Wax melts seem pretty simple to start with however a lot of people jump in too quickly without doing research. Here at Lux Nova we want you to get the very best from our products. Here are 6 ways to help you get the most from your new wax melts:
Tealight Size.
The size of your tealight can make a significate difference on how long your wax melts will last. Always use a 4 hour tealight, anything bigger will burn too fast and too hot, therefore releasing the fragrance from your wax too quickly, making them seem like they don’t last as long.
Check your burner size.
The size of your burner can make a huge difference, A tall burner will have a bigger gap from point of flame to base of tealight bowl, this meaning it loses heat along the way, in turn not heating the wax enough. A small burner can mean that the flame is too close, therefore heating the wax too quickly.
Placement.
Placement of burner. Having a burner next to a window can cause the cold air from the outside affect how the wax melts, this could make it seem like your wax isn’t melting at all. Also the size of the room in which your wax burner is placed can effect how strong the wax melts seem. Larger rooms will be more subtle, whereas smaller rooms will have a high concentration of fragrance.
Length of time.
The length of time you have your burner lit will also impact fragrance load, burning a wax melt for 4 hours only over 3 days can mean your wax melt will give you multiple days burn time, however if you burn your wax melt from morning to evening, it may seem like your wax melt has lost fragrance after just one day.
Keep your burner clean.
To make sure you get a true scent, make sure to clean your burn each time you change to a new fragrance. This makes sure each scent doesn’t mix with the previous.
Change up your scents.
Make sure you don’t go nose blind? Nose blind is when you can no longer smell a scent even though it is strong. Think of perfume, you wear your favourite perfume everyday, you start to not be able to smell it on yourself, where as friends and family will be able to smell it fine. Switching from your favourite scents from time to time will make them seem stronger and last longer.
