Frequently Asked Questions
Expertly blended in the UK. Unbeatable longevity. No designer markups.
They tend to produce a faster, more immediate scent throw. Because the wax is warmed rather than burned, the fragrance oils vaporise efficiently from the moment the wax starts to melt - most people notice the scent within a few minutes. Whether that makes them "stronger" depends on the room and the burner, but for quick fragrance impact they generally outperform a candle of equivalent size.
Each bar contains 6 cubes, with approximately 10 hours of fragrance per cube - around 60 hours per bar in total. Unlike a candle, the wax itself doesn't evaporate; it stays in the dish while the fragrance oils gradually deplete.
Once the scent has faded, the wax will still be there - that's when it's ready to swap out. See the cleaning question below for the easiest way to do that.
Yes - the same fragrance profiles used in the EDP range go into the wax melts. If you wear No. 197 or No. 463, the matching melt carries the same scent.
It's a practical way to try a fragrance profile at home before committing to a full perfume bottle, or to carry the same scent from your skin into your space.
No - our melts work in both tealight warmers and electric melters. Electric burners give a more consistent temperature, which can extend the scent throw slightly, but either works well.
Snap off a cube, place it in the dish, and the heat does the rest.
Two methods work well. The first: while the wax is fully melted, drop two or three cotton wool balls into the dish - they'll absorb the liquid wax quickly. Lift them out, wipe the dish with a dry cloth, and it's clean.
The second: let the wax cool until it's just set but not fully hardened, then apply light pressure to the edge - it should pop out as a solid disc. Either way takes under a minute.
One cube is enough for most rooms - a bedroom, bathroom, or average-sized living room. For a large open-plan space, two cubes will give you a more even fragrance throughout.
Start with one and see how it performs in your space before adding more.
Yes. We use the same rapeseed and coconut oil wax blend as our candles — both plant-derived, with no paraffin. No animal-derived ingredients, fully vegan and cruelty-free, and made in the UK.

With just one square the room smells for two days, after a couple of hours I had to blow out the candle cause it was too much. I would definitely recommend it if you want something strong and long lasting.
