atmosphere in your living room, bedroom, or bathroom.

The glass container enhances the visual appeal of the melting wax, offering a captivating display while providing an extended burn time compared to traditional wax cubes. The clear design showcases the rich colours of the wax blend as it transforms, adding a touch of elegance to any space. These melts are perfect for creating personalised home fragrance blends and experimenting with different scent combinations.

To achieve optimal results, always use a tealight candle beneath the glass melt dish. Ensure the tealight is fully extinguished before leaving the room or disconnecting from power sources. The glass's heat resistance allows for safe and enjoyable wax melting, delivering a captivating aromatic experience.

FAQ

What type of tealights are best used with these glass melts?

Tealights with a burn time of approximately 12-18 hours are recommended to ensure the glass melts evenly and consistently. Shorter burn times may cause the melt to burn out prematurely.

How long will one of these glass wax melts last?

The burn time varies depending on factors like room temperature, ventilation, and the intensity of the fragrance oil. Typically, you can expect a single melt to burn for 24-36 hours.

Can I use different coloured tealights with these glass melts?

Absolutely! The coloured flame will enhance the visual effect of the melting wax, creating a more dramatic and colourful display. Experiment with different colours to create your desired aesthetic.

Are these glass melts safe to use?

These glass melts are made from borosilicate glass which is designed for high heat resistance. However, always exercise caution when using candles and keep them away from flammable materials.

What size tealight should I use?

A standard 6mm diameter tealight is generally recommended for optimal melting of the wax melts. Larger or smaller tealights may affect the melt rate.

Do I need to stir the wax melts?

No, you don't need to stir the wax melts. The fragrance oils are designed to diffuse naturally as the wax melts, creating a consistent scent throw.

How do I clean the glass after use?

Allow the glass to cool completely before cleaning. Gently wipe with a soft cloth – warm soapy water is suitable if needed, but avoid abrasive cleaners.

Will the fragrance change over time?

Fragrance oils can subtly shift in intensity over several melts due to evaporation and temperature changes. This is normal and doesn't affect the quality of the product.

What scent combinations work well together?

Experimenting with different scents is encouraged! Popular combinations include vanilla & sandalwood, lavender & chamomile, and citrus & lemongrass – but personal preferences always reign supreme.

Are these glass melts suitable for gifting?

These glass wax melts make a thoughtful gift. Package them beautifully with a tealight candle for an extra special presentation - check the Amazon listing for compatible accessories.
